UK2000 SCENERY  LONDON AIRPORTS
FOR FS2000 & FS2002

 

London Airports is a collection of the 5 airports in the London area, which are Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick, Luton and London City. This Scenery represents the finest Flight Sim scenery you will ever find for these airports.

Just take a look at these features:

  • All buildings accurately modelled and textured
  • Taxiway centreline
  • All the Stands and Ai r gates!
  • Timed departure board!
  • Timed Stop Bars
  • Passengers gathering prior to the departure time!
  • Taxiway/stand markings that are realistic
  • BRITISH runway markings
  • Very detailed holding points with timed holds (Wig Wags)
  • Aircraft guidance boards
  • Night lighting affects and transparent terminal glass
  • Internal details
  • Perimeter fencing & trees
  • Static Aircraft
  • Dynamic objects
  • FS Traffic tracks for ALL 5 Airports

Every effort has been made to model as much as possible, of cause not every building can be modeled or else your simulator work stops moving! But I believe you will find this compromise between detail and frame rate speed ideal. Every stand has been included (expect some double parking stands at Heathrow)

The self-installing EXE program is the simplest installation procedure I’ve made to date. This program will search and find your FS2000 folder and install into your scenery config file. The uninstall also works (not that you would need to uninstall!).

Even my dad can understand this (And believe me that’s saying something!)

Aircraft crossing Gates Changing Static
As many of you may know a public road crosses the eastern end of the airfield leading to the BA Maintenance area. Across this road are two gate which will open up to let the aircraft cross the road. This function is duplicated in the scenery, but does depend on you using a COCKPIT view point. Not only do you see hundreds of static aircraft, theses aircraft will 'shuffle' there locations depending on what day your flying!.

NOTE: All London Airport customers are entitled to a FREE! update of this scenery to insure it’s works with FS2002 when it’s released later this year.

S C R E E N S H O T S

Docking Distance board

This board is used to inform the pilot at which point to stop the aircraft. Trying to implement this into FS2000 is 90% successful. The biggest problem is that some designer make aircraft models that have the cockpit view on the nose of the plane! The docking system relies on the cockpit view point to tell the pilot when to stop. If you have an aircraft which has a badly aligned cockpit view, you need to stop latter than the board displays.

The Docking board itself if pretty self explanatory, the boards can be identified by its flashing green lights. If the board does not flash then its probable because the airgate is in the docked position. Due to the nature of flight simulation, it gets harder to see the board as you get closer, what you should do is switch to wide angle view (press the 'W'). There is one other issue that affects the docking. Due a bug in FS2000 when you first load up your aircraft your view is in the middle of plane!. This of cause makes the docking useless. To get around this you MUST look out of any side window when you load an aircraft. By doing this the bug goes and you are in the cockpit again.

Catering Trucks


At all the airports( expect City) you will find interactive Catering trucks!. 1 Min after the airgate has moved in the truck will move towards your aircraft, 1min latter the ramp will lift, 3mins prior to departure the ramp goes down and 2min from departure the truck backup

AirStairs


At Luton airport on Stands 6,1R and 44 you will have moving airstair these stair will dock with your plane at the same time as the Catering trucks moves in, the stair will then move away 3 min prior to departure(Parking it set at 13mins, I little quick for real 'turnaround' but hey this is simulation and I we dont want to wait that long.

Azimuth Guide


This can be found at all the active gates and is simple red/green indicator to help keep your aircraft lined up with the centre of the parking bay. Again it only come on when the airgate is in the 'out' position.

AirGates


The actual airgate are programmed to dock with your aircraft when the docking board displays 'STOP'. There is a 10-30 second delay between the STOP and the gate moving. The airgates will adjust its height, depth and length to suit your aircrafts type. The gates will then swing back out when the departure board says it's time to leave. However this process can be speeded up by switching on MAP view and zooming in. This make the departure read 1min to go. NOTE: IT TAKES 1MIN BEFORE THE GATE RESETS TO ALLOW YOU TO RE-DOCK

At Luton there are no Gates, but the same timers exist so the Catering truck and Airstair use the same timing sequence.

Departure Board

Another gadget is the departure board. After you have docked the guidance system should turn off and then the mins to departure lights up informing you how long you have to wait until the planes ready to leave. This is random between 12-9mins, However this process can be speeded up by switching on MAP view and zooming in. This make the departure read 1min to go.NOTE: IT TAKES 1MIN BEFORE THE GATE RESET TO ALLOW YOU TO RE-DOCK

Stop bars at the Holding points


You will notice a lot holding points in the scenery, Some also have line of lights across the hold. Sometimes these light will be RED and sometime GREEN. No prizes for guessing that you need to stop when there RED.

Runway Lead off lights

At night you will notice some alternating green/yellow taxi lights, these are there to show which exit you take.

Gathering Passengers

gate5.jpg (43714 Byte)
During the waiting period when the departure board is counting down ,you may see the passengers gather inside the 'Europier' waiting for the departure, and 2 mins prior to departure the passengers disappear to board your plane! Of cause this process takes longer in reality, but I dont think many FS Users really want to wait a hour before taking off!.
