as it will be officially labeled when it enters
operations in November 2008. NOTE: The new
runway's ILS and surrounding taxiways remain fictitious
as no information is yet available.
We are working on modified
approach procedures and we will post them here when the
modifications are complete.

KMSP field elevation and
terrain file for FS2004
KMSPFlatten.bgl
Installation: Please copy
this file to your ...\BluePrint Simulations\KMSP\Scenery
folder. Restart the simulator.
Note: The use of this
file with the default FS2004 elevation mesh will wipe
out most terrain elevation features at the south end of
the airport and will generate unreal steps with straight
edges. FS2004 only allows for rectangular flat
areas to be created and the terrain around KMSP has
significant elevation changes toward the south.
The use of this file with third party elevation meshes
for the KMSP area has not been tested and successful
results cannot be guaranteed.
Low Resolution Texture
Sets
The low resolution texture sets are intended to
improve performance in some computers. The
installation of the low resolution texture WILL
result in lower quality texturing and loss of detail for
some buildings in the scenery.
Please make sure that you
have installed the corresponding version of the scenery
before running the low resolution texture installer.
A detailed explanation of BluePrint's version codes is
given here.
KDAL v1.2.1 for FS2004
KDALv1.2.1LRTexFS9.msi
KDAL v1.2.2 for FSX
KDALv1.2.2LRTexFSX.msi
Low Resolution texture set
installation instructions:
-
Please make sure that
you have the corresponding version of the desired
scenery installed in your computer, either as a
result of a direct purchase or an upgrade.
-
Download the desired
low resolution texture set installer and save it in a folder of your choice.
-
Run the low resolution
texture set installer.
Note: The
low resolution texture
installers will permanently replace numerous
files created during the original installation. If
you want to return to the original high resolution version, please
follow these steps:
-
Uninstall the low
resolution textures
using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature in your
Windows Control Panel. (You may also uninstall
the upgrade by running the upgrade installer and
selecting the remove option.)
-
Run the original
installer and select the "Repair" option.
