Objects needed, you probably have most of these, but just to recap

"raf_gse.zip" by Paul Mitchell found at Flightsim

MAIW Global Scenery Library Objects (FS9) will be needed from the file library at https://militaryaiworks.com

Ive also used CalClassic object library's, found at Flightsim
FS2004 Classic Scenery Libraries version 4, its a 241.23 MB, if you dont want to install this, you can go without if you like,
it just adds a bit more atmosphere

Id also recommend installing Al Von Pingel's recent Ramstein scenery Firstly, its really great scenery but second, ive used some
objects by Kalle Busse from his KLB Static Objects Library used in ETAR

For Ai aircraft you'll need----
FS2004 English Electric Canberra by By John Young, Airfield Construction Group found at Flightsim
or
AI English Electric Canberra - Various AF (JYAI) By John Young found at MAIW

AI Gloster Javelin - Royal AF (JYAI) By John Young found at MAIW

Ive provided repaints for period in the aircraft needed folder. You'll have to add the repaints for the Canberra's and add the CFG entries ive provided
John Yound has already included 5sqd paints in his original package, you just need to add the CFG ive provided. Just back up the original and add mine

Thanks for another great Cold War base!

Where did you find the 151 Squadron skins for the Javelin? They're not in the MIAW download.

Where did you find the 151 Squadron skins for the Javelin? They're not in the MIAW download.

Not sure where you got 151 from, but all you need is the JY Jav installed and add the cfg i included in the package

 

[Mick]

There are two No.151 Squadron planes listed in your Javelin aircraft.cfg

title = JYAI Javelin FAW9 151Sqn 1 and title = JYAI Javelin FAW9 151Sqn 2

They aren't in the Javelin as downloaded from MIAW, so there are no texture folders (anywhere?) to dress those planes.

I see what ive done, i did some scenery for RAF Leuchars back in July with ai for 151 sqd Javs. It won't effect Laarbruch but if you dont have Leuchars yet, you can just drop in the included repaints with out changing the cfg.
If you or anyone else has Leuchars, using this 5 Sqdn repaint and cfg won't effect either scenery and both should work fine

[Mick]

I see! Thanks!

I have Leuchars but it's not installed yet. Between you and AVP I'm downloading new scenery faster than I have time to install it, so it doesn't always go into my FS in the order it's released.

 

[ian elliot]

no problem, If you install Leuchars after Laarbruch, just drop the repaints into the JY Jav folder, but dont touch the cfg, I just trying to structure my scenery similer to how AVP structures his
