CFB Comox, British Columbia, Canada version 2 for FS2004 by Vern Opperman, (C) copyright December 2004
EVI04 version 2 38 Mesh landclass scenery for Vancouver Island by Harvey Jenszen
------------------------------------------------------------------
Please turn wordwrap on.
------------------------------------------------------------------
***NOTE 1. This scenery requires the "Gerrish's Trees Library" .. Trees_V3.zip available at www.SurClaro.com and www.SurClaro. This is a 'one time installation'. Once Gerrish's trees library have been installed it works for all scenery using his trees.
***NOTE 2. This scenery was designed and tested exclusively for FS2004.
***NOTE 3.This scenery can be installed with or without the AI traffic. I have included the CC-115 Buffalo and CP-140 Aurora AI aircraft, and some flight plans for them. If you plan to modify the AI traffic then you will need Lee Swordy's TTools version 2.2 and learn how to decompile, modify and re-compile Traffic_xx.bgl files. See the readme file in the AI Traffic folder for more information.

CFB Comox
~~~~~~~~~~~
19 Wing Comox is located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is home to 442 (Search & Rescue) Squadron,and 407 (Maritime Patrol) Squadron. In addition, the base also houses the Canadian Forces School of Search and Rescue, and supports cadet training at the Regional Cadet Gliding School (Pacific). The civilian terminal is the hub of air travel to this area.
442 (Search & Rescue) Squadron flies the CC115 Buffalo aircraft, and the CH149 Cormorant Helicopter (EH101). It is responsible for search and rescue in one of the most rugged and difficult flying areas in the world, from the BC-Washington border to the Arctic, and from the Rocky Mountains to 1200 km out into the Pacific.
407 (Maritime Patrol) Squadron flies the CP-140 Aurora aircraft (US P3). They carry out surveillance missions over the ocean looking for illegal fishing, drugs and pollution, and foreign submarines.
