Date of Release: January 18, 2015
Version: 1.00
This project adds and updates all of the airports of Bhutan. Bathpalathang (VQBT) and Gelephu (VQGP) are added, Yongphulla (VQ10) is updated and recoded as VQTY, and Paro (VQPR) is fully updated to reflect current satellite imagery. These are all fully functioning AI airports as well. Special attention was given to the entire Paro Valley, and numerous road/river vectors were updated around Gelephu. Accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. They are optimized to fit seamlessly with FTX Vector's roads/water, but they should be fully functional in all FSX configurations. GA-encoded flight plans for the Buddha Air/Kathmandu charter are provided to enhance service to Paro. NASA SRTM Global 3 arc second terrain mesh is also included for all of Bhutan. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery, when available. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.
INSTALLATION
1) Terrain mesh - If you do not own a commercially released terrain mesh product, the included NASA SRTM Global 3 arc second terrain mesh is REQUIRED for proper airport displays. If you already have a terrain mesh product, you may disable (or delete) all of the files beginning with "SRTMGL3". However, please visit each airport before deleting these files, so that you can visually compare whether or not you need these files.
2) GA-encoded flight plans for the Buddha Air/Kathmandu charter - The BGL traffic file and decompiled flight plans can be found in the "AI Traffic" folder. Place the "Traffic_Buddha_Air-Kathmandu_charter_VQPR.bgl" file in FSX "Scenery/World/Scenery" folder. The two Buddha Air ATR 42-320 liveries can be found at http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=buddha_air_fleet.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search and the base model can be found here http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=32857616
3) Altitude corrections - Copy both the "VQ10_ADEX_CS_ALT.BGL" and "VQPR_ADEX_CS_ALT.BGL" files from the "Put in Scenery-World-Scenery" folder to the FSX "Scenery/World/Scenery" folder. If you have installed any of these four airports from other authors, please make sure to disable them before using this software. Make sure to disable any other altitude correction BGLs in your "Scenery/World/Scenery" folder that may be present for these airports to avoid scenery conflicts.
4) Extract the "Bhutan_Airports_and_Paro_Valley.zip" file. Place the "Bhutan_Airports_and_Paro_Valley" folder in your "Addon Scenery" folder. Start FSX and add and activate the new folder through the "Settings - Scenery Library - Add Area..." menus.
