File Description:
33 Colombian Airports for FS9 default scenery and the Colombia freeware mesh by Raimondo Taburet. I also recommend the San Andres Landclass and modified coastlines by Juan Sebastian Gonzalez (sandres_lc.zip at avsim.com). However, the scenery should also work with the default or any other mesh but I have not tested it.

The airports are based on GoogleEarth and airport layout data with generic objects added. Position of the airports has been corrected, ramps added, some generic buildings and objects added to most of the airports. All files start with the ICAO identifier of the airport; so you can take out what you don't like or use only what you like.
The package includes the following airports: SKAM, SKAO (now SKMJ), SKAS, SKBN, SKBO, SKBQ, SKCB, SKCC, SKCL, SKFL, SKGO, SKGY, SKIB, SKLA, SKLT, SKMG, SKMP, SKMR, SKMU, SKOC, SKOT, SKPB, SKPV, SKQU, SKRG, SKSP, SKTJ, SKTL, SKTM, SKUC, SKUL, SKVP, Z09A.
NOTE: There a two files, colapts1.zip with the airport sceneries and screenshots, and colapts2.zip with the object libraries; colapts2.zip is only needed if you don't have already the rwy12 and ez-objects libraries used.

Colombian Airports - Update

Other files which are related to, or may be required by, this file:

• Colombian Airports (Download #184343)
• Colombian Airports: Scenery object libraries only (Download #184344)
• Colombian Airports - Update (Download #186139)

File Description:
This is an update to my previous Colombian Airports upload colapts1.zip.

The update contains mainly some navaid corrections to SKFL, SKIB, and SKVP, and adds the airport SKSJ Jorge E. Gonzales of San Jose del Guaviare; this is now at the correct location and altitude and has buildings, objects, and landclass added. It is for FS9 default scenery and the Colombia freeware mesh by Raimondo Taburet. However, the scenery should also work with the default or any other mesh but I have not tested it.

However, please NOTE: that in the default scenery without mesh the airport SKSJ will be below the rest of the surface whereas with the mesh, the airport will be at the same altitude as the rest of the scenery with the exception of the river which now runs at a higher (the default) altitude (see screenshots). For me flying without the mesh does not make any sense, so I live with that restriction. If you don't like it, you can always delete or deactivate the files starting with "SKSJ".

Colorado Lakes Project II

File Description:
This project features the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and adds over 300 highly detailed lakes to the central portion of western Colorado. Three reservoirs, named for corresponding dams on the Gunnison River, form the heart of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Panoramic mesas, fjord-like reservoirs, and deep, steep and narrow canyons abound. Blue Mesa Reservoir is Colorado's largest body of water, and is the largest Kokanee Salmon fishery in the United States. Morrow Point Reservoir is the beginning of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and below it is Crystal Reservoir. These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh. All lake information was projected from satellite imagery and compiled with a beta version of Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast" utility. Much thanks to Holger Sandmann and Jim Keir for their help and advice on interpreting the satellite data properly.

Colorado Lakes Project III

File Description:
This project features the lakes of Southwest Colorado, replaces the default Navajo Lake on the Colorado-New Mexico border, and adds over 300 highly detailed lakes to Colorado. They fit seamlessly with my "Colorado Lakes Project II" (colorado_lakes_project_2.zip) and "Colorado Lakes Project I" (colorado_lakes_project_1.zip) lakes. The original "Colorado Lakes Project I" is recommended to complete this package, as it contains McPhee, Lemon, and Vallecito Reservoirs. These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh. All lake information was projected from satellite imagery and compiled with a beta version of Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast" utility.

Colorado Lakes Project IV

File Description:
This project features the lakes of North Central Colorado, replaces all of the prominent reservoirs and lakes of the region (Dillon, Green Mountain, Granby, Williams Fork, and more), and adds over 500 highly detailed lakes to Colorado. They fit seamlessly with my "Colorado Lakes Project III" (colorado_lakes_project_3.zip), "Colorado Lakes Project II" (colorado_lakes_project_2.zip) and "Colorado Lakes Project I" (colorado_lakes_project_1.zip) lakes. These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh.

File Description:
The Columbia Metropolitan Airport Authority has provided substantial information about KCAE online, making it possible to pretty accurately model this airport. The taxiway signs have been placed according to exhibits in the airport's certification manual, and taxiway designations have been revised in accordance with upgrades to be effective mid-Novemer 2012. Most buildings have been custom modeled in accordance with information available on the internet, including Microsoft Bing birdseye views. The airport layout and landclass changes are in accordance with Google Earth imagery. If you have Jim Dhaenens' lightobj.bgl installed, apron lighting will be included, and if you have KB_static_aircraft_FSX installed (available at www.kb-sim.com/screens_static_aircraft.html), additional parked aircraft will be visible. The layout of scenery is optimized for use with Ultimate Terrain X-USA. FSX runs smoothly with this scenery on my computer, but it has not been tested on a low-end system. Sometime after starting this project, it came to my attention that a good scenery for KCAE was already available (but not listed at www.freewarescenery.com) from Jim Hill that is another option as well as adjusting scenery complexity. The new taxiway designations are not yet shown in the latest observed FAA airport diagram. An airfield sketch provided to pilots by the Columbia Metropolitan Airport is included in the package to show the taxiway designation changes.

Coolangatta International

File Description:
Coolangatta Airport(YBCG) aka Gold Coast Airport, Queensland, AUSTRALIA. This is an expanding and busy airport servicing all capitals and regional centres within Australia as well as international flights to New Zealand. The GA area is also busy particularly when international events such as Indy are being staged. This revised scenery now works perfectly with Ross Cassey's excellent SE Qeensland landclass. Included is a subset of Ross's landclass with an extra landclass of my own extending the South Gold Coast suburbs. If you do not have the full version of Ross's SEQ landclass you should make it your next download - it brings new dimensions to this area. Full night lighting is included and I recommend you try a night flight the Gold Coast looks very realistic with the new land classes. A new control tower has been added with rotating night time beacon. AFCAD files and AI traffic files are included.

• kcrpv3-1.png

File Description:
Corpus Christi, Texas, located on the Gulf of Mexico is a major aviation center with Naval Aviation headquartered here and home to an Army major depot that supports all tri-service rotor wing aircraft. While these activities are based in and around the town there is significant transient military traffic at KCRP along side commercial carrier service by AAL, SWA and UAL to KDFW, KHOU and KIAH. The airport has just completed a major upgrade to both runways (renumbered from default FSX/P3D scenery) and all taxi surfaces. This scenery was constructed with ADEv1.70 targeted for P3D; however, it works as well in FSX. All runway and ILS data has been 'as-built' in accordance with FAA NASD data with extensive use of hand-placed ground polys for taxi markings. I have omitted surrounding landclass modifications for a best fit with Orbx FTX Global OpenLC North America product.

Crested Butte Ski Area

File Description:
This project adds the ski trails to Crested Butte Mountain, Colorado. This scenery will look best when combined with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. Made with Ground2K4 v5.33, by Christian Fumey.
