Installation
------------
1.	Unzip this file archive into a temporary folder.
	You will find a folder called 'DM_EGCC_1975'
	Also a folder called 'scenery'
	Also a folder called 'texture'

2.	Copy the 'DM_EGCC_1975' folder to your 'Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery' folder.

3.	If you already have the EZ-Scenery libraries installed, move on to no 4.
	If not...
	Copy the files inside the 'scenery' folder into your 'Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\scenery' folder.
	Copy the files inside the 'texture' folder into your 'Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\texture' folder.
	If either ask if you want to overwrite files I would recommend saying no, although it's not likely to cause problems either way.

4.	Start FS2004 and go to the Settings/Scenery Library option on the opening screen.
	If you are currently flying, press Escape (Esc) and then End Flight to get to this screen. 
	Click the 'Add Area' button. Double click the 'Addon Scenery' folder and then Click the 'DM_EGCC_1975' folder once.
	Click OK.

5.	If you have any other addon scenery for EGCC, uncheck that scenery's Active box to inactivate all of it.

6.	Quit and restart FS. Go play.


I have only used a couple of cars & some clutter from the EZ-scenery libraries.
I apologise if this is not the correct way to distribute those bits.
You can alternatively download the EZ-Scenery libraries off the internet & install the lot yourself.
As far as I know, any other scenery objects that I did not create but have used are standard scenery objects that come with FS2004.
Namely 'Vehicles.bgl' & 'Generic.bgl'


Known issues
------------
At night, the spotlights are useless if there is any fog or haze.  This is out of my control, as it is all reliant upon standard FS2004 coding.
Also the default spotlight.bmp is just plain nasty looking.  I know that a lot of people have alternative versions of this file (Filname 'spotlight.bmp' in your 'Flight Simulator 9\Texture' folder). Some of these alternative textures are simply not suitable for scenery, giving the effect of elongated lines rather than spotlights.
I have provided some alternative spotlight files of my own in the folder 'DM_EGCC_1975\texture'. Files are:-
spotlight_DM1.bmp
spotlight_DM2.bmp
spotlight_DM3.bmp
spotlight_DM4.bmp

Totally optional, but if you are not happy with your spotlights you can rename any of these files 'spotlight.bmp' and copy it into your 'Flight Simulator 9\Texture' folder. Take a backup of the original version first.

The scenery files (.bgl) inside 'DM_EGCC_1975\scenery' are split up into different subjects.  If you are having frame rate problems the option is there to remove things like trees or fences etc.  The naming of the bgl files makes it pretty obvious which ones.
Likewise, if you hate the spotlights, remove them by getting rid of the file called 'DM_EGCC_SPOTLIGHTS.bgl'.
Usually it is better to rename the file, changing the '.bgl' to something like '.notbgl', so you can always rename it back whenever you like.

It has not been possible for me to fully remove the ILS beam for runway 06R (default airport). The beam has been disabled, but still appears on the map in FS. For that reason it has been angled away from the runway so it can not be confused with the proper ILS for runway 06.

The landclass around the airport is set by the file 'LC_047_013.bgl' and also some landclass excludes in the file 'DM_EGCC_EXC.Bgl'.
The AFCAD airport layout is in the file 'AF2_EGCC.bgl'
These are the only files having a name that is not pretty obvious.

This is not an FSX airport, although it certainly can work ok in FSX.
To use in FSX, the AFCAD needs to be converted to FSX format, which is apparently fairly straight forward.
There is a display problem with the trees in FSX.  May be best to remove the file 'DM_EGCC_TREES.bgl'.
Also the landclass coverage & texture (sand?) is not too great in FSX.
