| Nenana Municipal Airport PANN in Alaska |
|

File Description:
Nenana is a village on the river of the same name around 40 miles west of Fairbanks, which is the second largest urban area in Alaska after Anchorage. Nenana, as a result of this proximity, is served by road and railway and unlike other Alaskan villages is not reliant on air cargo for necessities. The current population is just under 400, which is way down from its peak of 5,000 in the 1920's when gold was being mined and the railroad being built. Nenana's main claim to fame is as the starting point for the 1925 mushing delivery to Nome of the serum to combat an outbreak of diphtheria. Any Nenana Municipal Airport history is difficult to find, even the date of construction. It has two runways 3L-21R and 3R-21L, the first being asphalt and just under 5,000 feet with PAPI at both ends, the second grass and 1,800 feet. Both are lit. It also has a further water runway similarly aligned and 3,000 feet long. Maintenance is available and there is also fuel at the end of the northern apron, close to the crashed and stripped DC4 that sits among other unwanted items that are too large to make it worth the cost of moving them off the site. There are no regular scheduled flights to the airport, with air taxi or owner operated being in the majority. The scenery, in addition to the terrain, town, bridges, and airport items also modifies the terrain in an area further south where FS9 depicted as a city an Air Force base that is mainly concerned with radar and communications and in fact has very few buildings. The AI includes some Beavers on floats that were used in previous BC scenery with the kind permission of FSAddon. As I have already posted them I have not included them again here. The float plane AI uses the same radio frequency as the land based planes, but they fly to PANX and not to PANN as FS9 has problems with getting floats and wheels separated. Or maybe I just haven't worked out how to cope with FS9. 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.

| Dawson Creek CYDQ in British Columbia, Canada UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a revised version of Dawson Creek CYDQ and the floats base CBD3, made primarily to provide one of the parked planes with it's textures but also to improve the apron markings and the AI. The float AI now includes Beavers and I also removed two planes that were not properly showing their textures in my current FS9 installation. The Beavers were included in my post of Nimpo Lake CAF8 and will need to be installed to show up here. This version is complete in itself and can be installed as-is if you do not have the original scenery. Dawson Creek is at 2,148 feet asl just east of the Rocky Mountains, less than 10 miles west of the BC/Alberta border and where the Rockies are at their narrowest. The population grew when the Northern Alberta Railway was extended to Dawsons Creek in 1932, and grew even more more when the Alaska Highway was built in 1942, starting from Dawsons Creek. In the 1950's the town was linked through the Rockies by a railway and a road to the BC interior, and the town grew again. Now it is static at just under 12,000 and once again has become a farming centre, with Fort St John and Grand Prairie winning out for new industry and commerce. The airport is just to the east of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 06/24, lit, and with PAPI and approach lights. There is also a water runway for float planes, separately designated as Dawson Creek CBD3. The two effectively operate as one; traffic for both use the mandatory frequency of 122.2 and talk to one controller in one control tower. However, in FS9 the ATC for two separately designated airfields (or float fields) operates as if they are nowhere near each other and takes no notice of near misses between the two lots of planes. As a result I have put them both in un-manned tower mode so you will announce your position and intentions and select your own parking spots, either next to one of the hangars or on the grass. The aprons vary from asphalt, to concrete, onwards to gravel, and then further onwards to some gravel amid the bare dirt; I have replicated this variation as far as FS9 permits.

| Sydney CYQY in Nova Scotia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sydney is a maritime port on the east coast of Canada, on the eastern corner of Cape Breton Island. It was founded in 1785 and grew in size emormously from 1900 as a steel mill was founded that prospered along with local coal mines until 1950 or so. After that date and following the final closure of the mill in 2001 the population declined to the current 29,000 or so. The airport is 3 or 4 miles southwest and inland of a coastal urban area which stretches from New Waterford in the north through Lingan, Dominion, Reserve Mines, and Glace Bay, to Port Caledonia, and 5 miles east of the town of Sydney which is beside a sheltered deep water harbour area. This version is not from a fixed date as although I had video of some of the buildings from 2010 I inadvertently constructed part of the apron layout from 2018 information, and then decided to keep it like that either because I liked it or perhaps was too lazy to redo it. The terminal building and the garages to the east of the terminal are original and old, though renovated and maintained to a fairly good standard. The other buildings on the airport are "hangars" in the expected form, with steel frames, insulated cladding, and pitched roofs. The airport publicises it's ability to cater for all the needs of visiting aircraft, with a large FBO hanger just beside the terminal. There are (or were, before the virus came along) scheduled flights by Westjet, Air Canada Jazz, and Air North, which are included in the AI along with GA flights. The runways are 07-25 at 7,000 feet and with PAPI on 25 and ILS on 07, and 01-19 at 6,000 feet with PAPI on 01 and ILS on 19. You will see once the scenery is installed that there are two folders in Sydney CYQY called "Scenery summer" and "scenery winter". Editing the folder name down from "scenery summer" to just "scenery" results in FS9 loading the summer ground textures and parked planes etc. In February you would edit down the "scenery winter" folder to just "scenery" and the unused and unswept taxiways, runway, and aprons will be invisible under the snow, the open-topped cars will not be parked in the open, and privately-owned planes will be in the hangars. If FS9 decides that there is snow on the ground then you need the winter textures, if not then the summer textures. The winter textures are not the full-snowdrift-middle-of-Winter-gale type and are more like early or late winter. One thing you must NOT DO is to edit both folders down at the same time.

| Gander CYQX in Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Gandeer is on the east coast of Canada and is the closest North American airport to Europe on the great circle route. In the early days of transatlantic flight, and in fact into the 1960's, this made it very important as a refueling stop either before the ocean hop or just after. Since then it's importance as an airport has faded somewhat as planes now fly directly to the larger city destinations. It is still an active air force base for ocean patrol and search and rescue planes, and military flights are around half of the total flights into and out of the airport. The main attractions of the airport now are the long runways and the cheaper landing fees, and there are some cargo flights and cheap charter passenger flights. This version of Gander is based upon a forgotten-about video taken in October 2010. By then the two longer runways, 13-31 at 8,900 feet and 03-21 at 10,200 feet (though in FS9 this is still designated 04-22, as it had been in 2003) had been closed (one at a time) and totally resurfaced. The third runway 09-27 (3,500 feet in 2003) was closed and starting the process of being broken up, along with associated aprons. This was part of a long process of demolition of some of the older buildings, aprons, and taxiways as they became unused with the fall in the number of daily flights. I have made it clear which of the 2010 taxiways and aprons were still in use by showing them as asphalt, while those in the process of decaying disuse or removal are in the darker tarmac texture; this is somewhat realistic as when asphalt aprons are "ploughed" for removal the darker underside becomes visible. In the renovation process of taxiway repairs only the centre strip of the taxiways was repaired and this is marked by new and closer edge lines. One end of the closed runway was still being used in 2010 for access and parking. There is a warning note in the April 2010 edition of the NAV CANADA Flight Supplement that states "surface rut on Gander Flight Training's private taxiway" (written with extremely shortened words). The Gander layout page is included here, showing that in the Spring of 2010 a much-shortened version (1,875 feet) of the 09-27 runway was still in use; my version is for late 2010 and after that runway was closed. The older buildings (and some of them are now 70 years old or more) are built in concrete and flat roofed with bitumen water proofing; hence the almost black roofs. The terminal building is one of these, though it has been enlarged by the inclusion of a hangar that is now used as the main terminal space. Almost all of the buildings are correctly replicated here. The main GA parking area is to the east of 03-21 where there are two large hangar buildings. One of them is for maintenance and the other is for a large FBO called Gander Aviation. There are other FBO's on the airport, closer to the terminal. These are Irving and Woodward, both to the west, and Allied to the south. There is a further FBO at the eastern end of the apron, name unknown. Shell, who only did refueling, were next to Woodward in 2010 but left, I believe, in 2012. The large red building behind Woodward and Shell is for the maintenance of all airport equipment (from luggage trolleys, snow clearers, de-icing trucks etc to air conditioning, radar, and radios). Most of the remaining buildings are for the air force base, though there are some private companies (such as Universal Helicopters) and even a small private cottage.
