Hi to all,

   I would like to set up cfs2 for the European theatre, but not quite sure how to go about it.
   There are lots of good scenery to be had & I would like to take advantage of it.
    Will this require a dedicated install of cfs2  ?
Any help & advice would be greatly appreciated !

My tips on how improve European sceneries.

Europe

I installed McClelland UK sceneries.

1.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery3.htm

I added Ian Elliot London upgrade and Mathias CFS1 airbases o my European Theater.

2.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery8.htm

Then I added the European Coast line to my install.

3.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery11.htm

I also install the BOB selfinstall scenery by Gary Bums.

4.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery13.htm

I also went downloaded Simouthouse Europe Mesh at their backup site.

5. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/master_ftp/cfs2/cfs2-scenery/

You can either install Sim-outhouse or Netwings sceneries Mesh. They both are of very good quality. Its up to you.

Last but not least I recommend you down load McClelland European Scenery for CFS2. Its a must if you really want to improve this program sceneries up to grade. With his sceneries you will not only have Cities and forest but also roads.

You must install this European Texure upgrade. Its the best one in my humble opinion.

You get a cities upgrade right here in this Web. It will not make the cities look more real from 1000 feet and below but it make them look better from 1000Ft and above.

I hate CFS2 clouds. Thanks to our members there are some new clouds available as well.You can get the one from Sim-outhouse call Stiz Clouds or LW clouds. Its you choice. I have install them both in different install that I have. You also download a new Sun.

I forgot Stiz European Water. This is also a must.

Europe has neve looked so good in this program

You can also add Seasonal Texutures at Avsim.
They are call cfs2hw.cfs2sp,cfs2su,scfswi,and cfs2fa.Look for them through the search engine at AvSim.Warning you will have to do it Manualy, but its real easy and lots of fun once you figure it out.

This are Genenral upgrades. There are more specific area upgrades that are also available for you pleasure. 

I want to Thank this Website and the others like Netwings and Sim-ouhouse and all the Sceneries Developers and smaller Websites for Helping us enjoy this program with your talent. Without out your help this program would not have been the joy it is today.

PS my next post on this subject will be on the Pacific Theater.

On to the Pacific Theater.

I dont know how you went with OTTO james but you sure helped me .Thanks mate.Richard.

A seperate install helps to keep things more organized and it also means you can have more planes 

You can also make new install for this Thearters.

WOW!!

          Thanks for all the good info !
I did download some new splash screens & I believe that a seperate install would be a good  thing.
      If it isn't too complicated , do you just rename the two seperate installs & send a shortcut to the desk top ? That sounds too easy right ?
      You're right James , I hate cfs2 clouds also , but thanks to stiz there's a remedy for that .
      If there's an easy explanation to do this I sure would like to give it a try.
      Thank's again for you're willingness to share your  expertice & to help an old guy out !
      People like you make this a lot more than just a game on the computer !!

                                        Many Thanks & Happy Flyin !

Thank's Again stiz,

   Sounds easy enough.
When I get to the aircraft part  I 'll give you a  holler.
With my dandy dial up conn @ 26.4 , James has given me quite a list.
   I may have a birthday or 2 before I get it all done, heh heh.
   I love doing this, so it sounds like a good project.
Once again thanks to you both for your time & effort & also for the many downloads that just makes cfs2 better and better , I'm sure ther are MANY more than just myself that appreciate it.

                                             Thanks again guys !

James, I don't understand what you are talking about:

quote: "You just need to remember that every new Hangar still needs the stock planes to enable CFS2 to function properly."


I use ACMan in all of my installs and only the Pacific install has the stock planes.  None of my other installs use the stock planes and ACMan works just fine.  You certainly don't need to add the stock planes to every hanger you create.  That would be ridiculous.

CFS2 will function just fine without the stock planes installed as long as you know which files to modify to prevent the error message upon startup.
