IMPORTANT FTX NORTHERN ROCKIES COMPATIBILITY NOTICE
Installing this CEF4 Airdrie Airpark requires you to update your FTX Northern Rockies region with the
NRM.001 (or higher version) patch. Please visit http://fullterrain.com/support.html to get the latest NRM
patch.
This patch will ensure your airport elevations are correctly set, and all roads and traffic are correctly aligned. It
will also ensure the coastlines and shores are corrected from the default NRM levels.
Note: at the time of release of this airport the current NRM patch level was NRM.001
This version may now be numbered higher, so just install the latest NRM.XXX patch always.
To install the NRM patch
1. Run FTX Central and make sure your region is set to North America
2. Apply the NRM patch
Note: You don't need to apply the patch before installing these airports; it's quite safe to apply the patch after
you've installed them.
Welcome to CEF4 Airdrie Airpark!
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 4
Thank You!
ORBX would like to thank you for purchasing FTX CA CEF4 Airdrie Airpark (CEF4).
CEF4 Airdrie Airpark is the debut payware North American airport from developer Vlad Maly, whose previous
projects include CEN4 High River Municipal and CEJ4 Claresholm Industrial airports, all located in Canada,
Alberta.
Airdrie AB is a small thriving community located just 15 minutes north of Calgary city border and the Calgary
International Airport CYYC. This private airpark is another 4 kilometers west from the town. The scenery covers
about 23 square km area at 30 cm per pixel resolution. The aerial images were licensed from Valtus Inc.,
Calgary AB. Coverage includes the surrounding farms, acreages and oil wells.
On Saturdays and Sundays, during the warm Summer days, there is a party going on at the Airdrie Flying Club
clubhouse. Please make sure you attend! Further included in this package are several VFR enhancements. A
few minutes to the north west from the airpark near the town of Crossfield, and to the south between the
CEF4 and CYYC, there are two sour gas plants, already included in the NRM package. To these plants
illuminated smokestacks and refinery items were added.
Another major VFR addition is the Nose Hill Park, in the Calgary’s north west. This park was developed on a 60
cm per pixel licensed aerial imagery and enhanced with autogen trees. This is another favourite place in
Calgary to take a walk or a run. There are several families of coyotes living there as well, thus you have to
watch your surroundings closely should you be out for a stroll with your pet dog!
Calgary downtown was updated with a number of custom made skyscrapers as well as default FSX buildings,
updated Princess Island which is a favourite place for Calgarians to take a stroll or a jog and west from the
downtown core Westmount shopping plaza and condominium buildings were added to complete visually
correct skyline of the city. The Calgary skyline is clearly visible from the Airdrie Airpark.

History of the Airdrie Airport
Links
The Airdrie Airport A Brief History (1940 to 2005)
The original Airdrie airport was built early in 1940 as part of the Canada-wide British Commonwealth Air
Training Program (BCATP). Although not used as a primary base (like Calgary's Lincoln Park, Claresholm, De
Winton, Sheppard, Vulcan, Lethbridge or Medicine Hat), Airdrie served as a satellite airfield - designated as
the No. 1 Relief Landing Field for No. 3 SFTS in Calgary. Airdrie airfield helped alleviate congestion around
Calgary's Lincoln Park.
The Dominion Government purchased 640 acres of prairie farmland and immediately converted it into an
airport, complete with three runways forming a triangle (this kept the strong prairie winds from blowing no
more than 30 degrees off the centerline of any runway) and two large wooden hangars.
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 7
Cessna Cranes and Avro Ansons were the primary wartime users. (NLS)
In 1945, the war's end brought with it closure of Air Force flying in Airdrie. Then in 1948, Gordon Bowers
purchased the property from Crown Assets for the use of the wartime hangars and the runways fell into a
state of disuse. But even as the runways slowly deteriorated they continued to serve student pilots who were
now earning their civilian pilot's licenses in nearby Calgary. It also became a location for farmers to base their
planes and to load pesticide and chemical fertilizers.
Airdrie Mayor, Frank Young, ran a spray business with Tiger Moths in the 1950s.
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 8
By 1957 the abandoned runways were being used as a racetrack for sports car and motorcycle races. Twenty
acres of airfield property was purchased by Don Southerland, who converted the RCAF hangars and offices
into commercial facilities, specifically for the fabrication of prefabricated trailers for the construction and oil
industries and the airport remained destitute.
In 1969, Tom Conroy purchased the remaining airport and soon introduced a flying club (known as the Airdrie
Country Club of the Air) and fuel services. The Conroy's contributions turned Airdrie airport into a friendly
base for area pilots. Among the dozens of tenants were the Conroy's own vintage Harvard trainers. These
bright yellow planes had served with the RCAF and with members of the Conroy family at the controls,
performed aerobatics at numerous local air shows and aviation gatherings.
Tom Conroy passed away in 1979, but his family continued to operate the airport until 1998 when the
property was sold to its current owners - Airdrie Airpark Inc. It was soon indicated that a housing
development was planned for the southwest corner of the property, new facilities for aviation related
businesses were to be built, along with a new 5,000 foot long paved runway. The new runway was completed
and operational in 2002.
Today, the Airdrie airport remains a haven for local pilots. Year-round maintenance is offered, allowing planes
to flying at night and during Alberta's winter months and fuel services were reintroduced in the summer of
2005. It's a jewel to the Rocky View community.

Welcome to the
Airdrie Flying Club COPA Flight 134
Links
Formerly known as the Airdrie Country Club of the Air (ACCOTA), the Airdrie Flying Club (AFC) continues to set
its sights at increasing awareness within the community about general aviation and the local airport. Located a
short 20 km northeast of the busy Alberta city of Calgary, the growing city of Airdrie is home to dozens of
pilots and mechanics, with an aviation heritage dating back more than 60 years.
Founded in the 1970s by a dozen local flyers, ACCOTA quickly grew into an active group. By mid-decade
membership exceeded three dozen pilots and planes, and the club was respected throughout the province.
However by the middle of the 1980s, the number of light aircraft in the Calgary area had begun to decline and
eventually ACCOTA ceased its regular, public activities.
In the spring of 2005 a small group of pilots decided to reform the club, renewed its status as an active COPA
chapter (Flight 134) and open membership to the public. Two years later the club elected to adopt the name
Airdrie Flying Club (AFC) as a means to better identify itself within the community. Today the AFC is active in
local aviation events, is organizing events to promote flying, introducing children to flight through the Young
Eagles program and promoting the airport through the best means possible - safe, continuous use.
There's only one requirement for membership. You must have an interest in aviation. Membership is open to
everyone and promoted for users of the Airdrie Airpark as we act as a unified voice for the airport tenants and
as a focal point for information from the airpark owners. Meetings are held at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of
the month at the AFC club house. People without airport access are asked to park outside the gates and walk
to the club house.
For more information on the Airdrie Flying Club, our activities or membership please contact us by using the
links on the contact us page.

Miscellaneous information
If you're visiting by air, local businesses can help arrange or provide transportation for you and your
passengers. The airport is 4km (2.5SM) east of the town, so we don't recommend walking.
On approach to runway 12 (short final), there are obstacles in the adjacent field known to cause optical
illusions.
NORDO and ultralight aircraft occasionally use the airport, as well as the two local helicopter companies.
Please be aware that you might not be alone in the circuit.

installer application ORBXFTXCEF4100.exe
2 Run ORBXFTXCEF4100.exe
3 Fill in the Order Number, Date and Key when requested. This information would have been
emailed to you when you purchased the download version of CEF4 from FSS.
4 The wrapper will unwrap the ORBX installer which will then run and present the opening
installation screen. Please acknowledge the EULA page and continue. You cannot choose a
destination folder, since all ORBX products are installed into the ORBX folder in the FSX
folder
5 Once the ORBX installer has completed, start FSX and choose CEF4 as your starting location
ORBX RESELLER DVD EDITION
STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1 Insert the CEF4 DVD into your computer's DVD drive. If you have autorun enabled, the
installer will start automatically, or prompt you to run Setup_CEF4.exe
If you don't have autorun enabled, please use Windows Explorer to open the DVD contents
then run the Setup_CEF4.exe application
2 The ORBX installer which will then run and present the opening installation screen. Please
acknowledge the EULA page and continue. You cannot choose a destination folder, since all
ORBX products are installed into the ORBX folder in the FSX folder
3 Once the ORBX installer has completed, start FSX and choose CEF4 as your starting location
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 17
Manual Scenery Library Configuration
If you do NOT have ORBX FTX installed you can still use this scenery by manually adding the scenery library
entry from within Flight Simulator X.
Here's the steps required to configure the scenery library.
1. Run Flight Simulator X, then select Settings | Scenery Library
2. Click on the Add Area button
3. A folder browser window will pop up.
4. Navigate to the ORBX \ FTX_NA folder
5. Now select the FTXAA_CEF4 folder and click OK
6. You will then see two folders displayed, Scenery and Texture. Now click OK*
*(Note: If you're using Windows 7, click anywhere in the white portion of the folder browser screen that shows
the Scenery and Texture folder, not the OK button - there's a bug with FSX under Windows 7)
7. You will now be taken back to the Scenery Library list of scenery added, and the airport will now be
displayed at the top of the list.
You can now load up a flight at the airport using the "Free Flight" menu.

The CEF4 Control Panel
After CEF4 is installed, a Control Panel icon is placed onto your Windows desktop. You can also use FTX
Central to access the CEF4 Control Panel from the main FTX Central interface.
The Control Panel will enable you to disable or enable certain scenery features of the airport to allow it to
perform in accordance with the PC hardware you have. By default, all scenery options are enabled by the
installer. If you have a high end PC, enable all the CP options. You can also disable the NatureFlow Animations
here.
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 21
To disable or enable any feature, simply select it from the list for a brief description of what it is. To disable an
item, simply click the tickbox. Any changes are made instantly and there is no ‘Apply’ button required.
You may click on each item’s description in the list to see the explanation, and this does not trigger the on/off
switchbox. This will allow you to consider which items to disable.
Quick Reference FSX Settings
The table below lists in a handy reference the minimum recommended settings required in FSX to enjoy CEF4
the way ORBX designed it. These settings run well on most PCs and take particular advantage of the custom
mesh and photo-real imagery used in the scenery area.
If you use the settings below you will enjoy a high fidelity experience and good performance.
Setting Value Why?
Level of detail radius Large Reduces blurring of textures
Global Texture Resolution Max Best displays photoreal textures
Mesh Complexity 100 Better terrain definition
Mesh Resolution 5m 5m is required for this airport scenery
Texture Resolution 15cm You may set to 7cm if you want the sharpest road textures, but
set this to 15cm if you experience micro stutters
Scenery Complexity Extremely
Dense
How ORBX designed CEF4
Autogen Density Normal-
Dense Best FPS versus detail More discussion on this on page 17
regarding setting this slider according to your PC specs
Aircraft AI Traffic 16% + Recommend for the GA AI traffic coded at CEF4
Road Vehicles 16% No need to set higher for CEF4
Leisure Boats 1-16% Keep leisure boats below 50% to avoid micro-stutters

Recommended FSX Slider Settings
Firstly, like default FSX, dragging all your sliders to the right even with today’s modern hardware, will for most
people result in very poor visuals and performance. We suggest that you begin your exploration of CEF4 using
the slider settings shown below, and then if you find performance to be acceptable, you can move certain
sliders to the right, although we recommend you only move one slider at a time to gauge the effect.
The most critical slider in FSX is the Autogen Density slider. With the way CEF4 has been designed, it has the
single most critical performance effect in the simulator. We'll discuss the best settings for this slider later.
So before you begin your first flight, please change your FSX sliders to what is shown on the following pages.
You may think the settings are too low at first, but we're calling these the CEF4 BASE SETTINGS which is the
recommended settings for medium spec PCs.
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 23
* Please refer to the Autogen Density Table further in this User guide for specific information about this slider
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 24
ORBX FTX CEF4 Airdrie Airpark Version 1.0 User Guide – February 2013 Page 25
The Autogen Density Slider
Because FTX uses much denser, more accurately placed autogen objects in its annotation, having it set to
Extremely Dense in large cities like Vancouver, Seattle or Portland will bring even the most powerful PC to its
knees. We won't mince our words - FTX is not designed to give you a 60FPS experience with all sliders maxed.
The key thing to remember is that CEF4 is designed to be used both today and in the future, meaning that we
did not cripple the product on release to cater for a broad range of PCs, but rather created a standard which
will be enjoyed by most people as hardware catches up.
Here's a simple table which should be used as a guide for the Autogen Density slider. This has been indexed
to PCs as at January 2011, which means this table will become dated rather quickly. We expect the 'Extreme'
spec PC to be the Entry Level by mid 2012, so of course as FSX gets older, your PCs are likely to get faster.
That said, if you adhere to these slider settings in CEF4 you will get a good balance between visuals and
performance.
