| Beaver Creek CYXQ in Yukon Territory, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Beaver Creek is located at mile 1202 of the Alaska Highway, just east of the Alaska/Yukon border. The populaton is around 100 and the main employment is with the Border Agency, the White River First Nation, or with local tourist lodges. The airfield is a mile north of the town and close to the Canadian border post, which is included in the scenery. It was built by Jack Stalberg in the 1960's, and I have no further information beyond the fact that he loved to fly. The airport serves as an "airport of entry", though it is restricted in hours of opening and in the size of aircraft that it can handle; up to a maximum of only 15 seats. The single runway is 3,745 feet long and 100 feet wide, gravel, aligned 13-31 in FS9, lit, and with vasi at both ends. Righthand circuits for runway 13. There is a 340 feet threshold displacement to runway 31, which is of course unmarked on a gravel runway. The terminal building was recently reclad; I don't like it, but they didn't consult me. The ai reflects the sort of traffic the airfield gets; ie brief paperwork stopovers for GA or small charter flights into Canada from Alaska, usually in the mornings.I have adjusted the local scenery terrain levels to remove adjacent hills that I believe do not exist in real life but are part of the Northern Canada terrain mesh that I have installed. If you do not have this mesh you may find that the scenery works fine for you without the API flatten that is included here. The airfield is at 2,129 feet ASL.

| Fort Simpson Island CET4 - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Simpson Island is the fifth in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, and then Wrigley, all posted. Fort Simpson Island is at 405 feet asl and on the west bank of the the Mackenzie, around 110 miles south of Wrigley at the junction of the Mackenzie and the Liard rivers. The town of Fort Simpson is on an island, and has a population of 1,250 or so folks. The Hudson Bay trading post was established here in 1822. The airport is right next to the town, and has 3,000 feet of gravel runway, though with a displaced threshold of 1,000 feet at each end (unmarked, on gravel) this is effectively 2,000 feet for landing. The Canada Flight Supplement lists the runway as being 100 feet wide; the gravel is definitely far less and the 100 refers to the width in the winter when you are landing on snow and don't care if there is gravel or grass underneath. There are no scheduled flights as these go to the nearby Fort Simpson CYFS. There is a mandatory radio frequency which is for both CYFS and CET4 and in this case I have set the "tower" to "manned" so you will report position and obey instructions. Runway 13 has right hand circuits. I have modified the Ultimate Terrain route for the Mackenzie Highway so that it remains on the west side of the river and does not wander randomly from one side to the other north of Fort Simpson.

| Airstrips of Scandinavia and the Baltic States |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Effectively an extension of my "Airstrips of Western Europe" project for FS2004, around 140 sceneries of small airfields in Scandinavia and the Baltic states, each enhanced with buildings, taxiways, parking spaces and aprons as appropriate, to further facilitate the generation of lightweight AI traffic in the area, without overloading the more major airfields.
Given the available comprehensive coverage of both Norway and Finland by other authors, and much of Denmark by myself in my earlier "Airstrips of North-West Europe" upload, this selection comprises mostly small Swedish and Baltic State airfields.
Unfortunately, due to the very nature of much of the area, some of these airstrips are just that, a grass/dirt runway on a flattened/mown area in the landscape with just an associated building or two. Nevertheless, they do perform the required function of providing sources for AI traffic. The very existence of those airstrips not included in FS2004 is referred to in various on-line databases.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe (where applicable) and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.
Please read the rest of this "blurb" in the included text file. There may be some details of note or interest.

| CPR5 - Woodstock - Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a south Ontario series. Woodstock is a town with a population of around 38,000, located 50 miles west of Lake Ontario. The airfield is 3 miles west of the town, with a single grass runway just over 3,000 feet long and 100 plus feet wide, aligned 05/23 in FS9 (in fact it is now 06/24 due to the magnetic north wandering off during the last 10 years). There have been at different times varying amounts of gravel mixed in with the grass on both runway and taxiway; the majority surface by far is grass and I have left it all as such, as there is no visually convincing way to mix the two without unreal sharp edges. The apron is on the northern side of the runway, and is now modified in shape to maximise the area available for crops. There are 10 "T" hangars and a small clubhouse in a single long building. There is no fuel, runway lighting, or taxiway or apron lights so usage is effectively restricted to daylight hours. To the east of CPR5 and on the edge of the town is a private airstrip with 2,800 feet of asphalt runway; I have added this as a visual reference, along with several large grain silos on the other side of the road. Hidden in plain sight amid the surrounding farmland, the first sighting of CPR5 is actually always of the adjacent and far more visible buildings just to the east of the apron, which are owned by a company that deals with everything to do with boats, up to and including fishing gear. These have been included. As ditches cannot be effectively duplicated in FS9 I have included some fences which do not exist in real life, to give some needed visual clues.

| Stewart CZST and CAC9 in British Columbia Canada, plus Hyder 4Z7 in AK |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Stewart is in northern British Columbia, around 115 miles north of Terrace, 70 miles northeast of the open sea, and 2 miles from the Canada/US border at the head of a fjord named the Portland Canal. Both Stewart and the nearby Hyder in AK thrived along with silver and gold mining in the early 1900's in the AK and BC interiors and in 1914 Stewart's population was over 10,000, but the current population is now less than 500. This scenery includes Stewart airport (CZST) and also Stewart floats (CAC9) plus Hyder floats 4Z7 which is within sight of Stewart but in Alaska. 4Z7 is based upon the three FSAddon freeware and payware Alaska sceneries, and without whichever one covers Hyder (I forget which) the float base will be isolated way offshore. The Stewart airport is adjacent to the town. There is a single runway that is unlit and just under 4,000 feet of asphalt aligned 18-36, with right hand circuits on 18; a brief view of the surrounding terrain makes it quite clear why. This version is for a period around 2010 to 2012 or so, before a second fuel tank was installed. There are no regularly scheduled flights to Stewart, only GA and charters, but the airport survives with the tourist trips. I have not forgotten the signage for CZST; there isn't any. There is also no clearly defined and fenced boundary to the airport, with a gravel apron beyond the asphalt that then fades to dirt and grass and a road. Hyder has no land connection to the rest of Alaska except through Stewart and a long road trip; the only direct link is by float plane to Ketchikan, 75 miles in a straight line. The AI includes this.

| Airstrips East of the Adriatic |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
A collection of about 60 small airfields in Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Serbia & Montenegro, many of which aren't featured in FS2004, each enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces, buildings etc. and aprons as appropriate, to fill in a few gaps to the east of Italy. Most of these airfields are relatively "rural", often little more than a shed and a grass runway in a field, but they allow the generation of lightweight GA AI traffic in this area and into the adjacent countries.Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the default roads etc. and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.As before, the files for each airfield can be easily identified by the ICAO code, even if the airfield names vary slightly, so you can pick and choose and mix and match to suit any sceneries you already have, should you so wish. There is no requirement for any other download. Each airfield will exist as a stand-alone entity should you only want a few of them. A few default airfields have had new ICAO codes allocated, in these instances I've provided files to remove the default scenery from the landscape, though the original airfield will still appear on the maps and menu.

| VAGO Goa/Dabolim Navy, India |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Dabolim Navy Airport, Goa - a busy Indian military airport also used for
civilian flights which is poorly provided for in Flight Simulator 2004. These scenery
files add taxiways, aprons, buildings and other airport features, so that you and
your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner.
Today Goa is a popular tourist destination, but it does not have its own civilian
airport. Instead the ever-increasing number of charter flights use the Indian
Navy's airport. But they may only land when the Navy's novice pilots are not
pretending the runway is a 11,000 foot aircraft carrier deck so civilian flights
have to be packed into short periods (before 9 am and 1 pm to 6 pm) and this leads
to the small terminal ramp being literally packed with aircraft at times. All kinds
of jets from around the world up to Boeing 747s call here, flown by European and
Asian operators like Air Deccan, Air India, Air Sahara, Arkefly, Condor Thomas Cook,
Go Air, Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Monarch Airlines,
Spicejet, SriLankan Airlines, Thomsonfly, Tiger Airways, Transaero and XL Airways
along with ATR turboprops on shorter flights with Air Deccan. The
Indian Coast Guard has a base here for its aircraft, and the Indian Air Force
carry out exercises from time to time with their fighter bombers. The Navy's
three-aircraft aerobatic team is also based here.
To cope with the increasing traffic, the airport is currently under development
and enlargement but details of this are not currently available so this scenery has
been created showing the existing arrangements. This, combined with the limitations
of Flight Simulator and its parking and taxying arrangements, means that it isn't
possible to realistically pack the aircraft all in at busy times. Any overflow of traffic will
find itself diverted to the Navy's parking area or even the aircraft museum.
However, my observations are that many of the schedules prepared for Flight
Simulator do not recognise the limited landing times and the traffic is spread
fairly evenly throughout the day, so such overflows should be infrequent.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.

| Koyukuk KYU in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Koyukuk is a small village on the northern bank of the Yukon River, around 5 miles east of where the river turns from north-south to east-west, east being upstream towards the distant Fairbanks. The mouth of the Koyukuk River that joins the Yukon is just to the east of the village. The population is now under 100 and living from fishing and the land. During the late 1800's the local population lived off the land and also by the spin off from gold mining in the same way as the nearby Nulato, but when in the early 1900's gold mining activities moved to Nome and Fairbanks local prosperity plunged. In fact, the village only became a permanently inhabited establishment in 1939, when a school was built. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 6-24 and 4,000 feet long with PAPI on the approach to 6. There is also a shorter and parallel grass runway that is only used in the winter snows by light planes that are on skis and without wheels. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Koyukuk is served by Wright Air from Fairbanks in the east and this is included in the AI provided with the post of Nulato. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 509 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.

| Lake Athabasca Airfields in Alberta & Saskatchewan Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are four airfields around or near Lake Athabasca, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Fort Chipewyan CYPY is at the southwestern end of the lake and the direct recipient of pollution that flows north from the Tar Sands to the south. The population of around 850 lives in one of the earliest European settlements in Alberta, founded as a trading post by Peter Pond of the Northwest Company in 1788 and named for the Chipewyan people who lived in the area. The airfield has one runway aligned 03-21 and 5,000 feet of asphalt, with PAPI at both ends. The landclass has been modified along with the grassed area of the airfield to create the village on the lakeshore. There are scheduled flights and GA flights in the AI for all four airfields. Charlot River CJP9 is on the northern shore at the western end of the lake, in Saskatchewan. It serves a nearby hydroelectric project and is used to transport technical staff in and out. There is no terminal building, only waiting pickup trucks and a generator building. There is one lit gravel runway aligned 04-22 and just over 3,200 feet long. Fond-du-Lac CZFD is on the northern shore in Saskatchewan, at the narrower eastern end. The population is around 900 and is a remotely situated "fly-in" village that has existed for over 150 years where "living off the land" is an accepted and normal way of life. The village has been created along with the airfield. The single runway is 3,800 feet of lit gravel aligned 10-28 with PAPI at the western end. Stony Rapids CYSF is east of the end of Lake Athabasca, on the Fond du Lac River. It has a population of around 250 and is only semi-connected to the rest of Canada by a rough gravel road. The runway is over 5,000 feet of gravel, aligned 06-24 with PAPI at both ends. The NorthSKlake is a flatten for an Ultimate Terrain lake that was at an incorrect elevation.

| Alaska South Slope 7; Kobuk OBU & Dahl Creek DCK |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which are serviced by Alaska Airlines, and from which local flights spread out. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel (not yet made). This is a continuation of the series for the flights from Kotzebue, 170 miles to the east where Kobuk is on the bank of the Kobuk River, and Dahl Creek is 2 miles to the north. Kobuk is a small village on the Kobuk River, like Ambler and Shungnak, but with a population of only around 150. The river is the reason for the existance of the villages as it served (and still does) as both a source of food and a transport route. The airfield is just beside the village, with a runway around 4,500 feet of lit gravel and aligned 09-27, with PAPI on both ends. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Kotzebue and routing east to Ambler, Shungnak, Kobuk, and then back again. The AI includes these flights along with Everts Air and GA. The FS9 airfield has been relocated by approximately a mile to the correct position, and the elevation accordingly adjusted. The Dahl Creek strip is publicly owned, with no maintenance and a deteriorating gravel runway that has not long to survive. This probably does not work properly without Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada as the village is now on the river bank. I am presuming that you have downloaded and installed Nome PAOM, along with the instructions on how to adjust Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada to get the most realistic results. If you are not making the UT adjustments then you may be seeing duplicated roads, as I am including new local dirt or gravel roads to connect village to airfield etc to get the best overall result; I will not be making alternate versions.
