File Description:
Amchitka is near the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 180 miles west of Adak, and was not included in FS9. There is no small town on Amchitka Island, which is why it was used for atom bomb testing after being closed down as an Air Force base. There are three runways from the 1940's, the largest of which is aligned 07-25 and just over 10,000 feet of overgrown asphalt 300 feet wide. The second runway is aligned 15-33 and 6,000 feet (also 300 feet wide) and the third is 05-23 and 5,000 feet. The whole eastern end of the island is crowded with old munitions storage areas and other military paraphernalia, including old quonset huts; some of those are included here. There are also some old buildings still standing but on their way to becoming piles of old wood or rust, and some of these are included. There is almost no visual information available about Amchitka; even Google Earth has snow obscuring what buildings still exist and where they are, so much of this is at best only approximate apart from the two large hangars. There are no markings, lights, signage, or a control tower.

| Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933. Known for 75 years as Moffett Field Naval Air Station, this unique site started life as Sunyvale Field (then Air Station) and was planned as the west coast base of the new Dirigible U.S.S. Macon.
The Macon was a new direction for airships in that it carried a squadron of fighter/scout aircraft and would provide for the U.S. Navy a 'carrier in the sky'. To provide for this new queen of the skies a new base was created with a unique hangar, for many years the largest free-standing wood construction in world.
This scenery attempts to capture Sunnyvale as it was first opened in 1933. I have taken a few liberties like adding in full grown trees that were part of the original master plan but I believe you will find this base captures the spirit of the original. Scenery contains custom FSDS and Gmax models as well as period AI from J.R. Lucariny (F9C SParrowhawk) and a custom repaint of the default Ford Trimotor by Ed Moore and Gary Smith.

| Sydney CYQY in Nova Scotia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sydney is a maritime port on the east coast of Canada, on the eastern corner of Cape Breton Island. It was founded in 1785 and grew in size emormously from 1900 as a steel mill was founded that prospered along with local coal mines until 1950 or so. After that date and following the final closure of the mill in 2001 the population declined to the current 29,000 or so. The airport is 3 or 4 miles southwest and inland of a coastal urban area which stretches from New Waterford in the north through Lingan, Dominion, Reserve Mines, and Glace Bay, to Port Caledonia, and 5 miles east of the town of Sydney which is beside a sheltered deep water harbour area. This version is not from a fixed date as although I had video of some of the buildings from 2010 I inadvertently constructed part of the apron layout from 2018 information, and then decided to keep it like that either because I liked it or perhaps was too lazy to redo it. The terminal building and the garages to the east of the terminal are original and old, though renovated and maintained to a fairly good standard. The other buildings on the airport are "hangars" in the expected form, with steel frames, insulated cladding, and pitched roofs. The airport publicises it's ability to cater for all the needs of visiting aircraft, with a large FBO hanger just beside the terminal. There are (or were, before the virus came along) scheduled flights by Westjet, Air Canada Jazz, and Air North, which are included in the AI along with GA flights. The runways are 07-25 at 7,000 feet and with PAPI on 25 and ILS on 07, and 01-19 at 6,000 feet with PAPI on 01 and ILS on 19. You will see once the scenery is installed that there are two folders in Sydney CYQY called "Scenery summer" and "scenery winter". Editing the folder name down from "scenery summer" to just "scenery" results in FS9 loading the summer ground textures and parked planes etc. In February you would edit down the "scenery winter" folder to just "scenery" and the unused and unswept taxiways, runway, and aprons will be invisible under the snow, the open-topped cars will not be parked in the open, and privately-owned planes will be in the hangars. If FS9 decides that there is snow on the ground then you need the winter textures, if not then the summer textures. The winter textures are not the full-snowdrift-middle-of-Winter-gale type and are more like early or late winter. One thing you must NOT DO is to edit both folders down at the same time.

| Nicholson Peninsula CWNP & Liverpool Bay CWLB DEW sites in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the east of Tuktoyaktuk.
Nicholson Peninsula is 100 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and was not included in FS9. The peninsula is sometimes more like an island than a peninsula as it is barely connected to the mainland and at times is not connected at all (see the current Gogle Earth!). At the northern end there is another long and narrow gravel bar that is formed by the tide and currents and the gravel runway is on the top of this. It is now officially closed, but is still usable. The annual refuelling and maintenance to the NSW station up on the hills is carried out from a barge that lands tanker trucks onto the shore for the drive up the existing gravel roads that have been there since the early DEW station was established.
Liverpool Bay is 50 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at around 300 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk or from a barge a mile away on the beach. There is a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. To answer your question, the three little houses on stilts are actually fuel tanks for the generators, shaped to shed snow.

| Denver (KDEN), Colorado, Photo-Scenery |

File Description:
Denver (KDEN), Colorado, Photo-Scenery for FS9 & FSX.
This package covers Denver, the capital of Colorado which is also nicknamed Mile-High City because its elevation is one mile (5.280 ft). The sixth RW (16R/34L) of Denver Int'l. Airport (KDEN) is the longest commercial RW in the US with a length of 16.000ft. This allows fully loaded B747's to take off in Denvers mile-high altitude during hot summer days, when density altitudes can approach 9.000(!) ft.
KDEN is a major hub for United Airlines and the headquarters for Frontier Airlines. The airports distinctive white tent-like fabric roof is designed to be reminiscent of the snow-covered peaks of the Rocky Mountains which you can see on approach or departure.
Other important airports covered by this region are Centennial Airport (KAPA), Buckley AFB (KBKF) and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC). Extends my Mt.Evans/Georgetown package to the east and provides another 3.500 sq km in 4.7m/pix quality.
High resolution versions for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_SouthEast.html
. The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Mark and Charles. Thanks!

| Ulukhaktok (Holman) CYHI in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ulukhaktok (Holman) is an airfield on the west side of Victoria Island, off the northern coast of Canada. It is 320 miles west of Cambridge Bay (and you should download and install the recent post of CYCB by Sid and Pete, as I use it for the AI included in this post) and around 400 miles east of Inuvik (my post of a few months ago). It has been officially called Ulukhaktok since 2006, and before that it's name was Holman.
The village of Ulukhaktok has been placed around the bay and is approximately the right shape; it houses some 460 people who used to rely solely on hunting and fishing. The village is close to 71 degrees north, and there are only four months of the year when the average high is above zero centigrade. The photograph with snow (and of course a frozen sea) is typical; for the frozen sea download my Frozen Rivers & Lakes post which will provide this. 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 an Aklak Air DC3 (based in Inuvik and operated by Kenn Borek Air) and a Canadian North Dash 8-100. Note that the runways are signed as "true" headings instead of magnetic; in the Canadian Northern Domestic Airspace all headings are given as true. Unfortunately FS9 doesn't accommodate this in ATC.

| C-46 Curtiss Commando - With Buffalo Air type VC and Failure Model |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
FS2004 Curtiss C46 VC And Failure Model, v2. For the C46 Curtiss Commando aircraft by Libardo Guzman Garcia, Greg Pepper, and Tom Gibson (GAC46V2.ZIP). This is my Version 2 and it supersedes my previous uploads (c46bflvc.zip, c46bflfix.zip, c46bfl_up.zip). It adds a virtual cockpit similar to the Buffalo Airways C46 cockpit as well as pilot induced and random failures/damages through gauges originally developed by Charles Owens for the DC3C (most failures) and by Robert Graf (carburetor icing and oil consumption) for the DC-6. These gentlemen together with Gunter Tesons RealEngine_v14 have really made flying piston aircraft a lot more interesting. The frequency of random failures can be adjusted between "never" and "certain" but you always have to watch the engine limitations, carburetor icing, and oil consumption.
Further gauges by other authors are used or have been modified or have been developed by me. Version 2 increases the number of failures (engine, fire, leaks, systems, equipment, instruments), and introduces an improved upper overhead panel, an abbreviated interactive checklist on the panel, and reduced braking in rain, snow and freezing rain. Version 1 is not required for Version 2. See the C46BFL ReadMe V2.txt for further details and credits. Required files: ga_c46_v2.zip, RealEngine_v14.zip and also recommended: The Project Tupolev TU-154M aircraft for the fully functional KLN90B GPS (PT aircraft available at: http://files.protu-154.net/).

File Description:
Tandragee airfield Northern Ireland, home of "Kernan Aviation" for FSX SP2/Accel/P3D. by Vassilios Dimoulas v1.00 6-10-2014br>
Kernan Aviation (http://www.kernanaviation.co.uk/) operates a fleet of microlight aircraft out of a home strip about two miles north of the town of Tandragee, Northern Ireland. The field is as described in their site, a home strip. There is a 300m long gravel runway with just 3.5m width. The runway intersects a road and has a generally North-South direction (actually 355-175 magnetic). There is an equivalent length grass runway to the east just over the small stream where students practice grass tngs and emergency landings. The field sports a roomy hangar, a clubhouse and a briefing house, as well as outdoor seating and barbecue facilities.
The scenery uses photoreal background and is made to match the FTX Northern Ireland region by ORBX. It will work best with that region activated. Seasonal variations are included for all seasons, including hard winter with snow (January). In order however to cater for those not having this scenery I have provided alternative background bgls for two more options, i.e. ORBX Global textures and GEX textures. The alternative bgls do not have the hard winter option as this is a feature only of FTX NI. The scenery will have also no problem to fit with UTX and Global vector. All buildings were custom made from photos of the original. The scenery has been tested and found to work also in P3D v2.3.

| Gjoa Haven CYHK, on King William Island, Nunavut, Canada, |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Gjoa Haven is a village of 1,200 or so inhabitants at N 68 38 W 95 51 on the southeast corner of King William Island, around 155 miles north of the Arctic Circle. It's Inuit name is Uqsuqtuuq; the Gjoa Haven name was given by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen when he spent two years there from 1903 to 1905 during his exploration of the northwest passage from east to west. His boat was called Gjoa and the cove was named Gjoa Harbour, in Norwegian. The village has been added in this scenery with approximately the right shape; though the coastline with Ultimate Terrain does have the small cove that serves as a harbor the coast shape is wrong. The airfield runway is 4,400 feet of gravel 100 feet wide at 154 feet above sea level. There is no LL100 available, only JetA1, delivered once a year by ship along with all the other requirements of the town. There is also a nearby CAM-B remotely operated defence radar station with its three protective domes. The old terminal building is still there, albeit repainted and spruced up, along with the far larger and newer one alongside it.
One of the screen shots shows Gjoa Haven as it appears for at least 8 months of the year, with snow on the ground and sea ice all around. If you want the ice then download my recent post of All Canada frozen lakes, rivers, and the northern seas, reversible with an untick in the FS scenery library.

| CYQS - St Thomas - Ontario, Canada *V1* |
|
Images related to this file:
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.
