Please turn word wrap on.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Cranbrook is located in the southeast corner of British Columbia between the Rocky Mountains to the east, and the Purcell Mountains to the west. The area is know as the East Kootenays and is a popular tourist area for those liking the outdoors. In summer there is a multitude of places within an hour drive for such recreational activities as fishing, hiking, rafting and of course, lots of beautiful golf courses. In winter there is two excellent ski facilities close by with both downhill and cross-country skiing.
Cranbrook is serviced by Pacific Coastal Airlines and Air Canada Jazz (formally AirBC) from Vancouver, and Central Mountain Air from Calgary Alberta. Talks are now underway to upgrade the airport by extending the runway from the present 6000' to 8000' and enlarging the terminal. Hopefully, should this happen, the airport could see larger charter aircraft direct from Europe.
Be sure to try the airport at night! Some excellent night textures.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: if you have my previous version of Cranbrook installed, delete the Cranbrook folder and all textures that are prefixed by "XC_".
1. Unzip CYXC04.zip into a temporary folder.
2. Cut and Paste the file AF2_CYXC.bgl to your FS2004\ADDON SCENERY\SCENERY folder
3. Cut and Paste the Cranbrook folder with its contents to where you would normally install your addon scenery.
On my computer I created a folder called Addon Canada and install all my Canada scenery here.
It looks like this;
C:\FS2004\
Addon Canada\
Cranbrook\
Scenery
Texture
3. Activate Cranbrook by starting FS2004 and, in the Start window, select Settings> Scenery library> Add Area. Find the scenery in your directory and select OK. Your done. You must exit FS2004 and restart to activate the scenery.
You will find Cranbrook in your main Go to Airport Directory Menu> under Cranbrook or by typing CYXC in the Airport ID box.

To Dan Port. It was inevitable that two avid flight simmers would finally cross paths in this corner of the world. Thanks to Dan for the inside tour of Cranbrook airport and for all the pictures and many helpful suggestions he provided for the accuracy of this scenery.
