Pending permission from Gary20, Kelticheart, and Kdriver, I will be releasing an update to the CFS2 BoB airfields, which will be used in both campaign projects that our team is still working on. This continues the process of "clearing out the drawer," getting all of these half-started projects completed and out the door in order to tackle new challenges.
One of the problems I am encountering with this is that some of the flattens need to be redone for these airfields.
You will enjoy enhanced scenery for Hornchurch, Croydon, Biggin Hill, Duxford, Middle Wallop, Hawkinge, Tangmere, Kenley, Gravesend, Ventnor, and Warmwell. These will be updated in the same manner as Oldenburg, in that all possible objects used will be included.
Good morning,
Here is an example of Tangmere. The two main things I have done is replace the trees with Lindsay Watt's generic trees and used the underground petrol tanks. I was thinking about changing the trees again, maybe some conifers and willow trees. Any suggestions?

Rami,
as to your tree question: use only the oldest generic trees from LW's library and sparse at that. They are Southern Hemisphere trees, in my still-up-in-air enhancement work I use almost exclusively BoB lib trees and Wolfi's hardwood forest patch 1. Wolfi's conifer forest patch is good in Northern UK and up in the mountains.
Later LW's tree libs are either framerate-heavy or too PTO looking.
I was fervently hoping Blood-Hawk would release his Gmax ETO tree library, but I do not think it'll happen anytime soon.
I had put all of the updates on hold because of this, as I already reviewed every single scenery for one new object or another at least four times and it's quite a time-consuming job. I was in the middle of replacing stock objects with Cees Donker's RAF building collection, Gmax-ed by Allen, when John announced his trees.
Put the project back on hold and I got involved with the Veltro and the Fiat CR.32.......One day the scenery project will be done. Sigh!
Have you got my last rendition of Gary20's Hawkinge, at least?
Cheers!

Stefano,
I actually am going to proceed with the willows and other generic trees. I agree about going heavy on Wolfi's trees; I just want to make sure that there is somewhat of a variety from time to time. Yes, I have Hawkinge, and I also have Hornchurch, Kenley, and Biggin Hill as well that you did.
) I will post some screenies this evening.

Andrew,
I don't remember if I sent you the Hawkinge *.lay, just in case here it is. In three versions:
- Gary20's Hawkinge alone
- your Dover port alone
- Gary20's Hawkinge + your Dover port
Due to the CFS2 quirk of deleting the last of two overlapping gobs, Dover and Hawkinge must be installed as a single scenery. Installing one after the other one will delete the last one. Mmmmmmm......nice pun....
If the old layouts of mine you have still feature LW's wooden watch towers, get rid of this object. I checked a while ago, RAF never built and used them in UK, while they were common in Luftwaffe airports.
I will send you all the updates I have, based upon WWII pictures and other sims I found on the net.
Cheers!
Stef
