                        CYBL (2011) - Readme
                        ********************

CYBL (2011) for Microsoft Flight Simulators FS9 and FSX and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D portrays the Campbell River (British Columbia, Canada) Airport (CYBL) and surrounding area including the BC Forest Service tanker base. (Campbell River, a small city mid-way up the eastern shore of Vancouver Island, is the "salmon capital" of North America and the gateway to Desolation Sound, summer cruising grounds for thousands of yachts from across the Pacific Northwest. Hence, CYBL is host to a lot of visiting GA.)

Version 2.00 is visually identical to version 1.01 (even though quite different internally).  As well, to the extent possible, it is fully compatible with Prepar3Dv2.


1.	FEATURES

CYBL features:

* accurate placement of all buildings, runways and taxiways, and realistic taxiway and apron markings based on high-resolution aerial photos and actual airport drawings:
* accurate taxiway and apron signage,
* custom airfield lighting that places every runway, taxiway and approach light in its actual location, including approach lights mounted on towers,
* drive-through parking for AI,
* buildings and most other objects designed "from scratch" using GMax and "painted" with very efficient hand-drawn textures to represent their real-world counterparts as closely as reasonably possible (Many building details down to a size of less than 10 cm. (4") are modeled. Every significant structure on the airfield is included.)
* realistic apron illumination and illumination of other flood-lit areas for night-fliers,
low-FPS-impact, multi-LOD, ground-hugging perimeter fencing (8 high chain link with bent top, and
* a selection of static and AI aircraft painted in local liveries.

CYBL has recently completed a major runway extension and terminal upgrade - both of which are reflected in CYBL (2011).


2.	 COMPATIBILITY

CYBL is fully compatible (once the necessary compatibility files are configured) with:

  * Joel Gill's BC Roads (FS9 only)
  * ORBX FTX NA Blue USA Canada Pacific Northwest, 
  * Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska for FS9 and Ultimate Terrain X - Canada for FSX, and
  * FS genesis Vancouver Island mesh (FS9 only)


3.	INSTALLATION

Automatic Installation - CYBL (2011) includes an installer.  This installer is a Microsoft NET.Framework 3.5 application.  If NET.Framework is not already installed on your computer, the redistributable can be downloaded from the Microsoft website at no charge. 
 
If you are upgrading from an earlier installation of CYBL, the installer will save and re-load any AI traffic files it finds in the CYBL\scenery folder.

Installation of CYBL (2011) is performed as follows. 

(a)	Unzip the file CYBL_vnn.zip to a temporary older (folders option enabled). DO NOT UNZIP TO THE INSTALLATION FOLDER and DO NOT REMOVE ANY FILES FROM THE TEMPORARY FOLDER.

(b)	Run (double-click on) "Installer.exe" in the temporary folder.  An installation control dialog will appear.  (Vista users must have and, depending on circumstances, others may require, administrator privileges when running the installer.  If you need, but do not have, administrator privileges, the installer will complain when you attempt to install. To run the installer with administrator privileges, right-click on Installer.exe, select Run As  and select administrator.)

(c)	Select the installation parameters (details are included in the User Manual) and click Install button.  The installer will ask you to confirm the installation folders and compatibility selections, upon which it will install and configure CYBL (2011) accordingly.  If installation is to a folder containing an earlier version of CYBL, that earlier version will be overwritten. If you retain an earlier version of CYBL by installing CYBL (2011) to another folder, ensure only one of them is enabled at a time in your Scenery Library.

(d)	Should you change your mind about an installation option or wish to change the installation mode, simply select the desired new option(s) and click the Install button again.  When finished, close the dialog.  At your direction (checkbox), all the temporary files will be permanently deleted upon completion.  
 
For those users who need further instructions or who choose not to use the installer, a fuller installation installation procedure is detailed in the User Manual.


4. 	SCENERY LIBRARY
Include in your Scenery Library an enabled entry for the folder CYBL (2011)\CYBL. (The installer will do this for you.) 

The CYBL Scenery Library entry must be above (higher priority) those for BC Roads, Ultimate Terrain and ORBX FTX NW.  If you have other add-ons that affect the CYBL area, their position in the Scenery Library relative to CYBL will depend on what they do.  Please refer their documentation.  In general, unless they are intended to affect CYBL specifically, they should be of lower priority than, i.e., be below, CYBL. 


5.	SUPPORT
CYBL is freeware.  Hence, support will be limited.  Nonetheless, I would like to be made aware of any problems you discover in CYBL and will make reasonable effort to respond.  As well, I welcome your comments suggestions for improvements and, where warranted, your criticisms. 

The website http://stuff4fs.com is the primary mechanism for delivering support for CYBL.  Among other things, it documents known problems with the most current release and, where available, provides workarounds and patches.  Please check the site before reporting any problems or suggesting new features.

Finally, thanks to the airport administrative staff of the City of Campbell River for allowing me unrestricted access airside at CYBL and for providing airport drawings.
Enjoy,
