MASKRIDER FORMOSA AIRFIELDS RUNWAY ENTRY DATA:

To use the new MaskRider FORMOSA airstrips in CFS2 Mission Builder, you must make new runways entries in the airbases.dat file ( CFS2/INFO folder ).

1. Make backup of current airbases.dat file- located in your CFS2/INFO folder.

2. Using Wordpad, open your airbases.dat file

3. Copy the last runway entry in the file and past it one blank line below itself. Don't accidently over-write the End of File Marker ( the little square box thingy ) while doing so!

4. Make the runway.xxx the next number in sequence based on your current entries. Same goes for the id=xxxx number.

5. From the text below, choose the runways entry you wish to add, then copy and paste the runway name,  lat, lon, altitude and heading entries for runway you are adding into the runway entry you just pasted onto the end of you airbases.dat file. 
Repeat steps 2 - 5 for each runway entry you wish to add.

6. Save and close the airbases.dat file. You are set for MB
