| British Columbia Bush Scenery: Grant Narrows & Rambo's Hideout |
|
File Description:
The larger runway at Grant Narrows has a 15 degree bend, and the shorter runway is on a slope that involves an unconventional downhill landing & an uphill take-off (STOL planes only!). Both strips are bumpy, and require Holger Sandmann's mesh of the Lower Mainland of Southern British Columbia (bcmesh9c.zip) for the required effect. A dock is provided down on the lake shore for visitors on floats. The landing strips are fictional, set in an area of wilderness on the shores of Pitt Lake - but only 20 miles from downtown Vancouver. The first Rambo movie was filmed in the hills just to the east in the Golden Ears Provincial Park: if you fly north from Grant Narrows you'll find Rambo's airstrip hideout just a couple of miles past the end of the lake - the real life location of a popular fishing lodge. Also requires Gerrish Gray's trees (trees_v3.zip).

| Los Angeles Terminal Area Chart |
|
File Description:
The rendition of Los Angeles´ KLAX airport is one of the most detailed in FS2002 and a great starting point to explore the West Coast. The library hosts a few awesome landclass and mesh files for this area that offer an "as real as it gets" VFR experience if used with this chart. The 1:250.000 scaled chart is scanned in high resolution (8400*4700 pixel). It covers a much smaller area, but offers considerably more detail than the LA sectional. You may use this chart "as is" without any other software, but it will develop its full potential if used as moving map with SimSystem´s FSFlightMax or FSGarmin. It wouldn´t have been possible to offer this chart without Richard Harvey and his love to flightsimming, so please consider this file to be "donationware" and make a however small contribution to the Richard Harvey Endowed Scholarship.

| British Farm Strips: Eastbach, Milson, & Nayland |
|
File Description:
Three interesting small English farm strips. Nayland is in Suffolk, near Colchester - the main 600m grass strip has a gradient of 8% in its first half:
probably the closest you'll get in Britain to one of the French alpine runways like Courchevel or Megève. Milson is in rural Shropshire on the side of a shallow valley; it has both a helipad & a 450m grass strip - most of which is on a fairly gentle 3.5% slope apart from the last 70 feet which rises up more steeply. The two runways at Gloucestershire's Eastbach Farm, on the edge of the Forest of Dean, are also on a slight slope but most of the excitement comes from their short length (250m & 350m respectively) - ideal for microlights and STOL planes. All three airfields are compatible ONLY with LAGO's TerraMesh Part 13 of England & Wales - no other mesh will work.

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery Tokyo Bay Scenery 2005 Ver. 5.0
This add-on scenery improves specific scenerys (Tokyo Bay, Japan) of FS2004.
There are a lot of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay.
They form an artificial peculiar coastline. This scenery reproduces these coastlines precisely.
And, this scenery reproduces the Keihin industrial area and the Keiyo industrial area in Tokyo Bay located west and east. In this scenery design, the coastline was reproduced as exactly as possible, following the specification of FS2004.
Moreover, 90m mesh geographical data is reproduced by using SRTM 3arc/sec.
The range of detailed coastline and 90m digital elevation data is as follows:
** [detailed coastline] N33:45 E138:45 to N36:55 E141:05 (included Izu Islands)
** [90m digital elevation data] N33:00 E138:00 to N37:00 E141:00 --
The Tokyo Wan AquaLine is arranged in the exact location. By Kazuo Kawamura

| Airstrips of Southern Germany |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The next my Western Europe airstrips project, herewith about 170 small airfields, mostly in Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavaria, each enhanced with buildings, taxiways, parking spaces and aprons as appropriate, to further facilitate the generation of lightweight AI traffic in the area, without overloading the more major airfields.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.
Please read the rest of this "blurb" in the included text file. There may be some details of note or interest.

| ResampleTools V.095Beta |
|
File Description:
ResampleTools is a great little utility that helps you automate the import of Mesh or Photo Real scenery into
Flight Simulator 200x. The interface is a simple 4 or 6 step wizard depending
on what you are importing and the information you have about your source files.
FS Resample Tools can help you determine the extents of your bitmap source if
you don't already know them (all four corners in degrees) and will also
determine the CellX and CellY sample or pixel width from those corner extents among others.
This is a beta version and there will be no more updates as work on this tool stoped a while ago but the author has been kind enough to allow distribution to all who might enjoy using it,(note: this may have been replaced by Elronds "imagetool" also available soon in this library).
Works with FS2000/FS2002 and FS2004.

| The Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River, Zambia/Zimbabwe |
|
File Description:
One of the main landmarks of Africa, the spectacular Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River are missing in out-of-the-box FS. With a local SRTM LOD9 mesh as a base (included) and the help of satellite imagery, maps, Ground2K4, and GMax, we did our best to model a realistic representation of the falls, the river, and the gorge, complete with custom waterfall and spray effects. The portion of the Zambezi covered in this project extends from E25 to E26.5 (more than 100km), with the falls at its center. Also included is a replacement landclass file for an area of about 20km on either side of the Zambezi River and an optional AI boat (by Lynn and Bill Lyons) cruising on the Zambezi above the falls. Tested with FS2004 only but most scenery enhancements (not the AI boat) should work just as well in FS2002.

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery SWIJT2004 Ver 3.0 (South West Islands, Japan and Taiwan)
These files improve specific scenerys (South West Islands of Japan and Taiwan, Asia) of FS2004. Included islands: Ohsumi Islands, Tokara Islands, Amami Islands, Okinawa lands, Kerama-Kume Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands and Taiwan Island.
In this scenery design, the coastline was reproduced as exactly as possible, following the specification of FS2004. Moreover, 90m mesh geographical data is reproduced by
using SRTM 3arc/sec. Correction of missing holes is perfect.
==NOTAM== I exhibited "SWIJ2k4.zip" on August 26, 2004.
However, it became clear that some of files of "SWIJ2k4" are infringing on the opyright of Microsoft. Then, I stopped public presentation of "SWIJ2k4". I apologize for having
made you trouble to those who already downloaded "SWIJ2k4.zip". New "SWIJT2k4.zip" is vast scenery which covered South West Islands, Japan and Taiwan Island. Please install new "SWIJT2k4".

| Albian CAL4, Firebag CFG6, Horizon CYNR, Mildred Lake CER4, and Muskeg Tower CFW4 in Alberta Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
All of these airfields are in or close to the Athabasca Tar Sands in Alberta, modelled here along with the airfields. The tar sands workings extend along the Athabasca River for over 60 miles north of Fort McMurray in northern Alberta, and the huge cleared areas, surface mining, tailings ponds, and refineries along the Athabasca are right up there as Alberta's biggest VFR landmark. One look at a tailings pond (sea? ocean?) makes it clear that someone was worried about public reaction to the size. As well as the surface mining there are also large areas where there is underground extraction with a grid of dirt tracks between equipment installations. There are four airfields associated with the tar sands. Horizon CYNR is a public service airport operated by Canadian Natural Reources Ltd. Mildred Lake CER4 is owned and operated by Syncrude. Albian CAL4 is owned and operated by Shell Canada, and Firebag CFG6 is owned and operated by Suncor Energy. The fifth airfield is the nearby Muskeg Tower CFW4, which is there solely to support folks during their fire watch in the 120 feet tall tower. There is also a sixth airfield east of Horizon across the river and still visible, Bitumount; this is no longer in use. There is Ai included involving Canadian North, North Cariboo, Wasaya, HTS, First Air, Suncor, etc.
