Excursion Inlet Cannery for the "Glacier Bay" scenery

File Description:
Excursion Inlet is in Alaska and in the area covered by Holger Sandmann's scenery called "Glacier Bay" which you will need to have already installed. It might work with just Ultimate Terrain, but then there will be no float base in the same inlet (nicely modelled by Holger and the team) which from the air is pushed off to one side (as a significant landmark, not literally!) by a large cannery which has been there since 1908. And rebuilt several times, I hasten to add, so don't think you're getting a museum piece here. And the only thing nearby that looms larger than the cannery is nature; lots of water, mountains, and trees. For me to start this Holger's scenery had to be there, so without it you won't get the same result.

File Description: Glacier Bay v2 is a complete replacement of the default FS2004 landscape and scenery of more than 90,000 square kilometers (36,000 sq miles) of Southeast Alaska and adjacent areas of Yukon and British Columbia. File 1 of 2 (also requires glbayv2b.zip) Landscape enhancements include high-resolution terrain mesh, detailed shorelines, rivers, lakes, and glaciers, and accurate land cover data with custom seasonal ground textures. Inland water bodies can be made to "freeze over" via an on/off switch. Other landmarks include the settlements of Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Yakutat, Atlin, and Carcross as well as road and railroad networks, cabins, lodges, and lighthouses. We modeled or enhanced 16 main airfields (plus one fictitious airstrip), 20 unlisted airstrips, 16 seaplane bases, and seven heliports. We've also included AI ship traffic in various locations as well as optional flightplans for GA and floatplane AI traffic. Glacier Bay v2 is fully compatible with other third-party add-ons, including terrain mesh (FSGlobal, FS Genesis, etc.), ground textures (Ground Environment, BEV, FScene, etc.), and landscape enhancements (Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska, Misty Fjords, Tongass Fjords, Freight Dogs). A configurator panel (requires .Net Framework!) allows users to set compatibility options and to choose levels of scenery detail. We provide an autoinstaller and detailed documentation with a sectional map of the coverage area and a list of weblinks to real-world information. For feedback and questions, please visit the Glacier Bay v2 support forum at http://forums.fsaddon.eu/viewforum.php?f=10. This project is a collaboration of nine FS developers from Germany, Austria, USA, and Canada, logging more than 1000 hours of work over the past 14 months. We acknowledge the kind support of FSAddon.com. However, this project is independent of any commercial company or product. Enjoy!

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska

File Description:
Add-on meshes can greatly improve the detail of the FS terrain but often conflict with the inaccurate placement of the other default FS landscape elements, particularly in coastal and mountainous areas. This project showcases new methods and software that allow for semi-automated development of FS landscapes from accurate source data. The files completely replace the default FS landscape of Southeast Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park and the adjacent Lynn Canal area between Juneau and Skagway (N58-60 W134-138), including shorelines, islands, and lakes, as well as glaciers, landclass, man-made features, and a LOD9 (76-m) terrain mesh. Optional AI floatplane traffic at four seaplane bases is included. A LOD10 (38-m) mesh of the same area is available as a separate optional download. FS2002 users please use fs8glbay.zip instead.

Hawk Logging, for Holger Sandmann's scenery

Images related to this file:

• hawk_logging-1.jpg
• hawk_logging-2.jpg
• hawk_logging-3.jpg

File Description:
This is a logging camp, on Admiral Island at the northern end of Chatham Strait in southern Alaska, around 30 miles south of Juneau. It is marked on the chart of the area; if you are chartless then there is a section of the chart included here. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery (or Glacier, or Misty? I don't remember now which area it is in!) and probably does not work with just Ultimate Terrain; I haven't tried it. The camp has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as PELC but there is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways; PELC on the GPS just acts as a waypoint. There will be further posts for use with Tongass Fjords, Misty Fjords, and Glacier Bay, and I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.

Little Port Walter for Holger Sandmann's Tongass Fjords scenery

• little_port_walter-1.jpg
• little_port_walter-2.jpg
• little_port_walter-3.jpg

File Description:
This is a second fish farm at the southern end of Baranof Island and Chatham Strait in southern Alaska. Big Port Walter is named on the chart of the area, and there is a section of the chart included here. Little Port Walter is a much smaller offshoot bay, sheltered from the weather and ideal for a fish farm. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery. I may have incorrectly identified Tongass Fjords as being required for Hawk Logging when Glacier Bay is needed. Ah well, it is one or the other of them. The fish farm (or hatchery, the description varies) has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as PWL. There is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways, so PWL on the gps just acts as a waypoint. There will be further posts for use with Tongass Fjords, Misty Fjords, and Glacier Bay, and I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.

LOD10 (38-m) Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska

File Description:
This LOD10 (38-m) add-on mesh of Glacier Bay National Park and the adjacent Lynn Canal area between Juneau and Skagway (N58-60 W134-138) is an optional (!) upgrade of gl_bay_1.zip (by Holger Sandmann and Jim Keir). It adds more detail to the mountainous areas and allows to locally override other installed Alaska add-on meshes without having to deactivate them. The USGS NED seamless digital elevation data used for this mesh have a 2-arcsec (~60-m) resolution. Thus, the compilation as LOD10 (38-m) will reveal all terrain details contained in the source data. Please read the gl_bay_1.zip read-me file for further information about the special features of the Glacier Bay Project.

PAFE - Kake - Southern Alaska, USA

File Description:
This is the terminal for Kake PAFE in southern Alaska. Try not to laugh; Kake is a small town and a bus shelter works very well when there might be just one or two passengers for the only flight of the day. This presumes you have installed Tongass Fjords, one of the three by Holger Sandmann and his team, the other two being Misty Fjords and Glacier Bay.

Point Ellis cannery V1, for Holger Sandmann's Tongass Fjord scenery

• point_ellis_cannery_v1-1.jpg
• point_ellis_cannery_v1-2.jpg
• point_ellis_cannery_v1-3.jpg

File Description:
This is a revised version of Point Ellis cannery, originally posted in 2007. It is unsurprisingly just east of Point Ellis, on the east side of the southern end of Chatham Strait in southern Alaska. It is marked on the chart of the area, and if you are chartless then there is a piece of the chart here. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery, and probably doesn't work with just Ultimate Terrain. The cannery has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as "PECA". There is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways, so the "PECA" on the gps just acts as a waypoint. There will be further posts for use with Tongass Fjords, Misty Fjords, and Glacier Bay, and I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.
