File Name: CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport File Submitter: chris k File Submitted: 18 May 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport 1.20 July 27, 2014 Build Chris K and the ISDG __________________________________________________________ Preamble: This is a generally stable build with no library conflicts; and all areas should be drivable and flyable. The ILS may be a fraction off due to repositioning of the runways to their orthophoto corrected locations, and verified with another 3rd party. It is also currently lacking ATC taxi-flow. However, these omissions are not “showstoppers” per se. __________________________________________________________ General Features: - Photorealistic terrain at 30cm/pix resolution as per the USGS - Proper Taxi Signage (was never there in any previous version of the CYYZ apt.dat it would seem) - Recent CAP CYYZ Charts (SIDs/STARs/RWY Approaches) - Repositioned most field objects to match the orthos, accurate within 15 cm +/- - Fixed runway markings, blastpads, and the like to reflect reality - Gritty ground and orthophoto texture support - Replacement Glideslope towers - Runway Stop Bar / Guard Lighting System (this is for YYZatcboy Joe How’s this for accuracy! ) Each runway entrance is protected by a stop bar consisting of red in-set lights located at all taxi holding positions. This is the runway warning/occupancy indicator system in-use in Toronto, and will be familiar to most heavy metal pilots. - Build-out of industrial parks, Eglinton Ave E, Airport Road, Dixie Road, Brittania, Dixon Road, and the Hotel Strip - Various “Easter Eggs” with more to come in subsequent releases. (See if you can find the Tim Horton’s Coffee Shop!) __________________________________________________________ Notes on the Taxiways: There are two versions of the taxiways included in this package. 1. Normal taxiways shown (regular asphalt, visible, drivable) 2. Hidden taxiways (regular asphalt, not shown, but still drivable) - You can also turn off the taxiways (hide/show) by replacing the “.POL”files located in the “orthophotos/” directory. This will give the same effect as in our CYTZ Package; whereas the taxiways are only drawn as per the ortho, but with visible (XP generated) centre, edge, and-hold-line markings. - Assuming you have the VRAM to run in extreme (native texture) resolution, you can take advantage of the full photo-realistic ground effect. - Simply copy the appropriate files form the “/1 Hide Taxiways/” directory into the parent directory and overwrite the existing POLs. - To restore the regular (visible) taxiways, simply copy the contents of the “/2 Show Taxiways/” into the parent directory, overwriting the POLs. __________________________________________________________ Requirements: - X-Plane 10.20 or better - OpensceneryX 2.0 (http://opensceneryx.com/) - A Modern Video Card with MINIMUM 512Mb VRAM. - You will want to run this scenery at “Very High” or “Extreme” Texture Resolution. - X-Plane 10.20 64-bit and 2 Gb VRAM Video card is recommended for the Highest Texture resolutions. __________________________________________________________ Credits: Base Objects - Freeware FS2004 CYYZ Scenery: This is a direct 1:1 conversion of FS9 Scenery by: Howie Cassidy (kpdc2002@yahoo.ca) Version 1.0 from July 3 2007 As per the original LICENSE: Freeware for personal use only.

File Name: CYTZ Toronto Island Airport File Submitter: chris k File Submitted: 26 May 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 CYTZ Toronto Island Airport Authors: CDN 791M and Chris K of the International Scenery Development Group (ISDG) Version 1.0 - Jun 25, 2013 __________________________________________________________ Features: - USGS 30cm/pix Hi-res Orthophotos. - An Updated Toronto City Centre (Billy Bishop) Airport by CDN791M (Ed). - FreddyV's CN Tower Replacement Object (credits below) - Extensive buildout of Toronto Island and Surrounding Environs (Ontario Place, Christie Spit, etc) - Additional Toronto Downtown Buildings in various locations using the XP10 Art Library. Note: this is a 100% original work for XP10 - and should not detract from Pachett's excellent CYTZ for v9/v10. __________________________________________________________ Requirements: - X-Plane 10.20 or Better (http://www.x-plane.com/) - OpensceneryX 2.0 (http://opensceneryx.com/) - A Modern Video Card with MINIMUM 512Mb VRAM. - You will want to run this scenery at "very high" or "extreme" Texture Resolution. - X-Plane 64-bit and 1 Gb VRAM Video card is recommended for the Higher Texture resolutions. __________________________________________________________ Complimentary packages (i.e. Where is The Rest of Toronto!?!?) You should *also* install the following: CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport X-Pilot: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/471-cyyz-toronto-pearson-airport/ Jacques Brault - Toronto Skyline: X-P.org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=17619 1. Copy Jacques' Package into your /Custom Scenery/ 2. Inside our "CYTZ Toronto Island Airport" package is a folder called "Skyline Package - Night Lighting Textures". 3. Copy in those additional textures (courtesy of ILMARS) to Jacque's Skyline Package's /objects/ directory. This will give you night textures for the buildings. Once done: 4. Edit your /Custom Scenery/scenery.ini file to manually position our package at the top of the .ini file Ensure that our scenery (CYTZ Toronto Island Airport) is before Jacques (zCanada CYTZ Island ON) package in the list. Your scenery_pack.ini should look something like this: I1000 versionSCENERYSCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/CYTZ Toronto Island Airport/SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson/SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/zCanada CYTZ Toronto Island ON/...... other stuff... (Note: If you don't feel like mucking about with an .ini file - simply delete your personal /Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini file, and due to alphabetical order on reload, the load order ends up putting the packages in the correct order). Upon reload of X-Plane, this scenery then merges with Jacques' excellent Toronto Skyline. Due to the way the X-Plane does object overlays, the two scenery packages blend into one seamless scenery, with full day and night lighting effects. __________________________________________________________ Additional stuff you should have: Marginal - Animated Sea Traffic: X-P.Org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=17026 FlyingJackal/FlyJSim - Asphalt Runways Enhanced HD X-P.Org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=16270 Sabach's "HD Environment X" - Replacement Sea/Sky/Cloud/Moon/Smoke Effects X-P.Org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18582 ISDG - Wide Taxiway Markings: X-Pilot: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/406-wide-taxiway-markings-library-replacement/ X-P.Org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18490 ISDG - Replacement Day and Night Lighting: X-Pilot: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/435-replacement-day-and-night-lighting-lightstxt-for-x-plane-1020/ X-P.Org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18742 ISDG - Vehicle Library Extension: X-Pilot: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/125-additional-vehicle-library-extension-xp9xp10-isdg/ X-P.Org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=16812 __________________________________________________________ Credits: Orthophotos courtesy of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) The dataset is the 30cm/pixel US Canada Border HiRes Orthoimagery aka.

File Name: German traffic library File Submitter: uwespeed File Submitted: 19 May 2013 File Category: Misc Scenery Resources X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Installation: as usual, place the content of the downloaded zip file into your Custom Scenery folder before starting X-Plane. You will see the vehicles (only) on german roads and rails. Nevertheless, if you like them and want to have them worldwide, please read the included pdf. If you like to have more european (and thus german) traffic on your roads, download the Vehicle Library Extension, to which I contributed 15 european vehicles. Click here to download this file

File Name: C77 Poplar Grove Illinois Photoreal File Submitter: chris k File Submitted: 04 Jan 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 C77 Poplar Grove Photoreal Version 1.0, Jan 04, 2013 By: Chris K and the ISDG Group This scenery was made in request from a user named Becky Lynn, who is a new XP10 user (but not new to flying!) who was very surprised that nobody had taken this cute fly-in / live-in residential airport and updated it's taxiways since the beginning of time. I was about to walk through a quick learn tutorial with WED, but since this was a one-off, I decided to quickly update the taxiways myself. Since I had WED open anyways, I also decided to give it the "Photo Underlay" Treatment and spruce it up with some standard XP10 library objects at the same time. (Hangars, FBOs, etc.) Took about 2 hours to get done. Nothing fancy. Enjoy! ______________________________________ INSTALLATION: Copy to your /Custom Scenery/ Folder. ______________________________________ IMAGERY CREDIT: Orthophotos courtesy of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) The dataset uses the 30cm/pixel USGS HiRes Orthoimagery This Imagery is in the Public Domain as per: http://cumulus.cr.us...listofortho.php Copyrights and Credits USGS-authored or produced data and information are considered to be in the U.S. public domain.
