| Fort Nelson CYYE in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Nelson is close to the Peace River in the northeast corner of British Columbia, around 70 miles from the northern border, 90 from the eastern border, and 80 miles east of the Rockies. The wartime construction of the Alaska Highway actually started from Fort Nelson, as there was already a road from Fort St John (which is close to Dawson Creek) north to Fort Nelson. The airfield was part of this construction effort and after the wartime ferrying of planes to Russia it was used by the US Army Air Force and then by the Canadian Air Force. Fort Nelson flourished with the oil and gas exploration of the 1950's and the following years, and this continued to grow until the collapse of the oil price in 2014.
The town of Fort Nelson became the capital of the Northern Rockies Regional District when it was founded in 2009, and as a result the official name of the Fort Nelson airport is the Northern Rockies Regional Airport. The date for this scenery is around 2016, by which time the economic fortunes of the town were in decline. Five times per day flights by Central Mountain Air were starting to be reduced in number to the current (in 2022) one per day and none on Sunday; in the AI included here there are two flights per day. The main resident users of the airport are four helicopter companies, the helicopters presumably used for maintenance trips to whatever parts of the oil and gas fields that are still in use in the surrounding area.
There are two runways, the main one is aligned 03-21, 6,400 feet long and 200 feet wide, with ILS at the southern end and PAPI at the northern. The second runway (a narrower rebuild on a previously existing runway) is aligned 07-25 and 77 feet wide, and is without any lights. These are the alignments as per the original build of FS9 and not as per the approximate 2016 date of the buildings; I had a problem at a very late stage in making this scenery which prevented me from continuing with some final details.
On YouTube there is a series of posts by Angle of Attack showing the preparation and then the flight of an old Cessna 172 from Homer to Oshkosh for the installation of modern instruments. Interesting for me as they visit or fly over airfields I have made (Homer, Merrill, Tok Junction, Burwash, Silver City, Haines Junction, Watson Lake, Fort Nelson, and Grande Prairie) but in the winter so it all looks very different.

File Description:
Textures for Tom Gibson's Douglas DC-7C - repainted by Manfred Meyer.
You need to download and install the latest Douglas DC-7C base pack with model, sound and panel from the website calclassic.com.
These textures depict N90251 (c/n 45367) originally delivered 1958 to Transports Aeriens Intercontinenteaux TAI as F-BIAQ, later to Madair Madagascar and from 1964 on with UTA for the French Air Force as 85-CB (F-ZBCB) and served for the french nuclear program in the Pacific. Later the DC-7 was equipped with large radomes on top and beneath the fuselage for tracking satellites and missiles. In December 1978 GCA bought the plane, registered it as N90251 and leased to Petroleum AT. From 1979 to 1982 the aircraft was stored and then in September 1986 bought by T & G. Aviation. For conversion to a spray plane, a 25 000 liter tank was brought into the cabin through the entry door in pieces and welded together inside. N90251 served as sprayer in Morocco and after returning to USA in 1995 Roger Brooks from Fairbanks bought the Seven and used it for transporting bulk fuel to remote settlements and mines in Alaska, using the former spray tank.

| Alaska Bush Scenery: Coghill Lake |
|
File Description:
Situated off College Fiord at the upper end of Prince William Sound, Coghill Lake is conveniently positioned for stopping off en-route between the Anchorage & Valdez areas. It's the actual location of a holiday cabin owned by the US Forest Service which can only be reached by floatplane, however I've added 2 airstrips to the area for extra interest. Coghill's main landing strip is sandy & partially overgrown, but has a good available length of 635m/2100' and some low-intensity edge lights. Ample parking for visitors is provided in a separate ramp area amongst the trees, reached via a basic but lit & signposted taxiway. Adjacent access by floatplane is possible using the small lagoon, as well as by College Fiord itself for larger loads. The other strip, a mile southwest across the river, only gets seasonal use by agricultural aircraft for spraying the local conifer plantations; its narrow gravel runway is slightly shorter at 588m/1930' & is a more challenging proposition with the surrounding trees and heavy brush all encroaching on the landing strip. Includes 2 versions: 1 for Eddie Denney's FS2002 mesh (recommended as this makes the airstrip profiles uneven), and another for both Eddie Denney's FS2000 mesh and the default mesh.

| Lunar Mission Using Nuclear Power |
|
File Description:
This is a Lunar mission using a Shuttle-C unmanned cargo shuttle to deliver a nuclear powered rocket into orbit. A second mission by the Space Shuttle Atlantis delivers the moon lander and one crewman into orbit to dock to the nuclear N.E.R.V.A.-2 booster, which is capable of taking the single man lander to the moon and back to redock to the Atlantis, and land home safe and sound using the Atlantis.
Although the mission is totally my own creation, the machinery was researched and fairly accurate for weights and fuel efficiency. Using nuclear power a lot of payload can be pushed to the moon because it is over twice as strong as conventional rockets. Also, the Shuttle-C was actually in the process of being built by N.A.S.A during the 1990s (I've seen a photo of a partially built vehicle).
The Shuttle-C uses Vinka's multistage, but I have included the minimum files neccessary to make the Shuttle-C fly. You don't need to download anything other than this add-on. If you don't have Vinka's mulitstage, you won't see boosters or tanks after they've been jettisoned, so it would help to have it anyways.
This add-on is compatible with Build 021217 of Orbiter.

| Crossing North America Flight Adventures-Package 4 |
|
File Description:
Here's the 4th edition of my "Crossing North America" adventure and we are still working our way around in Alaska. The 10 flightplan-adventures included with package #4 begin at Cordova in Prince William Sound, then we travel up and deep into the Klondike region of east central Alaska. We end our adventures at Hoonah, AK just south of the Glacier Bay National Park. Our journey will have had us crossing the Wrangell mountains (twice) and viewing some of Alaska's most dramatically beautiful areas the state has to offer. The next package (#5) will be the final one for Alaska, as it will tour the Southeast part of the state, including the Capital of Juneau. Ironically, it is the capital of Alaska that is the only state capital you cannot drive to, as the only way you can reach Juneau is either by boat or plane. Package #6 will begin our tour of Canada, starting with the Yukon! Packages 1-4 have now totaled 4,678 miles flown, using 34 different aircraft!
With this package #4, the aircraft used are as follows:
default Caravan & KingAir,
Piaggio P-166 turboprop twin,
Cherokee 180,
Cessna 150,
Maule M-760 Amphibian,
Sikorsky S-39,
McDonnell-Douglas MD500E helicopter,
Piper Tri-pacer,
Pilatus PC-12,
Enjoy!

| Roman Abramovich Private Boeing 767-33A/ER (P4-MES) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I am proud to present this SkySpirit 2010 V5 model of the Boeing 767-33A/ER owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich. This aircraft bears the Aruban registration P4-MES, and was nicknamed "The Bandit" because of the mask painted around the cockpit windows. This is one of the largest aircraft owned and used by a private individual. It is operated for its owner by Global Jet Luxembourg, callsign "Silver Arrows." This livery is quite elegant and understated for such a "go big" owner. Although flight plans for this aircraft are hard to come by as its registration is blocked when in flight, it makes regular, frequent appearances in Innsbruck (LOWI) and St. Maarten (TNCM). It also shows up at many destinations outside Russia including; Stansted(EGSS), Vienna (LOWW) and Zurich (LSZH). In case you are curious, Roman Abramovich himself is in the captain's seat on this repaint. I tried to make this repaint as accurate as possible. However, the satellite system on the real P4-MES is not representable on this model. The repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps for best clarity and quality. This is a complete install. This package contains SkySpirit2010 B767-300 V5 model, air and config files. The sound is from the default 737.

| KFHR Friday Harbor Photoreal |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This Scenery consists of the FSX default airport of Friday Harbor, set on photorealistic terrain. Although the scenery has been compiled with night masks, night terrain has been excluded to reduce the file size. It has been designed for Megasceneryearth photorealistic scenery of the San Juan Islands but will also work with the default terrain. Seasonal variations are not included. The main scenery file has been subdivided into several smaller files, which can be switched off according to user preference. Full night textures are included with wash lighting in the terminal and carpark areas. All buildings have been custom modelled using real photographs, and include open hangers with interiors.
Next to the fuel station you will find Ernie's Cafe, much loved by resident and visiting pilots. Close to the airport you will find US style houses modelled on real photographs from the San Juan island. Surfaced airport taxiways and aprons have been kept to a minimum to allow the photoreal textures to show through. The scenery also includes sound effects and high definition people, these can be switched off if they place too much strain on your system. Please enjoy, and I hope you like my scenery as much as I enjoyed making it.

File Description:
Ireland VFR Small Airports Part 2.
This scenery consists of EIME Casement Aerodrome, EIWT Weston Executive Airport and EIKH Kilrush Airfield. Casement and Weston are within 8nm of Dublin International whilst Kilrush lies approximately 30miles to the south west.
EIME's main runway 11/29 is 1,829m (6,001feet) in length and has handled the largest of heavies. Weston caters for small executive jets, GA and helicopters. Kilrush is a small private airstrip with grass and paved runways.
The scenery has been created almost entirely from real photographs and features many open hangers with internal textures. Each airport features a full panoramic view from inside the tower, sound, lighting, and smoke effects, together with animations, high definition people and military personnel. Full night lighting with wash lighting of the aprons is included. The scenery can be used as a standalone, however it also uses many objects from my Ireland VFR Small Airports Part 1. It has been tested with FSXA only and is designed to complement vfr photographic scenery. It will also work with the default terrain and I have included a set of photoreal textures with night masks. Full installation instructions are included in the Readme file. I hope you enjoy using the airports as much as I enjoyed making them.
