| CYKF – Kitchener / Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Version 3.0 |
|
File Description: I have now overhauled the CYKF Airport and made it the lively place it is today. I used the Canada Flight Supplement and my real life knowledge of the airport as this is where I do my flight training.
After seeing the traffic in my Southwestern Ontario addon, CYKF 2.1 looked a little bare in comparison, so added more parking and traffic. There are now 35 parking spots and 2 gates. All parking spots and gates have been assigned codes, which like the airline codes for the larger airports will tell the GA aircraft where to park. I organized the different aprons into parking areas. The Waterloo Wellington flight centre is referred to as “North” parking. There are 3 other parking areas as well as the gates. Traffic includes weekly scheduled aircraft that will fly up to the cottage or down south on the weekend etc.
• 35 parking spots, 2 gates
• Extended runway 25/07 and added the new taxiway and renamed the others
• Changed the landclass for the runway 25/07 extension
• Updated the airport in AFCAD for AI to use the runway 25/07 extension
• Added 22 AI flightplans to the 3 already there. AI will model real life training and commercial operations of the airport
• AI use proper Canadian registration codes
• Tested the files to make sure it operates correctly including AI

| Kugaaruk CYBB and DEW Pelly Bay CWPB in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kugaaruk is on the coast of northern mainland Canada on the Boothia Peninsula, 60 miles into a deep north-south fjord-like inlet called Pelly Bay. The name was changed from Pelly Bay in 1999, and the population is around 800. Gjoa Haven is 150 miles to the west, and Hall Beach just over 200 miles to the east. Six miles south of the village, and connected by a gravel road, there is a NWS station and what remains of a DEW Auxiliary Site; the DEW site was closed in 1992, a year after the NWS station became operational. There is also a 3,350 feet long gravel runway beside Barrow Lake 2 miles east of the site, Pelly Bay CWPB. Kugaaruk airfield is adjacent to the village and the 5,000 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 049T/229T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic. There are flights by First Air and Canadian North and the AI includes a daily flight of each from Yellowknife via Gjoa Haven (as per real life) plus a cargo visit by Buffalo. Although the runway is long enough to accomodate a 737 it is not licensed for regular scheduled jet flights; the reason for this is that the approach lighting is "inadequate". Included here is a new .bgl for Gjoa Haven which will remove the small hold short line from the gravel; my mistake.

File Description:
Air New Zealand is the national airline and flag carrier of New Zealand. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, the airline operates scheduled passenger flights to 27 domestic and 29 international destinations in 15 countries across Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania. It was the last airline to circumnavigate the world because of its flagship NZ1/2 (Heathrow - Los Angeles - Auckland) and NZ35/38 (Auckland - Hong Kong - Heathrow) flights, which ended on March 2013 when Air New Zealand stopped Hong Kong - London flights, in favour of a code sharing deal with Cathay Pacific. Air New Zealand is a member of the Star Alliance global airline alliance, having joined in 1999.

| Deering PADE in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Deering is a coastal village around 55 miles southwest of Kotzebue, living from fishing and the land and with a population of around 130. The airfield is inland from the coast and has two gravel runways, 11-29 of just under 3,000 feet and 2-20 of 3,700 feet; the US is the only country that names runways with single numerals, hence 2-20 that in Canada would be 02-20. And Canada, which is a metric country and gives speed limits on roads in kilometres per hour, flies in feet and not metres for runway lengths and flight levels. The two runways could have something to do with there being a National Guard Armoury in the village, and perhaps personnel being flown in for exercises in the local countryside. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local (mostly treeless) land class, reduces the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Bering Air flies into Deering from Kotzebue and is included in the AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 504 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.

| CYVQ - Norman Wells - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Norman Wells is the last of a series of airfields that are along (or close to) the Mackenzie River and in the Northwest Territories. It is 290 miles southeast of Inuvik and just 40 miles northwest of Tulita. The town growth was accelerated by the discovery of oil in the 1930's and the building of a small refinery in 1937, which is included here; there are now around 840 folks living in the town. The airport is adjacent to the town and has just under 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. North Wright Airways is headquartered there and this is reflected in the AI, which is for all of the newly-posted Mackenzie River postings. There is also helicopter AI, Canadian North, First Air, and there are GA flights. There is a mandatory frequency and the Norman Wells tower is manned 24 hours a day so you will follow atc instructions. In real life the terminal is on two levels; this steep change in terrain level is not possible to achieve in FS9 so although I made it as a two level terminal (ready for the FSX version?) it is here modified into a single level building. There are several "taxiways" which lead to the runway but are without hold short markings. These have been shown but are not included as AI routes. The helicopters presumably hover-taxi to the runway across grass (and snow) in real life; the AI helicopter will taxi on wheels. Note that at mixed-use airports planes and helicopters all follow the same rules of procedure.

| CYYQ - Churchill Port & York Factory - Northern Manitoba, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The main part of this scenery installs the Port of Churchill and the grain silos. Churchill CYYQ has been made by Sidney Schwartz, and this also adds AI and slightly modifies his parking to make a space big enough for Buffalo's C46. Churchill is in northern Manitoba, on the Churchill River where it empties into Hudson Bay. The town is accesible by air, by boat (once the winter ice melts) and most importantly by rail from the south. Grain from the Canadian prairies is hauled north and stored in Churchill for export to Europe by a sea route that is significantly shorter than any other, and there is a grain carrier included in the AI. Today there are perhaps 810 people living in Churchill, a slowly declining number. There are also a number of impressive polar bears. There was another port south of Churchill, but it was never completed, never connected to a railroad track, and never used. It was called Port Nelson, and was at the mouth of the Nelson River. Nearby, on the Hayes River, there is an old trading post called York Factory, built in 1684 and preserved as part of the living history of the north of Canada. The second scenery is for this, and for the nearby tourist camp called Silver Goose Lodge, which as the name suggests is for hunters. The large grassy area alongside the fort was for the trappers to camp on when they all arrived in early summer to trade the furs for goods.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Textures for Jens B. Kristensens Bristol Britannia 300 model (BRT_V10.ZIP). These textures decipt Britannia 307 c/n 12921, built at Belfast as Britannia 305 destined for the U.S. Northeast Airlines. But not taken up she was delivered 1958 as Britannia 307 G-ANCE to Air Charter Ltd. London, the first airline founded by the famous aviation intrepreneur Freddy Laker. The aircraft made severall trooping flights between London-Stansted and Christmas Island in the Pacific via Goose Bay, Vancouver and Honolulu. Carrying up to 124 passengers, troops and service personal, in a journey time of 29 hours to the Island, which was used for the British nuclear test programme. The Britannia made many further trooping flights to the, at that time, numerous British overseas bases in the Gulf, Australia, Singapore, Ceylon, Canada and Hong Kong, carrying servicemen and their families. One of these flights reached around the world for 26 100 miles in 72 hours from London via Bahrain, Colombo and Singapore to Adelaide and Sydney, then to Christmas Island and back eastbound via San Francisco and Montreal to London.
G-ANCE went together whis sistership G-ANCD to British United Airways BUA in merger and was sold 1965, converted to freighter 307F, to Lloyd International, then 1972 to Monarch and 1974 to Aer Turas. Withdrawn from use in 1979 she was stored at Manston and later at Dublin, 1981 finaly broken up at Dublin.

| Military Base Tour - South Asia |
|
File Description:
“Military Base Tour – South Asia” (MFSA) continues the MILITARY FLIGHTS SERIES which includes “Military Flight Plans” (MF), “Military Flight Plans – Europe” (MFE) and “Military Base Tour – West Asia” (MFWA). In this segment there are 20 new flight plans in South Asia, starting in Kuwait, and moving on through India, Sri Lanka, Diego Garcia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and ending in Singapore. The landing and takeoff at Paro, Bhutan is particularly memorable. A complete Flight Briefing is provided for each flight. Also included are a MFSA ITINERARY and a “Military Flights Master Itinerary” which lists each flight in all four segments of the Series to date. There are a total of 87 flight plans, starting in the US, going down through Cuba & Central America, back to the US and Canada, and then over to Europe, West Asia and now this South Asia segment. The final segment, “Military Base Tour – Pacific Rim” is under construction and will return the series to Andrews in Washington D.C. and make the SERIES a “Round the World” trip. It is suggested that the pilot set up a new file Folder (or file in an existing Folder) to unzip the file “mfsa_flights.zip” to and store the .PLN and Flight Briefing files. The .PLN file can then be copied to the “Flight Simulator Files” to set up the flight, and the briefings printed and available for quick reference during the flight.

| Beaver Creek CYXQ in Yukon Territory, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Beaver Creek is located at mile 1202 of the Alaska Highway, just east of the Alaska/Yukon border. The populaton is around 100 and the main employment is with the Border Agency, the White River First Nation, or with local tourist lodges. The airfield is a mile north of the town and close to the Canadian border post, which is included in the scenery. It was built by Jack Stalberg in the 1960's, and I have no further information beyond the fact that he loved to fly. The airport serves as an "airport of entry", though it is restricted in hours of opening and in the size of aircraft that it can handle; up to a maximum of only 15 seats. The single runway is 3,745 feet long and 100 feet wide, gravel, aligned 13-31 in FS9, lit, and with vasi at both ends. Righthand circuits for runway 13. There is a 340 feet threshold displacement to runway 31, which is of course unmarked on a gravel runway. The terminal building was recently reclad; I don't like it, but they didn't consult me. The ai reflects the sort of traffic the airfield gets; ie brief paperwork stopovers for GA or small charter flights into Canada from Alaska, usually in the mornings.I have adjusted the local scenery terrain levels to remove adjacent hills that I believe do not exist in real life but are part of the Northern Canada terrain mesh that I have installed. If you do not have this mesh you may find that the scenery works fine for you without the API flatten that is included here. The airfield is at 2,129 feet ASL.

| Nulato NUL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Nulato is a small village on the west bank of the Yukon River, around 8 miles south of where the river turns from north-south to east-west, east being upstream towards the distant Fairbanks. The population is just under 300 and living from fishing and the land. During the late 1800's the village lived by the spin off from gold mining, such as supplying cut wood as fuel for the boats plying the Yukon River. In 1900 a measles epidemic cut the population down by a third, and in the early 1900's the gold mining moved to Nome and Fairbanks, with obvious results for local prosperity. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 2-20 and just under 4,500 feet long. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Don't ask me about the odd arrangement of the airfield buildings, I have no idea why they are like that. Nulato is served by Wright Air from Fairbanks in the east and this is included in the AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 508 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.
