———————————————————-

Welcome to Dayton, Ohio, the birthplace of the Wright Brothers, and aviation as we know it! It is my pleasure to present this scenery to the X-Plane community. It is my first release, and hopefully it meets the standards of simmers worldwide.

This scenery is dedicated to wing-walker Jane Wicker and pilot Charlie Schwenker, who both lost their lives doing what they loved at the 2013 Vectren Dayton Airshow.

NOTES FOR USE:

This package requires:

OpenSceneryX (http://www.opensceneryx.com/)

RUScenery (http://ruscenery.x-air.ru/)

FFLibrary (http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=12708)

People_LIB (http://www.x-plane.at/drupal/People_LIB)

Highly Suggested:

HD GlobalScenery 2 (Provides superior surrounding scenery, and provides terminal loop road with traffic. Without GS2, there is no road that continues to the terminal.

AutoGate plugin for moving jetways. KDAY does not actually have AutoGates, but there is not yet a virtual marshaller with wands.

***IMPORTANT:***

The default X-Plane ILS data for KDAY does not quite align with my KDAY scenery, so to make the ILS approaches as accurate as possible, I highly suggest replacing the default nav data with my data.

In your X-Plane folder, open Resources/default data/earth_nav.dat.

Search for “KDAY” and replace the 4 lines corresponding to the 4 ILS transmitters with the following lines:

4 39.91483200 -084.20909800 996 10890 18 55.250 IATD KDAY 06L ILS-cat-III

4 39.89349200 -084.24916800 998 11190 18 235.250 IVUQ KDAY 24R ILS-cat-I

Replace the 4 lines corresponding to glideslope locations with the following lines:
