| Sproat Lake CAA9 on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sproat Lake is in the middle of southern Vancouver Island, 6 miles west of the town of Port Alberni and 30 miles directly south of Comox Valley Airport. It is some 14 miles long and around the eastern shores has a large number of houses with docks and boats. Plus, in the offshoot called Upper Sproat Lake, it has the Sproat Lake Tankerbase CAA9, home to two rather large Martin Mars firefighting planes. Their history is interesting, and their capacity for carrying water for dousing forest fires during the summer months has kept them in use since their construction in the 1940's. They have finally been retired from fighting fires in 2013, having been first retired from military service in 1958. This scenery is made for use with Ultimate Terrain; there was another version made several years ago which either predated or ignored UT. This scenery is for the month when a Mars was being repainted before retiring to a museum as a military plane, date unkown but perhaps 2013? If it is a time when there were three in existance then it is sometime in the 1960's; take your pick. Because of hills adjacent to the lake the landing of the AI Mars may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not it flies into rock before landing. Take off and departure seem to be more reliable than landing on a daily basis. The Mars flies to Vancouver Harbour, but only in theory; it does not land and park as there is no parking available for such a large aircraft. The AI follows in the second post.

| RAF Burn |
|
File Description:
The Station opened in 1942 before closing in 1946, it hosted No. 431 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force as part of 4 Group RAF Bomber Command which formed at the airfield on 13 November 1942 flying Vickers Wellington Mark X aircraft while at Burn. On 15 July 1943 the squadron was transferred to RAF Tholthorpe and became part of No. 6 Group RCAF.
On 1 January 1944 No. 658 Squadron RAF moved to the airfield from RAF Clifton flying the Taylorcraft Auster III but left only seven days moving to RAF Doncaster but on 21 January 1944 the squadron returned, this time staying until 14 March 1944 when they moved to RAF Collyweston. The squadron was briefly joined on 31 December 1943 by 659 Squadron which moved to RAF Clifton the following day.
During its use the airfield was also used by No. 10 Aircrew Holding Unit RAF.
On 6 January 1944 No. 578 Squadron RAF squadron was relocated to RAF Burn from RAF Snaith. This Bomber Command squadron flew Handley Page Halifax Mk. III before disbanding on 15 April 1945 and the station was closed for flying operations in July 1945.
On the night of 30 March 1944, Pilot Officer Cyril Joe Barton took off from RAF Burn in Halifax LK797 for a raid on Nuremberg, and won a posthumous Victoria Cross for valour.
Shortly after flying was discontinued, the Royal Army Service Corps took over some facilities to store surplus equipment. ] Many of the buildings have been dismantled but all three runways remain intact and are used by Burn Gliding Club Ltd.

| Golden CYGE in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in one of the north-south valleys in the Columbia Mountains (which are part of the Rockies) on the border between BC and Alberta. The town of Golden (population just under 4,000) grew along with the Canadian Pacific Railway and the logging industry, both of which are still the mainstays of the town. Tourism is a more recent development along with the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, which is only 3 miles to the west of the town. There are occasional flights into CYGE related to the richer echelon of tourist groups for Kicking Horse, particularly at the weekends; three actual such flights are included in the AI. Golden CYGE is immediately to the west of the town beside the Columbia River, with the 4,500 feet of asphalt runway aligned 14-32; right hand circuits for 32. There are no runway lights or landing aids, and no taxiway lights, so this airfield is for daylight use only. There is a helicopter company based on the field (Alpine) and a volunteer search and rescue group, a skydiving operation at the northern end, plus an active club with a long open hangar with a club room. A friendly airfield. The AI helicopter was included in my post of Alma CYTF. The Beaver will not show up unless you have the Aerosoft Beaver installed. I found the other planes without a problem on flightsim or avsim. Due to the surrounding terrain AI aircraft will usually impact high ground before landing and then just show up on their parking spots. A northern wind improves but does not totally solve this.

| Flight Simulator First Officer V2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Flight Simulator First Officer is a generic virtual copilot that can be used with any aircraft. The primary
function of FSFO is to assist the Pilot In Command (PIC) to fly the aircraft safely while adhering to
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is accomplished via virtual checklist and sharing of cockpit
duties/responsibilities. Specifically, the First Officer reads the following configurable checklist:
- Pre-Flight
- Before Start
- After Start
- Before Takeoff
- In-Range
- After Landing
- Shutdown
After reading the checklist item, the Copilot will wait to ensure you (i.e. the pilot) have configured the
aircraft correctly before proceeding to the next item. Also, the Virtual copilot is capable of performing
the following actions:
1. Call Vspeeds based on your input
2. Raise/Lower the Landing Gear on Takeoff/Landing
3. Retract the Flaps
4. Extend the Flaps
5. Manage the taxi/landing/strobe lights
6. Tune the ILS frequencies
7. Call Climb Power based on your input
8. Reset Vertical Speed when the Aircraft is within 1000 ft of the programmed altitude
9. IAS warning (e.g. Aircraft is above 250 IAS while below 10000 ft)
10. GS Warnings (e.g. Aircraft is above 25 knots while taxing)
11. Resets the altimeter to standards when passing TA
12. Engage Heading Hold on Takeoff
13. Engage Altitude Hold on Takeoff
14. Reset Speed on Takeoff
15. Engage Speed Hold on Takeoff

| KSLC - Salt Lake City Intl Airport 2020, Utah, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I have been asked many times could i do an update for SLC, knowing there were going to be major changes there I held off until now when someone sent me a plan for the new terminal layout and its taxiways, so here is my interpretation of what it may look like in 2020.
This is a version of Salt Lake City Intl Airport with two optional files and made only for FSX, do not use in P3D: There is one version with the Crosswind runway 14/32 operating where all 4 runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one version as the default airport runway operation, The new south terminal A and north concourse B have been designed similar to the plan i have, i also had to take a guess at which airlines will park where so may not be accurate on opening day, as a Delta hub they are only assigned to terminal A, most other airlines are assigned to the north concourse B, transient parking is retained in the same place, the north cargo ramp and buildings updated, runway 17/35 is now parallel with 16L/34R which is also part of the upgrade plan, and the approaches for it aligned with the new position, all other approaches and frequencies updated to the latest charts where needed, extra fuel trucks, Helipads/start locations now in their correct positions, De-icing pads added, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other scenery improvements and objects added, airport views are from the roof of the control tower (when in tower view) please view the readme before installation,

| Madonna della Corona Verona Italy N45.39.64 E10.53.34 |
|
File Description:
Madonna della Corona Verona Italy N45.39.64 E10.53.34 A sanctuary set in the Rock of Monte Baldo at about 1350 Ft in the Adige valley.The Corona Sanctuary is a place of silence and meditation, suspended between heaven and earth, hidden in the heart of the Baldo rocks. Medieval documents attest that already around the year 1000 in the Baldo area lived hermits linked to the Abbey of San Zeno in Verona and that at least from the second half of 1200 there existed a monastery and a chapel dedicated to S. Maria di Montebaldo accessible through a narrow and dangerous path in the rock. During the sixteenth century the two access stairs still visible were made: the widest, of 556 steps, which from the source of Spiazzi, then called "Fonte dell'Indipendenza", descended to the bridge of the lime tree, and the narrower one, of 234 steps, carved into the rock along the original narrow path that led from the bridge to the church. In 1974 the architect Guido Tisato was entrusted with the task of drawing up a project for a global intervention that envisaged the demolition of the existing Church, the preservation of the most valid and significant parts and the construction of a broader structure. Demolition and reconstruction of the Sanctuary were carried out between 1975 and 1978 and on June 4, 1978 the Bishop Giuseppe Carraro was able to proceed with the dedication of the new Sanctuary and the new altar. In 1982 the sanctuary was given the title "minor basilica". On April 17, 1988, Pope John Paul II visited and prayed to Our Lady of the Crown. Important VFR point for approaching airport Verona Villafranca e Verona Bosco Mantico. Within the downloaded package you will find readme files for scenery installatio, photos of site an flight plan. Good fly VFR. Pasquale Marrulli.

| Random Flight Database 3.5.2 |
|
File Description:
Random Flight Database is a simple and easy to use application.
​
It will allow you to randomly choose one or more VFR, IFR flights according to your criteria (type of plane, flight time, company, distance, departure airport, .....).
​
These flights are chosen at random from a default database, a user base created by yourself or according to the world aviation POIs.
​
A default database is already included, but also the possibility for each user to create his own database.
​
But that's not all, you can also extract the flights of the day for an airport, or extract the flights for a whole week.
Why Use RFD ?
The advantage of RANDOM FLIGHT DATABASE:
Extracted from FlightRadar but also from other databases, it chooses randomly among those where these databases according to your choices.
You can also make many other possible combinations, such as leaving each time from the arrival airport for each flight generated, but also selecting your favorite planes and airports.
Simply choose the departure airport, he chooses the arrival airport for you, choose the arrival airport, he chooses the departure airport for you and all this according to the real data of the airlines.
A tab for generating non-real flights is available, it will allow you to generate random flights from over 58,000 global aviation POIs.
​
Full of possibilities, including the possibility to choose the flight time but also to generate several flights while leaving the arrival airport.
You also have the option of creating your own data for inclusion in this software.
And one of the most important is that once the flight (s) are generated, you can send them to SIMBRIEF or PFPX to schedule this.
