| Kaltag KAL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kaltag is a small village on the west bank of the Yukon River, around 65 miles east of the coast at Unalakleet and about 40 miles south of where the river turns from north-south to east-west, east being upstream towards the distant Fairbanks. The population is just under 200 and living from fishing and the land. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 21-3 and just under 5,000 feet long. 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. Kaltag is located on the edge of three different airlines coverage areas, and is served by Bering Air from the northwest, ERA from the southwest, and also by Wright Air from Fairbanks in the east. These are included in the AI.
A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 507 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.

| Air Saguenay floatbase Lac Sebastien CTD3 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of five sceneries around Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada, to the west of the St Lawrence River and close to Bagotville air base. Air Saguenay are a mainly float plane company that operates hunting and fishing flights to company-owned outposts in northern Quebec, with a fleet of almost 30 aircraft including 11 de Havilland Otters and 14 Beavers as of the last count. Their HQ float base is on Lac Sebastien, which is 30 miles east of the far larger Lac Saint-Jean. There are screenshots of this scenery and others in the series that follow this post in the Lac Saint-Jean QC folder. This scenery includes in the AI an Air Saguenay turbine Otter on floats, which has been modified to operate as an AI floatplane with a new config file. The ai also includes other GA float planes. There are also planes listed that will be required only for the future posts in this series, and the relevant textures etc will be provided at the date of the posts. Some of the Beaver AI planes will only be available if you already have the aerosoft Beaver installed. There are HTAI planes used as AI in this series, updated by Nick Tselepides, and the float planes for this part of the series are included here, Cessna 185's.

| CYOC - Old Crow - Yukon Territory, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Old Crow is in the far north of the Yukon Territory, Canada, 115 miles south of the nearest coastline and 30 miles east of the border with Alaska. The town has a population of less than 300 and the population are reliant on the caribou migration for an annual food supply replenishment. The fact that it is the only Yukon town that cannot be reached by car makes the airport important, and there are regular flights by Air North, the Yukon airline. They are included in the AI along with GA aircraft. I had several tries at matching up the Hawker Siddeley 748 with the right set of textures and I have included both here so that you do not have to go through the same torture. Thanks go to Hernan for sorting all that out, and for his textures. The airport is beside the town that is built along a bank of the Porcupine River. I have replicated the current shore line of the river that has cut a new channel at one end of the town, and I flattened the river as it was somewhat mountainous. The runway is gravel and just over 5,000 feet long, aligned 03-21. The terminal building is specific to Old Crow as I had photos, but the hangars are approximations and the village houses are only representational.

| Mountain View CPZ3 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is Mountain View, a small RCAF airfield at the eastern end of Lake Ontario on Prince Edward Island, some 40 miles west of Kingston. Mountain View is used for training during the summer months, and part of this training is for C-130 crews, who practice landing on rough or unprepared landing strips. The crews are based at Trenton, which is a large base 10 miles to the northwest on the mainland. There are (or were, I haven't seen it recently) numerous parked and ancient fighter planes such T-33's and Canadair Tutors; these could also have possibly been used for summer training or perhaps were just stored. Last summer there were only two hangars left standing; in 2002 there were five. In real life you would be on the lookout not only for C-130's but also (at certain times during the summer) for parachutists and also gliders. This airfield is one that you will fly over and not land on; I confess that I have cheated with the length of the 06L-24R gravel "practice" runway, so that it became possible for the FS version of a touch-n-go with a C-130 to be completed without using the grass. The aerial photograph shows the new "practice" gravel runway under construction.

| Chignik Lake A79 and Port Heiden PAPH - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are two villages in Alaska, in the peninsula that is the start of the Aleutians. Both are east of Perryville, Chignik Lake by 30 miles on the south side of the peninsula and Port Heiden by 75 miles on the north coast. Both are served by Grant Aviation government-subsidised regional flights from King Salmon. Chignik Lake has a population of around 70. There are two buildings on the airfield, but passengers still wait in their car for the plane to arrive as there is no terminal building as such. The runway is 3,300 feet of gravel aligned 08-26, as are so many in this area. Port Heiden is on the north shore of the peninsula, and the population is around 100. FS9 showed the town as being large enough to house 10,000; the new landclass here reduces this to the actual 40 or so houses, one and a half miles south of the airport. The roads are still the FS9 originals, which are approximately in the right place but are brightly lit at night as I was too lazy. The main occupation is fishing. There are buildings on the airfield (mostly old, except for a garage building) but passengers again wait in their cars for the plane to arrive. The two runways are both gravel, and are 05-23 of 6,200 feet, and 13-31 of 4,400 feet.

| Aklavik CYKD in the Northwest Territories, Canada Revised |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version of Aklavik replaces the previous version so delete all previous installation elements. There is also for Inuvik replacement AI, additional texture, and replacement scenery bgl; this presumes you have already installed my revised post of Inuvik. There is also for Tuktoyuktak additional textures, and replacement scenery bgl's; this presumes you have already installed my 2012 post of Tuktoyakyuk.
Aklavik is a town of 650 or so inhabitants 120 miles inside the Arctic Circle and on the West Channel of the Mackenzie River delta. It is 40 miles west of Inuvik. There are two airlines serving the town on a regular basis and one is Aklak Air, operated by Kenn Borek. Aklavik village has not been changed since my previous post, but the airfield now has the correct terminal building.
The Inuvik replacement AI involves flights to Aklavik and Tuktoyaktuk and the texture and replacement bgl's are for gates that I forgot to include before.
The Tuktoyaktuk scenery now has a barge carrying the prefabricated new terminal for Grise Fiord, plus other items for the installation work. Northern terminals are prefabricated and delivered either complete or in flat-pack form to reduce construction time on site to a minimum. There is a note explaining why the terminal building is on a barge instead of being installed at its destination!

| CYGQ - Geraldton - Northern Ontario, Canada * Updated * |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my last scenery post; read the text note in the zip. This greatly modifies my previous (2009) post of Geraldton, and has more purpose-made buildings. The new version is stand-alone and does not require you to have previously installed Geraldton; it interacts with Dryden and Sioux Lookout for AI flights. Geraldton is in northern Ontario, 70 miles northeast of Thunder Bay and 50 miles east of Lake Nipigon. The town is on the northern shore of Kenogamisis Lake and strung out northwards to the east-west railway line. The population is around 2,400 and the origins are in mining. The airport is a further 3 miles or so north, just south of Hutchison Lake. CYGQ has just over 5,000' of asphalt aligned 08-26; I think there used to be a second runway in a similar arrangement to the one at Dryden, but that was long ago. At the eastern end of the runway there are hangars that turn their back on an irregularly-shaped and seemingly unplanned apron; this is because it was unplanned. There was a large addition made so that fire fighting CL 415 planes could be parked there in the summer, adjacent to tanks containing foam and chemical additivies. The AI (available with my Sioux Lookout and Dryden posts) includes CL 415 flights.

| Fort Simpson CYFS in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Simpson is the sixth in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and Fort Simpson Island, all posted. Fort Simpson is at 555 feet asl and on the west bank of the the Liard River, close to Fort Simpson Island and where the Liard and the Mackenzie join up. 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 new(er) Fort Simpson airport is just over seven miles south of the town, and has 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. It may be from the WW2 time, as it seems there was originally a second runway which has now totally disappeared, There are scheduled flights by First Air and Air Tindi, plus I have added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. 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. There is fuel available. I have added the ferry at the crossing of the Liard River just south of the field.

| Backcountry airfields for 19m terrain mesh in Idaho USA series 2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These backcountry fields are for use with the FSGenesis 19m mesh of Idaho; they almost certainly do not work without it. The six airfields are a follow-on series to the previous four, ranging from Stanley that has a village and airfield buildings of one sort or another and even a length of asphalt runway, to Bruce Meadows that has two bathrooms. The full list from northwest to southeast is Bruce Meadows U63, Garden Valley U88, Warm Springs Creek 0U1, Stanley 2U7, Graham U45, and Smiley Creek U87. These airfields compensate for the loss of airfield flattens after the removal of AF917150 and AF917160, but there remain some now-unflattened airfields I have not included here, whether for reason of the impossibility of realistically creating it (as in the case of Flying B) or just a total lack of anything interesting about it. There may be some more follow-on fields that are new, to the north of the original four; these six are all to the south. The landclass files either change forested areas, as in Bruce Meadows, or add a village, as in Stanley. Although these are stand-alone, the presumption is that you have already installed the original four for use with the FS Genesis 19m terrain mesh, and there is a correction for Big Creek where I missed spotting a lack of flatten in one area.

| SKMD Medellin/Enrique Olaya Herrera, Colombia |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Medellin/Enrique Olaya Herrera (ICAO: SKMD, IATA: EOH). This
centrally located airport, named after the 1930 president of Colombia, was once
the only airport for the city of Medellin but most international flights are now
concentrated on the new international airport inconveniently situated 24 miles
away. Nevertheless the airport is very busy with domestic, charter and private
traffic and is regularly served by scheduled services of AerolĂnea de Antioquia,
AIRES, Easyfly and SATENA. There are many charter operators based or serving
serving this airport, including Aexpa, Heliandes, Sarpa, Helicol and TAC; these
are mostly smaller aircraft or helicopter operations.
Remarkably for such an important airport, Microsoft have only provided a runway
at this airport in Flight Simulator 2004 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,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.
