CFS1 Scenery Editor

[Danlrey]

I found a download that gave a howto on accessing the CFS1 scenery editor in the game but I was unable to get it to work. Does anybody have a tried and true method on hoeto access this scenery editor?

 This is how i did it:
Edit with notepad the Combatfs.cfg file in your main combat flight simulator folder.
Add the following 2 lines to it
[LAYOUT_TOOL]  
Scenery_Edit_Enable=1

Note1: If you are a newbie and don't how to insert a new section/key inside the config file without breaking up the existing ones, just insert  those  2 lines at the top of the  Combatfs.cfg file. It will work fine.

Note2 : If you are not a newbie (like myself) to CFS scenery creation, then this is probably all you need to know.

Goto the Freeflight option of CFS  and select the location where you want to add some scenery.
Select the Scenery Editor Option on the World Menu.

the seenery layout tool of cfs1 does not work in fullscreen mode.press alt ,veiws,un check full screen.press alt again then world and then scenery editor should be on the drop down , it opens three undocked veiwing windows and you can place any objects that are in object library type .bgl  files be aware however that some librarys you can down load can have scaleing problems I ve seen some pretty humungous hangers also some objects do strange things when you set their headings other than zero.All the default objects work fine.If you Know this already
