                        CYXX (2012) Readme
                        ******************

CYXX for Microsoft Flight Simulators FS9 and FSX and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D portrays the Abbotsford (British Columbia, Canada) Airport (CYXX) and surrounding area.


1.	FEATURES

CYXX features:

* an airport definition (AFCAD) based on high-resolution aerial photos that:
   * accurately places all runways and taxiways,
   * displays realistic taxiway and apron markings,
   * drive-through parking for all AI,
 
* custom airfield lighting (future),

* accurate taxiway and apron signage,

* low-FPS-impact, multi-LOD, ground-hugging perimeter fencing (8 high chain link with bent top (future), and

* a selection of static aircraft and operating AI.



2.	 COMPATIBILITY

CYXX 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,
  * Jon Patch's and Holger Sandmann's Vancouver Plus (both V1.1 for FS9 and V3 for FSX) 
  * 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 - CYXX (2012) 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 CYXX, the installer will save and re-load any AI traffic files it finds in the CYXX\scenery folder.

Installation of CYXX (2012) is performed as follows. 

(a)	Unzip the file CYXX_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 CYXX (2012) accordingly.  If installation is to a folder containing an earlier version of CYXX, that earlier version will be overwritten. If you retain an earlier version of CYXX by installing CYXX (2012) 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 CYXX (2012)\CYXX. (The installer will do this for you.) 

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


5.	SUPPORT

CYXX is freeware.  Hence, support will be limited.  Nonetheless, I would like to be made aware of any problems you discover in CYXX 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 CYXX.  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.
