## Overview

This is an MSFS 2024 scenery add-on that turns KXBW into a non-operational aircraft photo studio. The user loads the airport, chooses a parking spot whose label indicates a lighting arrangement, and captures screenshots. The README documents eleven arrangements and two studio sizes; source excerpts were unavailable, so links between individual scenery assets are not asserted.
