A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category Netwings Scenery
Description: This is a ground object package that was originally posted on the Netwings site. They were intended for stock CFS3 and/or CFS3 with Firepower ONLY. Nothing has been modified in any way and it is still in it's original *.zip file. Here is the README for full acknowledgement:
Antheor Viaduct for Combat Flight Simulator 3
This work is dedicated to bomb aimer Flt Lt. Bob Hay, killed by flak whilst marking the target in Lancaster 'P' Popsie. 13/2/45
This is a simple model of the Antheor railway Viaduct in Southern France which was the main supply route for the Axis forces trying to stop the Allied breakout from Anzio. 617 Sqdn tried on three occasions to destroy the viaduct but never succeeded.
For a brief description of the Dambusters and their raids see here:

Overview:
The mission is based on the account in the Paul Brickhill book 'The Dambusters', which is very well written and I thoroughly recommend it.
There are 2 missions included, one for Firepower users which also requires two extra downloads and a fictitious daylight mission using the stock B25C.
The 'Firepower' mission:
You will need ‘Firepower’ installed up to version 1.08, plus the Ground Crew searchlight and Flak pack and the Cookie & Flare bombloads by Mongoose, Fox and Preeze.
Cookies: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?loc=downloads&page=downloads&FileType=cfs3-weapons
Searchlights: http://www.groundcrewdesign.com/garage/flak.htm
The stock mission:
Purley fictitious and is included for those who do not have Firepower installed and/or are not compfortable with having to install the various extra files.
Installation:
From within the enclosed folders, copy the files into the corresponding folders in your main cfs3 directory. The usual path for this is;
C:\Microsoft games\Combat Flight Simulator 3.
eg. from the enclosed 'facilities' folder copy the file ACC_Antheor_Viaduct.xml into your C:\Microsoft games\Combat Flight Simulator 3\facilities folder.
NON FIREPOWER USERS - The install is the same except use the 'Antheor_Viaduct_daylight.xml' mission file included.
Do not install the mission ACC_617_Sqdn_Antheor_Viaduct.xml.
Destroying the bridge:
The model is made in 3 sections, only the centre spans are destroyable. If you find your bombs are inneffective you can alter the .xdp file for the
'ACC_Antheor_Viaduct_section' model. This can be edited using Notepad.
<BoxMap SystemID="pilot" Probability="50" Points="1000000"/>
Find the above line in the file and try Increasing the probability setting to 100 and decreasing the points to say10000 - check agaist the stock building files to get an idea of what’s required.(I set these values high to make it difficult!)
Credits
Thanks to the Ground Crew for the fabulous searchlights and to Mongoose, Fox and Preeze for the equally fabulous flares and cookie bombs.
Many thanks and appreciation to all those at the Outhouse forum and to Frosty, Gecko and Dave Boynton of the Airfield Construction Group for
their encouragement and support (and putting up with me!).
