| PAHT - Amchitka - Aleutians, Alaska - USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Amchitka is near the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 180 miles west of Adak, and was not included in FS9. There is no small town on Amchitka Island, which is why it was used for atom bomb testing after being closed down as an Air Force base. There are three runways from the 1940's, the largest of which is aligned 07-25 and just over 10,000 feet of overgrown asphalt 300 feet wide. The second runway is aligned 15-33 and 6,000 feet (also 300 feet wide) and the third is 05-23 and 5,000 feet. The whole eastern end of the island is crowded with old munitions storage areas and other military paraphernalia, including old quonset huts; some of those are included here. There are also some old buildings still standing but on their way to becoming piles of old wood or rust, and some of these are included. There is almost no visual information available about Amchitka; even Google Earth has snow obscuring what buildings still exist and where they are, so much of this is at best only approximate apart from the two large hangars. There are no markings, lights, signage, or a control tower.

| CYSM - Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Smith is just north of the border between Alberta and Northwestern Territories, midway between Lake Athabasca to the southeast in (mostly) Saskatchewan (80 miles) and Great Slave Lake to the north west (90 miles). The runways all used to be larger, and while I don't know the history it looks as if it is ex-military and these are the remains of what were once 10,000 feet of asphalt. The main runway is now 11/29 and 6,000 feet long, and the secondary one is 1,800 feet of mostly gravel. There is an airline based at the field, Northwestern Air, and fuel (both 100LL and JA-1) is available at a self service point so long as you give it a credit card to read while you fill. The town of Fort Smith is two miles east of the airfield, on the bank of the Slave River and where there are some rapids that require a portage to get around them. Before aviation came along the river was a major route to the north and all those furry animals, which was why the Hudson's Bay Company established an outpost there in 1872. Today it has a population of 2,400 and the main activities are government administration of much of the Northwest Territories, education, and tourism.

| HLLQ El Beida/Labraq |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Googly scenery for HLLQ El Beida/Labraq - a joint civilian and military airport
near the north coast of Libya that 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.
The city of Al Beida, or Al Bayda' or El Beda or Al Baidhah (depending on who
you are) has achieved its own airport status by using the end of a dead runway
at Labraq Air Base. In turn the airbase has contracted to use the opposite end
of the runway as its base of activity. The city is served by jets of Libyan
Airways and turboprop craft of Air One Nine and Ghadames Air Transport.
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. [File re-uploaded at request of AVSIM]

| FTTN Am-Timan, Chad |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Am-Timan (ICAO: FTTN, ICAO: ANC), also known as Am
Timan, Am Timane, Am Timmane, Umm Timman - take your pick! It is a small
airport serving a small city of the same name in South-Eastern Chad,
almost exactly centred in the continent of Africa.
The airport was upgraded in 1971 by the French Foreign Legion to allow
military transport craft to land, but it still retains a sand/dirt
strip. The airport is served today by a couple of flights a week using
Fokker Fellowship jets of Toumai Air Tchad.
The entire area is very dry and sandy but for some reason it is depicted
in Flight Simulator as green and lush. Microsoft have only provided a runway
at this airport and this scenery seeks to redress the situation so that you
and your "AI" traffic can use the airport realistically.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high quality
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 exactly like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,

| Kindley Field Bermuda 1955-1962 |
|
File Description:
Kindley Field, on the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, was built as a joint RAF/USAAF facility during the Second World War. Subsequently the RAF area became the civilian terminal while Kindley Air Force Base was operated by the USAF between 1948 and 1970. It was primarily a staging post between the US and Western Europe for land-based planes unable to cross the Atlantic non-stop, very like Ernest Harmon in Newfoundland and the civilian Gander, and like Harmon it closed when the jet age made such bases redundant. Prior to that it hosted no combat units, but the 59th and then 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadrons, the 'Hurricane Hunters', were based there, and also from 1 February 1956 to 15 June 1963 the 303rd ARS Stratotankers were present to support Strategic Air Command and other refueling requirements. After 1970 it became a US Navy facility primarily concerned with tracking Soviet submarines, and was closed at the end of the Cold War. This scenery represents Kindley between 1955 and 1962 and has custom made scenery by Dan French and ai military traffic by Al Von Pingel to add to the downloadable California Classic civilian and MATS traffic available at Tom Gibson's site. Like Harmon and Gander, it was one of the most important airfields of its time.

| VAOZ Nashik/Ozar, India |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Ozar, a small domestic airport located in Nashik (or
Nasik), 111 miles from Mumbai (Bombay). Nashik is a fast-expanding city in
the Maharashtra state in the Western Ghats located on the western edge of the Deccan
peninsula and is known as the Wine Capital of India or Grape City.
Owing to its close proximity to Mumbai, the airport has not proved popular as
the journey by taxi, bus or rail is not much greater after taking into account
check-in times etc. Air Deccan recently withdrew all flights from Ozar and as
far as I can establish the only airline now serving Ozar is Jagson Airlines,
using Dornier 228 turboprops. There is also a military presence at the east
end of the airport.
Flight Simulator 2004 has only provided a runway at this airport and this scenery
seeks to redress the situation so that you and your "AI" traffic can use the
airport.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high quality
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 exactly like the real thing.

| LIMN Cameri, Italy (v2) - closed Army area Babini |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This scenery is complementary to the Cameri_V2's main one. It has been revised with complete new ground that solves the previous flickering problems, built up mainly with existing objects and through Generic Building system.
Historical Infos: the 31th Armored Brigade 'Curtatone' that was born after the reorganization of the Italian Army on 21th October 1975 and was incorporated into the 131th Armored Division 'Centauro', part of the 3th Corpo d'Armata of Milan, that also regiment the Mechanized Brigades 'Goito' e 'Legnano'. It got his name in honour of the Curtatone's historical battle, fought on 29th May 1848, during the first independent war between the royal Italian army and the Austrian one. The 'Curtatone' Brigade was placed with all their units in Piemonte area, as Novara, Vercelli and Bellinzago Novarese (this scenery place). On the November 1st 1986, the Curtatone Brigade was dissolved following the cleaning of the divisional level, and in its place the 31th Armored Brigade 'Centauro' was created.
Contents: several buildings by Generic Building system, few others by existing objects, one GMax custom made; military vehicles inside the area, as trucks, jeeps, cars and an armored cars patrol; lights on patrol zone and all over the boundaries; entrance gates by GMax, boundary by fences for the complete areas, connecting with the airport one; several trees all over the scenery. You can find separate further Cameri complementary scenery as airport Museum

| Lechfeld, v2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airbase, located about 35 NM in the west of Munich (Bavaria, South Germany),
is the homebase of JaBoG32 riding the Tornado PA200. The German flight check
department GMFS, using C-47 in the early days and thereafter Hawker-Siddeley 748
as well as HS-125 for periodic recalibration of the radar- and navigational
equipment at civil and military airfields, was also on the base till 1994.
After the final decision was made not to establish commercial air traffic although
it had been discussed for a long time period, I reworked the airbase completely.
Among other objects, 38 hardened shelters for combat aircraft have been emplaced.
The included AI-Package contains: Lockheed F-104E GAF, Panavia Tornado PA200 GAF,
Mikoyan MiG-29 GAF, Douglas C-47 GAF, Canberra B.20 GAF, Boeing E3A Nato, Boeing
KC-135 USAF and an aircraft.cfg for the MS Learjet 45.
Several F104's, Tornadoes and MiGs perform touch and goes in the local area,
a Nato E3A leaves IFR to Geilenkirchen (ETNG), an USAF KC-135 routes IFR to
Decimomannu (LIED), a Canberra B.20 (was used for high altitude validations) goes
IFR to Cologne (EDDK) high in the sky and a Learjet shoots IFR to Bremen (EDDW) per
attached flight plan.
Lago's FSE is required in order to see most of the emplaced buildings /objects.
Lets get ready to rumble, but keep in mind, don't argue with the flight checkers
if they are on duty.

| CYQS - St Thomas - Ontario, Canada *V1* |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Thomas is a town in Ontario around 12 miles south of London and less than 10 miles from the north shore of Lake Erie, with a population of just under 40,000. The airport (actually more of an airfield, as there are no scheduled flights) has three runways typical of an ex-military field, with one remaining hangar from RCAF flight training times in the 1940's, and the east-west runway now extended to just over 5,000 feet. The main presence at CYQS is a company in the crop seeding and spraying business over a wide area of Ontario; as a result there are several AT-802 planes based there which are included here as AI planes and also as parked scenery objects. To the west of the original apron area there are added taxiways to cater for a herd of new individual hangars wearing orange and white uniforms. There is fuel, runway lighting on 09-27, taxiway lights, visitor parking on the edge of the apron, and maintenance companies in the large hangars, plus a flight training group. A small terminal building sits quietly between hangars, waiting. Ditches along the road and around much of the airfield provide separation, which is why the fences are not continuous. I presume that the warning balls on the electricity cables were found to be necessary to persuade pilots not to land there; probably ski planes in winter, they tend to land anywhere so long as it has snow on it. This V1 version includes previous updates.

| Fort Smith CYSM in Northwest Territories, Canada Revised |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version to remove an incomplete static Beaver reported by Graeme (thanks Cobber) and to include other modifications that I made for my own version since posting the original; different taxiway lights, revised aprons, and in particular the revised AI that I mentioned in the original 2011 post. This is complete and can be installed as-is, or used to modify an existing post by changing the original folder contents. Fort Smith is just north of the border between Alberta and Northwestern Territories, midway between Lake Athabasca to the southeast and Great Slave Lake to the north west. You might stop there when flying between Yellowknife or Hay River to La Ronge or Saskatoon. It looks as if it is ex-military and these are the remains of what were once 10,000 feet of asphalt runways. The main runway is now 11/29 and 6,000 feet long, and the secondary one is 1,800 feet of mostly gravel. There is an airline based at the field, Northwestern Air, and fuel is available at a self service point. The town of Fort Smith is two miles east of the airfield, on the bank of the Slave River and where there are some rapids that require a portage to get around them. Before aviation came along the river was a major route to the north and all those furry animals, which was why the Hudson's Bay Company established an outpost there in 1872.
