| Medicine Hat CYXH in Alberta Canada |
|

File Description:
Medicine Hat is a town in south Alberta, beside the South Saskatchewan River, and around 180 miles southeast of Calgary. Originally a railroad town, and in fact still served by the railway and now also by the Trans-Canada Highway, it is currently mainly known for the large natural gas fields in the area. As Rudyard Kipling said, Medicine Hat has "all hell for a basement". The name of the city is a translation of the Blackfoot tribal name for the eagle tail feather headdress worn by tribal medicine men, and it was curiosity about the name that first got my attention.
The date of this scenery is not 2010, as is usual for my scenery; it is more like 2015. The terminal building has been extended and improved, the apron around the two large southern hangars and the large rental hangars behind them is still visibly new, and the tie-down parking places on the grass accessed off one side of the old taxiway are in place and in use. The airport is now (2015) not in the busy usage that it experienced in the second half of the 1900's and old taxiways and a runway have been left to decay and large old hangars have been demolished. Hence the visible remains. The current runways were rebuilt (on top of the existing as foundations) and are 03-21 with 4,990 feet of lit asphalt 150 feet wide with PAPI at both ends, and 09-27 with 2,885 feet of lit asphalt 100 feet wide.
The two newish hangars to the south are a helicopter operating and maintenance company with a flight training school based in the adjoining offices (light grey buildings) and an FBO in hangar and offices (dark grey). Further buildings have been erected since then, and some existing ones have been reclad (eg. light grey now, in 2021, has a light blue roof).
I have cheated in one respect. In reality, the edges of the airport have been gradually utilised for various purposes, such as workshops, storage sheds, factories, etc, with access from the surrounding urban roads. As I have almost no information regarding their appearance I decided to leave the airport area as it was originally built, rather than incorporating buildings that I know are false. I admit that this was also the laziest solution.
The scenery includes a grass strip 3 miles to the south of Medicine Hat, namely Schlenker CFZ3. It is the only airfield I have come across where the fences are not around the edge of the airfield, they are instead around the runways and apron. I presume this is so animals can be left to feed off the grass in summer.
The AI includes flights by Air Canada Jazz.

| Cyprus: Airfields plus landmarks and land class for all of Cyprus and AI |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cyprus, an island in the eastern Mediterranean. Without the benefit of Ultimate Terrain, which does not exist for Cyprus, the land class provided by FS9 stands out as hopelessly inadequate. I have added the extensive farmland and the larger towns and villages, plus the major roads. Four completely new airfields are included here, three in the north and one in the south. Ercan LCEN is in the north and functions as the airport for all of the north. It was recently closed for two years while a new terminal was built and the runway updated and an apron extended etc, and during that time Gecitkale LCGK functioned (barely) as the airport for the north. Gecitkale is now hardly used at all. The third northern airfield is Ilker Karter LCIK and this functions as the HQ base of the Turkish Army Corp in northern Cyprus. The last of the new airfields is Kingsfield LCRE, which is in the Sovereign Base area to the east of Larnaca and is now used for recreational purposes. Ercan is now undergoing further expansion with a new runway and a new terminal building and apron, so this scenery is for the period between 2010 to 2015. My set up of Cyprus already included a payware Larnaca by Aerosoft (now only 12 euros) plus a freeware Paphos, Nicosia, and Akrotiri; that was my starting point. Larnaca has been the major airport for Cyprus since the mid 1970's, with a huge tourist trade that peaks in the summer but which is year long (almost a million Brits visit every year, let alone the other nationalities). I have adapted this (gate sizes etc) to allow parking by a multitude of B737's and others. Nicosia is freeware (posted in 2010) and I have included modifications to reflect its now total disuse. Paphos is at the far western end of the island and freeware, and I have modified this to allow larger and military ai aircraft to function properly; the poster improved his first version to better cater for ai but I was unaware of this and I have stayed with my modifications. Akrotiri is freeware and includes a lot of library object input from MAIW. I have modified the parking somewhat and added further residential areas and munitions storage. The AI is based upon recorded take offs and landings in April, with some further additions in later months. At Ercan the visible gate numbers on the apron are as per real life, but the numbers within FS9 reflect the fact that planes are directed to gates at the centre of the terminal building and not at the far ends. Follow the pink line and obey ATC when it says taxi to gate number 2 even if it is visibly numbered 4.

| Caballococha, Peru |
|
File Description:
Caballococha, Peru - Actually I have found only one photo of the town along the Amazon River and it was only of the Plaza. This is a total impressionistic file. Creates the town, riverside features (Piers, Ferry landing) and a few features to the default airport.
New AFCAD created offering parking and a taxiway, plus two water start locations. Again totally fictious. BUT enjoy.
One thing about Caballococha is that it is along a highly navagatable portion of the Amazon and with the fantastic array of Watercraft available offers, I believe, unlimited simming possibilities.
I included the .XML file for rwy12, if you are into enhancing your own scenery...please do feel free to modify or add as desired. This scenery DOES require both LAGO FSE (Payware) and RWY12 available here at avsim) to work.
questions or comments PLEASE do e-mail me ... I will respond as rapidly as possible.

| EHAM - Moving Traffic v0.5 |
|
File Description:
This project contains moving traffic around Schiphol Airport (EHAM). There are 4 types of cars and more than 10 colour schemes.
With this project there is just 1 problem:
Traffic will only appear in the first half of the hour. This time is the time of FS, not your system time. After 30 minutes of traffic all cars will disappear. The next 30 minutes it's rather quiet. This means a traffic density of zero. After this 30 minute period, it's rush (half)hour again. This repeats itself.
We don't know the problem yet, but any help is welcome. Some minor problems will be fixed later. This version (v0.5) is the release version because we don't want you to wait any longer.
We hope you'll enjoy this addon in spite of this problem. For other projects or updates: ProjectX

| Kangiqsujuaq CYKF in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kangiqsujuaq is on the north coast of Quebec, 85 miles west of Quaqtaq and 125 miles east of Salluit, while across the Hudson Strait and 100 miles away on Baffin Island is Kimmirut. The town grew around two trading posts, the first opened by Revillon Freres in 1910, and the second by the Hudson Bay Company in 1914. A school was opened in 1960, and a clinic in 1961. The town was known as Wakeham Bay until 1961, and now has a population of around 700. The airport is to the south of the town and up on the hill at 511 feet ASL (this has been remeasured since 2004 and is now known to be 501). The gravel runway is just over 3,500 feet long and aligned 15/33; there is no PAPI, but there is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA. There are flights by Air Inuit.

| Oliver Pabst's LEPA Textures - 2005 remix |
|
File Description:
A year or so ago I created a texture fix for Oliver Pabst's award-winning scenery for LEPA - the airport at Son Jan Juan - Palma. After visiting there in FS9 I decided to bring a little more detail to the ground textures in order to make them more attractive. The existing apron textures are very grey - and these aren't!!
I also opened the new taxiway to the threshold for runway 24L (and opened both runways in the AFCAD, added jetways at the western terminal (module 1) and added a low-res surface bitmap for the roads etc leading to the terminal. If you're still using Oliver's scenery, you'll probably like this. If you aren't sure - I have some up-front pictures to help you decide.
Many thanks to Oliver for endorsing my previous tweak, I hope this one goes well too. Thanks for the scenery, Oliver!

| Whaletown CAW9 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whaletown is a float base serving a village on Cortes Island, another one of the many islands squeezed between Vancouver Island and the mainland at this northern end. At this island passengers are delivered by amphibious Grumman Goose from Port Hardy, the main airport of the northern half of Vancouver Island with daily scheduled flights onward to and from Vancouver International. The AI was included with the post of Port Hardy. Regretably, the amphibious Goose behaves as if it is on land and moves on the water with it's wheels extended; there is no way around this. This scenery is a modification of a post made some years ago that did not support AI. In my FS9, close to Whaletown, there was an FS9 or Ultimate Terrain fault consisting of a long straight beach sticking out into the sea for a few thousand feet. This scenery now deletes that.

| Torrey, Box-Death Hollow Wilderness, Aquarius Plateau, Utah, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The southern part of this region covers the Box-Death Hollow Wilderness, with its vertical gray-orange walls of Navajo sandstone. Then comes the Aquarius Plateau which is the highest timbered plateau in North America with Boulder Mountain. In the north you'll find the little town of Torrey, which is just eight miles west of Capitol Reef National Park. Extends my Grand Staircase Escalante scenery to the north.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_SouthWest3.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry.
Thanks to Joop Mak for providing a custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available here: www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Ralf-Peter, Jon and Laurent.

| Central Europe 1961 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This scenery package contains twelve airports in Germany, nine in the Netherlands, one in Luxembourg, three in Switzerland , and three in Austria - providing taxiways and details as they were at the beginning of the 1960's.
We also created the harbors of Rotterdam, Hamburg and Den Helder, all the lighthouses along the Dutch coast and some along the German coast, and created the island of Helgoland from scratch. Although most of the airports of the package are for civil use, we also produced some Dutch military bases with AI and static aircraft. At many of the airports you will find moving crash tenders and at Amsterdam moving airport buses. Although we did not always have enough photos and information we tried to come as close as possible. Our goal was to reflect something of the atmosphere and feel of that period, prior to the all-jet era of today.

| PADK - Adak - Aleutians, Alaska - USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Adak is near the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska. The closed naval air base buildings are mostly still there and once housed over 6,000; the population is now much reduced to around 320, involved in fishing and a fish processing plant, organising caribou hunts for the tourism industry, running the airport, etc. The runways are long and wide (both are over 7,000 feet) and aligned 23-05 (with an ils) and 18-36. There are flights from Anchorage on Thursdays and Sundays by Alaska Airlines (a 737) and occasional charters from Dutch Harbor by Grant Aviation, 445 miles east of Adak. The Ai included here contains these flights. There are revisions included for Dutch Harbor PADU which provide parking for more Grant planes, as Grant are now also running flights to Akun Island, east of Dutch Harbor; more Aleutian posts to follow.
