File Description: Lanseria international airport is Johannesburg's second international airport and mostly cater to private jets, low cost airlines and many private general aviation and flightschool aircraft. It is a privately owned airport and can accomodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 757-300. This airport has seen John Travolta use it with his Boeing 707, the Hilton family with a private Boeing 757 and even the USAF have landed their C-17 Globemasters at the airport when Air Force one came here in the past with the latter landing at AFB Waterkloof. This package started out as a conversion of the wonderfull FSX scenery of the airport by Lee Hall and converted with permission from the original author. It quickly expanded however to a project that now additionally includes photoreal ground textures that changes with seasons, many added fences and gates around the airport, inclusion of the shaded parking areas with parked cars, static airplanes (RWY12 and EZ scenery libraries needed to see this) as well as numerous objects around the airport and apron made by myself in Gmax to give the airport some FS9 life. Also included is the wonderfull "apron light splashes" by Hans Günther Schnell who kindly gave me permission to use it for the night times. I have also included a local mesh for the area for users of FSGlobal 2010 to eliminate the extreme elevation anomoly around the airport.

Even More Private Strips

File Description:
Even more 'Private Strips' from around England and Wales. When combined with my previous "Private Strips Revisited" upload these will give a total of nearly 500 little airfields, which have been predominantly created to provide a source for GA and microlight ai traffic flights, without having to clutter up the more major airfields. All airfields have parking for (usually) two aircraft and associated taxiways to facilitate their coming and going. Please note :- these sceneries have been designed for use in FS2004 with the original UK VFR Photographic scenery and mesh. They rely for details on the "usual" collections of library objects, specifically EZ-Scenery, UKVFR and Rwy12 libraries. Whilst other configurations will probably work, to a degree, you'll have to try them and see if they suit you. See the enclosed ReadMe for further details.

Mackenzie River close to Tulita CZFN in Northwest Territories Canada

Images related to this file:

• mackenzie_river_flatten-1.jpg
• mackenzie_river_flatten-2.jpg

File Description:
I discovered, while testing another airfield near the Mackenzie River, that along the side of the Mackenzie adjacent to Tulita, and for a considerable distance, there was a cliff of water. I have no idea if my version of Ultimate Terrain has developed a fault or if this has been caused by the installation of a terrain mesh that now argues with UT for some unknown reason. Whatever, it was impossible to leave it as it was. I have included a screenshot of the cliff further upstream. To avoid the cliff of water I have flattened that area of the Mackenzie River and the adjacent river banks and both the town and the airfield to a height above sea level of 400 feet. This does not reflect the real life situation but is the lesser of two optical evils. I have included a screenshot of the flattened area. If you do not have a problem then you do not need this. If you too have a cliff of water then you might want to try this. It does not completely get rid of the problem, but it does get rid of it in the area visible when landing or taking off at Tulita.

Private Strips - revisited

File Description:
Herewith my previously uploaded collections of various Private/Extra/Grass/Microlight/Miscellaneous etc. airfields from around England and Wales, all now in one place and re-edited with parking and taxiways for the facilitation of ai aircraft. Please note :- these sceneries have been designed for use in FS2004 with the original UK VFR Photographic scenery and mesh. They rely for details on the "usual" collections of library objects, specifically EZ-Scenery, UKVFR and Rwy12 libraries.

Monument Valley UT25 and Oljato 05UT in Utah USA

Images related to this file:

• monument_valley-1.jpg
• monument_valley-2.jpg
• monument_valley-3.jpg
• monument_valley-4.jpg

File Description:
Monument Valley is an impressive sight in south Utah but not, unfortunately, in FS9. Unless you invest in a detailed terrain mesh there are no stacks of rocks reaching for the sky and the lasting overall impression is just of a desert. But I had already downloaded the land textures so I ended up making the Monument Valley UT25 airfield and the nearby Oljato 05UT, which has no buildings of any sort. Maybe I was bored. There is a lodge close to the field with dozens of cabins, but I had insufficient information so this is for the airfield only. The 4,000 feet of new tarmac is aligned 16-34 and is single ended with a large chunk of rock at the southern end; 16 is only used for landing and 34 is only for take off. The runway is not lit. Do not be surprised when you ask to select a runway for take off and FS9 only gives you 16 as a choice, even though you know this is the wrong one. When you accept it FS9 will quickly switch it to 34; apart from a possible sense of humour I have no idea why it does this. Nothing much to say about Oljato. What do you need? You actually don't need Ultimate Terrain as there are other land textures used here, so you will definitely need to have downloaded and installed the land textures "cny_south3west_2010 lr" and "cny_south3west2_2010 lr" by Gottfried Razek, as these land textures showed the runways in the correct positions. Look in the scenery library here or at the other place. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this (unless you count 4 as many) as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

Altitude adjustment for Dawson City CYDA

Images related to this file:

• dawson_city_altitude-1.jpg

File Description:
I discovered that the Northern Canada Terrain Mesh that I installed a while back was dumping part of my Dawson City Airport CYDA into a deep hole. I tried making a flatten to reduce the height of the terrain mesh land but that did not look at all realistic. So, the solution is to raise CYDA to 1,457 feet above sea level instead of the correct (correct according to the Nav Canada Supplement) level of 1,215 feet so that it melts into the surrounding terrain. There are still some rocky faces but at least they are not in the airfield. Do you need it? Not if your version looks ok. If it doesn't look ok then try this, but save your current version so you can go back to it if you need to.

File Description:
These backcountry airfields are for use with the FSGenesis 19m mesh of Idaho; they almost certainly do not work without it. I also have Ultimate Terrain installed, with the settings as noted. The 15 airfields included here are almost all United States Forestry Service fields: 1U1 Moose Creek, 2ID7 Cayuse Creek, 2U5 Shearer, 3U1 Warren, 12ID Flying B Ranch, 24K Krassel, 75c Orogrande, I08 Cabin Creek, ID67 Lower Loon Creek, ID76 Wilson Bar, S81 Indian Creek, S92 Fish Lake, U54 Bernard, U79 Chamberlain, U81 Cold Meadows. There is also a 85U bgl included to remove the remnants of Soldier Bar which is impossible to make into a scenery with the terrain mesh, and spoiled the surroundings if left untouched and intact. The screenshots are typical examples giving a good impression of the terrain.

Beaver Creek CYXQ in Yukon Territory, Canada

Images related to this file:

• beaver_creek-1.jpg

• beaver_creek-3.jpg
• beaver_creek-4.jpg
• beaver_creek-5.jpg

File Description:
Beaver Creek is located at mile 1202 of the Alaska Highway, just east of the Alaska/Yukon border. The populaton is around 100 and the main employment is with the Border Agency, the White River First Nation, or with local tourist lodges. The airfield is a mile north of the town and close to the Canadian border post, which is included in the scenery. It was built by Jack Stalberg in the 1960's, and I have no further information beyond the fact that he loved to fly. The airport serves as an "airport of entry", though it is restricted in hours of opening and in the size of aircraft that it can handle; up to a maximum of only 15 seats. The single runway is 3,745 feet long and 100 feet wide, gravel, aligned 13-31 in FS9, lit, and with vasi at both ends. Righthand circuits for runway 13. There is a 340 feet threshold displacement to runway 31, which is of course unmarked on a gravel runway. The terminal building was recently reclad; I don't like it, but they didn't consult me. The ai reflects the sort of traffic the airfield gets; ie brief paperwork stopovers for GA or small charter flights into Canada from Alaska, usually in the mornings.I have adjusted the local scenery terrain levels to remove adjacent hills that I believe do not exist in real life but are part of the Northern Canada terrain mesh that I have installed. If you do not have this mesh you may find that the scenery works fine for you without the API flatten that is included here. The airfield is at 2,129 feet ASL.
