Manual Install
The following instructions will allow you to manually add Alfs Airfields to your chosen Flight Simulator.
1.Download the entire scenery collection:
2.Extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.
Two folders will be extracted:
a) Alfs Airfields – this is the complete collection of airfields
b) Static Objects Library – this is a collection of files that provide various files used throughout the scenery collection
3.Move the Static Objects Library folder to your Scenery Addon folder. If you already have a Static Objects Library, then overwrite the existing files.
4. Move the Alfs Airfields folder to a location of your choice; we recommend the root of the main C: drive.
5. You now need to manually add the airfields to the Flight Simulator Scenery Library. This is accomplished by editing the relevant scenery.cfg file:
Default locations of scenery.cfg file:
Simulator | scenery.cfg location |
FSX (orig. CD version) | C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX |
FSX Steam Edition | C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX |
P3D v2 | C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2 |
P3D v3 | C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 |
For compatibility we recommend installing ALL airfields and then disabling the airfields that duplicate existing addon airports/airfields.
We have preconfigured scenery.cfg extracts for you to download and paste into your scenery.cfg:
Your last scenery entry in scenery.cfg is likely to look something like the following:
[Area.117]
Title=Berlin
Local=Scenery\Cities\Berlin
Layer=117
Active=True
Required=True
Ensure that the numbers of scenery layers run consecutively; for example the next scenery area to be added should look like this:
[Area.118]
Title=<title>
Local=<scenery path>
Layer=118
Active=True
Required=False
