| Arctic Runway Signs in the "Northern Domestic Airspace", Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are scenery bgl's to replace those previously posted for Cape Dorset, Gjoa Haven, Igloolik, and Whale Cove. All of these airfields are within what is marked on the chart as "Northern Domestic Airspace" and their runway signage is not given as a magnetic bearing but as a true bearing. This is because at those latitudes, close to magnetic north, the magnetic field is more vertical than horizontal and magnetic readings become unreliable. Planes report their course as a true course, and fly at a height that reflects their true course instead of their magnetic course. The picture shows the runway sign for Qikiqtarjuaq CYVM (which used to be called Broughton Island) which I am working on right now, and I realised that my training was so far behind me that I had forgotten all of the above. The boundary line of the two air spaces is not a straight line; the furthest south it reaches is on the west coast of Hudson Bay just north of Churchill. To the east it passes through the southern end of Baffin Island, and to the west it is north of the coast at the Alaskan border, and there is an illustration included here.

| Komakuk Beach & Storm Hills DEW sites in Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the west of Tuktoyaktuk.
Komakuk Beach CWKB is not included in FS9 and is in the Yukon, only 20 miles from the Alaska border. It is, as the name suggests, close to the sea, and the gravel runway 3,600' by 125' has its western end almost on the beach.
There is no lighting and no signage and the airfield is officially listed as closed, but in fact is used during the annual maintenance and refuelling of the automated NWS (North Warning Station) close by and for any unscheduled servicing. This replaced the previous much older DEW station that was manned year round and had a lot more buildings.
Storm Hills CWSH is in the Northwest Territories, 43 miles south-southwest of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at 810 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk and has a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. It will show on a gps and it is 5 miles west of the distinctively shaped and large Parsons Lake. This too was not in FS9.

| Coal Harbour CAQ3 float base in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is number eight in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Coal Harbour is in a sheltered cove off Holberg Inlet on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island, close to the village and 10 miles southwest of the Port Hardy float base. There is 100LL fuel and oil available. Due to the deep fjords that run into Vancouver Island from the west coast Coal Harbour is actually closer to the east coast than it is to the west coast. The tortuous route in through Quatsino Sound and Rupert Sound shelters the waters of Holberg Inlet from the stormy seas of the west coast, and fishing boats take advantage of this. The floatplane dock is to the south of the large (and old) hangar, adjacent to the southern end of the fixed dock where the ramp bridge descends to the floating docks. The video makes it clearer. The AI is a further adaptation of the CF36 AI and involves Beavers and Otters as listed in the AI folder. Due to the surrounding hills there may be some interference with AI aircraft, depending on the wind direction, though I have watched succesful Beaver and Otter landings. Amid the hills there is a very large hole in the ground to the east. The village name suggests it may have been for coal but though in fact there was a coal mine, that was a much smaller and unsuccesful venture; this particular scene of enthusiastic digging was for copper, until 1996. The main claim to fame of Coal Harbour was that it was the last whaling station in North America, using the buildings that were part of the RCAF float plane patrol base during WW2. One downloader reported a texture problem with Port McNeill, to which we found a solution. As he was the only person to email me I am going to presume that nobody else had the problem.

| Hartley Bay replacement landclass - BC Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a replacement landclass bgl for the Hartley Bay float base area, which was posted as part of BC Canada West Coast Fields and Floats in July 2008, and downloaded by over a thousand people since then. Which means that for over 6 years hundreds of people knew that the object textures for Hartley Bay were not showing up, but did not tell me. Find where you installed the original download, find the folder with the same name as in this new download, and replace the existing with the new. All object textures will now show, and so will the landclass.

| Arnold Ranch (8Q9) Fresno, California. Scenery |
|
File Description:
This is a scenery upgrade for Arnold Ranch (8Q9) (37CN Real World code) Fresno, California. Number ten in the series. As the strip has just a small concrete pad and a hanger at one end, there is not much in the way of scenery. The default landclass is all to pot and has most of the area as some kind of scrubland instead of the agricutural land google shows it to be. A small town to the west is misplaced, plus some workings to the south. This update addresses the landclass faults to some extent as well as the airstrip.

| The Oaks Airfield |
|
File Description:
The Oaks Airfield is south west of Sydney and is the home of Ultralight flying
for Sydney enthusiasts and is a hive of activity most weekends. A number of
ultralight flying clubs use the airfield as well as some GA aircraft. I got a
"fix" on the Lat(S34* 05.13')/Lon(E150* 33.47') and altitude of 900ft using one
of the Sydney Ultralight Flying Club member's GPS.
I have also included a "fictional" AFCAD2 file which will make the airfield show up in fs9
and so you will have the ability to create flightplans to and from the airfield.

| Allegheny County Airport |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Scenery-Allegheny County Airport (KAGC), West Mifflin, PA, is the fifth busiest airport in Pennsylvania. The number of operations-139,000 takeoffs and landings per year-outpaces several airports that handle commercial or scheduled flights in Pennsylvania. The airport serves as the primary FAA designated reliever airport for Pittsburgh International Airport. In this role the airport supports a high volume of business and corporate-related activity. Created with FSDS2, the scenery requires AFCAD2, Traffic Tools, Rwy12 textures. Lago's FSE was also used. Nova, NovaGold and NovaSim textures are included with download. By John B. Loney, Jr.

| Reichenbach LSAZ |
|
File Description:
The virtual airfield includes several buildings such as a hangar, a restaurant, a club house, military shelters, a playground and stationary cars. The surrounding area of Reichenbach has been populated with autogens: From the lake of Thoune down to Gemmi pass South of Kandersteg, and up until Adelboden to the West. Moreover, there is a high-voltage power line from Gemmi pass to the Gürbe valley, which should help during visual flight.
The scenery has been designed in Gmax and optimized for the mesh of Switzerland Professional. In order to save system performance, a series of LODS have been created.
