I've produced this scenery to provide taxiways, buildings and details as they were around 1963 for airports in the Southwestern US (except for Las Vegas, which has already been released). I've added many new GMAX terminals, with many other details included.  Don't forget to check out the classic billboards around the airports.  I have used real advertisements to create a wonderful look at 50's/60's advertising! 

Thanks to Dee Waldron, who created the Heron 2B and the Piper PA28R Arrow used in this package for Apache and Thunderbird AI traffic!

To see the classic GA traffic at Phoenix, you will need to download and install the Frame Rate Friendly planes listed in the CalClassic GA Traffic package.

NOTE:  Grand Canyon (KGCN) is replaced with Valle (40G)
       Canyonlands (KCNY) is replaced with Moab (KMOK)

I suggest you use AI Traffic Mover AITM, or yRoute to edit your traffic to these new aiports, to get the full flavor of the scenery.

At Albuquerque you will see Kirtland AFB, the longest runway in the USA when built in 1953 (for the B-36).  Note the first generation B-50s in front of the old B-36 hangars.  All the conversion work necessary for nuclear bombs was done at Kirtland AFB.  Several C-130s are present, bringing in necessary parts to do this conversion work for the Air Force.  At Salt Lake Municipal airport, you will see the Utah Air Guard base, with KC-97s.  The original KSLC terminal, used until 1960, is located on the southeast corner of the airport.  At Phoenix, the original terminal stands at the northwest quadrant of the airport, it was torn down in 1964.  At Tucson, the original terminal, used until mid 1963, is at the southwest corner of the airport.  It is a world war II hangar, with ticketing and lobby added to one section.  It still stands today.

*** PLEASE TURN OFF THE PHOENIX AERIAL PHOTO LAYER LOCATED IN THE SCENERY LIBRARY ***

Suggested Additions:

Included in this zip file is bonville.zip, a scenery for the Bonneville salt flats of Utah, by Per Kruuse.  Thanks  for letting us include it!  Install the BGL file into the FS2004/Addon Scenery/CalClassic Landclass/scenery folder if you wish to use it only with this scenery; follow his instructions otherwise.

If you do not have another airport texture addon, I suggest that you download and install airland1.zip from AVSIM or elsewhere.  It increases frame rates while adding detail to the concrete and asphalt aprons, taxiways, and runways.

There is a Meteor Crater scenery available at flightsim.com (and elsewhere?), and the freeware Superstition Mountains terrain mesh files from FSGenesis available from AVSIM and flightsim.com (and elsewhere?).

AI propliner and GA traffic matching this scenery is available separately from www.calclassic.com (AI Aircraft page).  Airstairs object originally by John MacKay, simplified for AI use by Tom Gibson. Thanks again!

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.

0.  IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED THIS SCENERY BEFORE YOU MUST DELETE THE FS2004/ADDON SCENERY/SOUTHWESTERN USA 1963 FOLDER FIRST!

1. ***IMPORTANT*** Download and install the scenery libraries contained in the Classic Scenery Libraries v4 or later 
(File 1 and File 2) compiled by Wolfgang Gersch, if you have not done so already.  Latest links at the top of
http://www.calclassic.com/scenery.htm

2. Download and install the EZ-Scenery Libraries, available from: http://www.calclassic.com/scenery

3.  Note that some ojbects will not appear if you have not installed the California 59/62 scenery.

4.  Quit FS2004 if running.

5.  Double click this SW1963.zip file archive to open it.  You will find 
this text file and a file called SetupSW1963.exe.

6.  Double click the SetupSW1963.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 already installed some of the CalClassic scenery packages, 
you may have at least some of the required scenery layers installed.  If so, skip that 
step (see below).

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

8.  If there is no Southwestern USA 1963 area listed there, click on the Add Area button.  
Double click the ADDON SCENERY folder.  Click the Southwestern USA 1963 folder once.  
Click OK.

9.  If you have any addon scenery for Southwestern USA airports, jetways, etc. uncheck 
that scenery's Active box to inactivate it.

10.  Uncheck the Phoenix Aerial Photo Scenery layer.

11.    Click OK.  Quit and restart FS.

12.  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.

13.  (Optional) If you want white taxiway lines AROUND THE WORLD, rename the 
taxiway_marks.bmp file found in the FS2004 TEXTURE folder to 
taxiway_marks.bmp.yellow.  Then copy the taxiway_marks.bmp file found in 
the FS2004/Addon Scenery/Southwestern USA 1963 folder to the FS2004 TEXTURE folder.  Restart
FS.

If you want yellow lines again, rename this current taxiway_marks.bmp file to
taxiway_marks.bmp.white, and rename the taxiway_marks.bmp.yellow file to 
taxiway_marks.bmp.  Restart FS.

14.  (Optional)  If you have the CalClassic AI traffic installed and want to see Thunderbird Pipers 
at SLC and Ogden (etc.), follow the instructions in the FS2004/Addon Scenery/Southwestern USA 1963/Aircraft/AI_PA28R_Arrow/Thunderbird.txt file.

15.  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 
Southwestern USA 1963, CalClassic Core and CalClassic Landclass entries until the red check 
marks are removed to deactivate the 1963 scenery (do not deactivate the Static
Objects Library layer).  If you have white taxiways, revert to yellow by renaming the 
current taxiway_marks.bmp file in the FS2004 TEXTURE folder to taxiway_marks.bmp.white, 
and rename the taxiway_marks.bmp.yellow file to taxiway_marks.bmp.  Check the Phoenix Aerial
Photo layer and any inactivated addon scenery areas for the Southwestern USA.  You must restart 
FS after you do all of this.

Reverse this process again to go back to 1963.
