| Pete & Sid's Viva Scenery Volume 4 |
|
File Description:
This is a collection of scenery enhancements for 81 airports, mostly smaller ones, located primarily in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Western Canada. (Yes, there's one in New Zealand.) It was not our intention to do anything fancy or particularly accurate, but simply to make the default scenery less boring and more fun. General aviation AI traffic (using default FS9 aircraft) is also included for some of these airports. The scenery for any individual airport may be removed without affecting the other airports. Some the airports we've done may also be included in Glacier Bay and other scenery add-ons; you'll need to remove one or the other to resolve any conflicts. This scenery was designed to work with Flight1's Ultimate Terrain and has not been tested with the default FS9 scenery. Most of the airports will probably work fine with the default scenery; those airports near water features (lakes, rivers, coastlines) are the ones most likely to have problems.

| 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.

| Buckland PABL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Buckland is a village on a small river, around 45 miles east of Deering and 15 miles inland from the river mouth. Like Deering, the population of 420 live from fishing and the land. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 10-24 and 3,300 feet long with VASI at both ends. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local (mostly treeless) land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Bering Air flies into Buckland from Kotzebue and is included in the AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 505 and there will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airport (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

| Wekweeti CFJ2 in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wekweeti is a small village in the Northwest Territories, around 120 miles north of Yellowknife and 100 east of Gameti, which was recently posted. It has a population of around 125. 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 area is a complex collection of lakes and small rivers and the airfield is around 3 miles east of the village on a lake shore. The lit gravel runway of 3,400 feet with PAPI at both ends is aligned 307T-127T with T standing for "true" and not the unreliable magnetic heading in the Canadian northern domestic airspace. 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 Thursday delivery by a Buffalo DC3. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Ferndale 53U in Montana US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I have made this because I downloaded and tried the Glacier Park photo land-class scenery by Blue Sky Scenery and then rediscovered that the airfield runways are not correctly positioned or aligned in FS9. So I corrected the Ferndale runway and while I was there also added 33 hangars and some parked planes. Of course, as all I know about the hangars is the colour of the roof this isn't up to total realism. It is, however, better than nothing and as I have a large stock of hangars from other sceneries not much effort was involved.
Ferndale is an "airpark" type of airfield where folks build their houses and hangers around the field, plus it also has a bunch of hangars; it is the "bunch" that I have replicated, as I have no idea at all what the houses look like. The field is 20 miles southeast of Glacier Park International at 3,060 feet ASL and around 55 miles south of the Canadian border. There are no large towns close by; the nearest would be Missoula, which is some 70 miles further south.

| Frozen & Landable Lakes & Rivers for All Canada Winter Ski Operations |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This "freezes" ALL Canadian lakes and rivers for winter flying and means they can be landed on with skis or wheels. This edition covers all of Canada plus parts of the USA along the border, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. It is reversible with an "untick" in the FS scenery library. I have spent some time making sure that the sea and the inlets along the coast do not get frozen too, and also some of the lakes that are close to the coast and rarely get cold enough to freeze over. Along the north shore I went for the peak of the winter with sea ice all the way to the permanent polar cap; this is not totally realistic as there is usually a partially open lead along the coast, but this would be difficult to replicate convincingly. This is really for use with Ultimate Terrain, though it will work without it. The pics show Rockcliffe in the winter with the frozen Ottawa River for real and in FS for comparison; without UT the river would not be in the right place.

| Kugluktuk CYCO in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kugluktuk is on the coast of northern mainland Canada on the mouth of the Coppermine River. It is around 250 miles west of Cambridge Bay and 200 miles south of Ulukhaktok. Tuktoyaktuk is 450 miles west. Kugluktuk used to be called Coppermine as copper was mined along the banks of the river and used for spear and arrow heads, and this attracted a semi-permanent population. The population now numbers around 1,450. The airfield is inland from the village and the 5,500 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 121T/3301T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. Both JETA-1 and 100LL are available, dispensed by a truck as the storage tanks are just off the northern edge of the field. There are flights by First Air and Canadian North and the AI includes a daily flight of each, plus a cargo visit by Buffalo; the closest large city is Yellowknife, 375 miles south. I should have mentioned a long time ago that to see the apron lights working requires you to have the "lights_ss_v2" by Sidney Schwartz installed.

| Wrigley CYWY - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wrigley is the next in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, and Deline, all posted. Wrigley is at 489 feet asl and on the east bank of the the Mackenzie, around 135 miles due south of Deline. The town of Wrigley has a population of only 125 or so folks, and was relocated to its current position in 1965 from Fort Wrigley to be near the WW2 era airfield; I have no idea where Fort Wrigley is, or was. The airport is just over a mile south of the town, and has 3,500 feet of gravel runway. North Wright Air have scheduled flights to here and other airfields up and down the Mackenzie (including Deline, Fort Simpson, and Fort Good Hope etc) which is reflected in the revised AI. There is again a mandatory radio frequency but I have set the "tower" as unmanned so you will announce intentions and join downwind. There is no fuel available.

| CYEN Estevan Saskatchewan Municipal Airport |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CYEN Estevan Municipal airport is situated approximately three miles (6 Km) north of the City of Estevan. CYEN Estevan Muni was constructed using GMAX and represents the airport as it was in the Summer of 2006. It includes all the buildings at the airport, runway signs, addition of some fencing, anda new rotating beacon that is closer to the actual device. CYEN also includes a landclass file to better represent the terrain around the airport, at least as far as the limits of the default landscape will allow.
The airport is home to Sunrise Aviation (which operates the field for the city) and some 26 light aircraft. CYEN handles a wide variety of Canadian and U.S. corporate and charter aircraft given the large oil and coal mining industry in the area. With the U.S. border so close by, CYEN is also the first stop for many U.S. registered aircraft that land to clear customs and refuel.
(This is a re-upload of the scenery to replace the original that was lost in the AVSIM hack. No changes have been made)

The Gimli Glider is the nickname of an Air Canada aircraft that was involved in a notable aviation incident in July 1983. On 23 July, Air Canada Flight 143, a Boeing 767-233 jet, ran out of fuel at an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 m) ASL, about halfway through its flight from Montreal to Edmonton via Ottawa. The crew was able to glide the aircraft safely to an emergency landing at Gimli Industrial Park Airport, a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba. The plane survived and flew for Air Canada until its retirement in 2008
