Hi volunteers.
This is my first attempt to release a scenery for CFS2.
I have spent some time to research this and still have to investigate and use my own fiction.


Sylt-Westerland
===============
Sylt is the far northern island of Germany in the North Sea.
Today it is a High-Society Area and many rich cititizens of Hamburg spend their Weekends there, because it is just two hours in car away.
During WW2 the total island of Sylt was military area with no less than 4 (5?) airports on it.
Famous after the War when the Tommies collected german late war planes for further testflights on this airport, too before transferring them via the Netherlands to England.

The satellite-view is from todays airport, but you can still see the military background.
I have saved this as a 1024 Dxt3 with alpha-channel so it will smooth into the surrounding area.
It is nice from above but not that good as I thought when on the ramp due to the very large area covered by only one bmp.
I have "planted" some hedges and put some infrastructure to get a feeling of the runway`s direction when starting.

I like to have something to see, when cruising around an airbase.
Please give a feedback If you want more of these macro-aircraft or better not (or none)
I´m not sure either.

Helgoland-Duene
===============
As a "gift" I have put Helgoland Duene (Dune) into this package, because this is in Beta-status too.
Helgoland is a small island in the North-Sea some miles away from the coast.
There are in real two islands, a large red cliff and a smaller islands at Sea-level, called "Duene".
On this is the airport. If you want to visit the main "rock", you have to take the ferry.
I have just built the little island, because I have found no proper way yet to build the other.

Please note:
You can only start in the air there because the island is not modeled as hard surface(landclass) in CFS2,
 though it is at the right place some miles of the coast of germany.(It is just water there)
If anybody can help me to make a suitable landclass bgl, I would be rather happy!

Future plans:
=============
If I will find some time, I am still trying to built all Airfields in the Northern Part of Germany.
There are about 10 in total, which I already have begun.

enough words, get airborne,
