ABOUT THE AIRPORT:
Half Moon Bay Airport was built in 1943 by Cal Trans for the U.S. Army Air Corp. Designed to be part of the coastal protection network during World War II, the airport was deeded to San Mateo County in 1950. Some time after, the airport was actually used by some airlines as an alternate to SFO. Today large aircraft (greater than 12,500 pounds) are prohibited without prior approval. For small aircraft, however, Half Moon Bay Airport is a beautiful link in the chain of GA Airports located along the California coastline.

ABOUT THE SCENERY:
This scenery is not accurate at all. It is strictly from my imagination. Working from limited resources, I came up with this rendition of Half Moon Bay. I did this because I wanted more GA airports to play around with. I became familiar with Half Moon Bay early on with FS and with other flight simulators who used California as their base of operations. I may consider adding on to this scenery later, but right now, just enjoy and have fun with this GA airport. Do not forget to download and install the required add-ons. Traffic Tools, AFCAD2, ASDv2.1 textures, along with Nova and Nova Gold textures. This time I also used some textures from NovaSim by Rafael Garcia Sanchez. You can get the textures from his web site www.fsnova.com. Look under "About Novasim". Click download to get the texture files.
There is one texture I used but I forgot where it came from, so I am including it in this download. It is the Chevron sign for the fuel depot tank.

INSTALLATION:
AFTER UNZIPPING THE FILE KHAF_V1.ZIP TO A TEMPORARY FOLDER, HOPEFULLY, YOU ARE READING THIS README FILE.
Download Lee Swordy's Traffic Tools v2x and AFCAD2. Follow the instructions from the files and install them onto your system. While you're at it, download the texture files and put them into the main FS texture folder.
Using the folders switch, unzip the file khaf_scen.zip to the drive where you have your FS. Using your file manager (Windows Explorer) check to make sure that all the files are in their proper folder.
C:\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files should have CA - Half Moon Bay FLT and WX files
Drive:\FS2004\Addon Scenery\scenery should have AF2_KHAF.bgl
Drive:\FS2004\Scenery\World\scenery should have TrafficHalfMoonBay.bgl
Drive:\fs2k4_scenery\KHAF\scenery should have the *.bgl scenery files
Drive:\FS2004\Texture should have the chevron.r8 texture
You should be ready to fly. Happy landings!
