Credits
Designing and building such a scenery is a very complex process which
can only be achieved with the help of many people and enthusiasts.
We would therefore like to thank all our helpers who were kind
enough to provide us with photographic material, advice as beta
testers or with small programs which enhance this scenery. All these
people ensured a creation of this scenery as close to the original as
possible.
Thank you to Matthias Bachmann from Geocontent for providing
us with the aerial photos of all the airports included in the scenery
package.
The “Dynamic Airport Enhancement Services“ and a new designer tool
which we used the first time with this scenery, have been developed
by Oliver Pabst based on the Intelliscene Technology by Maurizio M.
Gavioli, VistaMare Software (“AES Lite for GAP-EDLW by Oliver Pabst,
powered by Intelliscene of VistaMare“). Oliver, many thanks for the
quick thumbs up, to take over this part of the EDLW scenery.
The basics of some static aircraft have been designed by Marcel Felde.
To overhaul the surroundings of this scenery in FS2004 we have used
the program Ground2K4 by Christian Fumey. Thank you very much for
your permission to use this program.
Another thank you goes to Lee Swordy for his program AFCAD which
creates and adapts AI traffic to this scenery.
The AFCAD-files were created by author of this scenery and were
optimized by Oliver Pabst.
