| RAF Burtonwood 1955-1957 |
|
File Description:
Burtonwood was for many years the most important air base in the United Kingdom, at least in terms of its size and the amount of traffic which passed through it. Built for the RAF but taken over by the USAAF during the war, it played a major role in that war and then in the US commitment to the protection of Europe during the Cold War. The main east-west runway was extended to 9,000 feet while the others fell out of use, and a new control tower and terminal building opened in 1955. Then disaster struck, when the site began to suffer from mining subsidence. MATS left for Mildenhall in 1958 and by the following year the USAF had gone completely, although Burtonwood continued in use by the US Army until the early 1990s

| City of Edmonton |
|
File Description:
Addon scenery project for City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, for FS2004. This is a FREEWARE project, created by Brian Sturton, and with special thanks to Joel Gill and Her Majesty the Queen for the included rail.bgl file. Transforms the generic dull scenery around CYXD airport, into a detailed replica of the actual city. Features include a detailed representation of the downtown area, along with most other major structures that would be visible from the air; reflective "glass" buildings; more accurate rendition of West Edmonton Mall (compared to my earlier offering); reworked landclass and elevation values, which permit a nicer rendition of the river valley, as well as the urban areas south of the river; repositioned river sections; bridges; refineries to the east of the city; outlying towns; major roads, and modifications to CYEG and CYYC.

| Israel SRTM 90m Mesh Ver. 1.0 |
|
File Description:
Finally, VFR/CVFR pilots are able to enjoy the tall peaks of the Hermon mountain, the Golan heights and the ravines of the Western slopes of the Carmel mountains, the road to Jerusalem and the sub-sea level features of the Sea of Galilee and the famous Dead Sea.
The Negev Desert can finally show off its fascinating topography which includes, among others, the Small Crater and Ramon Crater whose features are clearly visible from space. There are many canyons, ravines, dry streams and other dramatic ground landscapes which can make a Negev Dessert VFR Expedition quite exciting. The trip could end at Eilat. Now you can see this well known touristic resort, bordered on the West and East by the tall and rugged mountains which have been among its more typical features.

| CYQR 2015 - Regina International Airport - Groome Field |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Regina International Airport can trace its history back to 1919, when Regina airport became the first registered "air harbour" in Canada. This virtual model of CYQR represents the airport as it was in spring of 2015. CYQR airport is the gateway to southern Saskatchewan, Canada and is situated in Regina, which is the provincial capital. The airport is served by Air Canada, Air Canada Express, Westjet, Westjet Encore, West Wind Aviation, Express Air, Sunwing, Air Transat, Cargojet and Delta Airlines. The airport is named for Roland Groome, who was the first registered pilot in Canada.
This scenery was constructed with GMAX and includes detailed models of all buildings on the airport property. The scenery also includes the major landmark buildings of the City of Regina and those on the Runway approaches.

| CPR5 - Woodstock - Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a south Ontario series. Woodstock is a town with a population of around 38,000, located 50 miles west of Lake Ontario. The airfield is 3 miles west of the town, with a single grass runway just over 3,000 feet long and 100 plus feet wide, aligned 05/23 in FS9 (in fact it is now 06/24 due to the magnetic north wandering off during the last 10 years). There have been at different times varying amounts of gravel mixed in with the grass on both runway and taxiway; the majority surface by far is grass and I have left it all as such, as there is no visually convincing way to mix the two without unreal sharp edges. The apron is on the northern side of the runway, and is now modified in shape to maximise the area available for crops. There are 10 "T" hangars and a small clubhouse in a single long building. There is no fuel, runway lighting, or taxiway or apron lights so usage is effectively restricted to daylight hours. To the east of CPR5 and on the edge of the town is a private airstrip with 2,800 feet of asphalt runway; I have added this as a visual reference, along with several large grain silos on the other side of the road. Hidden in plain sight amid the surrounding farmland, the first sighting of CPR5 is actually always of the adjacent and far more visible buildings just to the east of the apron, which are owned by a company that deals with everything to do with boats, up to and including fishing gear. These have been included. As ditches cannot be effectively duplicated in FS9 I have included some fences which do not exist in real life, to give some needed visual clues.

| PABA - Barter Island (Kaktovik) - Alaska North Slope 8 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Barter Island is a DEW station Air Force base 310 miles east of Barrow and 75 miles east of Bullen Point. The runway is just under 5,000 feet of gravel and aligned 06-24 on a spit of land at the northeast corner of the island. The big hangar is still there on the apron. Most of the DEW buildings have now been removed but this scenery is dated around 2005 when there were more of them still there. Between the DEW station and the airstrip is the village of Kaktovik, with a population of some 300 mainly traditional Inupiat. The village was first pioneered when the DEW station was built in the 1950's and grew as the years passed. The FS9 error discovered when making this scenery was that FS9 had mistakenly "placed" Kaktovik at Bullen Point (not physically, it was just wrongly stated as the local town); this is now only partly corrected as FS9 refused to accept my Bullen Point revision but allowed me to associate Kaktovik with Barter Island. Kaktovik is definitely on Barter Island. I could also mention that the runway was in the sea, but there isn't much point in that as Bill would say it was all the fault of Ultimate Terrain, so I won't bother. The next DEW station to the east is in Canada and called Komakuk; this has already been made and posted. The next in this series will be far to the west. The AI has daily flights by ERA, plus Northern Air Cargo, and some GA.

| Los Angeles Virtual Terminal 2009 |
|
File Description:
The LAX Vterminal was originally released to a select few virtual airlines. These were West Express,
Atlantic Sun, Empora Virtual, City Bird, Arizona Pacific, and Family Virtual Airlines. The terminal
contains three concourses, forty-three (43) gates, and eight overflow parking spots. Parking assignments
have not been assigned to any of the gates, so you will need to go through and do so.
The terminal was created by Michael Wood and Nick O'Dell. It was designed to fit the needs of virtual
airlines, in order to return parking spots in the main terminal to their real world owners. This
scenery is frame rate friendly, and will not take up a lot of space on your hard drive. Included in
this file are AFCAD's for the default and OceanFlight scenery.
Enjoy our scenery, and look for more scenery projects coming in the near future.

| Terrain Mesh of Glacier National Park |
|
File Description:
New and updated scenery enhancements for the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia and parts of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. They require an existing installation of my files bcmesh9d.zip and/or bcmesh9e.zip. Scenery coverage follows the Trans-Canada Highway from Banff National Park to west of Revelstoke (~350km), with accurate transportation network, rivers and lakes, hydro dams, ski hills, glaciers, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Also, similar enhancements to the parks and towns of the southern Kootenay, Selkirk, and Monashee mountains. The mesh source data are 0.75-arcsec (~23-m) CDED files, compiled at LOD10 (38-m) resolution. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, new lakes and land/waterclass replacements will work well in FS2002.

| YWKS - Wilkins Aerodrome, Antarctica |
|
File Description:
Wilkins Aerodrome is about 10 km west from Casey Station. The blue ice, snow-capped Wilkin's single runway is capable of supporting large wheeled aircraft. The runway operates during the summer period and is capable of supporting weekly flights from Australia. Australia made aviation history this year with the landing of its first passenger aircraft, an Airbus A319, in Antarctica at Wilkins Aerodrome. The A319-115LR, REG: VH-VHA, is operated by Skytraders Pty Ltd.
The scenery adds an AFCAD, flattens the area, and a small amount of buildings. The buildings are placed as close to real world locations as I could get. I only used generic FS9 objects for ease of distribution. The file can be edited with EZScenery. The file also includes a PDF of the most current charts and a KMZ file to view the real location in Google Earth.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #01 Leamington (CLM2) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a series of small airfields in southern Ontario, Canada. It is Leamington CLM2, a field near a small town of the same name beside Lake Erie. The airfield has an asphalt runway of 3,820 feet, though with displaced thresholds at each end due to electric cable strung along the roads for an effective landing length of around 2,800. Right-hand circuits for runway 19 to avoid over-flying a nature reserve around a stretch of shallow water to the northeast. The intention is that downloaders will add further posts to the first, which will avoid unnecessary texture duplication (for instance for parked cars or planes) and avoid adding yet another small field to the FS9 scenery library. The second airfield will probably be Harrow CGL2, a grass field to the west of Leamington.
