| Fort Liard CYJF in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Liard is the seventh in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and then Fort Simpson Island and Fort Simpson, all posted. Fort Liard is at 708 feet asl and on the east bank of the the Liard River, around 130 miles south of Fort Simpson where the Liard and Mackenzie join, and about 25 miles from the borders with both British Columbia and the Yukon. The town has a population of about 560 folks.
The airport is next to the town, and has almost 3,000 feet of gravel runway. I have no information regarding when it was built but it may be from the WW2 time; the cleared and grassed area is long enough for a runway 0f 6,000 feet. There are no scheduled flights but North Cariboo Air have a base at the airport for local charters to support survey teams etc. and are almost an on-demand-scheduled airline. I have also added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is fuel available, but only by prior arrangement with North Cariboo. Right hand circuits for runway 20.

| Cape Hooper CWFH and FOX-4 DEW Line Station in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cape Hooper is around 60 miles north of Kivitoo (FOX-D) and 140 miles south of Clyde River CYCY on the northeast-facing coast of Baffin Island. FOX-4 is still in use as a new and mostly-unmanned North Warning System site was established there in 1990 before the DEW line station was closed in 1991. Actually the DEW line station was not "closed" as such, they just stopped using it. The site of FOX-4 is on the top of a bump at the end of one of many long promontories that stick out into the Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenland, close to the far eastern end that is called Cape Hooper. There is a gravel runway to the west, down at 65' ASL; it is only just over 3,000' long and most material was delivered by sea to the beach at the southern end of the runway. The runway is signed as
"324T - 144T" as this is Northern Domestic Airspace where all runways are signed "true" and not "magnetic"; it is 013/193 magnetic with a huge magnetic variation of 48.9 degrees in this area where the magnetic field is mostly vertical, and so useless for navigation.

| Port Armstrong, for Holger Sandmann's Tongass Fjords scenery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a fish farm, at the southern end of Baranof Island and Chatham Strait in southern Alaska. It is named on the chart of the area, and there is a section of the chart included here. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery. The fish farm (or hatchery, the description varies) has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as PAG. There is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways, so PAG on the gps just acts as a waypoint. I may have incorrectly identified Tongass Fjords as being required for Hawk Logging when Glacier Bay is needed. Ah well, it is one or the other of them. I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.

| Cordova Smith PACV & Municipal CKU in Alaska US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cordova is on the south coast of Alaska, around 150 miles east of Anchorage and 45 miles south of Valdez. The town is mainly built on a small but relatively flat area between the east side of Prince William Sound and Eyak Lake, and has a population of around 2,350 in 2010, the approximate date of this scenery.
The Municipal Airfield CKU is on the north side of Eyak Lake to the east of Cordova, with the runway that is 1,800 feet of unlit gravel squeezed between the lake and the road that runs around the lake. The hangars and parking aprons are reached by taxiing across, and to some extent along, the road. Float planes are also taken from the lake to an apron to the west of the runway.
Cordova Airport PACV (named in the real world "Merle K. (Mudhole) Smith", and I will leave you to research this) is known as Cordova Smith in FS9 and is 10 miles to the east of the town on relatively flat ground between mountains to the north and the sea to the south. The runway is 8,080 feet of lit asphalt aligned 09-27 with ILS on runway 27 and VASI on both ends. The aprons are to the north side of the runway and are reached by back-taxiing; there are no taxiways parallel to the runway. The main apron serves Alaska Air via the western of two taxiways. The GA parking and hangars are mainly reached by using the eastern taxiway, though there is in fact a connecting taxiway between the two (for GA, but definitely not for airliner use). The taxiway further to the west serves the separated Alaska Coastguard apron and hangar, which is mainly for helicopter use. There is a nominally grass runway 1,900 feet long and aligned 16-34 to the south of the main runway; in fact it appears to be more gravel than grass. I have left this inactive as otherwise AI Alaska Air planes would be attempting to use this when the wind made it seem like a good idea.
The AI includes Alaska Air (twice a day) and also Coastguard helicopters, along with GA.

| KADW Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility, Maryland, USA (Andrews Air Force Base) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first version of my scenery for the Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility, Maryland, USA - better known as Andrews Air Force Base.
The main buildings, fences, tanks and other objects are completely self-created, modeled with GMAX and covered with self-created textures. For this I have used GIMP - and of course DXTBMP.
For the trees, cars and other items I have used already existing libraries and others like Matt Tomkins' MTtrees, Sidney Schwartz' ESDG Ramp Lights and Lars Hoyer's Extra Objects. Furthermore MAIW's (Military AI Works) airplanes are used to fill the apron with static aircraft. A complete list of used libraries you will find in the readme file.

| Whaler's Cove Lodge for Holger Sandmann's Tongass Fjords scenery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a fishing lodge on Killisnoo Island, just off the western shore of Admiral Island near Angoon. It is not marked on the chart of the area but there is a section of the chart here with a pointer to the island. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery. The lodge has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as a waypoint, PWCL. There is a nearby float base called Angoon which serves the small town of the same name, and this is visible in one of the screen shots. I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9, and at the time they were made they were spectacularly better than anything else.

| AI for Inuvik CYXT in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This traffic file for Inuvik CYEV has several planes making flights to and from Inuvik. The DC3 C-GGKG goes north to Tuktoyaktuk on the coast and then back. C-GKBO goes to Norman Wells and back. C-GMAG visits early direct from Yellowknife, then C-GBFA and C-GECN, and in the late afternoon C-FAVO does the same and stays for around 3 hours. The screen shots show the different AI aircraft at different times of day. You will need to have installed my Inuvik scenery and to know how to download and install planes and textures for those planes.

| Helmericks 22AK on the North Slope, Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Helmericks is on the northern coast of Alaska, 150 miles east of Barrow and 50 miles west of Prudhoe Bay. It is on the shore of Colville Island in the delta of the Colville River, and hasn't changed much from when Harmon Helmericks set up house there in the late 1950's. He lived there with his wife and two sons guiding hunting trips and running a fishing operation, and then in 1966 he was involved in the first north slope exploratory oil well drilling operation by Sinclair Oil, which was to lead to the opening up of the north slope in the 1970's. Read "The last of the Bush Pilots" if you want to know more about it. The dirt runway is around 2,400 feet long (long enough for the Wien DC3 to get in with supplies) and the house is still there along with storage sheds. To the southwest are the other houses (three of them) which make up the rest of Colville Village. If you want to have the frozen lakes and river and sea then look for my recent post which will freeze them until you get bored and want to put your floats back on.

| Naknek (5NK) and Naknek South (WSN) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Naknek and Naknek South are two towns close to the mouth of the Naknek River and on opposite banks. King Salmon is approximately 15 miles to the east. The canneries on both banks of the river are the reason for the existence of both towns and airfields, with fishing for salmon being the primary industry of the area. This takes place from the beach by individuals, by small boats in the river and the immediate sea area, and offshore by larger craft. There is a picture of one boat unloading in Naknek which will be known to anyone who has watched the most famous television fishing programme of all, Deadliest Catch. Cornelia Marie is better known for the crab fishing based in Dutch Harbor, but this area too is just as productive though without the drama. Naknek 5NK has two gravel runways and a float runway in the adjoining lake; all three are just under 2,000 feet long. Naknek South WSN has two gravel runways, 12-30 being 3,300 feet long and 04-22 2,260 feet. As the road connecting to King Salmon is on the north bank it is probable that more seasonal workers are brought into the southern canneries by air, hence the longer runway (and with PAPI on 12). Grant Aviation run scheduled flights into both and there are numerous seasonal charter flights. The AI is a further modification of that posted with King Salmon PAKN and includes these flights, and presumes that you have already downloaded PAKN.

| Lutselk'e CYLK in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lutselk'e is a village on the southern shore of the Great Slave Lake, at the eastern end and about 120 miles east of Yellowknife. The Hudson Bay trading company established a post there in 1925, and the current school opened in 1960. The population is in the region of 330. There is no road access, but the government runs a freight shipping service during the ice-free period of the Summer. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a runway of around 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 08-26 with PAPI at both ends and lit, with lights atop traffic cones. There are scheduled flights from Yellowknife by Air Tindi, included in the AI, as is a once a week freight flight by Buffalo Airways. You will need to have downloaded and installed my runway and taxiway lighting library from recent posts. 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.
