File Description: This is a series of float bases to the east of the northern part of Vancouver Island. They are all zipped together because: first, they are all in the same geographical area and if you like one you may like them all; second it means I only write one set of notes; and third I only upload once. I was looking to fill in the gap between what Holger Sandmann and his cohorts have done with Alaska, and Vancouver and Vancouver Island to the south, and there are these 16 float bases in a stretch of 180 miles between the northern part of Vancouver Island and the mainland coast. And if you leave out the relatively isolated Rivers Inlet to the north then they are all within a 140 mile stretch. Some are on the east coast of Vancouver Island, but most are on islands between the mainland and the island.

File Description: Whaletown is a float base serving a village on Cortes Island, another one of the many islands squeezed between Vancouver Island and the mainland at this northern end. At this island passengers are delivered by amphibious Grumman Goose from Port Hardy, the main airport of the northern half of Vancouver Island with daily scheduled flights onward to and from Vancouver International. The AI was included with the post of Port Hardy. Regretably, the amphibious Goose behaves as if it is on land and moves on the water with it's wheels extended; there is no way around this. This scenery is a modification of a post made some years ago that did not support AI. In my FS9, close to Whaletown, there was an FS9 or Ultimate Terrain fault consisting of a long straight beach sticking out into the sea for a few thousand feet. This scenery now deletes that.
