| 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.

| 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.

| Beaver Creek CYXQ 1.1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Version 1.1 adds the missing door on the ground side of the terminal building. It is complete and does not require that you already have the previous version.
Beaver Creek CYXQ is a small airport in the northern Canada Yukon Territory, near the Alaskan border. There is a customs facility located on the Alaska Highway adjacent to the airport. There is an NDB located on the field, but no published instrument approaches. The single gravel runway is 3740'long.
This scenery was completely redone and features a custom photoreal terminal and custom runway/taxiway lights. The adjacent customs facility is included but is not based on the real one as I had no photos to work from. The custom runway lights are always on, even during the day...sorry, this is an FS9 limitation.
This scenery was designed for use with Ultimate Terrain and was not tested in the default scenery. It may or may not work in FSX.

| B-24 USAAF 376th BG "Lady be Good" |
|
File Description:
Following an April 4, 1943 bombing raid on Naples, Italy, conducted by the 376th Bomb Group, the Lady Be Good of the 514th Bomb Squadron failed to return to base. After attempts to locate the plane, its nine crewmen were classified as MIA, and presumed dead, believed to have perished after crashing in the Mediterranean.
Almost 16 years later on Nov. 9, 1958, several British geologists were flying over the desolate, sun-baked Libyan Desert. At approximately 400 miles south of Soluch, they spotted an aircraft on the sand. A ground party that reached the site in March 1959 discovered the plane to be a B-24D. The "Lady Be Good" had been found.
Evidence at the site indicated that the crew had become lost in the dark on return from Naples and had flown over their base and southward into the desert. As their fuel supply became depleted, the nine men aboard had bailed out but had disappeared while attempting to walk northward to civilization.
Intensive searches were made for clues as to the fate of the crew, and in 1960 the remains of eight were found, one near the plane and the other seven far to the north. Five had trekked 78 miles across the tortuous sand before perishing and one had gone an amazing 109 miles. In addition, they had lived eight days rather than only two expected of men in this area with little or no water. The body of the ninth man was never found.

| Zion National Park North, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Cedar City (KCDC), Utah, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cedar Breaks National Monument is a large amphitheater cliff in bright colors of red, orange and purple.
It lies east of Cedar City in the northern region of the scenery. The cliff was formed by erosion thru wind,
water and ice. Today erosion continues with a pace of about 2 inches every 5 years. Although it is called
Cedar Breaks, there are no cedars growing there but juniper trees. For a scenic flight to Cedar Breaks
National Monument best depart from Cedar City Regional Airport (KCDC) and head east. The scenery extends
south to Zion National Park and covers a large part of Zion Canyon and the Kolob Canyons area.
Zion National Park is another place where erosion of the Colorado Plateau formed the most beautiful colorful
stone formations of unique and wonderful shapes. There are nine different layers of stone visible in the park.
Most of them consist of sandstone. But there is also limestone, gypsum, siltstone, shale, clay and mudstone.
The Virgin River cut a spectacular and famous canyon thru Zion Park that is as narrow as 20ft and up to 2000ft tall.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads)
are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_South2West5.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions,
so expect this version to be slightly more blurry.
Thanks to Joop Mak for providing a custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures!
They are available here: www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Richard, P.J. and Felix.

| Black Cat Catalina PBY5/5Av1.1 for x-plane |
|
File Description:
This update includes improvements to the fuselage shape, addition of retractable wing floats using wheel farings, an improved but not custom panel, improved prop efficiency and more. The PBY Catalina is probably the best known flying boat with over 4000 produced by Consolidated aircraft and licensees. The Black Cat squadrons all done in flat black played havoc particularly for the Japanese in the Pacific. Fitted with radar, with a 15 hour endurance and 2800 mile range they hunted Japanese naval ships by night and bombed or torpedoed them by the hundreds up. There are 6 engine nacelles used in the model, 2 represent the 1200 HP radial engines driving the props, the others are jets with 5 lbs of thrust, 1 is used for the rear fuselage section, 1 is used for the wing pylon, 1 is used for the flare from the fuselage to the vertical stabilizer and the last is used for the forward observation and gunner space. Two are not used. Wing sections are taken up by the main wing and the support spars so there you go. The fuel tanks are used for the side gunner pods since these can be decorated separately. The plane flies very well and is stable as a rock. Takeoffs from water are quite easy as long as you don't dip a wing tip (no floats remember). The Black Cat squadron logo used in the paint scheme is courtesy of http://www.daveswarbirds.com/blackcat/logos.htm and is from the VP-71 Black Cat squadron.

| Honduras Islands v3 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Version 3 includes all previous patches and updates. This version also restructures the file system to be fully compatible with the ORBX "FTX Global openLC North America" product as well as adding functionality for default FSX users. Additionally, water class scenery is updated to appear more realistic, MHRO is updated to reflect the newly expanded apron, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh is included. All landclass polygons and coastlines were meticulously hand-drawn directly from satellite imagery to provide the most detailed and accurate scenery available for this region.
This project rebuilds the islands of Roatán, Barbareta, Guanaja, and Utila, and adds Cayos Cochinos and the numerous cays associated with the "Islas de la Bahia" (Islands of the Bay). Roatán (MHRO), Guanaja (GJAJ/MHNJ) and Puerto Lempira (MHPL) are completely overhauled and positioning is corrected. New and fully functioning AI airports are added for Utila (MHUT), Fort Cay (MHFC) and Cochino Pequeño (MHCP) of the Cayos Cochinos chain, and La Ceiba (MHLC) is modified to accommodate more AI traffic. Accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. GA flight plans are provided to add or enhance service to the smaller islands. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery, when available. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.

| Chilean Transports and Tankers Complete AI Package |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The members of Military AI Works are proud to bring you this freeware AI package, produced by Mike Guenthner in conjunction with Military AI Works and adds the three recently acquired KC-135E aircraft of the Chilean Air Force (FACh) as well as their C-130B aircraft to your FS9 skies.
This package is the first release of the MGAI KC-135E model which is based on the original MAIW KC-135R AI model and shares the same animations and features as its newer cousin. The Henry Tomkiewicz C-130 AI models round out the included military aircraft in this package.
These three Hercules AI aircraft were originally released in 2007 as part of the "MAIW Exotic Alberts" package. If you have previously installed the "Exotic Alberts Chile" package, you should remove all contents from that package prior to installing this package. We have updated the textures for these C-130B aircraft as well as made some other minor changes to them which reflect the changes that have occurred since 2007.

| Quebec CYQB |
|
File Description:
All pilots have used or heard the word "Quebec" during their radio communication but not many pilots actually landed at Quebec International airport (CYQB). A great number of Head of States, VIPs, tourists came to Quebec City for summits, special occasions or to visit the city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. Quebec airport is also hosting a great airshow and this year in June, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Quebec City, five of the world best aerobatic squadrons will perform simultaneously over Quebec: the British "Red Arrows", the French "La Patrouille de France", the US Navy "Blue Angels", the USAF "Thunderbirds" and the Canadian "Snowbirds". It will be quite a sight.
This very accurate scenery will give you the opportunity to visit CYQB with your simulator. Months of effort were devoted to make this scenery as real as possible. This package includes more that 25 highly detailed hangars and buildings all having night textures, some of them have windows with specular effect. Light poles provide aprons lighting. The adjacent mount Belair have communication towers with strobe lights visible for over 12nm which provides a good visual reference coming into the airport. Exceltech, a maintenance facility has static aircrafts parked in front. A second publication will include the new terminal which is presently under construction.

File Description:
I designed this for myself to darken the default User Interface for 2 reasons. I have bad eyes that are sensitive to bright objects on the screen, and I like to fly the simulator in the evening hours with the lights turned off in the room. I hope you like my end result. I also added 2 bonus features. Instead of hearing the Windows/Internet Explorer click sound when you mouse click on a menu item, you now will hear the "Fasten Seatbelts" sound effect. Be sure to back up the original sound "checkc" in case you find the new sound annoying. Secondly, I have included 4 optional Aircraft Viewer images that give the selected aircraft a more airborne look. I will make switching these simple by adding them to the Generic Mod Enabler(JSGME) that I will include in the download. The look is created using Diamond Plate and Polished Aluminum textures, and modifying the buttons with some more color. This is Freeware, and I am giving permission to anyone that wants to create their own and upload to any site they wish. I do not wish that you have to mention my name in any credits.
