| Boeing B-17G "Sentimental Journey" N9323Z |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the FSX Wings of Power II Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, in the markings of the CAF Arizona Wing's B-17G "Sentimental Journey," N9323Z. "Sentimental Journey" rolled off the Douglas assembly line in late 1944, and was accepted by the Army Air Corp on March 13, 1945. Being delivered too late to serve in the European theater, the aircraft was assigned to the Pacific theater for the duration of the war. The aircraft served in the USAF until 1959 when it was put into storage. Within a few months the aircraft was acquired by the Aero Union Corporation of Chico, California and flew thousands of sorties against forest fires as a converted tanker. In 1978 the aircraft was donated to the newly founded Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force, and after a local contest the aircraft was named "Sentimental Journey." The decision was made to use the most famous pinup picture of WWII for the nose art, which of course was that of Betty Grable's most tantalizing. Over the years the aircraft has been brought back to its WWII configuration, complete with all turrets, crew positions, bombay, and markings of the 457th Bomb Group. The aircraft makes on average each year an amazing 60 airshow stops nation wide.

| Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933 |

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933. Known for 75 years as Moffett Field Naval Air Station, this unique site started life as Sunyvale Field (then Air Station) and was planned as the west coast base of the new Dirigible U.S.S. Macon.
The Macon was a new direction for airships in that it carried a squadron of fighter/scout aircraft and would provide for the U.S. Navy a 'carrier in the sky'. To provide for this new queen of the skies a new base was created with a unique hangar, for many years the largest free-standing wood construction in world.
This scenery attempts to capture Sunnyvale as it was first opened in 1933. I have taken a few liberties like adding in full grown trees that were part of the original master plan but I believe you will find this base captures the spirit of the original. Scenery contains custom FSDS and Gmax models as well as period AI from J.R. Lucariny (F9C SParrowhawk) and a custom repaint of the default Ford Trimotor by Ed Moore and Gary Smith.

| Piedmont Airways Boeing 767-201ER 'Pride of Piedmont' (N603P) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a nostalgia repaint. This airframe, registration N603P and named 'Pride of Piedmont', was Piedmont Airways' first B767. It was delivered to Piedmont from Boeing in May of 1987. I first saw it at KBWI and it looked so impressive at the gate parked among the B732's B733's, F50's, Dash7's and other turboprops of the Piedmont fleet of the time. She was a true giant then. This airframe still flies for US Airways in their new livery and bears registration N245AY. It makes runs from KPHL to/from the west coast (KLAX) and from KCLT over the pond to EGLL on occasion.
This is a detailed repaint with custom textures. Logos are all hand-painted. All windows are custom, hand-painted, 3D with window shades. The night textures are custom as well. The repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps for best clarity and quality. The pushback tug bears the Piedmont logos. I hope you enjoy flying this wonderful aircraft as much as I did creating it.
(This is a reupload of a work from October 2009 that was lost as a result of the AVSIM site compromise.)

| Ivujivik CYIK in Hudson Bay, Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ivujivik is a village of 350 or so inhabitants at N62 25 W78 on the northeastern corner of Hudson Bay. The village does not feature in FS9 but is included in this scenery with approximately the right shape (the coast, even with UT, is not exactly right) so just think of it as a hand-made auto-generated village which gives the airfield a reason. The runway is 3,500 feet of gravel 100 feet wide, which should be enough. I also added the roads, deleted the stock airfield background and added a new background, plus of course there is the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI. You may note that the terminal has the elevation written on the sign as 126', while on the winter photo it is written on the older & bigger sign as 130'. I thought this is because satellite radar has fixed the elevations of all airfields more accurately than before, as Rockcliffe too has gone from 192' to 188'; the alternative explanation is that global warming has raised sea level by 4'. Wow! That's a thought. I presume the new sign was made smaller as a cost saving.

| Caribbean, Montserrat, Blackburne airport |
|
File Description:
Blackburne Airport, also known as W.H. Bramble Airport, was a small international airport near the southwest coast of the island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
The airport was located near the now-abandoned capital of Plymouth and was destroyed on the 25th of june 1997 by an eruption of the nearby Soufrière Hills volcano.
For several years afterwards, Montserrat had been only accessible by helicopters or boats until July 2005 when the new Gerald's Airport was completed on the north end of the island.
The approach to Blackburne's runway 15 was rather spectacular and difficult. That's why it was very popular among flightsimmers. Ever since the airport was destroyed end of june 1997 it was left out of subsequent releases of Flight Simulator. This scenery gives you the opportunity to fly over there again.
The scenery is provided with some special effects: the volcano Soufrière Hills shows an ash cloud and is erupting from time to time, including sounds, the capital Plymouth is burning at several places caused by debris from the volcano and fires are threatening the airport.
Please read the enclosed readme.txt for information on how and when the secial effects show.

| Brindisi Puglia Italy the city |
|
File Description:
Brindisi Puglia Italy. Brindisi stands on a natural harbor, an inlet that is wedged deeply on the Adriatic coast of Puglia. Within the outer arms of the port there are the Pedagne islands, a tiny archipelago that is currently not accessible because it was used for military purposes (the UN Schools Group, a base built at the time of the intervention in Bosnia). Presenting a morphology of the flat territory, the entire municipal territory falls within the Piana di Brindisi and is characterized by the high agricultural vocation of its land. It is located in the north-eastern part of the Salento plain, about 40 km from the Itria valley and then from the first offshoots of the low Murge. Not far from the city is the Torre Guaceto State Nature Reserve The Ionian Sea is located about 45 km instead.The northern municipal area is washed by the main watercourse of Salento, the Canale Reale which flows into Torre Guaceto. Important VFR point for approaching airport Brindisi.
Within the downloaded package you will find readme files for scenery installation. Good fly VFR. Pasquale Marrulli.

| CYCS - Chesterfield Inlet - Nunavut, Canada Modified V1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version of Chesterfield Inlet corrects the VASI position on the runway, and also updates the taxiway edge lights to a newer and smaller version which is more realistically sized. This is a complete version and does not require you to have installed the old version. There is new AI, which is for Arviat, Whale Cove, and Chesterfield Inlet; this enlarges on and replaces the version posted with Whale Cove so use this one. The First Air and Calm Air flights also visit Rankin Inlet (made by Sid) and the GA flights originate in Rankin Inlet. There is a revised Rankin Inlet bgl so that the planes are allowed to use the gates. Chesterfield Inlet is a small village on the west coast of Hudson Bay, with a population of 340 or so. It is the oldest community in Nunavut and was established around a Hudson Bay Company post in 1911. It is 55 miles north of Rankin Inlet (Sid and Pete's post). The airfield is close to the village and has a gravel runway 3,600 feet long aligned 124T/304T (true, not magnetic).

| Oahu Scenery Version 1 |
|
File Description:
This scenery sits on top of "MegaSceneryX - Hawaii - Honolulu and Oahu Island", SO IT REQUIRES THE MEGASCENERY X - Hawaii - Honolulu & Oahu Island" photo scenery from http://www.megascenery.com/
This is primarily an Autogen scenery with some custom developed objects for the coast of Oahu.
I used autogens from default FSX for the most part as well as the FSX Acceleration. IF you did not install acceleration, it should not be an issue. you would just not see some of the autogens from the acceleration package. I have also included some custom built GMAX Objects with this package. There is also an AFCAD file for a new fictitious Heliport that is included ("PMMH)".
This scenery package also includes a Mission called "Oahu Sacred Falls Landing". It is a short mission without any surprises or twists, yet I am confident many of you would find it interesting and very very challenging. But do not be discouraged at the difficulty of completing the mission. You may want to turn off crash detection to make it easier if you'd like. The fun is in the journey..right?
Lastly, I have included a fix for my MM_PHNGv1 scenery as part of this package.

| Chilko Lake CAG3 & Scum Lake CAW3 in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Chilko Lake and Scum Lake are both on the eastern side of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Chilko Lake CAG3 is around 30 miles south of Puntzi Mountain and at the northern end of the lake, serving Tsylos Park Lodge, which caters for trekking, horse riding, mountain biking, fishing etc. The runway is 3,200 feet of gravel aligned 18-36 and unlit, at 3,850 feet ASL (above sea level). Scum Lake is around 30 miles southeast of Puntzi Mountain and 25 miles northeast of Chilko Lake. Don't ask me about the name. The airstrip appears to serve a small village and is noted as "private", so perhaps also a lodge operation. The runway is 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 03-21, unlit and at 3,921 feet ASL. I have posted these as a separate scenery, but I suggest that you just add it to your previously created "BC airfields" and avoid the inevitable doubling up of common textures etc. Plus that way you will have just one FS9 library post to do and new airfields will not need yet another posting. Up to you. If you find a defect, email me.
