Add-On scenery

For MS FS2004, FSX & Prepar3D

Version 1
Belfast City airport is located 4Miles from the city centre and shares the airfield with
Bombardier aircraft facility. The airfield started life in 1938 as Belfast Harbour airport
“Sydenham”. During the war years it was know as HMS Nutts Corner and RAF Belfast and was
the birth place of many Shorts aircraft including the shorts flying boat. The Runway was
extended in 1952 to its current 6000ft length and at the time its terminal facility were very basic
comprising of sheds and war time Nissan huts.

From 1983 onwards the airport build new buildings when it became an official airport and in
2001 the current terminal was constructed. In 2006 the airport was renamed to “George Best
Belfast City airport” in memory of the footballer.

Installation
The installation is fully automatic; it will search the Windows registry for the location of your
FS Folder and use this as the default initial location. You can install Belfast City Xtreme to any
location but please remember where you placed it for future updates.

It will also install FS AFD data (via an AFCAD file for the airfield) to allow the AI aircraft to taxi
and park correctly. The FSX\P3D version also routes the default vehicles away from AI routes.

The product does not include any large airliner AI, as this may conflict with the users AI add-
ons.

After the basic installation of the files, the ‘Setup and Options’ program will auto-run. This
program is needed to add the new scenery area within FS9/FSX/P3D and for you to select
certain options. You must also ‘activate’ the scenery.

This setup program is also designed to update your ‘scenery.cfg’ file, but you are free to install
the scenery manually if you don’t want to use this part of it.

Also please have a look at the various OPTIONS on the set-up program; there are quite a few
available.

Uninstall
Please run the product’s uninstall process.
Click START – PROGRAMS - UK2000 scenery-UK2000 Belfast City Xtreme“Setup and Options”.

You should never remove the actual scenery manually without removing it from the FS
database. The ‘Setup and Options’ should be used to remove the scenery correctly

The Airfield
Belfast City is located 3 miles from Belfast City. The Easiest way to find the airfield is to use
the to Airport system within FS. Start FS (use your default flight if needed). Make sure you are
using the FS default database (not the add-on scenery database) and enter ”EGAC”

Belfast City has one main runway 04-22.

Display Settings
There are two important settings that users need to ensure are set to use this product
correctly. These are shown below

For both FSX\P3D and FS2004 set Global Max texture to ‘Massive’, this to ensure the 1024 size
images are displayed corrected, (if not set they will be blurred)

2
For FSX\P3D, Set Mesh resolution to 19m or lower ( 5 is best ), this is to ensure the close fitting
terrain details do not form ‘gaps’ near the airfield edges. Set Texture resolution of 60cm or
better, this is to ensure the ground image is displayed at its sharpest

FS2004 users should set “Trilinear” Filtering (Start FS2004, click settings, hardware)

Approach lights
This scenery also includes 3D approach lights. (P3D users may want to stick with default due
to range issues)

These lights are on 24 hours a day so they can be used in bad weather, sorry you cant turn
them off.

Frame Rates
This scenery is very complex, but it is programmed in an efficient way. Compared to other
products this scenery is very good on frame rates. But please don’t set your FS2004/FSX/P3D
at maximum settings and expect to get a smooth ride. Most of the frame rate problems have
nothing to do with the add-on scenery. AI aircraft and FULL Autogen will slow your PC the
most.

Compatibility
This scenery fits well with the default FS9,FSX & P3D scenery; this product is made to fit with
the Horizon Software VFR Photo scenery for FS2004/FSX and Orbx FTX Scenery.

AFCAD File
What’s an AFCAD?
AFCAD is actually a program written by Lee Swordy. The files it produces are referred to as
AFCAD files. The program and files enable scenery designers to alter the way the AI aircraft
taxi and park, put simply it means I can line up the AI aircraft within FS to the add-on scenery,
which will never be the same as the default MS Scenery.

In FS2004/FSX the data is stored in individual files, one for each airfield. With this product the
file is installed to the same folder as the rest of the scenery (unlike previous UK2000 products)

Why am I telling you all this? One of the problems users often get when installing add-ons is
duplicate AFCAD files for the same airport. FS9,FSX & P3D may use the wrong file and your AI
will be in the wrong places. If you have AI in wrong places the one way to solve this is by
moving the UK2000 Scenery products and AFCAD area to the top of the scenery library. (Start
FS, click settings, select scenery library). If this doesn’t solve your problem then you will have
to delete the other conflicting AFCAD file from the other add-on.

AFCAD files do change regularly, so I suggest you visit the AFCAD page on the website to
update your product.

There is an additional ZIP file installed in the product folder called ‘AFCADS.ZIP’ please read
the ‘readme.txt’ inside this ZIP for additional AFCAD information
