INTRODU C T I ON
Vilnius International Airport (IATA : VNO, ICAO: EYVI) (or in Lithuanian: Tarptautinis Vilniaus oro uostas) is the
largest civil airport in Lithuania. It was designed in the standard Soviet airport way (down to the murals of soldier
comrades) in the 1950s for just 20 aircraft movements a day. When Lithuania became part of the EU and the
economy blossomed the airport got a new highly modern terminal in 2007. The airport now handles close to 1, 5
million passengers every year.
Lithuania is a proud country with a rich history and a bright future. The economy is hit by the 2007 economic crises
but just before that it was one of the fastest growing economies in the EU. As the basic elements of the nation did
not change there is a solid chance the country will become a regional power to be reckoned with in the decades to
come. The modern airport will be a major factor in that development.

CONTACT SUPPORT
Support for this product is done by Aerosoft. We prefer to do support on the support forum for one simple reason,
it is fast and efficient because customers help customers when we are sleeping.
Aerosoft forums: http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/
We feel strongly about support. Buying one of our products gives you the right to waste out time with questions
you feel might be silly. They are not.
INST ALLAT ION A N D R EM OVAL
Installation is simple. Unzip the file that you downloaded and start the exe file you downloaded and follow the
instructions on your screen. Make sure FSX (or FS2004) is closed and we do advise you to reboot your system
before installing. Make sure you are logged on as Administrator on the machine! After installing it can help to
defragment your hard disk. Do note that the files are personalized on installation. When you share them with
others you also share personal details.
After installation has finished the Aerosoft Launcher will start and the
Removal should never be done manually but only using the software removal applet you will find the Windows
Control panel.

SE A S ONS
Lithuania has a mild climate compared to other
countries at the same latitude. This is mainly
because of the tempering effects of the sea. But
it does get a good deal of snow and the scenery
reflects this between November 1st and March
31st. If you find the 3d grass used in the scenery
annoying in the snowy season you can use the
Season Tool (part of the Aerosoft Launcher, you
can disable it with the Seasons Tool that is part
of the Aerosoft Launcher. You will find it under
the TOOLS dropdown menu. Select the product
you wish to set the season for and select scroll
the season you want in front. You can also find
the Season program via the Windows Start
menu under Aerosoft | Vilnius.
FINDI NG T H E A I R P ORT
You will find the airport using either the airport name (Vilnius Int.), the city name (Vilnius) or the airport ID (EYVI).
DISP L A Y SETTINGS
In order to change your scenery settings, go to Settings -> Display. All settings that are important to see this
scenery correctly are marked in red and need to be shown. All other settings are to your own liking. The settings
shown are for the FSX version of this project but you will find the same settings in FS2004.

Global texture resolution should be at Very high to get the full detail in textures.
Advanced animations has to set to ON.
We advise to keep Light bloom set to On will allow you to see the lighting in more detail and the low
demands on fps should make this setting possible.
We advise to keep Target frame rate set to Unlimited.
SCE N E RY SETTINGS
Mesh is important for this scenery. Set Mesh Complexity to 100 and Mesh resolution to 5 meters.
Texture resolution should be at 30 cm or less to get the best resolution of the aerial image under the 3D
objects.
Special effects details should be on High to see all the special animations.
For best results we recommend to set Autogen Density to dense. But keep in mind not all systems can
handle so many details!
Ground scenery shadows can be on or off depending on your own preference.

F.A.QS .
Q: Is this add-on DX10 compatible?
A: Apart from the standard issue with lights, yes.
Q: Is this add-on compatible with other add-ons in the area?
A: As far as we know yes.
Q: There seem to be issues with the airport lighting at day/night transitions. Is this normal?
A: No but it isn't curable. FSX sometimes has its own ways of switching day/night textures. If you face any texture
or scenery problems, open the scenery library and click OK (or use the "refresh scenery" shortcut) to reload
scenery and textures.
Q: AI aircraft are not shown.
A: Disable aircraft shadows and they will show.

and provides easy links to all manuals and charts. Installation starts automatically at the end of the installation of
the installation of the scenery. If it is already installed always select the update option.
Note that this product does NOT to be activated to run so you will see the Activation state always as ‘Undefined’.
CHARTS
You will find a full set of aviation charts with this product. These are provided by the Lithuanian Aviation
Authorities. It’s obvious these should never be used for real aviation! You can open the charts via the Aerosoft
