File Description:
CHANGES IN V2: 1. The trees I used in V1 use the hard winter textures when they should be using the regular winter textures. This results in the added trees being covered in snow while the rest of the trees are not. It looked too weird. I replaced them with a different set of trees. The new trees will sometimes appear darker than the default trees due to shading, but they will at least display the correct seasonal textures. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement. 2. The default windsock ended up unders the added trees, so I moved it. V1 of this scenery is not required.

File Description:
This is an updated version of the original post, revising and adding to AI, parking, rear fences, paths from apron to hangar doors, etc. The Lockheed Constellation was downloaded from the web site California Classics, and with the knowledge and permission of Tom Gibson the modified plane is included here complete with its Air Alaska textures and a modified .cfg file so that it will imitate a lightly loaded plane and squeeze the landing run to suit the runway length of 10-28. The airfield is in southern Ontario, 55 miles west of Kitchener and 25 miles northwest of London, close to the shore of Lake Huron. The airfield is ex-military and was previously listed as Huron Airpark before being officially named the James T. Field Memorial; for me it will always be Huron Airpark. The field is owned by Goderich Aircraft Inc, a company that fits out aircraft with new interiors including instrumentation, seating, and paint schemes. Their main customers are business jet owners, which is why the AI here is oriented towards Lear etc. There are now two runways in use, the third being closed and marked as such (though still listed in the AI for you to select one to land on). The main runway is 10-28 and just over 5,000 feet. The second runway is 16-34 and 4,400 feet, with only identification numbers and centreline markings. There appear to be no apron lights, taxiway lights or runway signage currently installed. There is a small club hangar (and club room) adjacent to the main apron at the southern end, with GA parking, and there are two large hangars (one new) used by Goderich at the northern end. The remainder of the original large hangars are now in use as light industrial units unrelated to aviation, the most obvious of which is a garbage collection company with numerous parked garbage trucks. One of the hangars adjacent to the apron does incorporate what appears to be a new set of hangar doors (the red one) but it is unclear if this is actually in use for a plane. The control tower is no longer in use, and there is only limited snow clearance in the winter by Goderich; presumably they only clear it when they need to use it themselves.

File Description:
The Peace River flows east from the Rockies, joining up with the Slave River to empty into Great Slave Lake. The town is on both banks close to a bend, 245 miles northwest of Edmonton. The population is 7,000 and the surrounding area is either farmland or forest and used for winter sports; Peace River hosted the 2004 Alberta Winter Games. The airport is just over 3 miles west of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 04/22, lit, and with PAPI. There is a second runway to the south of the main runway, 1,900 feet of grass and aligned 08/26. The apron is to the north of the runway at the eastern end and is large; there is a purpose-built terminal building, plus other hangar buildings along taxiway C that extends westward from the apron. The airport gives the impression that it is under-used; there are no long lines of parked planes waiting for the weekend and few scheduled flights. These are mainly (totally?) by Sunwest Home Aviation, but unfortunately nobody has made the textures for Sunwest and my talents do not run in that direction so I have made believable substitutions. There is also a small but obstinate AI difficulty, described in the notes.

File Description:
This is an update option for CYQR 2015 - Regina International Airport - Groome Field scenery.
The CYQR 2015 scenery was designed to match the more accurate North American winter season changes developed by Scott Smart, which is available in the AVSIM file library. Seasons in the scenery are mismatched if the North American Season Zones Adjustment is not installed. This update provides users with an option to adjust CYQR 2015 to the default seasons.

File Description:
St Thomas is a town in Ontario around 12 miles south of London and less than 10 miles from the north shore of Lake Erie, with a population of just under 40,000. The airport (actually more of an airfield, as there are no scheduled flights) has three runways typical of an ex-military field, with one remaining hangar from RCAF flight training times in the 1940's, and the east-west runway now extended to just over 5,000 feet. The main presence at CYQS is a company in the crop seeding and spraying business over a wide area of Ontario; as a result there are several AT-802 planes based there which are included here as AI planes and also as parked scenery objects. To the west of the original apron area there are added taxiways to cater for a herd of new individual hangars wearing orange and white uniforms. There is fuel, runway lighting on 09-27, taxiway lights, visitor parking on the edge of the apron, and maintenance companies in the large hangars, plus a flight training group. A small terminal building sits quietly between hangars, waiting. Ditches along the road and around much of the airfield provide separation, which is why the fences are not continuous. I presume that the warning balls on the electricity cables were found to be necessary to persuade pilots not to land there; probably ski planes in winter, they tend to land anywhere so long as it has snow on it. This V1 version includes previous updates.

File Description:
Grande Prairie is at 2,195 feet asl, 65 miles southeast of Dawsons Creek, 90 miles southwest of Peace River and around 60 miles east of the Rockies. The town has a population of 55,000 and growing. The airport is just to the west of the town and was originally a military base, built during WW2. The two runways are 07-25 and 11-29 and when one is the active runway then the other is used as a taxiway. AI in FS9 doesn't like this, and just stops at the first hold short without ever reaching the active runway. I have found a way to overcome this and AI will now use taxiway A and whichever runway is inactive to feed to and from both ends of the active runway. The vertical red tanks are for de-icing fluid; de-icing is carried out before take-off in the winter. The industrial area to the southeast is now larger than I have made it, but I kept it to this minimum size to keep frame rates down. All the buildings are modeled specifically for CYQU. The AI includes Westjet, Air Canada Jazz, and others as listed. The GA AI uses only FS9 standard aircraft.

File Description:
The main part of this scenery installs the Port of Churchill and the grain silos. Churchill CYYQ has been made by Sidney Schwartz, and this also adds AI and slightly modifies his parking to make a space big enough for Buffalo's C46. Churchill is in northern Manitoba, on the Churchill River where it empties into Hudson Bay. The town is accesible by air, by boat (once the winter ice melts) and most importantly by rail from the south. Grain from the Canadian prairies is hauled north and stored in Churchill for export to Europe by a sea route that is significantly shorter than any other, and there is a grain carrier included in the AI. Today there are perhaps 810 people living in Churchill, a slowly declining number. There are also a number of impressive polar bears. There was another port south of Churchill, but it was never completed, never connected to a railroad track, and never used. It was called Port Nelson, and was at the mouth of the Nelson River. Nearby, on the Hayes River, there is an old trading post called York Factory, built in 1684 and preserved as part of the living history of the north of Canada. The second scenery is for this, and for the nearby tourist camp called Silver Goose Lodge, which as the name suggests is for hunters. The large grassy area alongside the fort was for the trappers to camp on when they all arrived in early summer to trade the furs for goods.

File Description:
Nelson is a town with a population of around 10,000, located 250 miles or so east of Vancouver on the southern shore of an east-west offshoot of Kootenay Lake. The surrounding landscape can be described as "steep" without fear of contradiction, and the diagram of arrival and departure routes (included here) shows that straight finals to either end of the runway are non-existant. The airport is right beside the water, with a single runway 3,100 feet long and 75 feet wide, aligned 04/22. The apron is at the western end. There are a number (3?) of helicopter companies based at the western end of the apron, and there is also a terminal building, though there are in fact no regular scheduled flights; there are occasional charters to cater for town events during the summer tourist season. There is no runway lighting, or taxiway or apron lights, so usage is effectively restricted to daylight hours (though not legally stated as such). All circuits are over the water and not the town, though even this means you climb quickly and dog-leg to follow the water until you have gained enough altitude to turn. Winter maintenance is limited. And if all this is not enough you are advised to "watch for wildlife on the rwy". The nature of the surrounding terrain makes AI hit-and-miss; mostly hit. AI Planes will taxi out and then take off, and provided you don't follow them until they fly into a mountain it will all appear normal. Planes that are arriving will appear by magic on their parking spots, as they have crashed before they arrive. To avoid repetitive unrealistic arrivals I have limited the AI to only 3 planes. The scenery includes some of the nearby buidings and landmarks, as shown in the screenshots.

File Description:
To explore this region depart from Eagle County Regional Airport (KEGE) which is a popular regional airport used in winter to transport skiers to nearby Vail. Northwest of the airport you can see the pit gypsum mine of American Gypsum which produces a variety of wallboard products. When you fly to the west and along the Eagle River, you soon pass its confluence with the Colorado River. Further west you can fly along Glennwood Canyon and finally reach Glennwood Springs where the Colorado meets the Roaring Fork River. Here you can turn south and fly direct Glenwood Springs Airport (KGWS) which lies south of the city. This scenery brings you another 3.500 sq km of beautiful Colorado in 4.7m/pix quality.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_SouthWest2.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Alain and James.

File Description:
Edson is 120 miles west of Edmonton in Alberta, on Highway 16. It was originally named Heatherwood, but that was changed to honour the vice president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway when it was made the local railway centre. It thrived, and when Highway 16 was upgraded it thrived even more. Coal mining and industry connected with timber are the main employers of a population of around 8,500. The airport is at the western edge of the town at 3,041 feet asl, with a single lit runway 6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide aligned 07-25, with displaced thresholds and VASI at each end. The two joined aprons are at the eastern end of the airfield, with fire fighting chemical tanks beside the western one which is reserved in the summer months for the Lockheed Electra Air Spray planes; these are included in the AI. The eastern apron is for visiting charters and GA planes, next to a small terminal building. There is further parking on the grass for resident planes next to a large gravel car parking area and clubhouse. As the Air Spray planes would not be fighting fires in the winter there are in fact two editions of the AI, one for the summer fire fighting season and the other for the winter freeze. Use whichever one is appropriate for your flight time; I never strayed far from Ottawa in the winter so for me it is the summer one only. While making this I came across something new in the shape of some incorrectly installed edge lights in the stock fs9 version that refused to be deleted. There is still an "Edson TOP" folder which would normally be used to delete all unwanted taxiway edge lights, but in this case it deletes only some of them. Apologies, but there is nothing more that I can do and so I suggest you use this in daylight only.
