Rwy12 ObjectPlacer Installation
=============================== 

1. General
==========

Rwy12 Object Placer v1.0 is a new FREEWARE program for placing static library objects in FS2004 in a simple and quick way. No need for scenery programming knowledge. Open FS2004 at the place you wish to add objects to (airport or just your neighborhood) shift to slew mode (Y).Open Rwy12 Object Placer, which is synchronized with FS2004, and chose your objects from a library that has about 300 objects in this first version. The program is open ended and we hope other scenery developers will add in the future their creations to the library.
 
System Requirements: Though we tested the program only with Windows XP (both Home and Professional editions), we believe it will work with other versions of the Microsoft Windows Operating System too, but we can’t guarantee that.

Rwy12 needs to install  FSUIPC.dll version 3.40 to your (X):\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\modules.  In case you have a registered and paid for version, please backup the relevant files before installation. After installation you can replace the files – if needed.

Create a Restore Point if you have WinXP on your machine

2. Installation
===============

1. When you open the zip file you will find in it 4 exe files;

Rwy12 Object Placer installer 15,456 kb

Rwy12 Library installer 2,652 kb

dotnetfix  23,698 kb (A Microsoft application needed for Rwy12 Object Placer to function)

msxml  5,166 kb (A Microsoft application needed for Rwy12 Object Placer to function)

Double click each and follow instructions

2. Copy FSUIPC.dll to your (X):\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\modules folder, If you are asked to replace an older version, do so.

3. Open FS9 and go to Setting\Scenery Library\Add Area , select Addon Scenery\Static Objects Library. click OK to add this new scenery and exit FS9. Next time you start the simulator the new scenery will be activated. (Static Objects Library is a virtual scenery where all the library objects and their textures are kept, without it Rwy12 will not function)

4. A program shortcut will appear on your desktop. The program icon itself is in start\Programs\Rwy12 Object Placer. The program folders (including a detailed tutorial) are in C:\ Rwy12 Object Placer

That's all, have fun!!!

3. AFCAD download (optional)
============================

We recommend to download an additional program, but it is not a must, namely AFCAD by Lee Swordy. This program will enable you to see, while in slew mode, where AI Traffic aircraft are parked or taxi, so you will not place objects on those spots. You can download the latest version of the program from avsim.com and flightsim.com (afcad221.zip)

4. Un-Installation
==================

Microsoft programs by returning to an earlier Restore Point

Rwy12 Objects Placer has an Uninstaller in Start\Programs

Delete the files Rwy12 created in (X):\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\addon scenery\Static Objects Library\scenery and \texture.

Delete or replace the FSUIPC file

4. Acknowledgments and thanks:

Special thanks go to Pete Dowson who allowed us to use his FSUIPC application, which establishes the link between FS 2004 and Rwy12 Object Placer. This application is a keystone for FS users and has much more in it over what we utilized. We included, in the Tutorial folder of Rwy12, the User Guide of FSUIPC ver 3.40 (in PDF format) for your convenience, so you can learn more about this utility.

To Discreet for making the freeware gmax program

To Lee Swordy for his AFCAD program,

and to Kevin Wynn for his Fed-Ex trucks.
