| Shea Field CSF7, Casselman Ontario Canada |

File Description:
Shea Field is a recently-licensed privately-owned grass airfield in Ontario, 25 miles southeast of ottawa, and south of Highway 417. When I visited I was greeeted by the horse, peering around the end of it's stable shed at the corner of apron and runway. I walked over to the house and rang the doorbell and the dog said hello and that exhausted all social contact. The hangar is large but I have no idea what is inside. There was one plane parked on the apron with a skirt of uncut grass so presumably it hasn't flown for a few months. It was a Citabria in what looked like good condition; I don't have a Citabria to park there so I put a Cub. My favourite building is the old barn, leaning to one side as if seeking support for an elbow. To the north there are some farm sheds and grain silos, and to the northwest a tall mast; avoid it. To find the field without a gps follow the 417 and look for the tall mast just west of a major highway wiggle.

| Carp CYRP in Ontario Canada (updated October 2011) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version further updates the post of 2006 and the 2009 update with more bespoke buildings for the west GA apron plus the revised fuelling area, and corrected surroundings with large forested areas and a modified airfield grass shape. This is a stand-alone version and does not require you to have downloaded and installed the previous posts; this REPLACES those versions. Carp airfield is fifteen miles west of Ottawa and two miles south of the town of Carp. There are two runways, 10/28 which is asphalt and almost 4,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, and 04/22 which is gravel and 2,000 feet long. The airfield has a fairly large population of general aviation residents and is slowly expanding under new ownership. This version models the large hangar beside the terminal, the "Touch'n Go" aviation warehouse that has opened more recently, and the ramshackle collection of hangars and sheds that make up Westair, the maintenance facility. The nearby pagoda-roof flight school building has in fact now been demolished, but I like it too much to do that, at least until something else has been built on that space.

| 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.

| Frozen Canadian & USA Rivers & Lakes Revision |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This "freezes" all lakes and rivers for winter flying and means they can be landed on with skis or wheels; it is meant for low level flying rather than high level jet flights. This edition is complete in itself and now really covers all of Canada and parts of the USA along the border, including large parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. It is reversible with an "untick" in the FS scenery library. The revision is the addition of frozen sea in the area of Baffin Island (where I and Sid & Pete have recently posted all of the Baffin Island airfields) as I missed this area last time. Sorry about that. I have spent some time making sure that the sea and the inlets along the coast in the south do not get frozen too, and also some of the lakes that are close to the coast and rarely get cold enough to freeze over. The Great Lakes do not usually totally freeze, but this is an either ON or OFF modification and partial freezing cannot be convincingly simulated, so I went for total ice. Along the north shore I went for the peak of the winter with sea ice all the way to the permanent polar cap; this is not totally realistic as there is usually a partially open lead along the coast, but as with the Great Lakes...... It will work without Ultimate Terrain, but as UT is what gets all the lakes and rivers there and in the right place (except in the far north) it is obviously much improved with UT. The pics show Rockcliffe in the winter with the frozen Ottawa River for real and in FS for comparison; without UT the river would not be in the right place.

| Edson CYET in Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Edson is 120 miles west of Edmonton in Alberta, on Highway 16. It was originally named Heatherwood, but that was changed to honour the vice president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway when it was made the local railway centre. It thrived, and when Highway 16 was upgraded it thrived even more. Coal mining and industry connected with timber are the main employers of a population of around 8,500. The airport is at the western edge of the town at 3,041 feet asl, with a single lit runway 6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide aligned 07-25, with displaced thresholds and VASI at each end. The two joined aprons are at the eastern end of the airfield, with fire fighting chemical tanks beside the western one which is reserved in the summer months for the Lockheed Electra Air Spray planes; these are included in the AI. The eastern apron is for visiting charters and GA planes, next to a small terminal building. There is further parking on the grass for resident planes next to a large gravel car parking area and clubhouse. As the Air Spray planes would not be fighting fires in the winter there are in fact two editions of the AI, one for the summer fire fighting season and the other for the winter freeze. Use whichever one is appropriate for your flight time; I never strayed far from Ottawa in the winter so for me it is the summer one only. While making this I came across something new in the shape of some incorrectly installed edge lights in the stock fs9 version that refused to be deleted. There is still an "Edson TOP" folder which would normally be used to delete all unwanted taxiway edge lights, but in this case it deletes only some of them. Apologies, but there is nothing more that I can do and so I suggest you use this in daylight only.
