This is an improved version of KBOS for FS5.1 designed by Yves
Trepanier.  This project was build on top of the New York Area 
default scenery.  The runways are not included in my BGL files 
and I have not included a synthetic floor.  No attempt was made to 
improve on the surrounding scenery.  My original intention was 
to add only taxiways and terminals.

INSTALLATION:

1.  Move the *.BGL files to your \FS51\...\KBOS\SCENERY directory

2.  Move all *.R8 files to your \FS51\...\KBOS\TEXTURE directory

3.  Other files include:
	KBOS.PCX	a general view of Boston Logan Intl Airport
	BOS_GT35.PCX	a Noble Air parked at Gate 35
	BOS_PHL1.STN	a situation file for FS5.1, at Gate 3.  Place 
			this one in your \FS51\PILOTS directory

4. In FS5.1 Scenery Library, KBOS may be installed after all 
   default sceneries and all CD-ROM entries.  I have not found any 
   conflict nor have I encountered any DATABASE ERROR.  Since the 
   airport resides within the default New York area, it has never sat
   above the default runways, which I borrowed in this project.

5. From the WORLD Airport directory, you will find KBOS under New
   York Area.  There, you will be able to place your aircraft at
   the end of one or the other runway.  I have also included
   additional positions under "Boston Logan" for each of the four
   respective gates.

The details of the scenery are as follows:

1. Boston Logan Airport is a busy hub on the East Coast of the 
   United States with four active runways.  As with many scenery
   designers, we often get tired of parking our planes on the grass
   of our favourite airports.  The initial purpose was to add
   taxiways and terminals. I have also included a KBOS landmark by
   way of the ATC twin tower structure which rises some 275 feet
   (85 meters) above the parking apron.  A low level night flight
   towards the ATC tower will allow to discover other features.

2. As I am a regular pilot of simulated Noble Airlines, Boston Hub,
   I needed to add more realism to my frequent departures and
   arrivals at Logan.  I am therefore dedicating this scenery file
   firstly to the Noble Air pilots and all frequent flyers to and
   from this airport.

3. Following intense negotiations with MassPort Authority, Noble
   Air have been able to negotiate a gates swap with Delta
   Airlines.  As a results, Noble has acquired gates 3, 11 and 15
   in Pier B of Terminal C.  Henceforth, all Noble flights will
   depart and arrive from these three gates, for which gate
   passerelles are provided, thanks to the courtesy and
   contribution of David Jarinko who kindly supplied the codes for
   their design.  With the help of Stuart White, I have since been 
   able to include texture files to show the Noble Leo Logo and gate 
   numbers.  Gate 35 (without the Noble Leo) has been added to Pier C 
   of Terminal C for all pilots of other airlines and non scheduled flights.

4. With such a large airport, I thought that simulated pilots would
   appreciate some guidance upon landing in order to lead their
   plane to the three Noble Air gates.  From the runway, take the
   first taxiway and proceed towards the main parking apron area.  Then
   just follow the yellow line and it will lead you to your arrival
   gate.  As in the RDU scenery, I have also included an alignment
   mechanism consisting of a green square in front of a red one. 
   Align both (left and right) and you will be on target for arrival 
   at the gate.  All gates are illuminated at night.  

5. The taxiways, buildings and the ATC twin tower are my own
   design, using BGLTOOLS from Hiroo Umeno, and the documentation
   provided by Olivier Briot.  I got assistance from many, and I am
   pleased to give them recognition, hoping I will not offend those I 
   may be omitting unwillingly:

   Miguel Hermanns      76642,2213      Scenery assistance
   Dave Jarinko         75301,1104      Design for Jet Gates
   John M. Keane        74647,274       Scenery assistance
   Dave Phipps          75212,1122      ILS for KBOS
   John Trindle         70303,3506      ILS's for KBOS    
   Stuart White         100351,3216     See below
   

6. Regular pilots, mainly from Europe will recognize the
   contribution from Stuart White.  He provided me with the radar
   (rotary), the GlidePath structures, and for those who will dare
   to look, the VOR building at Gardner - (GDM - 110.60), at 47.5
   miles north of KBOS, approximately 290d from Gate 3.  Stuart uses 
   SCASM as a compiler.

7. There are no NAV, VOR, ADF included, as they form part of FS5.1
   default New York area scenery provided by Microsoft.  However,
   ILS's are not provided by Microsoft.  Following an idea from David Phipps,
   I have included them (using BGLGEN by Enno Borgsteede and NAVUTIL 
   from Claus Munk) for your enjoyment and to help you in your final 
   approaches in hazy and foggy weather, which often happens in KBOS.  
   These are provided to you courtesy of John Trindle, who allowed to 
   use his codes, including OMIs.  Details are as follows:

   04R    I-BOS     110.30     36d
   22L    I-LQN     110.30    216d
   15R    I-MDC     110.70    151d
   33L    I-LIP     110.70    331d

Hirro Umenu         Designer of BGLCOMP, the Superb program which
                    allowed me to design a complete Boston Airport
                    scenery, ........... Thank you Hirro 
                        
Lionel W. Roberts   Noble Air Boston Hub Coordinator, for his
                    support and encouragement in  going ahead with
                    this project.

Robert Mariani      For his explanations about drawing taxiways.

David Jarinko,      Designer of Philadelphia Area and Raleigh-
                    Durham, N.C., for guiding me, a first time
                    scenery designer, when I got stuck. He also
                    kindly provided me with his design for the
                    gates passerelles included in this scenery.  
                    I later improved on them, adding the
                    texture files.

                                and FINALLY
