== Instalation ==
Download the area you are interested in (or all of them!) and uncompress the file in a local directory. The best option is using a separate directory for each area. For example, under Windows, ''My Documents\Games\IBE01'', ''My Documents\Games\IBE02''..., under Linux ''$HOME/Documents/IBE/IBE01'', ''$HOME/Documents/IBE/IBE02''... and so on. Then, add these directories to the first tab of the simulator launcher, section ''FG_SCENERY''. If you use a terrasync directory, move the terrasync directory to the last position on the list.

== Improved and new airports ==
== Improved and new airports ==
Dozens of airports have been modeled using specific buildings. This includes large international airports, such as Madrid (LEMD) and Barcelona (LEBL), medium-size regional airports such as Reus (LERS) or Cordoba (LEBA), small airfields for general aviation such as San Luis (LESL) or Cerdanya (LECD) and tiny airfields for ultralight aircrafts, such as Alfés (LEAT)


All airports haven been compiled using v850 of the database. This means that the taxiways of most airports are hugely improved over the current scenery available from terrasync, which uses v810 of the airport data. Unfortunately, FlightGear still uses v810 to calculate positions and navaids, and hence some of the airports will be apparently displaced up to a hundred meters. We are still doing our best to fix this, but aircrafts and buildings may still appear in wrong positions after selecting some small airports.

The next map shows the improved airports in the scenery: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200770868570711495874.0004dc0d380de0bb19925&msa=0 All these airports include custom buildings, some of them have enhanced runways and a few are completely new. The airports that are not in this map but are included in v850 of apt.dat are also compiled, but they do not include buildings. Most of the new buildings are not yet uploaded to terrasync since it still uses the old positions and elevations from v810. Some of the new starting positions are already included in the scenery files.
