| South Farallon Islands |
|
File Description:
These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands.
Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city.
Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey.
This island is actually a scenery object. As such it doesn't have a landable surface. Future versions will have a helicopter pad.

| The Grenadines Islands Airports V1.1 for use with Antilles 2004 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a self-contained version V1.1 of the airports in the Grenadines chain of islands that I have already posted, modified for use with the Antilles 2004 scenery. I originally made them for stock FS9. The list is Hewanora, Saint Vincent, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Union Island, Carriacou, and Maurice Bishop International at the southern end of Grenada. The notes for V1.1 contain some information that should have been included in the first posting. The replacement scenery bgl's include some fixes to Antilles 2004 sea levels where the sea was climbing a hill, additional town landclass for the area close to the airport in Grenada as St Georges now stretches out along the coast, and some revisions to my airports where I found that installing on a second computer gave a slightly different and unsatisfactory result, in particular TVSB on Bequia.

| J F Mitchell TVSB on Bequia in the Grenadines |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Bequia island is one of the northernmost of the group of islands known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, just south of St Vincent. Bequia is a small curved island island, 8 miles long and in general less than a mile wide; as a result the resident population is less than 5,000.
There are two main towns, Port Elizabeth (the capital, on the bay) and Paget Farm (close to the airport).
The airport is built on reclaimed land parallel to the beach along the south coast, just west of Paget Farm; the runway is 3,700 feet long. The terminal is fairly new, or appears to be, though it may have just been well cared for. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI.

| Fort Liard CYJF in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Liard is the seventh in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and then Fort Simpson Island and Fort Simpson, all posted. Fort Liard is at 708 feet asl and on the east bank of the the Liard River, around 130 miles south of Fort Simpson where the Liard and Mackenzie join, and about 25 miles from the borders with both British Columbia and the Yukon. The town has a population of about 560 folks.
The airport is next to the town, and has almost 3,000 feet of gravel runway. I have no information regarding when it was built but it may be from the WW2 time; the cleared and grassed area is long enough for a runway 0f 6,000 feet. There are no scheduled flights but North Cariboo Air have a base at the airport for local charters to support survey teams etc. and are almost an on-demand-scheduled airline. I have also added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is fuel available, but only by prior arrangement with North Cariboo. Right hand circuits for runway 20.

| Mary River CMR2 on Baffin Island in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a very early version of an airfield in Nunavut built to serve an iron ore mine some 100 miles south of Pond Inlet on Baffin Island. In 2004 the airstrip was just being built, with a very basic camp set up for the construction crew who then went on to develop the roads etc in the immediate area. The original plan was for an opencast mine, with ore being transported south on a new (and expensive) railroad link to a new port on the south shore of Baffin Island. This plan was later changed to a (much cheaper) road to Milne Inlet, north of Mary River. And there my story rests, as although production has now started I have no further information about the operating mine. Nolinor currently flies regular supply flights into the camp; the AI here is for the early days. The gravel runway is 4,800 feet long and 150 feet wide, aligned 124T-304T as all runway headings in the north are given as true rather than the unreliable magnetic, which would be 12-30. Runway lighting and PAPI was installed early on and is included here; signage is not and the apron is the early version.

| Lac des Plages grass strip in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lac des Plages is in Quebec on the north shore of the lake (and village) of the same name, some 55 miles northeast of Ottawa. It is an old grass strip and next to a tourist trailer park ("caravan" to the English). The runway is almost north-south and 2,200 feet long, and I went there to see if it is still in use. It is in good condition but there was nobody to ask (in early April) if it is still used and nobody turned up see if a plane had landed. I doubt if it is used regularly as there are no "wear" marks that show up on a grass strip, and the flare pots (actually old wheel rims with charcoal in them?) beside the runway could have been lit three months ago or three years ago, there was no way to tell. The single hangar is obviously no longer in use as a hangar, and the lack of a fence between the trailers and the grass strip would be a danger to pilot and strolling pedestrian alike. However, the runway still exists and here it is and as in real life the northern end slopes unevenly up.

| Komakuk Beach & Storm Hills DEW sites in Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the west of Tuktoyaktuk.
Komakuk Beach CWKB is not included in FS9 and is in the Yukon, only 20 miles from the Alaska border. It is, as the name suggests, close to the sea, and the gravel runway 3,600' by 125' has its western end almost on the beach.
There is no lighting and no signage and the airfield is officially listed as closed, but in fact is used during the annual maintenance and refuelling of the automated NWS (North Warning Station) close by and for any unscheduled servicing. This replaced the previous much older DEW station that was manned year round and had a lot more buildings.
Storm Hills CWSH is in the Northwest Territories, 43 miles south-southwest of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at 810 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk and has a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. It will show on a gps and it is 5 miles west of the distinctively shaped and large Parsons Lake. This too was not in FS9.

| Alaska South Slope 5; Ambler PAFM |
|
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, 130 miles to the east to Ambler on the bank of the Kobuk River. The next additions will be a few miles further east, Shungnak and Kobuk, and a small strip just to the north of Kobuk. Ambler is a small village (population now around 260) beside the Kobuk River, the river being the reason for the existance of the village as it served (and still does) as both a source of food and a transport route. The airfield is just north of the village, with two runways, each around 3,500 feet of lit gravel and aligned 36-18 and 09-27, with PAPI on 36. 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. There are revisions to Kotzbue to provide more parking.

| Edinburgh Island, FOX-2, Horton River, Igloolik, & Kimmirut, adapted for the FSGenesis 76m North Canada Terrain Mesh |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are replacement bgl's to convert five northern Canada fields for use with the FSGenesis 76m terrain mesh for northern Canada. The five are Edinburgh Island CWEI, the FOX-2 DEW line station, Horton River CWHR, Igloolik CYGT, and Kimmirut CYLC. These are not stand-alone, and the presumption is that you have already downloaded and installed the previously posted sceneries. This installation consists solely of replacing the existing scenery bgl's with the new. There will be further posts of northern airfields in groups of five, alphabetically, and observations regarding the amendments and any further corrections that are required would be welcomed.

| Manapouri-Te Anau Airport 2008, New Zealand. NZMO. |
|
File Description:
Welcome to the new Manapouri-Te Anau Airport, which underwent a 7 million dollar upgrade in late 2007. The airport is situated 3 nautical miles North-East of the town of Manapouri, and is nestled beside the Southland region's beautiful Lake Manapouri, in the lower South-Western part of the South Island of New Zealand.
The scenery reflects the upgrades done to the airport, and includes custom terminal buildings and signs (textures included). The scenery also contains an official GNZLAP AI Traffic file update by Charl Du Toit. Requires some EZ Scenery Object Sets (see INSTALL instructions for details).
