US North Cascades Mountains and Northwest Washington Coast

File Description:
The files in this package completely replace the FS default landscape of the North Cascades Mountains and coastal areas of northwestern Washington State. Between Bellingham and Arlington (N-S), Orcas Island and Lake Chelan (W-E) you can now enjoy your VFR flights with accurate locations of coastlines, lakes, rivers, streams, roads, railroads, and power lines, as well as land use type (landclass) and terrain (add-on mesh). Also added are the larger glaciers of the majestic North Cascades volcanoes and peaks as well as several forestry roads and clearcuts outside the National Park and Wilderness areas. Made mostly with Christian Fumey's "Ground2K4" and Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast". Fully compatible with the recent freeware LOD10 add-on meshes of the western US. Mesh and landclass files will work in FS2002 but not the special scenery enhancements.

Scenic Mountain Getaway

File Description:
A private cabin in a remote area of the Cascades sitting atop a plateau high on the side of a mountain. Offers a lakefront view ahead and a view of the vast green valley behind. There is a very small, makeshift airstrip only a few feet from the cabin marked with orange cones and dwarfed by towering trees at the landing end. There’s only one way in & out of this strip, a missed approach is not an option! Includes cabin, “airstrip,” 2 boats, picnic tables, bbq, a tool chest, storage boxes & crate, oil/fuel barrels, a small T-hanger, spectacular views and much more! Requires Rwy12 libraries and Holger Sandmann’s, “US North Cascades Mountains and Northwest Washington Coast” (us_wa_nc.zip). By, Kevin Yetman

North Cascades Bush Airstrips 4

File Description:
A final four airstrips in the North Cascades. I designed these mainly for my own entertainment, and the scenery is VERY basic - as you can tell from the file size - they're probably of interest only to 'fans' of my previous three North Cascades releases...and the small number of them still using FS9.

North Cascades Landscape Enhancements for Vancouver+

File Description:
This is a re-issue of my previously published landscape enhancement package for the North Cascades of northwestern Washington State, us_wa_nc.zip. These files have been edited and adjusted to be fully compatible with FSAddon's "Vancouver+ Part1" product and can be used with or without FlightOne's Ultimate Terrain USA or Canada/Alaska installed. Also included are batch files to remove incompatible flatten files from Richard Goldstein's Georender 4 "Darrington Muni", published by LAGO. Please note: don't use this package unless you have a registered copy of "Vancouver+" by FSAddon!!!

Bella Coola Valley Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements

File Description:
One of the most spectacular watersheds of British Columbia's Midcoast, the Bella Coola Valley looks pretty boring in its default FS rendition. These files provide a LOD10 (38-m) mesh made from CDED1 0.75-arcsec data, a new landclass file, and accurate placements of lakes, rivers, streams, and roads. Also includes the glaciers of the Monarch Mt. Icefield and several forestry roads and clearcuts along the side valleys. Made with Ground2K4 based on Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery.

High-resolution 76-m (LOD9) Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements for the Southern Canadian Rockies

File Description:
Not simply an add-on mesh, these files include many scenery enhancements for the southern Rockies of British Columbia and Alberta. Coverage extends from Cranbrook to Calgary, and Hinton to Edmonton (N48.9-53.4 W112.3-116.3). The mesh source data are 3-arcsec (~90-m) Shuttle Radar (SRTM) files, compiled at LOD9 (76-m) resolution. All lake elevations (!) have been adjusted to eliminate the problems with the default lake data and to better fit the new terrain mesh. In addition, the Transcanada Highway/Icefields Parkway corridor in Banff National Park, from Canmore to the Hwy 11 junction, has been completely re-made, with dozens of alpine lakes (including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Lake O'Hara), accurate transportation network, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, lake corrections and landclass replacements will work well in FS2002.

Terrain Mesh of Glacier National Park

File Description:
New and updated scenery enhancements for the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia and parts of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. They require an existing installation of my files bcmesh9d.zip and/or bcmesh9e.zip. Scenery coverage follows the Trans-Canada Highway from Banff National Park to west of Revelstoke (~350km), with accurate transportation network, rivers and lakes, hydro dams, ski hills, glaciers, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Also, similar enhancements to the parks and towns of the southern Kootenay, Selkirk, and Monashee mountains. The mesh source data are 0.75-arcsec (~23-m) CDED files, compiled at LOD10 (38-m) resolution. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, new lakes and land/waterclass replacements will work well in FS2002.

Scenery Enhancements for the Innsbruck (LOWI), Austria

File Description:
New roads, railroads, streams, river, landclass, and waterclass for the Innsbruck area, Austrian Alps. Based on 30-m and 10-m satellite imagery. Not a finished product but rather a "Sunday afternoon" project :-) to illustrate the visual improvements that can be achieved with a few hours of time commitment and the help of the wonderful Ground2K4 by Christian Fumey. The scenery looks best with one of the SRTM-based add-on meshes. I have included my Ground2K4 source code so that interested users can improve on and expand the project area (requires a separate download of my pre-processed satellite imagery).

Himalayan Peaks Volume 2 - Mt. Everest photoreal textures

File Description:
The photoreal textures in this package cover an area of about 100km (E/W) by 60km (N/S) featuring Mt. Everest and several neighboring peaks and are based on a Landsat 7 ETM 15-m multispectral image taken in October 2000. The relatively low resolution of the image makes for pretty grainy textures up close and I did not add any autogen, seasonal textures, or flattened water bodies. Nevertheless, I do believe the photoreal textures do a much better job at showing the grandiose alpine features of this area - rock faces, snow fields, glaciers, and bare ground - than generic landclass textures possibly can. The textures are placed for a best fit with our Mt. Everest area LOD10 terrain mesh, fs_him_01.zip, but probably work OK with the default LOD8 mesh of this area or third-party terrain mesh files.
