File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and is best known in flying circles as the place where Wiley Post crashed his floatplane on takeoff and killed himself and Will Rogers. The crash was some 15 miles south of Barrow and was "assisted" by the mismatched fuselage, wings, and floats that had been assembled to create the floatplane. The Barrow population is largely Inupiat and totals some 4,400. The downtown area of Barrow is immediately north of the airport. The second and largest part of Barrow is further north past a string of lagoons and is locally called Browerville. To the northeast along the coast is the smallest part around what used to be the Naval Arctic Research Lab, and is now a college. To the east of this are the DEW buildings, plus two large navy hangars and the gravel runway that was used to serve the DEW station. The PABR runway is aligned 06-24 in FS9 and is 7,100 feet long and 150 feet wide, built on top of a gravel base and surround that copes with the underlying permafrost. There is PAPI at both ends and an ILS and approach lights on 06; 06 circuits are to the right. The airport notes include a warning that the apron is not a standard width and that large planes that are enroute to the far end of the runway will not be able to taxi past a plane parked at the gate and should use the runway as a taxiway, then turn and takeoff. FS9 AI cannot cope with that, so the apron here is wider. There are, in real life and the AI, daily flights by Air Alaska (three at least) and Era (several, and which is now called Ravn, hence the new hangar door motif) and air cargo flights by Northern Air Cargo and Everts, plus GA. The buildings have been made with photographic textures or textures made from reference photos. I decided that while 500+ scenery objects was probably ok for most people the required 900+ to "make" the town of Barrow would likely not be. The auto-generated FS9 town objects could not be left as Barrow with trees would not look at all like reality; I have "faded" the density of the town buildings into the distance from the airport.

Air Saguenay floatbase Lac Sebastien CTD3 in Quebec Canada

Images related to this file:

• air_saguenay_floatbase_qc-1.jpg
• air_saguenay_floatbase_qc-2.jpg

File Description:
This is the first of five sceneries around Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada, to the west of the St Lawrence River and close to Bagotville air base. Air Saguenay are a mainly float plane company that operates hunting and fishing flights to company-owned outposts in northern Quebec, with a fleet of almost 30 aircraft including 11 de Havilland Otters and 14 Beavers as of the last count. Their HQ float base is on Lac Sebastien, which is 30 miles east of the far larger Lac Saint-Jean. There are screenshots of this scenery and others in the series that follow this post in the Lac Saint-Jean QC folder. This scenery includes in the AI an Air Saguenay turbine Otter on floats, which has been modified to operate as an AI floatplane with a new config file. The ai also includes other GA float planes. There are also planes listed that will be required only for the future posts in this series, and the relevant textures etc will be provided at the date of the posts. Some of the Beaver AI planes will only be available if you already have the aerosoft Beaver installed. There are HTAI planes used as AI in this series, updated by Nick Tselepides, and the float planes for this part of the series are included here, Cessna 185's.

AK183 - Geneer AKR Station D

File Description:
1 of 4 Fictional Seaplane Bases located south of Juneau, Alaska for Fs2004. My Fs2002 version came with all 4 spots, however, this remake for Fs2004, I am doing each spot seperately. Mainly used for cargo distribution and supplies, these AKR Stations were also intended to serve as tourism spots for hunting, fishing, skiing, camping, etc. Just fun little spot to hit in a bushplane/floatplane. Nova and Nova Gold Textures required.

Alaska Perry Island - PYL Small Floatplane

File Description:
Small scenery in Alaska of a flatplane outpost at Perry Island. You need Lago's FS Enhancer 2004 program to use this scenery. This is a fairly short flight away from some of my other Alaska sceneries. Made on top of FS Genesis terrain mesh but it's so near the shore and there isn't much ground change I think it's alright for use with any other mesh.

Alaska Scenery Ellamar IZ9 and Tatitlek 7KA

File Description:
2 small sceneries made using Lago's FS Enhancer 2004 (best if used with FSGenesis Alaska-Yukon mesh or some objects may be floating or sunk in terrain). These are sceneries for two very close spots in Alaska ... They are Ellamar (IZ9), a floatplane dock and scattered houses and Tatitlek (7KA), a small gravel strip with more scattered houses.

Carrier Division Two off Cape Cod

File Description:
This scenery places the two Yorktown-class aircraft carriers of the pre-WW2 U.S. Navy with a screen of four cruisers at sea 100 miles due east of Provincetown, Massachusetts, on the tip of Cape Cod. The ships are the Virtual Navy's Task Force 16 relocated and with the Hornet posing as the Yorktown. This package contains the carriers, cruisers, ship wakes, AFCAD files for all six ships and Arrestor Cables catch zones for the carriers. It provides start points on both carriers, on the catapults of all four cruisers, and in the water between the carriers for seaplanes. Also included are flight starts for Paul Clawson's Curtiss SOC Seagull on the catapults of the cruisers and for the plane of your choice on the carriers, and authentic repaints of the SOC for aircraft assigned to the cruisers plus one for the personal aircraft of the Admiral commanding CarDiv2. There is also a selection of Golden Wings splash screens featuring the ships and planes of CarDiv2. Carrier Division 2 is being released in celebration of Golden Wings 3, but works just as well in a standard FS9 installation. Catapult floatplane operations require the Carrier Operations Gauge Package and Paul Clawson's Curtiss SOC Seagull or another catapult floatplane. Ships and wake effects by The Virtual Navy, modified AFCAD files, SOC repaints, flights and ship placement by Mick Morrissey. A big Thank you to the Virtual Navy for allowing this use of their ships!

Cavanaugh Bay 66S Idaho Airport

File Description:
Priest Lake in Idaho is described by their Chamber of Commerce as "...a magnificent 23,000 acre azure lake nestled beneath the majestic Selkirk Mountains — without question, one of the most beautiful wilderness areas you’ll ever see." Cavanaugh Bay is a grass strip right on the lake, with lodges (there's one right next to the end of the runway), campgrounds and boat/plane docks nearby. I think I was able to make a fair approximation of the real thing, based on Google Earth. If you're flying something that floats, choosing RWY S or RWY E from the FS9 airport menu will park you conveniently at a floatplane dock. This scenery was designed for use with Ultimate Terrain USA and has not been tested with the default FS9 scenery.

Chena Marina AK28 in Fairbanks Alaska

Images related to this file:

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

File Description:
Chena Marina AK28 is a float plane "pond" close to and southwest of Fairbanks International Airport, with a gravel strip alongside the water; the "strip" is actually a gravel road that functions as a runway when required. Or maybe it's a runway that functions as a road? Though it doesn't come close to the activity level of Lake Hood in Anchorage Alaska it is still a fairly busy place, and in fact Fairbanks is a hub of summer floatplane activity with a water runway at the International Airport and another "pond" known as Metro Field that is between Fairbanks and the river, plus a base on the Chena River. In this download there is a scenery folder, land-class folders, an AFCAD folder, and a "Traffic" folder, and you will definitely need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada.
