| Alaska South Slope 2 - Noorvik ORV in AK US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Kotzebue is in the far northwest of Alaska, and these are villages to the north and the east of Kotzebue on the South Slope of the Brooks Range of mountains. There will be further additions. Noorvik is a small village (population now around 670) on the bank of the Kobuk River, around 50 miles east of Kotzebue. The new airfield is 1 mile south of the village; there is a short runway immediately south of the town that is now closed but is not marked as such and appears to be usable; this will still be listed in FS9 when you are presented with a choice of runways but is not connected in any way to the new airfield so ignore it. The new ORV runway has 4,000 feet of lit gravel aligned 06-24. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Kotzebue and routing east to Noorvik, Kiana, Ambler, Shungnak, Kobuk, and then back again. The AI includes these flights (eventually) plus perhaps an Everts Air cargo flight and GA.

| Alternate Ultimate Terrain Roads |
|
File Description:
ALTERNATE ULTIMATE TERRAIN ROADS
by Adnan 'Reload006' Arif (BEV team)
Being an autogen designer in the Birds Eye View team inspired me to manipulate whatever I can to make FS9 look as realistic as possible. This is an alternate set of concrete and asphalt highways and local roads, color matched exactly to photographs of roads and highways, and with more realistic local roads. THESE WILL ONLY WORK WITH ULTIMATE TERRAIN, and you need to have purchased Ultimate Terrain USA/Canada to make these work.
INSTALLATION :
They are simply installed into FS9/texture. The default 'bright' UT roads are also included in case you`d like to revert back to them.
The screenshots I have included are all with BEV summer textures. (www.flightsim-bev.com). I strongly advise getting Ultimate Terrain if you dont have it already, as it will greatly enhance your road/river/water bodies network . Also, if you change a setting in Ultimate Terrain, you will probably have to reinstall these roads. They should work with UT settings of 'residential roads on' or with 'main highways and roads only' .
Enjoy!

| Alaska North Slope 5 - Nuiqsut PAQT |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Nuiqsut is a mainly Inuit community on the west side of the Colville River, around 20 miles south of the coast, and with a slowly declining population of around 420 or so. The airfield is just south of the town and has a gravel runway 5,000 feet long and aligned 04-22 in FS9. The airfield is the only year-round contact route to the rest of the world, though there are plans for a permanent road. The AI includes daily passenger flights early and late in the day, cargo deliveries, and some GA. It seems that the only photos I had of the airport were either of the old building or were not of Nuiqsut at all. The only pic I have seen (recently, which is why I now have doubts) of the new building is insufficient to model it, so I am sticking with the old or maybe incorrect version.

| Colorado Lakes Project II |
|
File Description:
This project features the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and adds over 300 highly detailed lakes to the central portion of western Colorado. Three reservoirs, named for corresponding dams on the Gunnison River, form the heart of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Panoramic mesas, fjord-like reservoirs, and deep, steep and narrow canyons abound. Blue Mesa Reservoir is Colorado's largest body of water, and is the largest Kokanee Salmon fishery in the United States. Morrow Point Reservoir is the beginning of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and below it is Crystal Reservoir.
These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh.
All lake information was projected from satellite imagery and compiled with a beta version of Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast" utility. Much thanks to Holger Sandmann and Jim Keir for their help and advice on interpreting the satellite data properly.

| Shaktoolik 2C7 in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Shaktoolik is a coastal village 35 miles north of Unalakleet, with a fishing population of around 250. It was originally established inland on the Shaktoolik River but moved to the coast in 1933. Due to storms and erosion it was again moved in 1967, to its current location 2 miles further north. Confusingly, what is called "New Shaktoolik 38A" was in fact only "new" in 1967 and has since been replaced by "Shaktoolik 2C7" further north, built on wider land with a longer gravel runway of 4,000 feet. 38A is still visible but unusable, with the sheds being used for other purposes. There are flights from Unalakleet, included in the AI here as a further modification to the Bethel PABE AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 500 and 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. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airport (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

| CYQU - Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Grande Prairie is at 2,195 feet asl, 65 miles southeast of Dawsons Creek, 90 miles southwest of Peace River and around 60 miles east of the Rockies. The town has a population of 55,000 and growing. The airport is just to the west of the town and was originally a military base, built during WW2. The two runways are 07-25 and 11-29 and when one is the active runway then the other is used as a taxiway. AI in FS9 doesn't like this, and just stops at the first hold short without ever reaching the active runway. I have found a way to overcome this and AI will now use taxiway A and whichever runway is inactive to feed to and from both ends of the active runway. The vertical red tanks are for de-icing fluid; de-icing is carried out before take-off in the winter. The industrial area to the southeast is now larger than I have made it, but I kept it to this minimum size to keep frame rates down. All the buildings are modeled specifically for CYQU. The AI includes Westjet, Air Canada Jazz, and others as listed. The GA AI uses only FS9 standard aircraft.

| RPLL Version 8 (Ninoy Aquino Internal Airport, Villamor Airbase, Sangley Airbase and Metro Manila) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Welcome to the latest version of the RPLL and Metro Manila scenery for FS9. This scenery is a a total rework of my previous scenery and contains a more accurate depiction of the entire metropolis. Over 4 years in the making and is the last upgrade for FS9.
This release coincides the first release sometime August of 2006. This scenery covers an area of around 1,400 sq. km. which includes major cities around Metro Manila: from Taytay in the east to Sangley in the west; from Alabang in the south to Novaliches/Caloocan-Bulacan boundaries in the north.
Sangley (RPLS) Airbase has also been redesigned (only the runway and taxiways). The entire Manila Bay coastline from Sangley to Novaliches has been recreated, adding fish-farms, correct coastal shape, breakwaters, reclaimed areas and marine ports. All major roads and river/water systems are also covered in this scenery.
The RPLL airport scenery contains 90 percent of the existing structures plus noticeable buildings around the vicinity including the new Newport City, Libingan ng mga Bayani, Fedex HQ and MIAA offices; and warehouse around rwys 06 and 24. 80 percent of the structures are individually textured. Also included in the package is Nestor d'Angelos Metro Manila buildings.

| PAAQ - Palmer Muni - Anchorage, Alaska - USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Palmer PAAQ is in Alaska, some 40 miles northeast of Anchorage on the north side of Knik Arm and beside the west bank of the Matanuska River. It is for both GA and commercial aircraft. There are two apron areas, north and south, separated by the east-west runway. The north apron is for the Forestry Service planes and for resident GA tie-down places and hangars, along with maintenance facilities; the southern end of the north apron is for itinerant aircraft. The south apron is almost entirely for commercial companies and again maintenance. The main runway is just under 6,000 feet long, aligned L16-R34 and asphalted and lit, as is the parallel taxiway A. There is also a shorter and parallel runway that is grass and which receives no winter maintenance. The second main runway is 3,600 feet long and aligned 09-27, asphalt and lit and with a parallel taxiway B, also lit. The airport is undergoing a process of upgrading, which explains the varied colours (and age) of resurfaced taxiways. There are adjustment bgl's for two other neighbourhood airstrips, Toad Lake 24AK and Wolf Track 9AK8, which I just discovered buried in nearby holes in the ground; I also revised their runway surfaces.

| Cape Hooper CWFH and FOX-4 DEW Line Station in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cape Hooper is around 60 miles north of Kivitoo (FOX-D) and 140 miles south of Clyde River CYCY on the northeast-facing coast of Baffin Island. FOX-4 is still in use as a new and mostly-unmanned North Warning System site was established there in 1990 before the DEW line station was closed in 1991. Actually the DEW line station was not "closed" as such, they just stopped using it. The site of FOX-4 is on the top of a bump at the end of one of many long promontories that stick out into the Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenland, close to the far eastern end that is called Cape Hooper. There is a gravel runway to the west, down at 65' ASL; it is only just over 3,000' long and most material was delivered by sea to the beach at the southern end of the runway. The runway is signed as
"324T - 144T" as this is Northern Domestic Airspace where all runways are signed "true" and not "magnetic"; it is 013/193 magnetic with a huge magnetic variation of 48.9 degrees in this area where the magnetic field is mostly vertical, and so useless for navigation.

| Mackenzie CYZY in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Mackenzie is around 120 miles west of Peace River and the BC/Alberta border, at the southern end of Williston Lake. The lake is 135 miles long and the population of the town is about 3,500; those figures illustrate typical Canada, a huge area enjoyed by the few. The main occupations relate to timber and mining in some form, plus tourism (in particular winter sports tourism). The airport is 2 miles southwest of the town, with no regular scheduled flights but it is not unusual to find Central Mountain Air there delivering either charter passengers or freight. The single runway is aligned 16-34 and 100 feet wide lit asphalt that is just over 5,000 feet long, with (in 2010 or so) an additional 1,500 feet of gravel. There is PAPI at both ends of the asphalt. The largest operation based at the airfield is a helicopter company, at the northern end of the apron. There is a "mandatory frequency" of 123.5 which is a Canadian invention; you MUST have a radio. There is no control tower at the actual airfield, and if or when there is no response from further afield then you announce your intentions etc. In FS9 there is no way to "switch off or on" the monitoring of a MF radio frequency so you will find that this one is always silent.
