How to add airbases to you airbase list.

Here is How!

You need to go to My Computer/Local Disk C/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Combat Flight Simulator 2/INFO Folder/Look for a file call airbases.

Open it with notepad by clicking your mouse on the left side.

A window will show up with the word open with.

Two options will show up. Select the option thats says "Select a program from the List".

Click the one that says notepad.

A list of Airbases will showup.

This example is from my three last airbases listed on my TEST CSF2 copy airbase file. The last two entries
are two Italian entries that I want to add to my list of airbses.

[runway.597]
id=9397
name=PNG Gurney Strip taxi
base_lat=S10 18.44
base_lon=E150 20.08
base_alt=110
heading=210
allegiance=0
units_across=0
takeoff_start_pos=0,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=500,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0

[runway.598]
id=9398
name=QLD Horne Is
base_lat=S10* 35.03'
base_lon=E142* 17.98'
base_alt=1.00
heading=80
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=-400,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=500,0
landing_stop_pos=-50,0

[runway.599]
id=9399
name=NT Batchelor 26
base_lat=S13 02.46
base_lon=E131 01.42
base_alt=555
heading=264
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=-400,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=500,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0

ITALY South

[runway.xx]
id=8168
name=IT Foggia
base_lat=N41 26.20
base_lon=E15 34.46
base_alt=241
heading=160
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=100,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=550,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0
; NDB 722

[runway.xx]
id=8169
name=IT Gioia Del Colle
base_lat=N40 45.75
base_lon=E16 55.59
base_alt=1090
heading=170
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=100,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=550,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0
; NDB 718

What you need to do is to add them by following the sequence numbers in the runway and the id numbers from the previous airbase entry in your list.

[runway.597]

takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=550,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0
; NDB 722

[runway.601] HERE

landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=550,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0
; NDB 718

Thats it!

PS Remembe to follow the sequence exactly as in the previous airbase listing other wise it will not work. Also to place the little square box at the End of of you airbase list.

I hope I have been helpful

PS Remember you do need the sceneries that this bases come with for this Bases to show up properly

This post will allow you to have ready to use Landing points to over 600 Landing points and possible Airfield all over the World through your Mission Builder!

You need to install this package before you go installing the following information inside the Info folder EAWWII Scenery - 2006 Edition at
http://www.netwings.org/library/CFS2_Scenery/index-3.html

New Fraps program available at http://www.fraps.com/. The new version is the 2.9.1 version. It will allow you to easily take Screen Shots and 30sec movie. Perfect for a gun camera.

Open Fraps with a double click on the Fraps Icon on your Window display screen. Do not minimize it since its not necesary.

click on the word General. Click on run Fraps when Window starts.

Click on the word FPS and make a choice on what keyboard you want to chose to activate it when the Sim is beign use.

Click on the Movies and chose what keydial you want the chose to activate the Movie camera. I recommend to diactivate the Sound recorder since this will eatup much of you resources.

Do the the same for Screenshots and chose a Keydial to activate it.

Now start CFS2 and START TO RECORD.

Some times you will have to start CFS2 several times before it will activate it and start to record.

The best way to find out if its recording is by clicking on the Word FPS and enabeling the display that says Overlay Corner. Once you start the Sim you will see a display that will give the frame rate on you Sim while you fly. If it slows down the frame rate while you are trying to record your plane in flight then it should be working.

PS I hope this will help you!

How can I see what I have recorded?

Go to my Computer and click on it with your mouse.

Click on Local Disk

A Folder call Fraps should be located there.

Click on it

All your movies and Screen Shots should be there!

Thank you Tango_Romeo. I appreciate it very much!

Isoliti4gatti CFS2 and CFS3 has been off line for Months. The good news is that you can find all their Items and planes at http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&page=download.... You do need to become a member to bee able to down load the planes. This is one of the best collection of Italinan planes for this Sim .
