| Anticosti Island in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Anticosti Island is in the Gulf of St Lawrence, around 25 miles off the Quebec mainland coast. It is some 40 miles wide and 130 miles long on an east west axis. There are few urban areas and only one that can be described as a small town, namely Port Menier at the western end of the southern coast, with a population of under 1,000. There is a ferry service to the harbour.
The airport, Port Menier CYPN, is around 3 miles northeast of the town, with an asphalt runway aligned 11-28, 4,875 feet long and 150 feet wide with PAPI at each end. In 2010 (the approximate date of this scenery) a gravel runway was still visible at the eastern end of the field. This was no longer in use by 2010, except perhaps by small planes on skis in the winter.
The island, with its small population, small urban area, and no industry other than logging, has as a result a mainly undisturbed wildlife population. This has made deer hunting and fishing the main tourist activities, with one company (called Safari) having an exclusive licence to exploit large areas of mountains and rivers. Planeloads of hunters and fishermen are flown in on chartered Nolinor Aviation planes, landing at CYPN. There are a further two airfields in the eastern end of the island, and in 2010 Rivere-Aux-Saumons CTH7 had a 5,500 feet gravel runway, linked by road to a lodge area at the mouth of the river. This is the only lodge area that I have been able to locate, but there are others. To the south Riviere Bell CRB5 had at that time a gravel runway that was 3,000 feet long. This has been lengthened since then and both runways were recently (2021) asphalted.
If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com. The reason I am posting this now is that I discovered that my original post ended up in MSFS Original Aircraft instead of in FS2004 Scenery. Ooops!

| VAGO Goa/Dabolim Navy, India |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Dabolim Navy Airport, Goa - a busy Indian military airport also used for
civilian flights which 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.
Today Goa is a popular tourist destination, but it does not have its own civilian
airport. Instead the ever-increasing number of charter flights use the Indian
Navy's airport. But they may only land when the Navy's novice pilots are not
pretending the runway is a 11,000 foot aircraft carrier deck so civilian flights
have to be packed into short periods (before 9 am and 1 pm to 6 pm) and this leads
to the small terminal ramp being literally packed with aircraft at times. All kinds
of jets from around the world up to Boeing 747s call here, flown by European and
Asian operators like Air Deccan, Air India, Air Sahara, Arkefly, Condor Thomas Cook,
Go Air, Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Monarch Airlines,
Spicejet, SriLankan Airlines, Thomsonfly, Tiger Airways, Transaero and XL Airways
along with ATR turboprops on shorter flights with Air Deccan. The
Indian Coast Guard has a base here for its aircraft, and the Indian Air Force
carry out exercises from time to time with their fighter bombers. The Navy's
three-aircraft aerobatic team is also based here.
To cope with the increasing traffic, the airport is currently under development
and enlargement but details of this are not currently available so this scenery has
been created showing the existing arrangements. This, combined with the limitations
of Flight Simulator and its parking and taxying arrangements, means that it isn't
possible to realistically pack the aircraft all in at busy times. Any overflow of traffic will
find itself diverted to the Navy's parking area or even the aircraft museum.
However, my observations are that many of the schedules prepared for Flight
Simulator do not recognise the limited landing times and the traffic is spread
fairly evenly throughout the day, so such overflows should be infrequent.
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.

| Cyprus: Airfields plus landmarks and land class for all of Cyprus and AI |

File Description:
Cyprus, an island in the eastern Mediterranean. Without the benefit of Ultimate Terrain, which does not exist for Cyprus, the land class provided by FS9 stands out as hopelessly inadequate. I have added the extensive farmland and the larger towns and villages, plus the major roads. Four completely new airfields are included here, three in the north and one in the south. Ercan LCEN is in the north and functions as the airport for all of the north. It was recently closed for two years while a new terminal was built and the runway updated and an apron extended etc, and during that time Gecitkale LCGK functioned (barely) as the airport for the north. Gecitkale is now hardly used at all. The third northern airfield is Ilker Karter LCIK and this functions as the HQ base of the Turkish Army Corp in northern Cyprus. The last of the new airfields is Kingsfield LCRE, which is in the Sovereign Base area to the east of Larnaca and is now used for recreational purposes. Ercan is now undergoing further expansion with a new runway and a new terminal building and apron, so this scenery is for the period between 2010 to 2015. My set up of Cyprus already included a payware Larnaca by Aerosoft (now only 12 euros) plus a freeware Paphos, Nicosia, and Akrotiri; that was my starting point. Larnaca has been the major airport for Cyprus since the mid 1970's, with a huge tourist trade that peaks in the summer but which is year long (almost a million Brits visit every year, let alone the other nationalities). I have adapted this (gate sizes etc) to allow parking by a multitude of B737's and others. Nicosia is freeware (posted in 2010) and I have included modifications to reflect its now total disuse. Paphos is at the far western end of the island and freeware, and I have modified this to allow larger and military ai aircraft to function properly; the poster improved his first version to better cater for ai but I was unaware of this and I have stayed with my modifications. Akrotiri is freeware and includes a lot of library object input from MAIW. I have modified the parking somewhat and added further residential areas and munitions storage. The AI is based upon recorded take offs and landings in April, with some further additions in later months. At Ercan the visible gate numbers on the apron are as per real life, but the numbers within FS9 reflect the fact that planes are directed to gates at the centre of the terminal building and not at the far ends. Follow the pink line and obey ATC when it says taxi to gate number 2 even if it is visibly numbered 4.
