INTRODUCTION

Requena is a small village not far from Valencia, the third largest city of Spain. It’s old (1400 years), calm and

very Spanish. The airfield of Requena is not small or quiet as it is actually a busy airfield that offers every

possible service expected from a airfield. It has flying schools that train pilots from many countries, but you

can also learn to paraglide or fly with an classic aircraft.

Requena is the first product in a line of products that cover the smaller airfields in Spain.

This product was made for an airshow held recently at Requena and parts of the proceeds will be donated to

the organisations of this airfield.

CONTACT SUPPORT

Support for this product is offered by Aerosoft. We prefer to have a support forum for the simple reason that it

is fast and efficient because customers help customers when we are sleeping:

http://www.forum.aerosoft.com

and we advise the Scenery section for any questions on this product. This should be your first stop for any

support. If you prefer support by email do accept that this could take a bit longer as it might be send from

persons to person and that email support in the weekends is always slow:

https://aerosoft.zendesk.com/anonymous_requests/new

We feel strongly about support. Buying one of our products gives you the right to waste our time with

questions you feel might be silly. They are not.

REMOVING THE SCENERY

Never remove the product manually, always used the control panel applet to do so. Failing to do so could

create serious problems. The actual name of the applet depends on the Windows version you have but on

most it can be found under “Uninstall or change a program”.

FINDING THE AIRPORT IN FS

You can find the airport in FS many ways, you can search in the name (Requena), the ICAO code (LERE) or city

(Requena). You can then select the active runway or any of the parking locations.

COVERAGE

This scenery covers the complete airport area and the immediate surroundings.

COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SCENERY

As far as we have tested this product is compatible with FsGlobal, UTX and FTX Global Base.

COMPATIBILITY WITH DX10 PREVIEW MODE

The scenery is compatible with the FSX DX10 Preview Mode but there can be slight artefacts. Keep in mind

that this mode is NOT documented by Microsoft and they have never offered any support for it.

FRANK, OUR AVATAR

If you are using PREPAR3D v3 you will be able to us Frank, our pilot, as the avatar (see the P3D v3

documentation about information on avatars). When selecting an aircraft you can also select the

avatar to be loaded. You can load Frank with any aircraft btw. He is able to stand idle (duh..), walk,

run, stand to crouch, walk while crouching, crouch to stand, jump, swim and fall, all using the default

P3D v3 commands. To spawn the avatar go to any external view and use the [shift]-[control]-[e]

command. You can then use the avatar to explore the scenery.

SETTINGS & FRAME RATES

We advice these setting for the best combination of looks and framerates.

DISPLAY SETTINGS

The Global texture setting needs to be on VERY HIGH, Advanced animations ON, the other settings are not

critical. As the scenery is rather light on frames Lens flare and Light bloom can be set on

SCENERY SETTINGS

This scenery will work best with the settings shown. If this hurts you FPS to much reduce level or detail radius

and Autogen density first.

TEXTURE RESOLUTION

Texture resolution need to be set to 2048x2048 or 4096x4096. This can be done in Prepar3D V3.3 using the

standard dialog screens.

For FSX:SP2 and FXS:STEAM this unfortunately means adapting the FSX.cfg. Here is how to find the file:

 FSX SP2 and FSX Acceleration in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

 FSX:STEAM: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE

or C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

or Steam\Steamapps\Common\FSX\Config (where Steam is your main Steam folder)

Now find texture_max_load=1024 and change that to texture_max_load=2048 or max_load=4096.

Unfortunately, FS will reset this back to 1024 every time the cfg is adapted. This is a limitation of the simulator,

not of the add-on.

CHARTS

The attached charts are provided by the local airport authorities. You can always find the latest version here:

PROCEDIMIENTOS ANTI-RUIDO

Las poblaciones de El Rebollar (especialmente) y Requena son las

más sensibles a la actividad de aeronaves en el Aeródromo de

Requena.

-LLEGADAS

Las aeronaves que llegan deben evitar volar aproximaciones largas

que sobrevuelen dichas poblaciones. En el caso de que no exista

tráfico y el piloto decida proceder al campo realizando una

aproximación larga se recomienda modificar ligeramente la trayectoria

para no sobrevolar dichas poblaciones y, así mismo, tanto por ruido

como por seguridad, volar una senda de planeo no demasiado plana.

Igualmente, el tramo de base derecha del circuito de la pista 30 se ha

de volar evitando El Rebollar. Es útil tomar como referencia el nudo

de la autopista situado al norte de El Rebollar para virar a base

derecha de la pista 30 antes de llegar a éste.

-SALIDAS

Es recomendable tanto por seguridad como por ruido el uso de las

velocidades de mejor ángulo de ascenso y mejor régimen.

Las aeronaves que despegan de la pista 12 deben evitar el sobrevuelo

de El Rebollar. Esto se puede conseguir, dependiendo del tráfico, bien

desviándose ligeramente a la izquierda del rumbo de pista, siguiendo

la autopista A3 y dejando la población a su derecha, o bien

desviándose ligeramente a la derecha del rumbo de pista (siempre con

altura suficiente) para dejar la población a su izquierda. En cualquier

caso es recomendable el uso de las velocidades que proporcionan el

mejor ángulo de ascenso y el mejor régimen.

Los despegues por la pista 30 no presentan tantos problemas,

simplemente requieren del piloto un buen régimen de subida y un

poco de vigilancia para no sobrevolar Requena.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

The towns of El Rebollar (especially) and Requena are the most

sensitive to aircraft’s activity at Requena aerodrome.

-ARRIVALS

Traffics arriving must avoid flying long approaches that overfly

those towns. In the event of no traffics on the pattern and in the

case the pilot decides to proceed to the field by a long approach,

it is recommended to slightly modify the path in order to not

overfly these towns, and likewise, both for safety and noise,

flying a glide slope not too flat. Also, the right base leg for

runway 30 must be flown avoiding El Rebollar. It’s useful to

take as a reference the highway junction located at north of El

Rebollar to turn to right base runway 30 at or before reaching

this highway junction.

-DEPARTURES

It is recommended for both, safety and noise, using speeds that

fit best angle and rate of climb

Aircrafts departing runway 12 must avoid overflying El

Rebollar. This can be achieved, depending on traffic, deviating

slightly to the left of runway heading, following A3 highway,

and leaving the town on the right, or deviating slightly to the

right of the runway heading (always with enough altitude) to

leave the town on the left. In any case, it is advisable using

speeds that fit best angle and rate of climb.

Departing traffics from runway 30 do not show many problems,

it is just required from the pilot a good rate of climb and a little

care to not overfly Requena
