| Sproat Lake CAA9 V2 on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This presumes you have already installed Sproat Lake CAA9; it is not a stand-alone scenery. In the original post I omitted the traffic bgl. This is now included, as are the two AI Beavers that FSAddon gave permission for inclusion and use as AI with Sproat Lake. So if you already have installed the pay scenery they came with they will show up anyway, but if you don't then install these two and they will; just drop the Sproat Lake AI Beavers folder into your aircraft folder, and the traffic bgl into the FS9'Scenery/World/Scenery folder as usual. I have now also included a Grumman Goose amphibian as this was the plane that the Fire Boss would be operating in while fire fighting. The textures are what were available and that I could (limited skills here) revise to at least have a Canadian registration. If I find a more accurate version I will include it at a later date. Drop the bgl's and textures into the already installed Sproat Lake scenery and texture folders and say yes to overwrite or replace.

| Nanisivik CYSR and Arctic Bay CJX7 in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Nanisivik is an airfield in the north of Baffin Island, 470 miles north of the Arctic circle. It was built to service a zinc and lead mine that was opened in 1976 as Canada's first Arctic mine, now closed and dismantled. The deep water Strathcona Sound has been ear-marked by the Canadian government for development as a naval base, so I have left the large ore storage shed and the jetty in place. The airfield is at 2,106 feet on the top of the Borden Peninsula hills with a lighted 6,400 feet of 150 feet wide gravel runway runway aligned 11/29. There is a terminal and other maintenance buildings, and First Air have a building there from when the mine generated a lot of traffic and jets were used. Arctic Bay is a village 11 miles west of Nanisivik airfield with a population of around 690 which also uses the Nanisivik airfield. There is another gravel strip much closer to the village that is called Arctic Bay CJX7, but this is smaller with only 1,500' of 50' wide gravel and has no facilities of any sort. The village is partly dependent on visiting sports hunters and other limited tourist visits. At almost 73 degrees north the average year will have only four or even three months where the average high is above freezing. The buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, and as in real life there is only JetA available. The AI visiting aircraft are a Kenn Borek Twin Otter and a First Air 42-300. As Nanisivik is in the "Northern Domestic Airspace" the runway is signed in "true" bearings and not magnetic as magnetic compasses become unreliable close to the magnetic pole.

| Rae Lakes CYRA at Gameti in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Gameti is a village in the Northwest Territories, around 65 miles north of Whati which was recently posted. Until 2005 the village, which has a population of around 280, was known as Rae Lakes and the airfield is now renamed Gameti/Rae Lakes as shown in the 2010 version of the Nav Canada Flight Supplement, my standard reference year. Permanent settlement was established there in 1965. There is no all-weather road access and the village is reliant upon the airfield for supplies, along with an ice road in the winter months. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a lit gravel runway of just over 3,000 feet aligned 14-32 and with PAPI at both ends. The airfield is served by Air Tindi from Yellowknife on an almost daily basis, included in the AI here along with some GA and a Friday delivery by a Buffalo DC3 that uses all of the runway. The runway has lake water at each end, ready for the unwary. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Embrun CPR2 in Ontario Canada 2012 Revision |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Embrun is in Ontario a few miles southeast of Ottawa, and southwest of my posted strips Russel Farm, Russellet Strip, and Indian Creek. It is a real airfield, used by Embrun Flying Club, and there is now fuel since the owner built a house on the field and moved in, and more hangars than there used to be. All in all a nice airfield with a grass runway 2,260 feet long, and in this REVISED version with a new windsock. There are electric cables strung along the road at the eastern end of the runway, marked by visibility balls; watch out for those. At the western end there are some old grain silos; these shouldn't be a problem, and if you are flying a taildragger give you something to aim at until the tail comes up. I did my first grass field landing and take off there when I was learning to fly, and it is just the right distance from Rockcliffe for a nice afternoon training flight. Look out for geese taking off from the fields to the west when you use 26; that departure from Embrun along with 50 geese was more entertaining than most.

| Mackenzie River close to Tulita CZFN in Northwest Territories Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I discovered, while testing another airfield near the Mackenzie River, that along the side of the Mackenzie adjacent to Tulita, and for a considerable distance, there was a cliff of water. I have no idea if my version of Ultimate Terrain has developed a fault or if this has been caused by the installation of a terrain mesh that now argues with UT for some unknown reason. Whatever, it was impossible to leave it as it was. I have included a screenshot of the cliff further upstream. To avoid the cliff of water I have flattened that area of the Mackenzie River and the adjacent river banks and both the town and the airfield to a height above sea level of 400 feet. This does not reflect the real life situation but is the lesser of two optical evils. I have included a screenshot of the flattened area. If you do not have a problem then you do not need this. If you too have a cliff of water then you might want to try this. It does not completely get rid of the problem, but it does get rid of it in the area visible when landing or taking off at Tulita.

| Nimpo Lake CF04 and CF51 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Nimpo Lake is less than 10 miles south of Anahim Lake, and is a centre for fishing lodges and other "nature" activities such as hiking and hunting etc. As a result there is considerable float plane activity on the lake as clients are flown in, or out, to other lakes that are nearby, or just on sightseeing jaunts. This one, CF04, is the last of a trio of Nimpo Lake float bases, and is at the far end of the lake from the other two. It is for Nimpo Lake Resort, a lodge and cottages to accommodate anglers and hikers etc. To the south of the lake, and included here, is what I have called Nimpo Lake Land CF51. It cannot by any stretch of imagination be called an airfield, but it is a cleared area and it has been used by wheeled planes. There is no runway as such and it is somewhat bumpy. The AI and the Beavers were included in the posting of CAF8.

| Salluit CYZG in Hudson Strait, Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Salluit is a village of 1,250 or so inhabitants at N 62 W 75 40 on the shore of Sugluk Inlet, which is off Hudson Strait. It's name means "Skinny Ones" in Inuit, and refers to a time when there was not enough to eat, which is a rather scary reminder of just how fragile Inuit survival used to be. The village does not feature in FS9 but is included in this scenery with approximately the right shape and with the roads that lead to the airfield and what I presume are quarries for building materials and roads. The airfield runway is 3,510 feet of gravel 100 feet wide and is some 740 feet higher than the village on the shoreline. I added the roads, the quarries, a new airfield background, plus of course there is the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI.

File Description:
Nimpo Lake is less than 10 miles south of Anahim Lake, and is a centre for fishing lodges and other "nature" activities such as hiking and hunting etc. As a result there is considerable float plane activity on the lake as clients are flown in, or out, to other lakes that are nearby, or just on sightseeing jaunts. This one, CF05, is the second of a trio of Nimpo Lake float bases, the one that is close to the "official" CAF8. It is for Stewart's Lodge fishing centre and Tweedmuir Aviation, both of which are included in this posting. The AI Beavers that are based at the CF05 dock in the AI have a colour scheme that is close to that of Tweedmuir. The AI was included in the posting of CAF8, as were the AI Beavers.

| KRCA - Ellsworth Air Force base |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Beginning with it's inception as a B-17 training field, Ellsworth has changed and upgraded itself through it's history as host to B-29's, B-36's, B-52s, and finally the B-1 Lancer. One of only two dedicated bases world-wide for the Lancer this base sports a combination of new and old with proud traditions. This package features custom FSDS scenery with seasonal ground cover. Although designed primarily for use with MAIWs B-1B Lancer package (maiw_ellsworth_afb_221720.zip) it will of course work with all aircraft. This version is an upgrade which corrects the file name, some errors in documentation and adds the missing taxi-signs. Thanks to folks for reporting the errors.
