Raf Banff(Scotland) airfield scenery for CFS2.

This includes GSL scenery which will display in missions or free flight.

"RAF Banff was an operational Strike Wing base between 1943 and 1945. It was host mainly to Mosquitoes and Beaufighters.

The following are the Squadrons of RAF Banff Strike Wing Coastal Command 1943 -1945

143 sqdr Royal Air Force
144 sqdr Royal Air Force
235 sqdr Royal Air Force
248 sqdr Royal Air Force
333 sqdr Royal Norwegian Air Force
404 sqdr Royal Canadian Air Force
445 sqdr Royal Australian Air Force
489 sqdr Royal New Zealand Air Force"

When the squadron personnel arived at the newly built RAF Banff in 1943, there was an extreme shortage of toilet facilities, so included in the Daily Routine Orders was this:

"Airmen must refrain from urinating on the tailplanes of aircraft", as this was rusting the controls.


The following file is needed for the scenery to work:

GSL_RAF_Buildings.zip
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&page=info&FileID=4221



INSTALLATION:

1. Unpack all the files to a temporary folder.

2. Install the objects from GSL_RAF_Buildings.zip, the readme on how to install is in the GSL_RAF_Buildings.zip file.

3. Install the Raf Banff scenery, add the RAF Banff folder to the Combat Flight Simulator 2\SCENEDB folder, then install it from within CFS2, Settings - Scenery Library - Add Area.

4. Backup the cfs2.gsl file, which you can find in the Combat Flight Simulator 2\GSL folder.

5. In the Layout folder in this zip there is a file called GSLMan.zip, this is needed to add the objects to the scenery. Extract this and move it to the Combat Flight Simulator 2\GSL folder. Copy the banff1.gsl file to the same folder.

6. Double click on GSLMAn.exe then click add, then select the banff1.gsl file. Click the Exit button to finish.

7. The scenery objects have now been added. They will now be visible in user made missions or free flight.
