| Port McNeill CAT5 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Port McNeill is at the northern end of Vancouver Island, on the coast and around 20 miles east of Port Hardy. The town population is just over 2,000 and the main industry is logging, followed by sand and gravel quarrying and exporting for the construction industry. Tourism rates third.
The airport, a mile or so east of the town, provides a swift connection for nearby islands and the surrounding area to the rest of the west coast, and serves as the HQ main base for West Coast Helicopters. Their newly built large hangar and office accommodation is next to their older hangar to one side of the central public parking area, opposite the club house cum terminal and hangars. There are two runways: 06-24 which is asphalt, 2,400 feet long, and lit; and 11-29 of gravel, 3,650 feet long and also lit. There is some taxiway lighting, but not, for instance, for the connection between runways, which is in real life a ramp up to the gravel runway which is 15 feet higher. There are no regularly scheduled flights and traffic consists mainly of the West Coast helicopters, plus GA and irregular charters, the latter being mostly from Port Hardy.

| Portland KPDX 2010 scenery for FS9 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Portland KPDX 2010 is a highly detailed and accurate replacement for the default FS9 KPDX scenery. The airport has been completely rebuilt and includes:
* All new taxiways, aprons, roads, buildings and parking areas, covering the airport itself and extending east along Airport Way to the I205 bridge.
* Custom terminal with accurate placement of jetways, gate numbers, ramp lighting and other features, including the Horizon Air terminal extension.
* Custom versions of the old short-term and recently completed long-term parking structures.
* Custom version of the very cool Horizon Air engine runup structure.
* The I205 bridge has been moved to its correct location. If you are using Ultimate Terrain the bridge and roads will now line up.
* Photo textures used wherever feasible.
Peter Ham made the excruciatingly detailed AFCAD and placed the zillions of scenery objects. Sidney Schwartz made the stunningly attractive custom scenery objects. This project represents many hours of work on our part, and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it. This scenery was designed to work in conjunction with Ultimate Terrain. If you do not have Ultimate Terrain, some of the roads will probably be misplaced, but everything else should work OK.

| Komakuk Beach & Storm Hills DEW sites in Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the west of Tuktoyaktuk.
Komakuk Beach CWKB is not included in FS9 and is in the Yukon, only 20 miles from the Alaska border. It is, as the name suggests, close to the sea, and the gravel runway 3,600' by 125' has its western end almost on the beach.
There is no lighting and no signage and the airfield is officially listed as closed, but in fact is used during the annual maintenance and refuelling of the automated NWS (North Warning Station) close by and for any unscheduled servicing. This replaced the previous much older DEW station that was manned year round and had a lot more buildings.
Storm Hills CWSH is in the Northwest Territories, 43 miles south-southwest of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at 810 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk and has a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. It will show on a gps and it is 5 miles west of the distinctively shaped and large Parsons Lake. This too was not in FS9.

| Grafton District Airport - NSW Australia |
|
File Description:
A delighful small airport approximately 80 nautical miles from Coffs Harbour and a slightly shorter distance to Ballina and Lismore. This makes a good stopover for hopping down the east coast of Australia.
The size of the airport has allowed me to put in that extra detail which makes to terminal and surrounds very much "as in real life". Photographic textures are used throughout for the buildings and even the trees are hand made macros from photographs at the airport.
AFCAD and Traffic Tools files are included to add extra AI traffic. For that reason and because of limited apron space no static planes have been used.
The scenery concentrates on adding a realistic terminal to the airport whilst leaving much of the default runway detail unchanged. Changes which have been made to the runway include tidying up the taxi way fillets so the markings do not appear to be on the grass and the windsocks have been replaced with macros designed to resemble the Grafton windsocks. Other than that the airport merges into the default scenery without the usual "green oasis" effect.

| Operating and Charter Costs |
|
File Description:
Now here is a most unusual file for you.... While one of the great pleasures of Flightsim is a bottomless wallet, For those wanting to fly charter and “keep it reasonable” and realistic, I found three websites that may help - I am sure there must be more.
The first, Controller provides an extensive listing of not only aircraft for sale... but also Aircraft for lease and charter (you’ll be able to determine just how much to charge your passengers. Categories range from Jet - Turboprop - Piston Single - Piston Twin - Antique / Classic - Experimental / Homebuilt - Piston Agricultural - Turbine Agricultural - Piston Military - Turbine Military - Piston Amphibious / Floatplane - Turbine Amphibious / Floatplane - Piston Helicopter - Turbine Helicopter
Two additional websites will give you an idea of just why you ARE charging so much...
For Jets - Omni Jet Trading - has a very comprehensive listing of Performance and Costs for most corporate Jets - From Astra to Westwind and most all inbetween.
For Turbo and Piston - Pierce Aircraft Sales covers operating costs from Beechcraft to the Swearingen Merlin IIIB
Zip file contains the URLs for all three websites...

| Rolls Royce RB211-535 Soundset for the Boeing 757 and Tupolev Tu204 |
|
File Description:
The 757 has long been on my list of to do's to update. I finally got around to the daunting task of finding all new clips, redoing the whole cfg, and finding a whole new perspective of the 757. With ultra-Realism in mind, Ive created my best work
yet for the narrow body aircraft. You can clearly hear that this set deserves the title of being a Rolls Royce. All files were recorded in full stereo and all exterior files were recorded in very close proximity to give you the most realistic simulation experience possible. The signature of this engine is the mid-spool compression grind. When the thrust of this engine hits 85% you'll gear a nose-grating grind noise that lasts for the rest of the time the engine is at that level or higher. Same for the inside, just to a lesser excent. Recomended for use with the Project Opensky Boeing 757, IFDG v2/v3 Boeing 757 and any other model of the Tupolev Tu204/Tu214 that you can find, as these engines also power that aircraft. Please Enjoy

| PMDG SIDSTARS Cycle 0702 Collection |
|
File Description:
PMDG SIDSTARS Collection Cycle 0702 (15Feb-15Mar) Procedures based on FAA Digital Aeronautical Information CDROM and/or Terry Yingling. This collection includes 48 locations (+ - indicates added since last cycle; * - indicates major rework):
KABQ KATL KAUS *KBNA KBOS *KBWI KCLT KCMH KDAL +KDCA KDEN KDFW
KDTW KEWR KFLL KGEG KHOU +KIAD KIAH KJFK KLAS *KLAX KMCI KMCO
KMDW KMEM KMIA KMSP KMSY KOAK KONT KORD KPDX KPHL KPHX KRDU
KRNO KSAN KSAT KSEA KSFO KSJC KSLC KSMF KSNA KSTL KTPA KTUS
Procedures for KBNA & KBWO have been updated to incorporate more realistic departure and arrival routes bases on user input and actual flight tracks from flightaware.com; these now include routes to departure gates and arrival final approach fixes for use in lieu of vectors. KLAX was a major rewrite to connect STARs to approach with STAR enumerations (e.g., CIVET.25L) instead of with approach transitions as I had done earlier, and this is consistent with the methodology I now use.
FAA Changes, Additions or Deletions issued this cycle are listed in file "Cycle 0702 Revisions.htm" file included in this collection.

| SkyWest / United Express New Colors Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia (N293SW) |
|
File Description:
The Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia is a workhorse short-haul regional carrier aircraft flying throughout the state of California and the western United States for SkyWest Airlines. SkyWest flies the largest fleet of EMB-120's in the world and the majority of those fly the skies of the Western US. Most of these Brasilias fly out of San Francisco (KSFO) and Los Angeles (KLAX) many times daily to destinations like; San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and Fresno just to name a few. I want to recognize and thank Daniel Halpern for his permission to use the excellent and realistic bare metal engine textures. It adds a great level of realism to the end product. The original model and default textures are by Erick Cantu and the paint kit is by Steve Drabek and Daniel Halpern. This is a textures only package; you must have the EMB-120 package by Erick Cantu, Daniel Halpern and Steve Drabek available here at AVSIM (filename emb120.zip). The fuselage and tail textures in this repaint are 32-bit with no-mips.

| US Airways Express / Piedmont Airlines 'New Colors' DeHavilland Dash8-Q102 (N942HA) |
|
File Description:
I looked around for a bit for the Dash-8-102 in the new livery of US Airway Express, operated by Piedmont Airlines, but could not find one. So, I decided to repaint it in the excellent Dreamwings model. This aircraft and roughly 54 other Dash-8's (100 and 300 models) are operated under the US Airways Express logo by Piedmont Airlines, originally founded as Henson Aviation (that's the HA in the Registration). The new US Airways livery which this aircraft wears is very striking and colorful and is quite a contrast from the prior US Airways livery. Though I could only find a few photos of this airframe, I repainted this with a goal of having a realistic and detailed end product. I hope this repaint does not fail in either of those aspects. Fuselage textures are 32-bit no mips, all other textures DXT3 (no mips). This is a textures only package; you must have the Dreamwings Design Dash8 Q-100 model available here at AVSIM.
