Laconia, New Hampshire - KLCI - lake elevation correction

File Description:
Runway 8 at the Laconia, New Hampshire - KLCI - is situated quite close to a lake. The elevation of the lake in FS2004 is such that it presents a "cliff" of water in the default setting. (see "before" screenshot). This package contains a simple flatten file which brings the lake down to the elevation of the airport and corrects a floating building issue also (see "after" screenshot). Please unzip to a temporary folder and follow the very simple installation instructions. Created with Steve Greenwood's FSTflatten program by David "Opa" Marshall for your flying enjoyment.

Panel Icon for Airport Chart Viewer Program - with an illustrated installation guide.

File Description:
Panel Icon for use with Airport Chart Viewer Program - with an illustrated installation guide. This package provides a panel icon for use with the fine program by Holger Maass - apchart.zip. Because it is listed in the FSX category here in the library, many may not be aware the program works well in FS2004 also. I have created this panel icon to easily invoke the Chart Viewer while flying. No programming knowledge is required. The icon can be added to vitually any panel and setups for the default Beech Baron 58 and B737-400 are included. Please unzip this package to a temporary folder and follow the instructions. The guide has been compiled in .DOC and .PDF formats for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

Dallas, Texas Love Field (KDAL) - AI Greyhound Bus Shuttle amd Scenery

File Description:
Dallas, Texas - Love Field (KDAL) Shuttle Bus Service. This package adds a fictional Shuttle Bus service (using an AI Greyhound Bus) from the GA side of the airport to the Main terminal. It is designed to compliment the Sikorsky S-76C Helijet Shuttle service - dallashj.zip and s76_dhj.zip - available from this site. At the Bus Shuttle starting location, and along the bus route, there are a few scenery enhancements created with the EZ Scenery Object Placer program. All necessary files - other than the AI Greyhound Bus - are included. This scenery is presented not only as an interesting addition to the KDAL airport, but also as a “case study” to help you add the same type of service in other suitable locations. By studying the Afcad I have created, you will quickly see how it is possible to include AI Bus service in your sceneries using the "invisible” airport technique. Please unzip this package (using folders option) to a temporary folder and carefully follow the simple installation instructions.

Wake Effect for Static Ships - Clarification

File Description:
Wake Effect for Static Ships - Clarification. Some users have repported that they are unable to compile their properly written xml files into a bgl using bglcomp.exe. This clarification provides a link to the Microsoft Parser program which is required for bglcomp to work. I incorrectly assumed everyone would already have the parser (msxml) installed on their computers. There is also a recommendation for a handy little utility to be used with bglcomp. It shows any errors which may occur during compilation (such as a missing parser program) and that makes it much easier to solve non-compiling problems. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience my oversight may have caused.
