| Diavik Diamond Mine CDK2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Diavik Diamond Mine is located about 200 miles NE of Yellowknife in Canada's Northwest Territory. It a relatively new facility, having been begun production in 2003. The only means of access are by air or ice road. (If you are a James Bondian super villian plotting world domination, Diavik would be a great place for your secret underground headquarters.) This scenery is completely scratch built. In addition to the airstrip itself, I used Google Earth pics to create a photo ground texture of the adjoining facility. The buildings of the main processing complex are very simply modeled, as is the large open pit mine.
This scenery was designed for use with Ultimate Terrain and was not tested in the default scenery. (As far as I can tell, Ulimate Terrain does not affect the area around Diavik, so it should work OK.) It may or may not work in FSX.

| Talkeetna Village AK44 in Alaska, REVISED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Talkeetna is around 75 miles north of Anchorage in Alaska, on the east shore of the Susitna River where the Susitna, Talkeetna, and Chulitna rivers join. The town is where Don Sheldon started Talkeetna Air Services. His story is told in "Wager With The Wind" by James Greinar and is well worth reading for the descriptions of mountain flying. There are two airfields at Talkeetna, PATK with its long asphalt runway and Talkeetna Village AK44 in the town. This is AK44; measuring the space left for the runway between the river bank in the south and the curve in the road that marks the north end of the field there is just enough space for the 900 feet of runway that is described in the book. The result is a step back in time to 1973, when the second hangar was built. Neither hangar has survived to today.

| Canyonlands National Park, The Maze-North, Utah, Photo-Scenery (FSX too) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a re-upload of a package that was corrupted during the crash of the AVSIM library. The Maze is the wildest and least accessible district of Canyonlands National Park. It is a perplexing jumble of canyons that has been described as a '30 sq miles puzzle in sandstone'. The Maze covers the area west of the Green River and north of the Colorado River. Getting to most locations requires multiple hours of 4WD road driving. Hiking trails usually require multi day backpack trips.
Too strenous? Let's go flying! Checking out the area from an eagles perspective is certainly a stunning experience. The colors are awesome and the landforms are of breathtaking beauty. The scenery extends my Arches National Park scenery to the west and brings you another 3.500 sq km in 4.7m/pix quality. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Frans, Francois and James. Thanks!

| Eagle County (KEGE), Glenwood Springs (KGWS), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
To explore this region depart from Eagle County Regional Airport (KEGE) which is a popular regional airport used in winter to transport skiers to nearby Vail. Northwest of the airport you can see the pit gypsum mine of American Gypsum which produces a variety of wallboard products. When you fly to the west and along the Eagle River, you soon pass its confluence with the Colorado River. Further west you can fly along Glennwood Canyon and finally reach Glennwood Springs where the Colorado meets the Roaring Fork River. Here you can turn south and fly direct Glenwood Springs Airport (KGWS) which lies south of the city. This scenery brings you another 3.500 sq km of beautiful Colorado in 4.7m/pix quality.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_SouthWest2.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Alain and James.

| Attawapiskat CYAT in northern Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Attawapiskat is on the north bank of the river of the same name, around 7 miles upstream from where the river meets the west shore of James Bay at its mid point. The top end of the Bay is around 140 miles north, Moosonee is around the same to the south, and the east shore 140 miles to the east. The town has a population of around 1,600, although this varies with the seasons as hunting and the traditional way of life on the land is still important to the Cree-speaking inhabitants. The airport is just to the north of the town with a gravel runway almost 3,500 feet long, and I have included the recently installed PAPI. The Canada Flight Supplement does not say anything about fuel being available so I presume the tanks beside the apron are no longer in use. There is also no apron lighting, unless it has been installed recently. There are flights by Air Creebec and by several other smaller airlines and I have included both Air Creebec and Wasaya; their textures are available for download and the planes are as listed in the AI folder.

| Peawanuck CYPO / Winisk CYWN - Northern Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Peawanuck is on the bank of the Winisk River, 23 miles upstream from where the river empties into the Hudson Bay just west of James Bay. It has a population of around 240, and was established in 1986 when the original settlement (Winisk) at the mouth of the river was destroyed by a flood. The airport is on a bluff in a corner of the river at 171 feet ASL, with a gravel runway just over 3,500 feet long and aligned 11-29. There is only basic runway lighting, with no ILS, VASI, or PAPI; there is also no apron lighting, or fuel. Service is provided by Air Creebec with connector flights to Moosonee and Timmins, and on to Montreal. A search of their timetable did not provide any information regarding timings but I made the AI flight from Timmins a daily one; it is probably only once or twice a week. There is also a daily private Cessna from Moosonee. Winisk, at the mouth of the river, has another gravel runway which is over 6,000 feet long. There is also a large hangar and to the north the remaining buildings and fuel tanks etc of a Radar Control site which was closed in 1965 after only 7 years of use.

File Description:
Steamboat Springs (KSBS), Flat Tops Wilderness Area, Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
The Flat Tops Wilderness Area, which is the second largest wilderness area in Colorado, is named for its many flat topped mountains that are clearly visible from the sky. Trappers Lake, located in the north of the area inspired Arthur Carhart, a US Forest Service official, to initiate a plea for Wilderness preservation as early as 1919. Finally in 1975, three years before his death in 1978, the Flat Tops were designated a wilderness area. No wonder he found the area so entrancing: Behind Trappers Lake loom majestic volcanic cliffs, and beyond them a vast subalpine terrain reluctantly yields to alpine tundra with an average elevation of about 10.000 feet. More than 100 lakes dot the country above and below numerous flat-topped cliffs. Steamboat Springs is an internationally known winter resort destination.
To explore the scenery depart from Steamboat Springs Airport (KSBS) or Yampa Valley Airport (KHDN) and head south. High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_West2.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. Thanks to Joop Mak for providing custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html .

| Kuujjuarapik CYGW in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kuujjuarapik is in northern Quebec at the southern end of Hudson Bay, 90 miles east of James Bay and on the north shore of the Great Whale River; Kuujjuarapik means Small Great River in Inuktitut. Once again the Hudson Bay trading post that opened (in 1820) was the catalyst for the establishment of first a seasonal encampment and then the beginnings of a town in the late 1930's.
The two adjacent villages that now form the town have a total population (mainly Cree and Inuit) of around 1,500. When the Quebec hydo-electric project was under construction in the early 1980's a large portion of the Inuit population voted to move to a new settlement called Umiujaq (my post) 100 miles to the north.
The airport is to the west of the town, between the town and the sea. The gravel and sand runway (which I have made as gravel as there is no convincing way to mix the two) is 5,500 feet long, 150 feet wide, and aligned 17/35, which is approximately parallel to the coast. There is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA, delivered by truck. The AI included here is for Air Inuit and Wasaya, with Air Inuit making three flights per day plus a fourth flight by the Air Inuit Twotter C-GNDO that is based at the airport, and private flights by various aircraft. Yes, there really is a golf course to the south of the airport, and the last thing to note is that Kuujjuarapik has a mandatory radio frequency and that taking into consideration the scheduled flights I have included the tower radio frequency that makes this a controlled airport in FS9.
