Airports featured:

1.  Greater Rockford Airport (RFD) located south of Rockford with ILS to
    runway 1 (formally runway 36) at frequency 109.3 and ATIS at 126.7.         
    Rockford VOR is 110.8.

2.  Cottonwood Airport located in Rockford on the west side.  Cottonwood   
    is a private airport with a grass strip, but I gave it a hard surface
    runway and taxi-ways.  The taxi-ways are only visible at night.

3.  Janesville/Rock County Airport (JVL) located north of Rockford between       
    Beloit and Janesville, WI.  Janesville VOR is 113.4.

Other features:

    Major shopping malls, Metro Center, News Tower, Faust Landmark Building,
    sum of the larger buildings downtown, East High School, Rock River,
    Pierce Lake at Rock Cut State Park north of Rockford, and most of the
    major streets of the area.  There are two blimps (one south of the
    Rockford Airport).  My house and garage is in Loves Park east of The
    Rock River.  Radio and T.V. towers.  There is a Learjet and an F-14
    Tomcat flying in and out of the Rockford Airport.  A Boeing 767 will
    fly into the Rockford Airport.  Also, a Cessna 310 is flying in and out
    of Cottonwood Airport.  Try following one.  Also, try following I-90
    east to Chicago.  Using the Default Scenery, you can see the yellow
    glow of Chicago from Rockford and Night!

I started with scenery disk #9, then used a large wall map of Rockford to help
lay-out the roads for this scenery enhancement.  I'm sure it is not completely
accurate, but most of it is close.  I did make one bridge crossing the river a
suspension type bridge, but it is a standard bridge in real life.

I used Mallard's Scenery Enhancement Editor (SEE4) to colorize the data for
time-of-day shading.  Be sure to check-it out at DAWN/DUSK AND NIGHT!  I used
SEE4 to add the ATIS and some signs and runway skid marks.  Also, included are
some MODE files for The Greater Rockford Airport and Cottonwood.
  
Changes made from V1.01:
    1. Changed all runway numbers at Greater Rockford Airport +10 deg.
    2. Added 1500 feet to the south end of runway 7 (formally runway 6)
    3. Removed the four timing gates from south-west of Rockford
    
I hope you enjoy your visit to the Greater Rockford Area!
