| Quaqtaq CYHA in Hudson Strait, Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Quaqtaq is a small village of 310 or so inhabitants at N 61 W 69 37 on the Hudson Strait at the northwest corner of Ungava Bay. It's name has some connection with "tapeworm" in Inuit; there is a story but I won't recount it here. The village does not feature in FS9 but is included in this scenery with approximately the right shape. No village buildings were specifically modeled; they are hand-made non-specific village houses typical of the north. The airfield runway is 3,520 feet of gravel 100 feet wide and is at 103 feet above the shoreline. I added the roads, a new airfield background, plus of course there is the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI, which is an Air Inuit Dash 8-300. This is the last of a series in northern Quebec that all have similar terminal buildings; I know of others which have the same type of building but I have no photos to discover the differences.

| Chelsea Dams on the Gatineau River |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Chelsea Dams are on the Gatineau River, just north of Rockcliffe airfield. I have used the plural as while there is only one dam as such, there is a second generating station just south of the dam; so "it" is more generally called "the Chelsea Dams". The dams mark the point where, if you are flying south down the Gatineau River towards Rockcliffe, you should be either below 1,500 feet or talking to the Ottawa control tower. While not a reporting point as noted in the supplement notes about flying vfr in the Ottawa area the dams are still the natural reporting point when approaching Rockcliffe and announcing landing intentions. Plus they are a visible landmark from way off, so here they are.

| Campbell River floats CAE3 UPDATE |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This update deals with terrain variations that may be caused by an add-on mesh such as the Genesis one that I installed, and which I discovered made small hills that disrupted the fencing and car parks. This flatten will deal with this or a similar problem. If you aren't having a problem then you don't need this.

| PAAT (ATU) - Attu - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Attu is AT the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 40 miles west of Shemya. There was small village on Attu before the Japanese invasion in mid 1942, but the island is now uninhabited. The Coast Guard Loran navigation station remains in place, though it is no longer in operation and visitors to the island are now either tourists or wildlife experts conducting surveys of numbers of nesting birds, etc. The runway still usable is aligned 02-20 and 5,800 feet long; right hand circuits on 02 to stay away from rising ground to the west. The "terminal" building has lost its sign regarding the Horny Bird, removed in 2010 by one of the last of the station operators, but the building is still there, as are some sheds and shacks that lately were used for the uncomfortable accommodation of bird counters. FS9 has used an incorrect icao identification for Attu but correcting it now would make life complicated so ATU it is and shall remain. I have removed the default FS9 roads that came complete with streetlights and telephone poles and replaced and amended the layout with gravel roads to better resemble real life, though the island shape is at best approximate, as is usual in FS9.

| PAHT - Amchitka - Aleutians, Alaska - USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Amchitka is near the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 180 miles west of Adak, and was not included in FS9. There is no small town on Amchitka Island, which is why it was used for atom bomb testing after being closed down as an Air Force base. There are three runways from the 1940's, the largest of which is aligned 07-25 and just over 10,000 feet of overgrown asphalt 300 feet wide. The second runway is aligned 15-33 and 6,000 feet (also 300 feet wide) and the third is 05-23 and 5,000 feet. The whole eastern end of the island is crowded with old munitions storage areas and other military paraphernalia, including old quonset huts; some of those are included here. There are also some old buildings still standing but on their way to becoming piles of old wood or rust, and some of these are included. There is almost no visual information available about Amchitka; even Google Earth has snow obscuring what buildings still exist and where they are, so much of this is at best only approximate apart from the two large hangars. There are no markings, lights, signage, or a control tower.

| Nikolski (IKO), Nelson Lagoon (Z73), & Perryville (AK5) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are villages in Alaska, spread out east and west of Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians and the peninsula, served by Grant Aviation regional flights from Dutch Harbor, Cold Bay, or King Salmon.
Nikolski is 115 miles west of Dutch Harbor at the western end of Umnak Island, which is just west of Unalaska, the large island adjacent to Dutch Harbor. Nikolski is small, with a population of perhaps only 20 now, and the main claim to fame is the wrecked Reeve Aleutian DC3 at the end of the runway. The runway is 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 08-26. Nelson Lagoon is on the north shore of the peninsula, 55 miles north of Sand Point and on a long spit of land that curves around to make the lagoon. There is no access except by boat or plane for the population of around 50. The airfield is a mile east of the village with a gravel runway 08-26, 4,000 feet long. Perryville is on the south shore of the peninsula, 65 miles east of Sand Point. The population is around 115, and the airfield is southwest of the town with the 3,500 feet of gravel runway aligned 02-20 beside the shore. There is a hangar on the apron, but no terminal building.

| PASY - Shemya (Eareckson Air Station) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Shemya is pretty well AT the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 240 miles west of Amchitka. There is no town on Shemya and the whole island is occupied (and owned) by the Air Force. There are three runways, two of which are from the 1940's and are now unused; in fact one of them has been partly ploughed up and also used for outdoor storage. The single in-use runway is aligned 10-28 and is 10,000 feet of 150 feet wide asphalt with an ils on 28, the runway that is used 99% of the time. The base is now not active but is maintained as a refuelling facility, so for landing and takeoff purposes it is open. The older and now unused areas are those where the hangers are slowly rusting away and the asphalt is turning green with encroaching and well-watered wildlife plants. The tower is now closed, so there is no atc and you just announce your intentions. Read the history of Shemya, a lot happened there.

| Seldovia PASO in Alaska US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Seldovia is a small airfield across the Kachemak Bay from Homer, 15 miles to the south. The runway is gravel and without lighting; the runway edges and the apron edges are marked by cones. The runway in real life is aligned 16-34 and is just over 1,800 feet, increased here to 2,200 feet to accomodate FS9 AI plane capabilities. The video is one of a series that are well worth watching and this one demonstrates the technique of short field landing and take off.
There is AI, with flights between Homer and Seldovia. I should mention here that the I can only make scenery to fit into my version of FS9, and probably your version is not exactly the same. Also, you may not have the planes that I have used for AI. Unfortunately I cannot cater for something I do not have myself. Homer PAHO will follow on from this post. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| CYPX - Puvirnituq - Hudson Bay - Quebec, Canada, Modified V1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This modified version installs new taxiway lights and windsocks, and the PAPI that has been recently installed at the airport, plus it modifies the AI. This is a complete version and does not require you to have installed the original. A new terminal building was opened in 2013, but as I unfortunately have not been there to take recent photos I am unable to model it, so this scenery is as it was in 2011. Puvirnituq is a village of 1,300 or so inhabitants at N60 W77 on the east shore of Hudson Bay in Quebec. It's name means "Putrid" in Inuit, and there are two different stories about how it got the name. The runway is a very generous 6,300 feet of gravel 148 feet wide aligned 01-19, which should be enough for almost anything.

| Whale Cove CYXN in Hudson Bay, Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whale Cove is a small village with 300 or so inhabitants at N62 W92 on the west shore of Hudson Bay, 40 miles south of the large airport at Rankin Inlet. The village does not feature in FS9, so the first thing to do was to add it; not all the smaller streets are in place but it is the right shape.
I also had to add the roads, delete the stock airfield background, and add a new background. Plus, although the village isn't near the airfield I thought that if the place is called Whale Cove then the least I could do was create the cove, so there is also "whaleWATER" and "whalecoastDELETE", plus of course the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI.
NOTE: If you have had a problem with textures not showing up in the villages in these northern sceneries there is a note on how to fix it.
