~S~ mates. I'm planning on still making a Battle Of Britain campaign for CFS2. I recently downloaded the Battle Of Britain airfields and after installing them decided to put them into Mssion builder. Of course i had to place them in the Airbase.DAT folder first. After doing this correctly i opened up MB and created a test run. But when i start at one of those installed airfields it starts it about 1000ft away from the main complex. Any ideas? Do i need to do something else?

Hi Goose, like me, you seem to have a propensity for stumping the panel. I had the same issue.

This is “good news/bad news” time. The good news is, you can fix the problem.

If I recall correctly, hit Shift+Z to bring up the coordinates. Do this in the MB or in Free flight after selecting your runway. Be sure to write down the coordinates (all of the information) before starting your engine.

Next, taxi to the start of the runway and hit the brakes. Now, write down those coordinates.

THE BAD NEWS! Do the math! Add or subtract the difference to your original coordinates and place that information in the Airbase.dat. You may have to do this a repeatedly for each base.

Sorry I can’t give you any better way to do this but it’s the best I can come up with. Just to let you know, :I finally gave up on it. If you come up with anything…let me know. Europe is no fun when the bases don’t show up correctly.

It is most likely that you have two entries in your airbase.dat

This is due to the fact that all the CFS1 airfield entries were left in the airbase.dat file but not the actual airfield bgl's
If you check the list you will also have many more covering most the UK, France and Germany.
When Gary made the BoB scenery he put the airfields in the correct place not where M$ did in CFS2.

If you just added the entries to the bottom of the .dat file (as any sensible person would) you may have this problem.
Look towards the top of the .dat file and see if you have any other entries for your airfield. Remove this and I think all will be ok.

If not you will have to do as Engineer suggested.

Hope this helps
