GSX PRO LETISTE PARDUBICE AIRPORT PROFILE

Pardubice Airport (Czech: Letiště Pardubice) (IATA: PED, ICAO: LKPD) is both military and civilian international airport in the city of Pardubice, Czech Republic. Apart from the military purpose, it is used for scheduled services, charter flights to Southern Europe during the summer season and cargo flights.

After the construction of a new terminal building, apron and ground handling facilities in 2017, Pardubice Airport opened up to serve more passengers and handle standard commercial aircraft such as Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 providing better and faster services. The new terminal building bears the name of Jan Kašpar, a Czech aviation pioneer. Airport's 2017 refurbishment and construction costed 256 million CZK and was fully funded by the Pardubice City Council and Pardubice Region through their shared subsidiary company East Bohemian Airport, a.s. that runs the airport.

Between 1950 and 1995, the airport was used only for the military. A 2,500 m long concrete runway was built and a pilot training centre established. The airport hosted the 4th and 18th Fighter Air Wings (4. stíhaci a 18. stíhací letecký pluk) equipped with S-199, MiG-15, C-2, C-5, C-11, MiG-19S, MiG-19PM, MiG-21F and Mi-1 helicopters, the 47th Reconnaissance Wing (47. průzkumný letecký pluk) with MiG-21R, Il-28L, Il-14 and later with Su-22 and since 1986 the 30th Strafer Wing (30. bitevní letecký pluk) with Su-25K. Large support military units were located next to the airport and in the city.

During the 1990s the military role of the airport gradually declined. Since 1994 the airport was used as a training base (34. základna školního letectva) but in 2003 the army reduced the role of the airport to provide maintenance and logistics.

In 1993 the company East Bohemian Airport a.s. aiming to open the airport for civil use was formed. Officially, the airport was opened for civil operation on 18 May 1995. Since 1 November 1996 the airport has been authorised for operation under the Instrument flight rules.

INSTRUCTIONAL DOWNLOAD INFORMATION

Thank you for downloading my Letiste Pardubice Airport Profile for GSX Pro.  This Profile was created using AC Scenery below: 

AC Scenery - Letiste Pardubice Airport Scenery

To install this GSX Pro Airport Profile into your sim all you need is 7-Zip, WinRar, or any type of zip/unzipping software.  Using either 7-Zip or WinRar will decompress the other without any problems.  Once the folder is decompressed you can then copy the .ini FILE inside the GSX Pro LKPD Letiste Pardubice Airport Folder named "lkpd-98tnqi.ini" into the folder below:

%Appdata%/virtuali/GSX/MSFS

To access this folder on your computer simply hold down your "Win" key whilst pressing the "R" key on your keyboard.  This will bring up a Command Line Run box where you can copy the above underlined text into it.  This will open your GSX Pro folder that stores where your DEFAULT Airport Profiles are kept, that's it!

Restart your sim - if you have it open, and once your Flight Simulator is up and running lookup "Pardubice Airport or LKPD" in your search box and choose the airport.  Now you are ready to activate the GSX Pro profile for this airport.

Once again you can find all my GSX Pro profiles for either Aircraft or Airport below (LINK):

I was given permission by UNITDEATH to add his Skin Mod to this Profile, as this Airport ONLY is serviced by Ryanair it seemed appropriate that the 3 smaller parking slots on the left-side of the Terminal Building be created by the aircraft I use in my GSX Pro ATR 42/72 600 Aircraft Profile.  The 4 Largest parking slots in front of the Terminal Building I used was my GSX Pro PMDG B737-800 Aircraft Profile.

Also, a special thank you from a request from Dr. Petr Brůna here on FlightSim.to for asking if I could provide a GSX Profile for this airport scenery, I hope you like it Doctor Brůna!

According to GSX Discord you should always do this in any GSX Pro Profile you are using.  Not just mine, but any profile that is created and downloaded here in FlightSim.to.  A good rule of thumb to always practice...

I have added additional scenery images to show the surrounding area outside of the airport property, very majestic and very picturesque all around!

**** SPECIAL ****

In Cooperation with other MOD Creators on FlightSim.to I would like to share a link that SELF-INSTALLS GSX Pro Airport Profiles directly into your "%APPDATA%\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS" Folder. The Application is Called "Drag&Drop Installer for GSX Pro Profiles", this impressive little App will take away any searches or finds that you will have to do to locate the folder necessary to copy your GSX Pro Airport Profiles into.  Created by Elevate Solutions, a collaboration between >>FatGingerHead<< and smatthew. Click >>HERE<< to access the link to the Drag & Drop Installer Application.  Please remember that this application ONLY works for GSX Pro Airport Profiles, NOT Aircrafts created with GSX Pro.

*** NOTE: *** 

ONLY FOR AIRCRAFT THAT DO NOT HAVE AN EFB TO CONTROL PASSENGER NUMBERS:
One of the things that help with immersion with ALL Simulator Aircraft are the payload settings, for you to get the most PAX on an aircraft when boarding and deboarding you need to set the payload settings in the sim for these aircraft between 30% - 100%.  You can save these settings by pressing "Save" and giving it a name or leaving the default name given to the file generated. If not done, the most you will see boarding and deboarding - in most aircraft that do not have an EFB to allow for Passengers, would be approximately 1 - 4 passengers.  With this setting set to 100% you will get the max PAX payload that the aircraft can accommodate. REMEMBER to do this, or your simulation immersion will be hindered to the lesser load of the aircraft.

You may or may not experience an alignment issue with your aircraft once you've picked a parking slot to start off in.  GSX Pro does not automatically put you into the parking slot that was created in the profile, it chooses the default spot that the developer created.  A way to compensate for this, according to the GSX Pro Discord mediators, before you start your simming experience activate the GSX Main Menu and choose  0 - Reposition Aircraft, then choose 1 - Reposition here at gate.  This will place your aircrafts front two bogies onto the created spot in GSX Pro.  Your alignment is now correct and your belt loaders, and stairs will line up with the PAX waypoint pathways that was created in GSX Pro.

**** IMPORTANT ****

When using this profile please make sure that the nose-wheel of the aircraft is always on top of the Parking Slot "Stop Here" line. If the aircraft is not on that line, then re-position the aircraft so that it is. You can do that by using the GSX Main Menu, choose 0 - Reposition aircraft and then choose 1 - Reposition here at current gate. Also, if that does not work you can always start from the runway and reposition the aircraft from there to the Parking Slot you want to relocate your aircraft to.
