*** Big Cypress swamp airstrips ***
By James Belk


A package of 3 'bush-style' airstrips set in Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida - something of a rare destination for most FS2002 bush pilots. They're not to
be confused with the nearby 5600' paved runway owned by the Seminole Indian tribe: these are all just very rudimentary dirt or grass strips in the middle of a
swamp. Also a break from my usual difficult bush sceneries - there are no mountains to get in the way here, and the airstrips are all around 2000 feet in length - so
hey, no excuses! The airstrips do exist in reality, however based on recent satellite imagery I think they're now disused.
==========================================================


INSTALLATION:

1. Unzip & place the 'cypress' folder in 'c:\program files\microsoft games\fs2002\addon scenery' (or wherever you keep your extra sceneries, in my case simply c:\addon scenery).

2. Gerrish Gray's tree library (trees_v3.zip) is also required - install it using the author's enclosed instructions if you haven't previously done so.

3. Open up the Scenery Library in FS2002 and add in the new area, navigating to the directory path referred to in Step 1. (or edit the scenery.cfg file manually if desired).

4. As an option, Bob Brown's South Florida Landclass (sflorida.zip: 6kb) may be installed.
