General Information
Bergen airport, Flesland (ENBR, BGO) is located on the eastern
shoreline of Norway approximately 15km from Bergen city. The airport
is currently the second busiest airport in Norway and served over six
million passengers during 2013.
Bergen was originally only served by water aerodromes, during WWll
the Wehrmacht was looking for a suitable location to build an airstrip.
Mostly to fend off air raids performed by the British, but also to
protect shipping and interest along the coastline. They later chose
Herdla (an island to the north of Bergen) as the best alternative and
built two runways there. One of the main reasons for the choice of
that location was that earlier a Messerschmitt bomber had to do a
forced landing in that area. The aircraft was later on able to take off
without much difficulty. So in that sense they could quickly make
suitable runways without having to flatten a lot of terrain.
After the war ended talks about building an airfield to serve the
Bergen area started again. The main choice was still Herdla, mostly
due to the poor topographic terrain surrounding Bergen. But after
some back and forth Herdla was removed as an option due to the
impossibility to extend the runways beyond the initially proposed
length of 1500 meters. Another nail in the coffin for Herdla was the
lack of connection to the mainland at that time and transportation to
and from the island would have to be by ferry from Bergen.
During the 50’s funding from NATO was obtained and the Flesland
area looked like the only viable option. Construction commenced
1952 and in 1955 Flesland Airport was opened to the public, though
The Royal Norwegian Air Force had been using the airport for a couple
of years before this time and Flesland Air Station was co-located at the
aerodrome up until 1999.
Bergen X
Due to its geographical location Flesland was the only Norwegian
airport used for SAS intercontinental flights to New York up until the
1980’s. During that same time increased traffic load required an
expansion of the aerodrome and in the late 80’s a new Terminal was
opened.
The old Terminal still stands and is now used for a substantial amount
of the flights to offshore oil platforms in the North Sea, operated by
CHC Helicopter Service and Bristow Norway.
The aerodrome has one north/south facing runway 2990 meters
(9810ft) long, both ends equipped with instrument landing systems
(ILS). The approach to both runways follows the scenic coastline that
Norway is well known for.
Further expansions of the aerodrome is planned, the first step is to
build a new terminal capable of handling the increased traffic load
that is predicted in the coming years. The new terminal is scheduled to
be completed in 2017.

Configuration Tool
The configuration Tool is included so you can adjust the complexity of
the scenery, this way you will be able to deactivate certain features
and have better performance on lower end systems. In this section of
the manual each option will be explained, experiment with the
different options to find out what suits you the best.
3D Lights
This option you can choose between simple or complex taxi, runway
and approach lights. The “COMPLEX” option includes a detailed 3D
model of the light fixtures, while the “SIMPLE” option is a single effect
orb.
3D Passengers
This option controls the display of 3D people sitting and walking
around inside the terminal.

Equipment Density
This option controls the amount of static equipment located around
the airport.
Static Aircraft
Static aircrafts are included as an option. The Gates where the static
aircrafts are parked are removed in the AFCAD, that way no AI traffic
will try to park there if you are using both AI and Static Aircrafts.
Docking System
A fully functional docking system is included in this scenery.
(FSX and P3Dv1.4 only)
Detailed Trees
This option lets you choose between high detail trees placed around
the terminal area or a simple option with low-polygon trees that are
more FPS friendly.
3D Grass
The scenery includes three different options regarding 3D grass,
“NONE”, “LITE” and “NORMAL”. If you are using a low end computer
try the different options to find the one that suits you the best.
Bergen X
Bump Maps
Bump maps are used to add extra detail to the jetway models.
(Some graphics cards can experience flickering on the jetways when
viewed from a distance with this option enabled. If you have this
problem you can deactivate this option)
Texture Resolution
This scenery includes 3 options when it comes to 2048 sized textures.
“None” Removes all 2048 sized textures and replaces them with a
lower resolution.
“Terminal Only” Installs 2048 sized textures for the area seen when
taxiing to and from the terminal.
“All” Installs all the 2048 sized textures included in the scenery.
KEEP IN MIND THAT FSX HAS A MAXIMUM TEXTURE SIZE OF 1024
SET AS DEFAULT. FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO USE 2048 SIZE TEXTURES
OPEN THE FSX.CFG AND EDIT THE FOLLWING LINE:
TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024
TO
TEXTURE _MAX_LOAD=2048 OR (TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096)
Runway Markings
Norway is known for its beautiful fjords (and lurking Trolls...), but for
aviation enthusiasts it’s known for its yellow runway markings.
Sadly, these markings are soon history. Most of the large international
airports will have them repainted in a more stylish white color.
Aerosoft GmbH 2014
14 15
So, if you are one of those nostalgic types you have the option to
install yellow runway markings at Bergen.
Seasons
The photo-real ground automatically switches between seasons, but
due to certain limitations in the FSX and P3D it’s not possible to do the
same with native FSX/P3D 3D models.
The seasonal textures for those objects are controlled with this option.
