The Abel Jets Edition of the Central Mediterranean Islands Extended map is now available for download/installation.
Many thanks to both FreezingFalcon and ThomasCook221 for their collective input. Their comprehensive feedback and inputs for the map (and patience) helped to see this to fruition, wouldn't have been possible without that .
To install the map:
1. Drag and drop the file named sceTF_CMI-E_AJE.lst into your YS FLIGHT scenery folder.
2. Drag and drop the folder named TF_CMI-E_AJE into your user folder.
There are two stand-alone ground objects in this version - the Symphony of CMI and the Abel Maintenance Facility. To ensure they are present when you spawn in the map, you'll have to take just two more simple steps:
1. Drag and drop the file named "gro_AJVATESTAMFSHIP.lst" into your YS FLIGHT "ground" folder -> This is located inside the Ground folder included in the .zip
2. Make sure the folder named "AJVA" inside "Ground" is in your YS Flight "user" folder. If you already have the "AJVA" folder in you YS FLIGHT "user" folder, then just move the contents (SymphonyCMI and AMF folders) into your existing "AJVA" folder. If any of this does not make sense or is confusing, send me a pm/message me in Discord and I'll help you out.

- Super-sized floating city, Symphony of CMI on a motion path around the original three islands, Turbot, Linbury and Ocaso - provided by Abel Jets Virtual Group (AJVG)
- Massive new Abel Maintenance Facility (AMF) at LNB - also provided by AJVG
- New four-storey AJVG World Operations Center in Linbury
- Re-built Island Central Expressway (ICE) on Winnsworth Island to accomodate expanded LNB

With this release also comes a new but simple gate identification system for pilots, only at MXA and LNB. The system is as follows:
Airport Code_Terminal Number (if required)_gate number by concourse_ICAO aircraft code
So for example:
MXA_T1_A14_E means the gate is at MXA, Terminal 1, Concourse A gate #14 and can accomodate any aircraft with a wingspan upto Code E category
A similar numbering scheme is used at LNB.
