     Information following is for users of ATP/ATPUTIL/SCENEDIT who would 
   like to update their ATP scenery for the Rocky Mountain world as it will 
     be in March 1994 or April 1994 or May 1994 -- or whenever the Denver 
             International Airport actually becomes operational.

There are a total of five new runways, three north/south, two east/west. 
They're all the same size: 12,000' long, 150' wide.  Using Simon Hradecky's 
SCENEDIT program, you can establish these runways in ATP scenery containing 
the Denver area.  Runway elements are:

  Runway     Mag.Dir.    Latitude    Longitude    Elev.*
--------------------------------------------------------

17L - 35R  170^ - 350^  39^ 50.8'N  104^ 38.1'W   5346'

For the record, the control tower is located at:

There are two ILSs for each of the five runways, one in each direction, 10 in 
all.  All 10 provide DME information.  Glide slope is 3^ for all ILSs.

NOTE:  If you are modifying ATP Default scenery to include the DIA ILSs, there
are two problems and a corollary:

   1. There is a frequency conflict between one of the current ILSs at Stapleton
      and two of the new ILSs at DIA.  The frequency of ILS IHMX at Stapleton, 
      runway 17L, in ATP default scenery, is 111.1 mhz.  This is the same 
      frequency as IOUF and ILTT at DIA, runways 34 and 16.  The correct IHMX
      frequency, as of right now, is 109.3.

      SOLUTION:  Change frequency of IHMX in ATP Default scenery from 111.1 to 
      109.3.  Frequency of IHMX in USA West repeat USA West scenery (not ATP 
      Default scenery) is correct: 109.3.

   2. The frequency of the ILS on 08R at Stapleton (IGQW), in ATP Default 
      scenery, is 111.5.  The correct real-world IGQW frequency is 110.3.
      
      SOLUTION:  Change frequency of IGQW from 111.5 to 110.3.  Although there 
      is no current frequency conflict between IGQW and any DIA ILS, current 
      approach plates give the frequency of IGQW as 110.3.  As you update your 
      enroute and terminal charts, might as well stay in step with current 
      events.  In USA West, frequency of IGQW is correct: 110.3.

  3.  Corollary consists of two other potential conflicts:

      > After the IHMX and IGQW changes are made, 17L IHMX (109.3) will dupli-
        cate the frequency of the IRRV ILS at Stapleton -- same runway, 
        opposite direction.  

        SOLUTION:  Give the SCENEDIT "Presence of ILS", the runway you want to 
        select as primary, a "Left", or "Left or Right" designation.  Give the 
        other ILS, same runway, but opposite direction, a "Reciprocal" desig-
        nation.

      > Same problem with Stapleton's IGQW, on 8R, after you change its 
        frequency to 110.3.  This will be same frequency as IDEN, opposite 
        direction, same runway.  

        SOLUTION:  Designate one as "Left" or "Left or Right", the other 
        "Reciprocal", in the "Presence of ILS" block of SCENEDIT's ILS Edit 
        block.  Which is which is your option.  You don't even have to clear 
        it with FAA.

Airport will have three VORs: Denver (DEN), Mile High (DVV), and Falcon (FQF).  
They're oriented in a roughly north-south line.  Two (DVV and DEN) are within 
airport boundaries.  FQF is 11 miles SSE of the new ARP (airport reference 
point).  They will be used to sequence traffic into parallel and simultaneous 
tracks for simultaneous landings on parallel runways.  

For arrivals, there are four Gates (NE, SE, SW, NW).  Each Gate has two STARs.  
Each STAR has at least two transitions. Simultaneous approaches are authorized 
for runways in four groups: 
    
    (1) 34, 35R, and 35L 
    (2) 7 and 8 
    (3) 16, 17R, and 17L 
    (4) 25 and 26.

Summary:  Three simultaneous approaches are authorized for north or south 
landings.  Landing east or west, two simultaneous approaches can be made.  

SIDs are grouped in four sectors also: N, E, S, W plus a radar vectors SID.  
Each sector has at least two SIDs, each SID has at least two transitions, etc.

VORs are:
                                                        North
ID     Name      Freq.       Lat.      Long.     Alt. Deviation
---------------------------------------------------------------
DEN  Denver    117.9 mhz  39^48.8'N  104^39.6'W  5225  20.5329
DVV  Mile High 114.7 mhz  39^53.7'N  104^37.5'W  5280  20.5329
FQF  Falcon    116.3 mhz  39^41.4'N  104^37.3'W  5293  20.5329

All are high altitude VORs.

That's about it.  You can make the changes outlined above but you'll have to 
decide how to handle the new DEN VOR.  It's the only ID which duplicates a 
current ID.  The current DEN, 117.0, at Stapleton, will be replaced by the new 
DEN, 117.9, at the new airport.  There is no frequency conflict, just an ID 
conflict.  

One way to handle it is to go ahead, set up the new airport including ILSs, 
DVV and FQF.  USA West contains DVV and FQF; ATP Default does not.  Both 
contain DEN but at the current location, of course.  So, when you obtain copies 
of new enroute and approach charts, change the location of DEN, use ATPUTIL 
to change affected nodes and airways.  Nothing to prevent you using the new
facilities for practice until that time.  A more complete discussion of this
subject is in DENNEW.TXT under the "Installing VORs" heading.

The other problem is "Where are the procedures?"  The above information came 
from Jeppeson charts and plates.  Contact the supplier of your current set of 
procedures and enroute charts.  They're all aware of these changes and must 
either publish them or consider another line of work.

If you're familiar with SCENEDIT/ATPUTIL, you can stop here, make the above
changes to scenery files and you've built an airport in a couple of hours which 
required about three years and several billion of $ in real life -- one of the 
advantages of simulation.  

If you're not quite sure about how SCENEDIT/ATPUTIL work individually and 
collectively, go to the file DENNEW.TXT.  It contains step-by-step suggestions 
for setting up the new runways, lighting, markings, ILSs, VORs.
