| NZGA- Galatea Aerodrome (VectorLandClass, New Zealand) |
|

File Description:
Welcome to Galatea (ICAO: NZGA), a gateway to exploring the Urewera ranges and the east coast of New Zealand. Galatea is a small and basic airstrip with only one old hanger, a public toilet and a small clubhouse on a wide plain surrounded by native bush and pine plantation near Murupara in the Bay of Plenty of New Zealand. It is a grass strip of 1025m length and 60m width and aligned 01/19 with a group rating of 8. No night lighting or fuel is available.
The FSX model includes custom textures and models placed on an aerial image. It makes extensive use of items from the free VLC object libraries which are required to be installed (download from www.vectorlandclass.co.nz downloads menu). This scenery and the VLC libraries have been funded
by sales of VectorLandClass and although you do not need VLC to use it, your purchase helps further development.
To the south west of Murupara township and sawmill is the LakeLand Helicopters base which just fits onto the photo-real coverage. Library objects have been placed here although they may not be accurate as the site was not visited when taking reference photos. This airfield makes a great stop over when flying between Rotorua, Mount Tarawera, Whakatane or Gisborne.
We hope you enjoy exploring the area!

| Union Island TVSU in the Grenadines, eastern Caribbean Version 1.1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a self-contained version 1.1 that modifies the terrain flattens around the airport. I found that suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the Lesser Antilles mesh and my flattens were at war and creating hills within the airport boundary. If you are not having problems then you do not need this.
Union Island is in the southern tail of the chain of islands known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, between Canouan and Carriacou. Union is another small island, 3.5 miles long and at its widest 1.5 miles wide; the resident population is around 3,000, mostly in the two towns Clifton and Ashton. The airport is at the eastern end of the island, and has been extended into the sea on landfill. The runway is now around 2,480 feet long, aligned 08 (and with the southeast trade winds it is unlikely that you will find yourself using 26) and with a displaced threshold of 530 feet due to the hill to the west. The terminal is adjacent to a rather small apron; there is parking on the grass north of the taxiway. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. The airport has no lighting, and flights are obliged to land and depart in daylight hours only, outside of which the airport is closed.

| FTTN Am-Timan, Chad |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Am-Timan (ICAO: FTTN, ICAO: ANC), also known as Am
Timan, Am Timane, Am Timmane, Umm Timman - take your pick! It is a small
airport serving a small city of the same name in South-Eastern Chad,
almost exactly centred in the continent of Africa.
The airport was upgraded in 1971 by the French Foreign Legion to allow
military transport craft to land, but it still retains a sand/dirt
strip. The airport is served today by a couple of flights a week using
Fokker Fellowship jets of Toumai Air Tchad.
The entire area is very dry and sandy but for some reason it is depicted
in Flight Simulator as green and lush. Microsoft have only provided a runway
at this airport and this scenery seeks to redress the situation so that you
and your "AI" traffic can use the airport realistically.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high quality
satellite imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the
added airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look exactly like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.

| Airstrips of North-East Germany |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Moving towards completing my Airstrips of Western Europe project, herewith 50+ sceneries for smaller airfields in NE Germany, that I haven't included in my previous uploads, each enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces, buildings etc. and aprons as appropriate, to further facilitate the generation of lightweight AI traffic in the area, without overloading the more major airfields. If you have my "German Airstrips" folder from my previous uploads, these are in addition to that and the folders can be merged. Any apparent duplicates will be (minor) updates and can be over-written.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.
As before, the files for each airfield can be easily identified by the ICAO code, even if the airfield names vary slightly, so you can pick and choose and mix and match to suit any sceneries you already have, should you so wish. There is no requirement for any other download. Each airfield will exist as a stand-alone entity should you only want a few of them.
Very few basic library objects are used ... you can add "eye-candy" to suit your own taste should you wish, or just leave them as vague shapes in the scenery that can put a few more small aircraft into the air. As with other airfields in this series, now these are "ai-activated" you can expect to see the occasional little aircraft turn up at some of them if you've got any third-party traffic installed.
Please read the rest of this "blurb" in the enclosed text file ... there may be some details of interest.

| Little Port Walter for Holger Sandmann's Tongass Fjords scenery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a second fish farm at the southern end of Baranof Island and Chatham Strait in southern Alaska. Big Port Walter is named on the chart of the area, and there is a section of the chart included here. Little Port Walter is a much smaller offshoot bay, sheltered from the weather and ideal for a fish farm. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery. 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. The fish farm (or hatchery, the description varies) has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as PWL. There is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways, so PWL on the gps just acts as a waypoint. There will be further posts for use with Tongass Fjords, Misty Fjords, and Glacier Bay, and I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.

| Channel Islands (add on region) |
|
File Description:
This is a kit to build a new region for the Flight Unlimited 3 game. You have just to move the /channel folder into the /region folder of the game but
the /maps folder has just the blank water tiles and no texture maps due to copyright restrictions. You will have to download the maps by yourself using Maps2BGL and building the tiles using the included automated script. The region includes Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney with 3 prepared airports.
No building or trees are placed, this is left to you and I hope to see a package uploaded at avsim a bit later. To fly in the Channel region you must use a copy of FU3 without the Seattle region or temporarily move the /Seattle folder out of the game (not delete, just move !!!)
This kit also demonstrate how to build a minimal region (8x8 tiles, 131kmx131km. You must learn to handle Maps2BGL to finish the Channel region installation.
A fast Internet connection is needed to download the maps also.

File Description:
California Central Coast Scenery for FSX with Megascenery Earth and FSGenesis mesh. CCFSXMSG.ZIP covers the California coastal region from N36° 10' (Coalinga) to N34° 25' (Santa Barbara) and from the coast East to W119° 40'. It is a version of my previously created California Central Coast scenery redesigned and expanded to work with FSX MegaScenery Earth and FSGenesis USA Terrain Mesh for FSX V2 by Justin Tyme. Airstrips in the area covered by this scenery have been added for a total of 27 airports and airstrips. 6 imaginary water runways are also added for AI float plane traffic. Several other areas of interest such as the Santa Barbara marina, Morro Bay, etc. are included for a total of 41 points of interest. All airports, airstrips and related structures have been adjusted and realigned to conform to actual positions and dimensions as indicated by the MegaScenery Earth satellite textures. Megascenery Earth California-13, -14 and -15 are required and -12, -28 and -29 are recommended. By Al Wheeler 9/25/09.

| YGNW Gnowangerup Shire airstrip and town, Western Australia |
|
File Description:
YGNW Gnowangerup Shire Airstrip. The Shire of Gnowangerup is a Local Government Area in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, about 120 kilometres north of Albany and about 370 kilometres southeast of the capital, Perth. The Shire covers an area of 4,268 square kilometres, and its seat of government is the town of Gnowangerup. Gnowangerup was initially gazetted as a Road Board in 1912, taking in eastern sections of Broomehill and Tambellup. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act. The area of gnowangerup is mainly wheat sheep on sandplain country. In the 1960's it was reported to have good rainfall but when the clearing started, the rainfall changed. Farmers who managed large properties were able to survive because of the economies of scale. At regular intervals, farmers in this area now have to cart water for their stock. REQUIRES Blencowe_LibraryKit.zip

| YRDY Reedy's Gold Mine, Western Australia |
|
File Description:
YRDY Reedy's Mine open cut was closed in 1997 but further exploration drilling is under way. Reedy is an abandoned town in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The town is located between Cue and Meekatharra in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Gold was discovered in the area by H Reed in 1899-1900 and a nearby well, Reedy's Well, was named after him. The well appeared on maps of the area in 1908 as a known water source. Further gold discoveries were made in the 1930s and sveral mines were developed. By 1933 the Cue-Day Dawn road board petitioned for a townsite to be surveyed and declared. Suggestions for the name of the town included Triton, Mathers and Reedy. The town was gazetted in 1934. If you fly over, you will note that the airstrip runs down the main streets of the old town.
