Huon Gulf Scenery for CFS2 by UncleTgt
Updated 31-DEC-23 with replacement 44E gsl to eliminate occasional CTD problems reported
This is a reworking of the stock sceneries for the area at the E end of PNG, from Buna northwards as far as Finschhafen. It is designed for use with Rhumbas mesh, but the scenery excludes provided should mean this works well in a stock mesh install too.
This scenery builds on & extends the areas covered in my previous Solomon Sea, Milne Bay, Buna-Dobodura & Port Moresby-Kokoda sceneries, but it should work as a stand-alone scenery as well.
Contents:
New Ground2K scenery for each, including fringing reefs.
New airbase scenery, made using FSSC.
New gsl infrastructure.
New custom Landclass & Waterclass.
Some simple missions using the stock F4U-1A Corsair for viewing the gsl airbases & scenery
The base scenery is as developed through to mid-1943, & the base gsl reflects this.
Known conflicts:
Installing this scenery pack will require the archiving of some the airbases from Maskrider's Papua New Guinea scenery, & Dvslats Tsili-Tsile43 airbase.

PNG_Nadzab_GSL, PNG_Finschhafen_GSL & PNG_Wau_GSL bgls are replaced by new airstrips.
Dvslats Tsili-Tsili43 airbase is replaced by a new airstrip.
As I did with Solomons scenery, I decided this area needed separate airbase & gsl to cover the development of Nadzab & the completion of Dreger Field at Finschhafen.
Until the middle of 1943, apart from the established airdromes at Lae & Salamaua, much of the area was only covered by a myriad of small grass fields, mainly used pre-WW2 in support of the gold mining operations at Buluolo & Wau. So in this pack we have 3 options, each with their own airbase scenery layer:
HuonGulf - gsl & airbases suitable for pre-war until the middle of 1943
HuonGulf43L - gsl & airbases showing the development of Nadzab & Tsili-Tsili
HuonGulf44E - gsl & airbases showing further development around Nadzab, & the completion of the Finschhafen airstrip, Dreger Field.
You can move between date ranges simply by deactivating/activating the relevant date ranges in the usual manner through the Scenery Library. You only need to exit the sim to change the GSL.
