AFCAD files for some Greek Airports V1 - for FS2004

Files attached are for Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, Athens (LGAV), Nikos Kazantzakis, Iraklion (LGIR), Makedonia Airport, Thessaloniki (LGTS), Diagoras Airport, Rodos (LGRP), Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport, Kerkira (LGKR), plus smaller airports at Alexandroupolis (LGAL), Mikonos (LGMK), Santorini (LGSR), Karpathos (LGKP), Kos (LGKO), Samos (LGSM), Chios (LGHI), Lesvos (LGMT), Limnos (LGLM), Kavala (LGKV), Kastoria (LGKA), Kozani (LGKZ), Ioannina (LGIO), Kefallinia (LGKF), Zakinthos (LGZA), and Skiathos (LGSK).

These airports are developed from the stock airports, and not from any authorative source, to provide reasonable space for AI flights. Minor corrections have been made where there were errors, such as concrete taxiways bleeding into asphalt. Smaller airports will now accept GA large aircraft so Dash 8 of Olympic can be handled for the inter-island flights and at the smaller airfields. Military airports have not been included, they are the better ones in fact, and some are used for commercial flights.

A repaint of the stock Dash 8 in Olympic livery is dash8oly.zip by Maximos Sevastopoulis. 

Notes on airports:

LGAV - The largest of the airports, the hub for international and domestic flights. The runway 21L/03R is selected for takeoff, with 21R/03L for landing, purely for convenience of AI flights. All runways have associated ILS. 

LGIR, LGTS, LGRP and LGKR are the medium sized airports where parking has been developed, and able to handle varied AI flights.

The others are all small, but important in domestic links. Afcad files have been tidied up and parking maximised, without creating new areas. All can handle up to GA large, a few have small gates.    

The Control Tower at each airport has been positioned in the correct place, in some cases where there is no physical tower, a tower viewpoint has been selected near the parking area. Runways properties have not been altered (except for LGAV). Although ILS's are few and far between (not required, great wx!), most of the airports have a VOR and/or NDB.

Airline parking: Priority has not been given for specific airline parking. Standard airports with standard parking preferred to provide a basic but full layout, as every user has a different selection of aircraft and airlines. Feel free to add your own airline parking and priorities. 

Installation: You must have Afcad 204 or later installed. Just move the unzipped .bgl file(s) into your fs2004 file Addon Scenery\scenery and when next you load fs2004 the new parking will be installed. If you don't like any file, just delete it and the original file will be activated at the next load. 

You may use, modify and redistribute these files in any way you see fit, on your own responsibility.

Thanks as always to Lee Swordy for his great Afcad and Ttools programs. The latest Traffic tools for fs2004, version 202,  has been available from 16 August 2003 , with the new Afcad 211 released end November 2003.
