Description: Glacier National Park Airstrip for Combat Flight Simulator 2
================================================== ==========

Overview
--------
This scenery is a completely fictional airstrip, and is to be used in conjunction with Orlando Sotomayor's MOST EXCELLENT "Glacier National Park" 30 Meter LOD 10 terrain mesh for Flight Simulator 2000 ("FCA30M10.bgl", which is also included in the archive).

Note that the actual airstrip's scenery is quite basic, as I simply created this airstrip to have a location to depart from and fly around Orlando Sotomayor's AWESOME looking terrain mesh scenery :)

Installation
------------
Unzip and activate the scenery in the usual way for Combat Flight Simulator 2. Optionally, add the airstrip to your "Airbase.dat" file (refer to the "Airbase.dat" section below).

Y'all are quite welcome :)

Like I said in my readme though, I didn't create the actual terrain mesh... only the little basic and crude CFS2 dirt airstrip <grin>. I manually added an NDB and a VOR for the airstrip to the SCASM source code as well :)

P.S. You can find Orlando Sotomayor's other excellent terrain meshes for FS2K (they will also function in CFS2) over at http://www.flightsim.com . Just do a file library search for "Sotomayor" (minus the quotes), and you'll find all of his stuff there.

Note though that all of his terrain mesh addons will not have a "Goto" entry in CFS2... you'll have to use use the actual longitude and latitude to start at any of them.
