Brustem AB is closed since 1996. It used to host the Alfa Jet Training Wing of the Belgian Air Force, now located at Beauvechain AB (EBBE). In 1996, the base hosted the annual Air Force airshow celebrating 50 years of belgian air force. The Air Force is now considering reopening the base to accomodate the C-130 of the transport wing.
The dynamic scenery included in this package features 21 (!) F-16's
forming the number 50 in flight, which was one of the peak displays at
the airshow. The scenery will only appear at 'very dense' dynamic scenery
settings. The display will cycle continuously. To get rid of it, when you
get bored, you have following alternatives:
- delete (or rename) the ebst_dyn.bgl files,
- switch dynamic scenery settings to dense,
- switch the aircraft button off in the dynamic scenery dialog box.
The 21 fully textured F16's display heavily reduces frame-rates. While the faster machines will allow a confortable view (even with static scenery settings set to 'very dense') , I suggest to reduce the static scenery complexity level on slower machines in order to achieve a smoother display.
