| Clyde River CYCY & Cape Christian in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Clyde River is a village on the northeast coast of Baffin Island, 250 miles above the Arctic Circle and around 150 miles north of Cape Hooper. It is on the shore of Patricia Bay at the entrance to Cylde Inlet, a fjord which stretches over 60 miles inland. The population is around 880 folks, and it was named by the explorer John Ross in 1818. The airfield is just east of the village and the lighted runway is 3,501' of 100' wide gravel at 87' ASL, aligned 018 True 198 True; "True" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. There are two aprons, one with the new terminal building and one with the old terminal and the garage. Five miles northeast of Clyde River is Cape Christian, where there is a gravel runway around 3,000' long and adjacent to the beach, built to serve what was started as a weather station and later became a LORAN navigation system station. The station is still there, though it was closed some time ago and is now the subject of decontamination work. The runway is usable, though only for light planes as it is a bit rough. First Air and Canadian North are the AI planes visting Clyde River.

| 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.

| Payette Air of Canada VA / PC-6 Porter |
|
File Description:
I have created 3 repaints of FSD's Pilatus PC-6 Porter available at http://www.fsd-international.com/ you will need to
purchase a copy for the repaints to work. I have done these repaints for the new V2 model but I think they will work for the
original model as well. I have made one Float and one Wheel paint in the standard colours of Payette Air of Canada and have
included a bonus paint wheel call "Gloria". See pics under "zipdrive!"

| Ulukhaktok (Holman) CYHI in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ulukhaktok (Holman) is an airfield on the west side of Victoria Island, off the northern coast of Canada. It is 320 miles west of Cambridge Bay (and you should download and install the recent post of CYCB by Sid and Pete, as I use it for the AI included in this post) and around 400 miles east of Inuvik (my post of a few months ago). It has been officially called Ulukhaktok since 2006, and before that it's name was Holman.
The village of Ulukhaktok has been placed around the bay and is approximately the right shape; it houses some 460 people who used to rely solely on hunting and fishing. The village is close to 71 degrees north, and there are only four months of the year when the average high is above zero centigrade. The photograph with snow (and of course a frozen sea) is typical; for the frozen sea download my Frozen Rivers & Lakes post which will provide this. 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 an Aklak Air DC3 (based in Inuvik and operated by Kenn Borek Air) and a Canadian North Dash 8-100. Note that the runways are signed as "true" headings instead of magnetic; in the Canadian Northern Domestic Airspace all headings are given as true. Unfortunately FS9 doesn't accommodate this in ATC.

| CYPX - Puvirnituq - Hudson Bay - Quebec, Canada, Modified V1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This modified version installs new taxiway lights and windsocks, and the PAPI that has been recently installed at the airport, plus it modifies the AI. This is a complete version and does not require you to have installed the original. A new terminal building was opened in 2013, but as I unfortunately have not been there to take recent photos I am unable to model it, so this scenery is as it was in 2011. Puvirnituq is a village of 1,300 or so inhabitants at N60 W77 on the east shore of Hudson Bay in Quebec. It's name means "Putrid" in Inuit, and there are two different stories about how it got the name. The runway is a very generous 6,300 feet of gravel 148 feet wide aligned 01-19, which should be enough for almost anything.

| 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.

| Georgian Bay Airfields CYEM & CNR4 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are two airfields in Ontario around Georgian Bay, which is off the east side of Lake Huron in the Great Lakes. Manitoulin East Muni CYEM is at the northern end of the Bay in an area of coves and lakes, on what is actually an island that is almost but not quite connected to the mainland in several places. There is no immediately adjacent town and the field serves the county area. The runway is 3,500 feet of asphalt aligned 02-20 with PAPI at both ends. The second airfield is Tobermory CNR4, which is just south of the small town and ferry terminal of the same name on the northern end of the peninsula that forms Georgian Bay. The runway is 3,180 feet long and aligned 12-30; there is no longer a 450 feet displacement to the 30 threshold.

| Obre Lake CKV4 in the Northwest Territories Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a fifth airfield around or linked to Lake Athabasca, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Obre Lake is some 120 miles northeast of Stony Rapids and is in the Northwest Territories, and the airfield is owned and run by North Of 60 Fishing Camps, which explains it all. It is one of several fishing vacation spots that are serviced by flights from Stony Rapids, and it is these flights to the north that explain the number of regular scheduled flights into Stony Rapids from the south. The Obre Lake camp has docks for boats and also for clients that want to arrive in their own float planes.

| One Hundred Mile House CAV3, British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
One Hundred Mile House is eight miles south of 108 Mile Airport in BC and this version HAS THE MISSING TEXTURES! It is also 75 miles northwest of Kamloops. The runway 08/26 is 1,900 feet long and asphalt (except in the winter, when it is described as "snow"; there is also a note about limited winter maintenance) and almost in the middle of town. The apron is at the eastern (town) end of the runway and on the south side of this there is a large pond which attracts ducks and other water birds. Try to avoid the geese, they can weigh 14lb and come through the prop AND the perspex and up close have dark brown eyes; I speak from an experience 50 feet above the Rockcliffe runway.
