| Southeast Farallon Islands Version 2 |
|
File Description:
SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED UPGRADE OF PRIOR VERSION. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. This island is actually a scenery object. As such it doesn't have a landable surface. Future versions will have a helicopter pad, a lighthouse, and the 100 year old houses used by researchers.

| North and Middle Farallon Islands Version 3 Update |
|
File Description:
Beta version 3 update: Adds the North and Middle Farallon Islands to the chain. To be used in conjunction with the Southeast Farallon Island Version 3 download available separately. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. These islands were created as scenery objects instead of traditional terrain in order to preserve detail.

| WAHR - Heathers Ranch |
|
File Description:
The other upload had checksum errors.
Heathers Ranch is located about 5 miles west of Port Angeles, Wa. Heather has made a lot of Virtual money from the BFU gang and others painting and re-furbishing their aircraft. This scenery was created for her because of her caring and unselfish attitude as well as her talents.
There are 2 runways, 18-36 is an oilsoaked dirt runway with oilsoaked taxiways. If you need your oil changed, Heather or her brother will change it free for the used oil. The other runway is a water runway and is in the sound adjacent to the ranch. There is a pier there that has fuel. For more service, climb the bank and taxi up to the hanger. “Easily accessed by air (STOL only), boat or road.”
You will need Gerrish Gray’s Trees_v3.zip installed. There are FSE file included but are not necessary for the enjoyment of this scenery.

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!

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.
