| VABP Bhopal/Bairagarh, India |

File Description:
Googly scenery for VABP Bhopal/Bairagarh, India - an enhancement to the
airport provided in Flight Simulator 2004 which is incorrect in many respects.
These scenery files enlarge the apron to a realistic size to accept scheduled
traffic, remove spurious taxiways (they were actually perimeter tracks!), and
add buildings and other airport features so that you and your "AI" traffic
can land, taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner.
This small domestic airport is served by Boeing and Airbus jets of Indian
Airlines and Jet Airways together with local flights operated by ATRs of Air
Deccan.
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.

| Indian Creek Farm Field CF07 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Indian Creek farm field (Re-upload WITH THE MISSING TEXTURES!) is in Ontario and southeast of Ottawa, less than two miles east of two other real-life farm fields I have already posted (Russell Farm, and Russellette Strip). The creek is just north of the runway in the trees, though it doesn't show in FS with or without Ultimate Terrain.
There is a grass runway 08/26 that is 2,100 feet long and has lights; the grass could be better (I mean there could be more of it) but the drainage is good. There is a large hangar that is right by the house and is heated (wow!); this is for the owner. There are also eight other hangars which are slightly basic and without doors, which means boxes over the wheels so the tires don't get chewed by the wild life and canvas hangar fronts for the winter. All the hangar buildings are modeled specifically for this scenery. The runway has been there for 22 years, and before that (though with a large gap between) there was a military grass strip as a relief field for nearby Pendleton .

| VAKE Kandla/Gandhidham, India |

File Description:
Googly scenery for VAKE Kandla/Gandhidham - a small domestic airport
in the state of Gujurat, India, for which little other than a runway is
provided 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.
Gandhidham is a small city about 5 miles from the seaport of Kandla, in the
Gulf of Kutch, and was developed in 1950 after the separation of Pakistan and
India left the key port of Karachi in Pakistan. The airport is served by daily
flights using turboprop aircraft of Air Deccan.
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 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.

| Embrun CPR2 in Ontario Canada 2012 Revision |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Embrun is in Ontario a few miles southeast of Ottawa, and southwest of my posted strips Russel Farm, Russellet Strip, and Indian Creek. It is a real airfield, used by Embrun Flying Club, and there is now fuel since the owner built a house on the field and moved in, and more hangars than there used to be. All in all a nice airfield with a grass runway 2,260 feet long, and in this REVISED version with a new windsock. There are electric cables strung along the road at the eastern end of the runway, marked by visibility balls; watch out for those. At the western end there are some old grain silos; these shouldn't be a problem, and if you are flying a taildragger give you something to aim at until the tail comes up. I did my first grass field landing and take off there when I was learning to fly, and it is just the right distance from Rockcliffe for a nice afternoon training flight. Look out for geese taking off from the fields to the west when you use 26; that departure from Embrun along with 50 geese was more entertaining than most.

| CYCQ - Chetwynd - British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Chetwynd (population around 2,600) is on the east side of the Rocky Mountains, the first town to be encountered when descending from the Rockies on highway 97. Previously known as Little Prairie, the town name was changed in 1962. The main occupations of the town are linked to forestry, fossil fuels, and transportation; there are railway lines north to Fort St John, east to Dawson Creek, and south to Prince George. The airport is on the southern side of the town, with one runway aligned 05-23, asphalted in 1975 and just under 4,500 feet long. There are no scheduled services, although a new terminal building was constructed in 2008, and the helicopter operations by at least two companies (oil and gas and medical evacuation flights) are the primary operations from the field. These are included in the AI, incorporating helicopter modifications made by Holger Sandmann so that they function properly as AI at an airfield. As an aside, landing like a plane and using the runway and taxiways is in fact exactly what a helicopter does at a normal airfield in real life; everyone does the same thing so that guessing is unneccesary.

| WIKD/WIOD Tanjung Pandan/Buluh Tumbang/H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin, Indonesia |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for WIKD/WIOD Tanjung Pandan/Buluh Tumbang/H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin,
Indonesia, based on Google Earth satellite data. It is a small domestic airport
serving the island of Belitung, located about 17 miles from the main town of the
island - Tandjungpandan. The island produces mainly tin and pepper but there are
some beaches that are generating tourist traffic too.
Flight Simulator 2004 has made no provision for any traffic at this airport and
this scenery seeks to redress the situation. The airport sees daily scheduled
traffic operated by Batavia Air and Sriwijaya Air.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on poor 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.
The ICAO code for this airport has recently changed from WIKD to WIOD. The included
files allow you to either retain the old code or optionally change the airport to
use the new one.

| VGCB Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for VGCB Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, a small domestic airport
serving the fishing town of the same name in the Bay of Bengal, to the
south of Chittagong. It boasts extensive sandy beaches which has allowed
tourism development. The unusual name comes from Captain Hiram Cox of the
British East India Company who was appointed Superintendent of the outpost
in the late 1700s. The airport, which was originally a Pakistan Air Force
base, sees domestic flights (mostly to/from Dhaka) operated by Hawker
Siddeley 748s, de Havilland Dash 8s and Fokker Fellowship aircraft of Biman
Bangladesh Airlines, GMG Airlines, United Airways and Zoom Airlines.
Flight Simulator 2004 has made no provision for traffic with only a runway
provided and this scenery seeks to redress the situation.
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,

| 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.

| LFBT Tarbes/Lourdes-Pyrenees, France |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Googly scenery for LFBT Tarbes - a normally quiet airport that just sees a few
domestic flights a day but bursts into life for those of the the Catholic faith to
participate in the pilgrimage to Lourdes. At these times it is served by a
regular stream of charter flights and the airport can handle aircraft as large
as the Boeing 747. The only scheduled flights are between here and Paris, normally operated by Canadair CRJ700 craft worked by Brittany Air International on behalf of Air France, but a huge range of charter operators - mostly from Italy, Ireland, Belgium, the
United Kingdom and Germany - may be seen here at times and although seasonal this
traffic represents 80% of the airport's entire annual activity.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on less-than-perfect
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.

File Description:
Googly scenery for HCMI Berbera, Somalia - an airport largely overlooked in
Flight Simulator 2004 with just a runway and tower provided at what is actually
the country's largest airport. At one time it had two active runways and a
strong military presence but today activity is limited to occasional
civilian flights. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons, buildings and
other airport features (and remove the non-existent tower that Microsoft
put there) so that you and your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park and take
off in a realistic manner. This desert-surrounded airport is served three times per week by Douglas DC-9 jets of Kenyan airline African Express Airways.
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.
