| Wekweeti CFJ2 in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wekweeti is a small village in the Northwest Territories, around 120 miles north of Yellowknife and 100 east of Gameti, which was recently posted. It has a population of around 125. 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 area is a complex collection of lakes and small rivers and the airfield is around 3 miles east of the village on a lake shore. The lit gravel runway of 3,400 feet with PAPI at both ends is aligned 307T-127T with T standing for "true" and not the unreliable magnetic heading in the Canadian northern domestic airspace. 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 Thursday delivery by a Buffalo DC3. 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.

| Colorado Lakes Project II |
|
File Description:
This project features the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and adds over 300 highly detailed lakes to the central portion of western Colorado. Three reservoirs, named for corresponding dams on the Gunnison River, form the heart of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Panoramic mesas, fjord-like reservoirs, and deep, steep and narrow canyons abound. Blue Mesa Reservoir is Colorado's largest body of water, and is the largest Kokanee Salmon fishery in the United States. Morrow Point Reservoir is the beginning of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and below it is Crystal Reservoir.
These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh.
All lake information was projected from satellite imagery and compiled with a beta version of Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast" utility. Much thanks to Holger Sandmann and Jim Keir for their help and advice on interpreting the satellite data properly.

| RAF Scorton |
|
File Description:
RAF Scorton was opened in October 1939 as part of 13 Group Fighter Command and a satellite station of RAF Catterick. It was located near the village of Scorton in North Yorkshire. It was used by the Royal Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the United States Army Air Forces Ninth Air Force during the war.
The location was chosen for its flat terrain and its situation close to the now disbanded Eryholme-Richmond branch line that had a sub branch line to Catterick Garrison and RAF Catterick.
The famous No. 56 Squadron RAF flew Spitfires from Scorton during the Second World War. Also the USAAF 422d and 425th Night Fighter Squadrons were stationed at Scorton flying the Northrup P-61 "Black Widow" fighter.
The Aerodrome closed in 1945 and most of the concreted areas have been extensively quarried away for sand and gravel extraction. Most of what was the airfield is now under a lake or a quarry. There are a few military pre-fab buildings remaining in the area – they were dismantled after the war and moved to local farms to be used as agricultural buildings.

| 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.

| Paulatuk CYPC in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Paulatuk is on the coast of northern mainland Canada, 200 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and 170 miles southwest of Ulukhaktok. It is just to the east of the Parry Peninsula, which has at its northern tip the Cape Parry DEW line Main Station. Paulatuk was established in the 1920's, and the population now numbers around 320. Paulatuk airfield is close to the village but on higher ground, while the village follows the curve of the coast. The 4,000 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 021T/201T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. Only JETA-1 is available unless there is 100LL in drums. There are flights by Aklak Air from Inuvik, which is around 250 miles to the west; Aklak Air is actually Kenn Borek under a diferent name. The AI is for a daily passenger flight, and for a cargo flight on Wednesdays. In the summer, float planes use the lake to the south of the village, but I have no information as to docks or any other facilities; probably there aren't any.

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for Inyokern Airport (KIYK). SORRY everyone there were some libraries and textures missing from the recent release. This package contains all missing objects and libraries and is a complete replacement for ANY of my Inyokern sceneries previously installed, no other download required. (Nestled on the sunny side of the southern Sierras, Inyokern is a great jumping-off place for hi desert adventures. Known for decades for it's great soaring spots, Inyokern itself is busy enough with an average of 80 flights a day including it's United/Skywest commuter flights and occasional military traffic from the nearby China Lake Naval Weapons Test Center. Geographically, the airport is situated in the high desert of Southern California, 100 miles east-northeast of the county seat in Bakersfield, 80 miles north-northeast of the Lancaster and Palmdale areas, and 120 miles north-northwest of San Bernardino. The airport itself covers 1,640 acres at an elevation of 2,457 feet, with three asphalt paved runways that can accommodate almost any class of civilian, commercial, or military aircraft. Inyokern Airport is served by commercial airlines connecting through Los Angeles International Airport.)

| PAAQ - Palmer Muni - Anchorage, Alaska - USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Palmer PAAQ is in Alaska, some 40 miles northeast of Anchorage on the north side of Knik Arm and beside the west bank of the Matanuska River. It is for both GA and commercial aircraft. There are two apron areas, north and south, separated by the east-west runway. The north apron is for the Forestry Service planes and for resident GA tie-down places and hangars, along with maintenance facilities; the southern end of the north apron is for itinerant aircraft. The south apron is almost entirely for commercial companies and again maintenance. The main runway is just under 6,000 feet long, aligned L16-R34 and asphalted and lit, as is the parallel taxiway A. There is also a shorter and parallel runway that is grass and which receives no winter maintenance. The second main runway is 3,600 feet long and aligned 09-27, asphalt and lit and with a parallel taxiway B, also lit. The airport is undergoing a process of upgrading, which explains the varied colours (and age) of resurfaced taxiways. There are adjustment bgl's for two other neighbourhood airstrips, Toad Lake 24AK and Wolf Track 9AK8, which I just discovered buried in nearby holes in the ground; I also revised their runway surfaces.

| Redding Muni - Redding Ca. KRDD |
|
File Description:
KRDD(Redding Municipal Airport) is located in the beautiful city of Redding Ca. Redding is a city located in Shasta County 150 mile's north of Sacramento on Interstate-5. Redding is known as a gateway for recreation for those visiting this Northern Ca. city, Lake Shasta and Mt Lassen are just a short drive out of town.
As a former resident of Redding I drove past KRDD on a daily basis,on a couple of occasion's I had the opportunity to attend the annual Redding Airshow. The airshow play's host to many of aviations finest stunt pilot's as well as one of many military jet flying team's, the USN Blue Angels have been guest of the airshow many time's. The airshow still runs to this day. KRDD is also a destination city for several major and regional air carriers, HorizonAir and United Skywest are among them.
This scenery I have done as a tribute to the many mile's I have put on driving past it as well as an opportunity to give it some dignity amongst the many airports in MSFS2002. This is also my first airport project I have released.
My hope is that it adds to your FS2002 experience.

| Remote Tower Base, Washington State USA |
|
File Description:
Remote Tower Base Operations, Washington State - Airport ID: TOWR (FSX). -
OK, all you Rotorheads - This is a fictional version of a very remote Helicopter landing pad on the Olympic Penn.. You must fly a Helo. I created it for my personal enjoyment and now I am releasing to the public as freeware. I hope you enjoy the "eye-candy". There are multiple radio and fire spotting towers in the area to check out. -
At least it gives you something to travel there for. -
This is an extremely challenging spot to land, especially using real Wx. The landing pad is basically a postage stamp. I created it and have a tough time landing here myself, so have fun with this one. -
You may also go directly to this airport by selecting TOWR as your starting airport. I also added a series of images so you can figure out how to get there from somewhere else. If you have my Wynoochie Lake scenery, its only 6 miles from there. (Just a heads-up) -
Designed with the FS X Sdk Scenery function of the Mission builder, Lee Swordy's AFCAD & the Abacus Scenery shortcut tool. -
This scenery is frame rate friendly.
