| Whale Cove CYXN in Hudson Bay, Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whale Cove is a small village with 300 or so inhabitants at N62 W92 on the west shore of Hudson Bay, 40 miles south of the large airport at Rankin Inlet. The village does not feature in FS9, so the first thing to do was to add it; not all the smaller streets are in place but it is the right shape.
I also had to add the roads, delete the stock airfield background, and add a new background. Plus, although the village isn't near the airfield I thought that if the place is called Whale Cove then the least I could do was create the cove, so there is also "whaleWATER" and "whalecoastDELETE", plus of course the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI.
NOTE: If you have had a problem with textures not showing up in the villages in these northern sceneries there is a note on how to fix it.

| CYGQ - Geraldton - Northern Ontario, Canada * Updated * |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my last scenery post; read the text note in the zip. This greatly modifies my previous (2009) post of Geraldton, and has more purpose-made buildings. The new version is stand-alone and does not require you to have previously installed Geraldton; it interacts with Dryden and Sioux Lookout for AI flights. Geraldton is in northern Ontario, 70 miles northeast of Thunder Bay and 50 miles east of Lake Nipigon. The town is on the northern shore of Kenogamisis Lake and strung out northwards to the east-west railway line. The population is around 2,400 and the origins are in mining. The airport is a further 3 miles or so north, just south of Hutchison Lake. CYGQ has just over 5,000' of asphalt aligned 08-26; I think there used to be a second runway in a similar arrangement to the one at Dryden, but that was long ago. At the eastern end of the runway there are hangars that turn their back on an irregularly-shaped and seemingly unplanned apron; this is because it was unplanned. There was a large addition made so that fire fighting CL 415 planes could be parked there in the summer, adjacent to tanks containing foam and chemical additivies. The AI (available with my Sioux Lookout and Dryden posts) includes CL 415 flights.

| Rae Lakes CYRA at Gameti in the NW Territories Canada, corrected |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a corrected version that rectifies the airfield elevation, which I forgot to include in the first post; 120 downloads and nobody tells me till now? The remainder of this is as first written, apart from the installation instructions: Gameti is a village in the Northwest Territories, around 65 miles north of Whati, which was recently posted. Until 2005 the village, which has a population of around 280, was known as Rae Lakes and the airfield is now renamed Gameti/Rae Lakes as shown in the 2010 version of the Nav Canada Flight Supplement, my standard reference year. Permanent settlement was established there in 1965 There is no all-weather road access and the village is reliant upon the airfield for supplies, along with an ice road in the winter months. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a lit gravel runway of just over 3,000 feet aligned 14-32 and with PAPI at both ends. The airfield is served by Air Tindi from Yellowknife on an almost daily basis, included in the AI here along with some GA and a Friday delivery by a Buffalo DC3 that uses all of the runway. The runway has lake water at each end, ready for the unwary.

| North Manitoba Airfields 20# in Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are 20 airfields in north Manitoba, Canada. They were all previously posted individually But not on Avsim. There is a screenshot of Google Earth showing their names and locations amid other airfields. "Lodge" indicates the fact that there is a fishing lodge and airfield at that location but that I have no information to enable me to make the scenery. There are also some airfields that I downloaded years ago and are part of my FS9 set up, such as Flin Flon. There is AI with the supply flights that are vital for these isolated outposts. Gillam is a northern airfield that is connected to the rest of Canada by a railroad that continues north to Churchill Manitoba on the Hudson Bay coast and is used for grain exports during the ice-free summer months. A large number of the supply flights originate from Gillam. You may wonder about the numbers of fuel tanks at these airfields. These are not for the airfield use, they are for the settlement to be able to generate electricity and also to provide heating in the winter. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| Sproat Lake CAA9 V2 on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This presumes you have already installed Sproat Lake CAA9; it is not a stand-alone scenery. In the original post I omitted the traffic bgl. This is now included, as are the two AI Beavers that FSAddon gave permission for inclusion and use as AI with Sproat Lake. So if you already have installed the pay scenery they came with they will show up anyway, but if you don't then install these two and they will; just drop the Sproat Lake AI Beavers folder into your aircraft folder, and the traffic bgl into the FS9'Scenery/World/Scenery folder as usual. I have now also included a Grumman Goose amphibian as this was the plane that the Fire Boss would be operating in while fire fighting. The textures are what were available and that I could (limited skills here) revise to at least have a Canadian registration. If I find a more accurate version I will include it at a later date. Drop the bgl's and textures into the already installed Sproat Lake scenery and texture folders and say yes to overwrite or replace.

| Nanisivik CYSR and Arctic Bay CJX7 in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Nanisivik is an airfield in the north of Baffin Island, 470 miles north of the Arctic circle. It was built to service a zinc and lead mine that was opened in 1976 as Canada's first Arctic mine, now closed and dismantled. The deep water Strathcona Sound has been ear-marked by the Canadian government for development as a naval base, so I have left the large ore storage shed and the jetty in place. The airfield is at 2,106 feet on the top of the Borden Peninsula hills with a lighted 6,400 feet of 150 feet wide gravel runway runway aligned 11/29. There is a terminal and other maintenance buildings, and First Air have a building there from when the mine generated a lot of traffic and jets were used. Arctic Bay is a village 11 miles west of Nanisivik airfield with a population of around 690 which also uses the Nanisivik airfield. There is another gravel strip much closer to the village that is called Arctic Bay CJX7, but this is smaller with only 1,500' of 50' wide gravel and has no facilities of any sort. The village is partly dependent on visiting sports hunters and other limited tourist visits. At almost 73 degrees north the average year will have only four or even three months where the average high is above freezing. The buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, and as in real life there is only JetA available. The AI visiting aircraft are a Kenn Borek Twin Otter and a First Air 42-300. As Nanisivik is in the "Northern Domestic Airspace" the runway is signed in "true" bearings and not magnetic as magnetic compasses become unreliable close to the magnetic pole.

| Embrun CPR2 in Ontario Canada 2012 Revision |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Embrun is in Ontario a few miles southeast of Ottawa, and southwest of my posted strips Russel Farm, Russellet Strip, and Indian Creek. It is a real airfield, used by Embrun Flying Club, and there is now fuel since the owner built a house on the field and moved in, and more hangars than there used to be. All in all a nice airfield with a grass runway 2,260 feet long, and in this REVISED version with a new windsock. There are electric cables strung along the road at the eastern end of the runway, marked by visibility balls; watch out for those. At the western end there are some old grain silos; these shouldn't be a problem, and if you are flying a taildragger give you something to aim at until the tail comes up. I did my first grass field landing and take off there when I was learning to fly, and it is just the right distance from Rockcliffe for a nice afternoon training flight. Look out for geese taking off from the fields to the west when you use 26; that departure from Embrun along with 50 geese was more entertaining than most.

| Mackenzie River close to Tulita CZFN in Northwest Territories Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I discovered, while testing another airfield near the Mackenzie River, that along the side of the Mackenzie adjacent to Tulita, and for a considerable distance, there was a cliff of water. I have no idea if my version of Ultimate Terrain has developed a fault or if this has been caused by the installation of a terrain mesh that now argues with UT for some unknown reason. Whatever, it was impossible to leave it as it was. I have included a screenshot of the cliff further upstream. To avoid the cliff of water I have flattened that area of the Mackenzie River and the adjacent river banks and both the town and the airfield to a height above sea level of 400 feet. This does not reflect the real life situation but is the lesser of two optical evils. I have included a screenshot of the flattened area. If you do not have a problem then you do not need this. If you too have a cliff of water then you might want to try this. It does not completely get rid of the problem, but it does get rid of it in the area visible when landing or taking off at Tulita.

| Nimpo Lake CF04 and CF51 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Nimpo Lake is less than 10 miles south of Anahim Lake, and is a centre for fishing lodges and other "nature" activities such as hiking and hunting etc. As a result there is considerable float plane activity on the lake as clients are flown in, or out, to other lakes that are nearby, or just on sightseeing jaunts. This one, CF04, is the last of a trio of Nimpo Lake float bases, and is at the far end of the lake from the other two. It is for Nimpo Lake Resort, a lodge and cottages to accommodate anglers and hikers etc. To the south of the lake, and included here, is what I have called Nimpo Lake Land CF51. It cannot by any stretch of imagination be called an airfield, but it is a cleared area and it has been used by wheeled planes. There is no runway as such and it is somewhat bumpy. The AI and the Beavers were included in the posting of CAF8.
