Nicholson Peninsula CWNP & Liverpool Bay CWLB DEW sites in Northwest Territories, Canada

Images related to this file:

File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the east of Tuktoyaktuk.

Nicholson Peninsula is 100 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and was not included in FS9. The peninsula is sometimes more like an island than a peninsula as it is barely connected to the mainland and at times is not connected at all (see the current Gogle Earth!). At the northern end there is another long and narrow gravel bar that is formed by the tide and currents and the gravel runway is on the top of this. It is now officially closed, but is still usable. The annual refuelling and maintenance to the NSW station up on the hills is carried out from a barge that lands tanker trucks onto the shore for the drive up the existing gravel roads that have been there since the early DEW station was established.

Liverpool Bay is 50 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at around 300 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk or from a barge a mile away on the beach. There is a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. To answer your question, the three little houses on stilts are actually fuel tanks for the generators, shaped to shed snow.

North American Winter Season replacement

File Description:
This scenery addon replaces the default "hard winter" texture coverage maps for North America. The maps determine, on a monthly basis, where snow-covered textures appear in Flight Sim 9. In general, there will be more snow in this replacement. Note that the coverage maps change about the 19th of each calendar month in FS9. Also because of the resolution of the maps in FS9, it is impossible to use this technique to correct small scenery areas, such as mountain peaks. This file extends and replaces my previous Blizzard-06! scenery.

File Description:
One Hundred Mile House is eight miles south of 108 Mile Airport in BC and this version HAS THE MISSING TEXTURES! It is also 75 miles northwest of Kamloops. The runway 08/26 is 1,900 feet long and asphalt (except in the winter, when it is described as "snow"; there is also a note about limited winter maintenance) and almost in the middle of town. The apron is at the eastern (town) end of the runway and on the south side of this there is a large pond which attracts ducks and other water birds. Try to avoid the geese, they can weigh 14lb and come through the prop AND the perspex and up close have dark brown eyes; I speak from an experience 50 feet above the Rockcliffe runway.

PAHT - Amchitka - Aleutians, Alaska - USA

Images related to this file:

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

File Description:
Amchitka is near the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 180 miles west of Adak, and was not included in FS9. There is no small town on Amchitka Island, which is why it was used for atom bomb testing after being closed down as an Air Force base. There are three runways from the 1940's, the largest of which is aligned 07-25 and just over 10,000 feet of overgrown asphalt 300 feet wide. The second runway is aligned 15-33 and 6,000 feet (also 300 feet wide) and the third is 05-23 and 5,000 feet. The whole eastern end of the island is crowded with old munitions storage areas and other military paraphernalia, including old quonset huts; some of those are included here. There are also some old buildings still standing but on their way to becoming piles of old wood or rust, and some of these are included. There is almost no visual information available about Amchitka; even Google Earth has snow obscuring what buildings still exist and where they are, so much of this is at best only approximate apart from the two large hangars. There are no markings, lights, signage, or a control tower.

Prudhoe Bay area on Alaska North Slope US

• prudhoe_bay_alaska-8.jpg
• prudhoe_bay_alaska-9.jpg

File Description:
The Prudhoe Bay area of the Alaska north slope is dominated by all the equipment and machinery that is necessary for the extraction of oil and its transfer by the pipeline that reaches south to Valdez. Prudhoe Bay airport is now closed, and its replacement just to the south is Deadhorse PASC, with numerous storage, maintenance, and accomodation areas immediately to the north of the apron, and others adjacent to the road between the two. The runway is just under 6,500 feet with approach lights at both ends and ILS on 04 (true heading of 75 degrees). This scenery reflects the overall situation in 2011 and oil production facilities and buildings are included here. The airport buildings and those close to the airport are replicas of the real life buildings; while as distance increases the accuracy fades somewhat there are everywhere replica trucks and cross country vehicles that are true to life. Deadhorse handles around 7,000 passengers per month as staff are rotated in and out on Alaska Air and ERA flights and by oil company private flights. There are also freight flights to complement the trucking effort up the Dalton Highway. The Alaska Airlines terminal building and ERA (the red buildings nearby) are at one end of the apron, while at the other end is a very large and new green terminal, storage, hangar building built by the airport authority. All of the airport components, runways, taxiways, and aprons, are built up on a gravel base to raise them above the surrounding terrain that floods with melting snow, freezes, or dries out, according to the seasons. There are other new airstrips included here that serve the oil industry. Around 33 miles to the east is Badami PABP airport servicing a subsiduary oil producing area, with 5,000 feet of gravel runway. Some 28 miles to the west of Deadhorse is Ugnu-Kuparuk UBW with just over 6,000 feet of gravel (gravel in 2011, it is now asphalted) servicing oil production by Conoco Phillips, which uses 737's to fly staff in and out. A further 32 miles west is Alpine AK15 with 5,400 feet of gravel and also served by the Conoco Phillips 737's. To the south of Alpine and connected by road is the village of Nuiqsut. To the north of Alpine and reachable only by air in the delta of the Sagavanirktok River is CD-3, an oil collection and pump station area with another gravel runway of 3,000 feet. Other airstrips that were prviously posted are now updated, Nuiqsut and Oliktok. I experimented, but decided against trying to reproduce the several hundred miles of pipelines. The are new AI aircraft, and there are notes regarding downloading. There is a new "cement" texture (not its name, but used as that by SBuilder) for the built up gravel bases. It is slightly darker than the original but not so much that any previous use will be spoilt. You may wish to download my "Alaska Frozen Rivers and Lakes" which freezes lakes and the northern sea and makes them landable on wheels.

Replacement Grass Runway Textures

File Description:
These are a set of replacement grass runway textures which should provide a lighter/discolored strip down the centerline of a grass runway. Appearance is slightly different throughout the seasons, more discoloration during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Less discoloration during Winter, and a slight spattering of mud during Hard Winter with snow on the ground. Credit goes to the FS9 developers and Bill and Lynn Lyons, who graciously allowed me to use modified Silver Wings textures.

Rideau Lakes airfield CRL2 near Ottawa in Canada, a REVISED version

File Description:
Rideau Lakes was made and posted a year ago and this version has a revised grass background which looks more realistic and supports snow. The latter is important for Canadian sceneries. This is the second in a series of revised Ottawa area sceneries, and this version replaces the first one which should be deleted, if you already have it.
