BATTLE OF MIDWAY
AND BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA SCENERY
by Yanco
These scenery files have no actual connection with
MAAM-SIM, but I am placing this set of files here because
it is such a perfect companion for the TBF/TBM Avenger. Calling it a
"scenery" is in itself doing the creation a disservice, as it is more of a
complete FS experience than anything I have every encountered before.
Look at the screenshots, most by the author, Yanco, taken from the downloads.
The ones featuring the Avenger, are the only exceptions...
There are five zips that make up this epic creation
housed at "Yanko's Toy Box".

INSTALLATION:
Install the five archives in the order, above. In each case, dump
the folders Addon Scenery,
Aircraft, and Effects folders, only
into the main FS9 directory. Allow files to be overwritten as you go.
After all this is done, activate the sceneries in the FS9 Scenery Library.
There will be just three sceneries to activate: MIDWAY-flaten, MIDWAY-J,
and MIDWAY_A. Make sure the "flaten" is a lower number (higher on
the scenery area priority list) than the others.
CARRIER OPERATIONS:
You can make arrested landings on all of the American and Japanese carriers with
the Carrier Operations Package, as installed in the Avenger. Here is
a dsd_arrester_zone.ini file including
all the carriers for both battles, as well as the USS Langley off Okinawa and in
the Puget Sound. There are no catapults on the battle fleets, and
you will need to adjust the weather to incorporate an appropriate headwind.
SETTINGS: You can
witness, or take part in the different phases of these two great battles by
setting the time of day. You need not set the date. Refer to the
readme's for the schedules of takeoffs, landings, and attacks. To
see everything, you will need to set your Scenery Complexity to at least Very
Dense. Also, remember to turn on your Traffic. To avoid
some peculiar, unwanted effects, turn off the Aircraft Shadows.
LOCATION:
Both Fleets at the Battle of Midway can be found in the Go To Airport Menu under
United States - Midway Islands.
The American Fleet at Coral Sea is listed under Australia - Coral Sea.
The Japanese Fleet at Coral Sea is under Papua New Guinea - Coral Sea.
I think you will find these amazing "sceneries" the
perfect setting to fly your new Avengers. I also want to express our
admiration for what Yanko San has accomplished. I can only imagine
how many hours went into the creation of this monumental freeware masterpiece!
