by Julio Birman, Al Courtney, and Tom Gibson - tgibson@mail.sdsu.edu

Version 2, 4/13, for FS2004 only.

VERSION 2 FEATURES:

New custom buildings from Al Courtney for the Douglas plant and water tower, as well as the United and American hangars.


This scenery depicts Chicago O'Hare airport as it was circa 1962, and features the now demolished original control tower terminals as well as the Welcome to O'Hare airport sign listing Mayor Richard J. Daley. One of the most remarkable features of this scenery is that it also brings back the city of Chicago to 1960. You will notice that both Willis Tower and John Hancock buildings are not there as neither was built back then. Chicago Soldier filed has also been remodeled to it's 1960 former glory.

This scenery is a modification of the original 1960 KORD scenery by Julio Birman, and that KORD_1960 scenery layer (and folder, if desired) should be removed when installing this scenery (see below).

You also should download and install the Classic Libraries package from CalClassic (http://www.calclassic.com/scenery.htm) and EZ Scenery libraries; see below for installation instructions.

History of the airport in the classic era from Wikipedia:

Commercial passenger flights started in 1955 and by the following year O'Hare was served by American, BOAC, Braniff, Capital, Delta, Eastern, North Central, Pan Am, TWA and United, along with freight airlines Riddle and Slick.[12] O'Hare also opened a $1 million "Skymotive" terminal for corporate aircraft in 1955, the first of its kind.

Growth was slow at first. By 1957 Chicago had invested over $25 million in O'Hare, but Midway remained the world's busiest airport and airlines were reluctant to relocate all of their services to O'Hare until better highway access and other capital improvements were completed. The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows 10 weekday departures on United, 9 on American, 6 on Capital, 3 Eastern, 3 TWA, 2 Delta, 2 North Central, and 1 Braniff. Also three weekly Pan Am and one weekly BOAC (Air France and Lufthansa were at Midway). O'Hare's first dedicated international terminal opened in August 1958. By April 1959 the airport had expanded to 7,200 acres (29 km2) with new hangars, terminals, parking and other facilities. The expressway link to downtown Chicago was completed in 1960.

Ground was broken for the main terminal complex, of Terminals 2 and 3 remain standing today, April 1, 1959. The complex, designed by C. F. Murphy and Associates, opened on January 1, 1962.

All fixed-wing scheduled airline service in Chicago moved from Midway to O'Hare by July 1962. President John F. Kennedy attended a dedication ceremony in 1963. The arrival of Midway's former traffic quickly made O'Hare the world's busiest airport, serving 10 million passengers annually. Within two years that number would double, with more people passing through O'Hare in 12 months than Ellis Island had processed in its entire existence. 


INSTALLATION

This EXE installer will NOT create a Start Menu entry, registry entry, uninstall program
or anything else, other than copying the relevant files to the proper folders.  You may
install to a temporary folder by pressing the ... button and copying things by hand if you wish.

NOTE:  If you have already installed the original scenery by Julio Birman, the modified Chicago.bgl file is no 
longer required.  You can restore the original file if you wish, assuming you made a backup file.  In the 
FS/Namc/scenery folder,delete the Chicago.bgl file and rename your backup file to chicago.bgl.  If you did not 
make a backup file, the modified file will not affect this scenery.

1. Quit FS2004 if running.

2. ***IMPORTANT*** Download and install the scenery libraries contained in the Classic Scenery Libraries v2 
compiled by Wolfgang Gersch (Classic_Libraries_v2.zip at flightsim.com or the link at the top of the CalClassic 
Scenery page), if you have not done so already.

3. Download and install the EZ-Scenery Libraries, available from: http://www.abacuspub.com/pub/AbacusEZLibraries.exe

4. Open this Chicago_ORD_1962.zip file archive by double clicking it.  You will find 
this text file and a file called Setup.exe.

5. Double click the Setup.exe file to start the installation.  Press 
the Run button at the warning screen.  If it doesn't find your FS2004 folder automatically, 
press the ... button and browse to it.  Follow the instructions to install.

NOTE FOR NEXT STEPS:  If you have installed this scenery before, you may have at least some 
of the required scenery layers installed.  If so, skip that step (see below).

6. Start FS2004, and go to the Settings/Scenery Library choice on the 
opening screen.  If you are currently flying, press Escape (Esc) and then End 
Flight to get to this screen. Look at the top portion of the list.  If you see a KORD_1960
scenery layer (from Julio Birman's original scenery), click it to highlight it and press 
the Delete Area button.  After restarting FS (see below), you can also delete the KORD_1960 folder 
from your FS/Addon Scenery folder if you wish.

7.  If there is no KORD_1962 area listed there, click on the Add Area button.  Double click the 
ADDON SCENERY folder.  Click the KORD_1962 folder once.  Click OK.

8. Click the Enabled box in the Chicago Aerial Photo layer to remove the red check mark.  This will
inactivate the modern photoscenery of the airport.

9.  If you have any other addon scenery for Chicago O'Hare (airports, jetways, etc.) uncheck 
that scenery's Active box to inactivate it.

10. Click OK.  Quit and restart FS.

11. If at the main screen, choose Create Flight at the left, select desired items, and
press Fly Now.  Choose Options/Settings/Display.  Under Scenery Objects set the
Scenery Density to Dense or less (setting to Very or Extremely Dense will display modern
jetways at default airports).  Also, set the Autogen Density to Dense or less 
(any higher may display telephone poles in odd places at the airports); this will also 
simulate the less dense cities found in the era.  Click OK.

12. If you later want to fly in the modern era, just go into the Scenery Library 
(Settings/Scenery Library) and click on the Enabled box next to the KORD_1962 layer 
until the red check mark is removed to deactivate the 1962 scenery (do not deactivate the 
Static Objects Library layer).  Click on the Enabled box next to the Chicago Aerial Photo
layer until the red check mark is restored to activate it.  You must restart FS after 
you do all of this.  Reverse this process again to go back to 1962.
