| Ogdensburg International KOGS New York state close to the St. Lawrence River |
|
File Description:
Ogdensburg is called "International" but there is in fact very little activity, in spite of Big Sky Airways now operating flights between Ogdensburg and Boston. The airfield and the town of the same name are close to the St. Lawrence and the border with Ontario in Canada, and would be very convenient for a cross border hop except for the stepped up security that now applies to cross-border flights. So it is now even emptier than before, in spite of the excellent condition of the 5,200' runway.

| PAMR - Merrill Field - Anchorage, Alaska - Texture Update |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This texture for one of Sidney Schwarz's lights will prevent my Merrill Field scenery from generating blurred textures when you are flying nearby. It all depends on your settings within FS9 so you might never have had that problem, and if you haven't then you don't need this. If you have had that problem, and I did, then you really need this. Sid issued new textures some while ago, but unfortunately it wasn't known that his light was causing the problem until this week, and I never downloaded the new ones. I have also taken this opportunity to provide new AI with minor adjustment to levels for both Merrill and Lake Hood. These go into Scenery/World/Scenery and say yes to over-write.

| Fort Good Hope CZGH - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the second in a series of airfields that follow that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there are Tuktoyaktuk, Inuvik, and Fort McPherson, all posted. Fort Good Hope is at 268 feet ASL and on the east bank of the Mackenzie, 180 miles southeast of Fort McPherson and 100 miles west of Great Bear Lake. The town has a population of around 560, and the main sources of income are from the traditional trapping and hunting. The airport is a mile south of the town, and has almost 4,000 feet of gravel runway. There are scheduled flights to the town by North Wright; I also have two AI GA flights and a Buffalo Airways delivery trip that hops north and south from field to field.

| Lake St. Clair Harrison Township Coastline |
|
File Description:
Scenery corrects the coast line in Harrison Township located between Anchor Bay and L'Anse Creuse Bay near Selfridge ANGB on Lake St. Clair, Michigan. Also adds/corrects the Clinton River and includes land class files to make the area more true to life. Intended for use with my FS9 Selfridge ANGB scenery (Self2004.zip), but also works with the default.

| Humber Bridge and BAe Factory - Missing File |
|
File Description:
Apologies for ommiting this file from the main VFR file folder. Without it you would be missing the runway at Brough and all the included trees at the Humber bridge site. It is possible to use the same file from the NoVFR zip with just the loss of some trees that I had to remove from the river in the NoVFR version.

| CYOC - Old Crow - Yukon Territory, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Old Crow is in the far north of the Yukon Territory, Canada, 115 miles south of the nearest coastline and 30 miles east of the border with Alaska. The town has a population of less than 300 and the population are reliant on the caribou migration for an annual food supply replenishment. The fact that it is the only Yukon town that cannot be reached by car makes the airport important, and there are regular flights by Air North, the Yukon airline. They are included in the AI along with GA aircraft. I had several tries at matching up the Hawker Siddeley 748 with the right set of textures and I have included both here so that you do not have to go through the same torture. Thanks go to Hernan for sorting all that out, and for his textures. The airport is beside the town that is built along a bank of the Porcupine River. I have replicated the current shore line of the river that has cut a new channel at one end of the town, and I flattened the river as it was somewhat mountainous. The runway is gravel and just over 5,000 feet long, aligned 03-21. The terminal building is specific to Old Crow as I had photos, but the hangars are approximations and the village houses are only representational.

| PAMR (Merrill Field, Anchorage), 5HO (Hope), 9Z9 (Lawing) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This stand-alone combined V2 version of Merrill Field 2016 includes: windsocks, a parked Fedex 727 that was recently donated to the University of Alaska, some missing taxiway lights, and small corrections to the apron layout. It also includes Hope 5HO and Lawing 9Z9. The 2016 version of Merrill Field PAMR dealt with a spectacular malfunction reported by one recent downloader; see the two screenshots. Merrill Field is in Anchorage Alaska, between Anchorage International to the southwest and and Elmendorf Air Force Base to the north. It caters for general aviation and is the land equivalent of the Lake Hood float plane base, with fuel and numerous maintenance facilities, and several hundred parking spots for small planes. There are three runways, and the longest is 4,000 feet of 100 feet wide asphalt, the second 2,635 feet of asphalt 75 feet wide, and the third 2,000 feet of 60 feet wide gravel. The first two have runway lights. It is a controlled airfield with a relatively new control tower to cater for the numerous flights and to coordinate with Elmensdorf and Anchorage International, the latter also controlling flights from Lake Hood and the adjacent gravel strip Z41 (see my Lake Hood scenery). The gravel runway at Merrill Field is not connected with active taxiways to the rest of the airfield; this avoids you being ordered to land on it when flying a plane too large to do so. The enclosed layout shows the runways and the taxiways complete with their assigned letters to help you find your way around, but note that this shows the current gravel runway with its wandering magnetic headings, not the ones prevailing when I made Merrill. The signage on the airfield is not total. The main taxiways are signed and each entry to a runway has a runway sign, but intermediate taxiways to or from a runway are not; if you have turned off the runway at the first possible exit you could then whether it is R or T is, I suppose, irrelevant. Try not to turn onto Merrill Field Drive at an intersection, this is a road that runs through the field. There are almost 50 buildings on the field and threequarters of them have been modelled from photographs specifically for this scenery; some of them were modelled from photos that were of not very good quality, but when the photos were taken I wasn't thinking that I would ever model the field. Which explains why there are buildings I had no photos of at all, of any sort of quality.

| Bethel: St Mary's area airfields in southwest Alaska close to the Yukon River |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This presumes you have already installed Bethel PABE and Bethel Local Airfields. In the Yukon River area of Alaska to the north of Bethel there are small villages, served by flights from both Bethel and the nearer St Mary's PASM. St Mary's has a gravel runway like the other villages, but has a larger population and airport services including maintenance and fuel. This, plus the saving of an average one hundred miles of flying by a Cessna 205 when compared with flights from Bethel, means it acts as a distribution centre fed from Bethel by larger aircraft. Go to "http://vfrmap.com/" for free vfr maps of the area (see the attached). The ten village airfields included here are all to the north and west of St Mary's: Hooper Bay PAHP, Chevak VAK, Cape Romanzof PACZ (closed air force field servicing a radar station), Scammon Bay SCM, Sheldon Point SXP, Alakanuk AUK, Emmonak PAEM, Kotlik 2A9, Mountain Village MOU, and of course St Mary's PASM itself. With these airfields not everything is as it appears to be. For instance, Hooper Bay is not a new and modernised airfield, despite the asphalt runway and apron; the current version has dispensed with the aging asphalt and gone back to gravel. I have tended to go for the 2005 or so versions, which sometimes means a small runway amid or close to the housing; Kotlik was an early renewal for reasons of safety as much as anything else and has had (since 2003?) a new and longer runway located outside of the town. The second batch of airfields will be to the east of St Mary's.

| Talkeetna Village AK44 in Alaska, REVISED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Talkeetna is around 75 miles north of Anchorage in Alaska, on the east shore of the Susitna River where the Susitna, Talkeetna, and Chulitna rivers join. The town is where Don Sheldon started Talkeetna Air Services. His story is told in "Wager With The Wind" by James Greinar and is well worth reading for the descriptions of mountain flying. There are two airfields at Talkeetna, PATK with its long asphalt runway and Talkeetna Village AK44 in the town. This is AK44; measuring the space left for the runway between the river bank in the south and the curve in the road that marks the north end of the field there is just enough space for the 900 feet of runway that is described in the book. The result is a step back in time to 1973, when the second hangar was built. Neither hangar has survived to today.
