| Canouan TVSC in the Grenadines |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Canouan Island is the one of the middle islands in the chain known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, between Mustique and Union Island. Canouan is around 5 miles long and shaped like a hook, with a resident population of 1,200. There has been major touristic development on the island since the early 1990's and the island now has paved roads, electricity, and desalinated water along with a golf course.
The airport is at the southern end of the island and the runway has been extended to 5,875 feet on reclaimed land, making Canouan the jet airport for the Grenadines with flights from North and South America. There are connecting flights to the other islands by SVG and LIAT. The airport apron has been extended to accomodate larger planes and I have shown the airport with this apron work still in progress and during the expansion of the terminal building. The AI has two international flights, on Wednesday and Saturday, and both by American.

File Description:
Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Radial Engine Sound Pack (for Douglas DC-6, Convair CV-240, CV-340, CV-440, Canadair Cl-215, Curtiss C-46, etc.)
*This is the FS2004 version*
SkyHigh Audio Simulations is proud to present what is quite possibly the most realistic sounding Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Radial Engine sound pack available! This sound pack is designed to work with ANY model in FS9, but moreso intended for Calclassic's R-2800 powered planes like the DC-6, Convairliners, Curtiss C-46, and also meant for the Canadair CL-215 water bomber. This sound pack includes many unique and realistic features, including realistic start up sounds and vintage propliner environment sounds are included. Realistic interior ambience noises such as the touchdown, hydraulic flaps, gear sound, and more are featured in this sound pack. Please visit our website at: www.skyhighflightsim.webs.com for more info and sound packs!

| 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.

| Stereo Sound Upgrade for Bristol Hercules Engines |
|
File Description:
This stereo sound upgrade of Harry
Follas's Bristol Hercules piston-engine
sounds for FS98 was created primarily
for use with the Handley Page Hermes
by Georg Hauzenberger, but should work
well with any aircraft that was fitted
with these engines. This includes
aircraft such as the Handley Page
Hastings, Grumman Albatross, Nord
Noratlas, Vickers Viking, Short Solent,
Avro Lancaster (Mk2 models) and the
Bristol Beaufighter.
By converting the sounds to FS2004
multiple-engine stereo, the engines
now emit a realistic piston-engine roar
at full throttle, but this quietens
down to a more subtle sound in cruise.
Other associated sounds have been
added - ehgine startup, shutdown and
wind effects in flight. Touchdown
effects will now detect if the
aircraft is landing on ground or
water so you can comfortably use
these sounds with amphibious aircraft.
Requires original FS98 soundpack by
Harry Follas hercsnd.zip (the files
are also distributed with the Handley
Page Hermes and Hastings models and
probably others too.

| Buffalo Narrows CYVT in Saskatchewan, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Buffalo Narrows is a small town (around 1,400 folks) 130 miles west and a bit north of La Ronge in Saskatchewan, and I discovered that the Buffalo Narrows airfield, wrongly positioned in FS9, had been flooded out by Ultimate Terrain's lake; this is the rescue package. Actually that would be several lakes as the place is surrounded by water including Churchill Lake, Little Peter Pond Lake, and of course Big Peter Pond Lake.
There are two runways, the longest being 5,006' of 100' wide asphalt aligned 11/29, and the other 2,297 and 75' wide, also asphalt. Both runways are lit, and there is JetA and 100LL fuel available. I have placed taxiway lights, but I haven't made proper signage or placed runway lights, or a ton of other things, but it is now landable and with the buildings and fire chemical retarder tanks etc, and there is AI that includes a CL-415. The roads have also been modified to fit.

| Little Port Walter for Holger Sandmann's Tongass Fjords scenery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a second fish farm at the southern end of Baranof Island and Chatham Strait in southern Alaska. Big Port Walter is named on the chart of the area, and there is a section of the chart included here. Little Port Walter is a much smaller offshoot bay, sheltered from the weather and ideal for a fish farm. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery. I may have incorrectly identified Tongass Fjords as being required for Hawk Logging when Glacier Bay is needed. Ah well, it is one or the other of them. The fish farm (or hatchery, the description varies) has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as PWL. There is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways, so PWL on the gps just acts as a waypoint. There will be further posts for use with Tongass Fjords, Misty Fjords, and Glacier Bay, and I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.

| Howick Airfield (FAHC), South Africa |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This package will add a custom (Gmax) made Howick Airfield (FAHC), KwaZulu Natal, South Africa with photoreal textures and seasonal ground textures.
Howick is a small town in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands just off the N3 freeway which connects Johannesburg and Durban and home to the famous Howick waterfall. The Umgeni river falls 95m (311 ft) over the cliffs on the way to the Indian Ocean. The town is also home to the Midmar dam. This dam is very well known as being the location of the annual Midmar Mile swimming event which, in 2009, was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest open water swimming event with 13 755 competitors taking part.
The sloped grass runway is aligned 16/34 and 825m long and sits at an elevation of 3 615ft. Both runways have obstacles on the approach, with powerlines 730m from the threshold of runway 16, while runway 34's approach have hills around 900m before the threshold. The sloped runway has been created in FS2004 within the limits of the simulator itself.

| Minstrel Island CAX7 float base in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the third in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Minstrel Island is on the south side of Knight Inlet and 25 miles west of Knight Inlet Lodge (the previous post in this series). There is a resort on the island, though it is hidden from the air by the trees. Fuel and oil are both available at the dock, and there is a 17 feet tidal range, which would be interesting of it could be replicated in FS. The AI is an adaptation of that for CF36 and involves a GA Cessna, and a Seair Beaver flying from Campbell River to Knight Inlet Lodge via Minstrel Island. Again, because of large hills the landing of the AI may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not they fly into solid rock before landing. Take off and departure will take place. Ultimate Terrain Alaska/Canada would be a definite plus to get the water in the right shape and place. This scenery will not work without it.

| Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class |

File Description:
Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class
Land classification, or land class (NOT "landclass"), is how Flight Simulator depicts the ground textures. For much of the FS world, the ground is not representative of the real thing, however. There have been complaints because of this from those who do not understand the cause of the problem.
This document explains the basic concepts behind the land class system, why it is inevitably inaccurate for most of the world, and the very easy-to-use tools with which to fix this.
Also includes instructions for modifying water class.
This is an html document for universal compatibility.
You do not have to be a computer programmer in order to change the land class. Anyone can do it quickly and easily.
So, why complain about it? Do something!
Very sorry - no support of any kind is offered for this document. Please consult the AvSim Scenery Design forum for any questions.
