REQUIRES PREVIOUS INSTALL OF CYNS_v7_FS9 and recommended for use with CYNS_v7Mod_FS9 (also known as the 7.1 update). Enclosed files will need to be added manually, therefore will require some experience with manipulating files/folders. If anything is unclear, please feel free to contact me at bsturton@telusplanet.net

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This modification only adds parking lot lighting objects, however the overall effect turned out quite nice and enhances the scenery considerably. I've also included the raw macro files in case these might be of interest to anyone for use in their own freeware projects.

1) Open the original scenery at it's installed location within FS2004. Four folders will be present, as outlined below:

CYNS_CUSTOM_OBJECTS_FS9
CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01
CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_02
CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_03

At this stage, also open the enclosed folder "CYNS_v7_2Mod_FS9". Navigate to each folder "scenery" and "texture" found within.

2) Copy the three files contained within "scenery" and paste into the scenery folder within each of the folders "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01", "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01" and "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01". You will be prompted to overwrite one file, and may do so.

3) Copy the two files contained within "texture" and paste into the texture folder within each of the folders "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01", "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01" and "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01". You will again be prompted to overwrite files here, and may do so.

4) An optional texture update has also been included to rectify an issue discovered affecting how the oil tanks appear at night. This texture, named "001A_lm.bmp", may be added within the texture folder found within "CYNS_CUSTOM_OBJECTS_FS9". Ensure the new file overwrites the original.

5) Upon restarting FS2004, a message will appear indicating new scenery indexes are being built. Remember to ensure that "CYNS_CUSTOM_OBJECTS_FS9" is always enabled in the scenery library, and that only one of the three options "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_01", "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_02" or "CYNS_NORTHSTAR_FS9_CONFIG_03" are enabled at once.
