| Hong Kong Kai Tak 1963 |
|
File Description:
This is Kai Tak airport as it was in 1963. Kowloon Bay has yet to be filled in, and the runway is only 8405 ft long. Includes mesh files by Holger Sandmann and charts of the era scanned by Chic Eather. Navaids backdated to the early 60's, except the IGS for runway 13 is included although not actually installed until 1974. Curving approach lights will help you find the runway. Chek Lap Kok airport has been removed. The IGS and other approaches created by Jim Vile. The AI aircraft will follow the curved approach to runway 13 in good weather or bad. Please note that Jim Vile has produced a modern version of this airport (kaitak98.zip).

| Vancouver Default Object Corrections for Ultimate Terrain |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The default shorelines that come with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 are inaccurately placed. Consequently roads and other features are misplaced. Ultimate Terrain (R) from Flight One Software corrects this, however the Microsoft default objects are then misplaced. This software corrects the Lions Gate Bridge, Canada Place, Harbour Centre, Burrard Bridge, Science World and BC Place Stadium. Further it excludes a number of generic MS buildings that are now placed in False Creek. For developers, the XML code is included. Users may delete this file. Ultimate Terrain required. By Jon Patch

| "Himalayan Peaks" LOD10 Mesh, Volume 3 - Namcha Barwa |
|
File Description:
Highly detailed terrain mesh of the Namcha Barwa area, N29°-31° E94°-96°. The files in this package are based on Shuttle Radar (SRTM) Version 2 data but with many of the void areas, especially the most significant sections, filled with elevation data generated from topographic maps by Jonathan de Ferranti. While Jonathan's work is unrelated to flight simulation he kindly gave me permission to compile his data for use in FS. The result is a wonderful improvement in detail and accuracy over any existing mesh file, freeware or commercial, based on SRTM or DTED data alone. Due to the large area of the Himalayas I've compiled the source data as two separate series: the "Himalayan Peaks" series covers prominent mountains and ranges in higher detail and locally overrides any existing LOD9 terrain mesh. In addition, a LOD9 "base mesh" series covering the entire Himalayas will be available for those who do not yet have an add-on terrain mesh of these beautiful mountains.

| Port Hardy CAW5 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the sixth in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Port Hardy CAW5 is in a sheltered inlet on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, close to the town and just 6 miles northwest of the Port Hardy airport. There is fuel (both JetA and 100LL) and also oil available, and the base acts as a refuelling centre for the other float bases in the neighbourhood. The dock is one-sided as the northern side borders a shallow area that is in fact exposed at low tide, as is most of the inlet to the south of BC Packers (adjacent to the float base, to the south). The parking along the dock is maximised by backing up each plane by hand so that it is close to the one behind it; this is not possible to replicate with AI in FS9 (watch the video). Watch out for the log boom on the other side of the inlet, it is there to protect fish farm "pools". The AI involves several Beavers and Otters, as listed in the AI folder. At Port Hardy all the AI works for both landing and takeoff for all of the planes, no matter what is the wind direction. There is a pic of the Supplement Port Hardy page, showing the two take-off and landing areas plus the third area that is to be used for take-off before 7am. All of these float bases can be installed together in the same folders, with a saving in duplicate textures. So a series called BC Floats (or whatever you want to call it) or individually installed float bases; your choice. The next in the series was suposed to be Sullivan Bay, another floating marina, but I digressed to Port Hardy and Port McNeill (next to be posted). The two hotels by the nearby marina are included. One of them gave me weird problems and I gave up on achieving the correct shape.

| LTFD - Edremit Korfez Airport |
|
File Description:
Edremit is a district in the coasts of Aegean Sea, linking to Balýkesir province, in the Marmara region of TURKEY.
Korfez Airport(LTFD) is located in between Kaz mountains and the gulf of Erdemit.
Edremit was founded in BC 1443 with the name of Adramyteion.Here was the most important settlement at that time.
Geographical characteristics of Edremit are determined by Kazdaðý
(Goose Mountain) which enclose the location in north direction.
The South part of Kazdaðý that commands the Gulf is ripped by innumerable deep valleys.The streams sourced from Kazdaðý give life to Edremit Gulf by passing canyons, flowing over waterfalls.

| Squamish CYSE replacement with AFCAD file |
|
File Description:
This is a replacement for my previous post, this time with the missing AFCAD file, and thanks to Richard for pointing this out. Squamish is around 40 miles north of Vancouver, at the top end of a BC fjord, past Bowen, Gambier, and Anvil Islands. There are 2,400 feet of asphalt runway 14/32, and watch out for the noise abatement procedures that either take you around the town on a much enlarged circuit and back to 14, or keep you away from the town with a slant final to 32, turning left 20 degrees when on short finals. There is no fuel.

| Canadian Mountain Parks Pack |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Scenery - This file creates 12 new airports in six of Canada's National Parks (Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho, Glacier and Mt Revelstoke). Required is Holger Sandmann's excellent BC mesh, which is the reason for this file in the first place, and Lago's FSE demo file. Pack designed for low level visual 30 mile scenic flights with some tourist attraction additions (Takakkaw Falls, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Morainne Lake, Spiral Tunnel etc). The strips are ficticious, but the names and places are real. There is parking for you to add your own AI traffic as well. There are also improvements to other area strips (mainly lights and taxiways). Six flights included.

| Smithers CYYD in British Columbia, Canada, Updated |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Made in December 2018 as an update of the original post of 2014, to correct the apron markings, revise the AI, increase the number of GA parking spots, and most importantly to correct the runway lighting by adding the missing approach lights. This scenery is complete and can be installed as-is without first installing the 2014 version. Smithers is in northwest BC, 60 miles east and a bit north of Terrace, and directly east of the southern border of Alaska. The town has a population of 5,500 and is set in a north-south valley between mountains, the most impressive of which is Hudson Bay Mountain to the west. The airport is to the north of the town and has a single runway of 7,544 feet, aligned 33-15. The main user is Central Mountain Air, who are headquartered in Smithers and have a large maintenance hangar there next to the terminal building. The airport has scheduled flights by Central Mountain Air, Jazz, and Hawk Air, which are in the AI. The AI provided here is a new CYYD traffic bgl; in total the AI also includes a Dawson Creek traffic bgl (recently revised and posted) plus a Terrace traffic bgl (which will shortly be revised and posted). An Electra of Conair (who are the largest operator of fire fighting planes in BC, and have re-fill tanks in Smithers) is included and also a HS 748 of Air North.
