ZSPD Shanghai Pudong - FSLTL Static Aircraft (WF Scenery)

This mod utilizes FSLTL models to add realistic static aircraft at gates, ramps, and stands at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong airport by WF Scenery. It requires no injector, meaning zero FPS impact while providing the immersive look of populated terminals. It simply uses the FSLTL models as static scenery objects. 

The FSLTL base models pack must be installed for this static scenery to work! 

Features:
⁃ Designed specifically for WF Scenery's ZSPD Shanghai Pudong payware airport
⁃ Hand-placed assortment of static aircraft at gates and ramps, matching real-world airline operations at the airport. 
⁃ Realistic and accurate airline traffic ratios 
⁃ Airline placement reflects real-world terminal usage (Gate-level accuracy is approximate, not exact)
⁃ Absolutely zero impact on FPS as well as negligible size on disk (only a few kilobytes in size)

Important Compatibility Note: 
This static aircraft pack was built for the WF Scenery's ZSPD payware airport. It may work with other versions of ZSPD (default, freeware, or payware), but static aircraft placement will likely not align correctly and clipping into terminals or jetways may occur. For best results, only use this with WF Scenery's ZSPD. 

Requirements:
ZSPD Shanghai Pudong by WF Scenery https://www.fsaddoncompare.com/
FSLTL Base Models (installed via FBW installer) https://fslivetrafficliveries.com/

Installation:
1. Download the file and extract it.  
2. Place the 'zzz-ZSPD_FSLTL_Static' folder it in your MSFS 2020/2024 Community folder (I highly recommend using MSFS Addon Linker, especially if your community folder is really cluttered and you’re installing lots of static scenery packs)

To prevent traffic overlap and clipping, ensure your MSFS traffic settings are as below:
Flight Conditions --> Air Traffic set to "off"
General Options / Traffic tab -->
• Aircraft Traffic type set to "off"
• Ground Aircraft Density set to "0"

Spawning Tips:
⁃ Static aircraft are pure scenery objects and non-functional. They do not move, taxi, or connect to jetways.
⁃ Any gates/stands occupied by statics will be unavailable for user aircraft.
⁃ MSFS does not show gate occupancy on the world map, therefore you might inadvertently spawn into a static aircraft.
⁃ A README file is included, listing available gates for user spawning to avoid conflict. Alternatively, you can always use slew mode to reposition your aircraft after spawning in. 

Note on use of FSLTL injector with this scenery:
This pack is designed for use without the injector to maximize performance. This does however mean that there will be no live IFR moving aircraft. If you so wish, you can still use the FSLTL injector. If you do, ensure that “Additional Airline Parked Aircraft” and “Max Airline Parked Aircraft” are both set to 0 in FSLTL injector settings. This will reduce clipping between live and static aircraft, but still expect overlap if the injector places aircraft at already occupied gates. There’s currently no way around this.
