| Norfolk International Airport (KORF) |
|
File Description:
Again, another instance of an airport I don't really fly into much but I decided to and yet again the default MS afcad is for lack of a better word, "nasty". This is an accuarate an AFCAD for Norfolk as it's gonna get folks. I've managed to include all terminal gates with accurate numbering and airline assignments as per the Norfolk airport website. Cargo areas and general aviation parking are also provided. This should definetely improve your experience in and out of the Norfolk Int'l Airport. As a note to users so that you do not think it was an error on my part, MS in their infinite grace decided to put the terminal almost on top of each other leaving a tiny space in between with which to park, let alone taxi. You may notice that when AI pushback they may pushback onto the aircraft behind them at times, there is, unfortunately nothing I can do about this short of removing all those gates and then you'd lose 50% of the actual gates in the airport...If someone at a future date makes some good ORF scenery, I'll update the AFCAD accordingly. Having said that, this is 10 times better then what the default MS afcad provides. Note: Independance Air is now using gate B18. The current AFCAD does not have a designator for that airline. Any of you flying
Independance or using them with AI they park at that gate.

| Skylab 2 Mission |
|
File Description:
The Skylab space station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA
Kennedy Space Center by a huge Saturn V launch vehicle, the moon
rocket of the Apollo Space Program. Sixty-three seconds after liftoff,
the meteoroid shield--designed also to shade Skylab's workshop
--deployed inadvertently. It was torn from the space station by
atmospheric drag. This event and its effects started a ten-day period
in which Skylab was beset with problems that had to be conquered
before the space station would be safe and habitable for the three
manned periods of its planned eight-month mission.

| Lanseria International Airport (FALA), Johannesburg, South Africa |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lanseria international airport is Johannesburg's second international airport and mostly cater to private jets, low cost airlines and many private general aviation and flightschool aircraft. It is a privately owned airport and can accomodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 757-300. This airport has seen John Travolta use it with his Boeing 707, the Hilton family with a private Boeing 757 and even the USAF have landed their C-17 Globemasters at the airport when Air Force one came here in the past with the latter landing at AFB Waterkloof.
This package started out as a conversion of the wonderfull FSX scenery of the airport by Lee Hall and converted with permission from the original author. It quickly expanded however to a project that now additionally includes photoreal ground textures that changes with seasons, many added fences and gates around the airport, inclusion of the shaded parking areas with parked cars, static airplanes (RWY12 and EZ scenery libraries needed to see this) as well as numerous objects around the airport and apron made by myself in Gmax to give the airport some FS9 life.
Also included is the wonderfull "apron light splashes" by Hans Günther Schnell who kindly gave me permission to use it for the night times.
I have also included a local mesh for the area for users of FSGlobal 2010 to eliminate the extreme elevation anomoly around the airport.

| TNCC - Curaçao International Airport |
|
File Description:
This is my first scenary, any problem or sugestion send-me an e-mail ([email protected]). The scenery was made using the Airport Design Editor, SketchUp 2017 an others.
Curaçao International Airport (IATA: CUR, ICAO: TNCC), (Dutch: Hato Internationale luchthaven) also known as Hato International Airport (formerly Dr. Albert Plesman International Airport), is the only airport for the island of Curaçao.
The airport is located on the north coast of Curaçao, 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from the capital Willemstad. Curaçao International Airport services flights from the Caribbean region, South America, North America and Europe and has the third longest commercial runway in the Caribbean region after Rafael Hernández Airport in Puerto Rico and Pointe-à -Pitre International Airport in Guadeloupe.
The airport serves as a main base for Divi Divi Air, Jetair Caribbean as well as EZAir; it formerly served as a main base for ALM, KLM, DCA, DAE and Insel Air.
Located on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, connects Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean. Curaçao International Airport is served by several airlines.
The Curaçao International Airport has one of the longest runways in the Caribbean, accommodating up to a Boeing 747. In the early fall of 2014, Curaçao International Airport opened a new General Aviation Center offering premier service in a separate building with a private entrance and exit and special amenities.

| Piaggio P-180 v2.0 |
|
File Description:
www.mariopilot.6x.to
What's new in version 2.0:
1) gMAX re-formatted model: FS-X compatibility, and new animations.
2) Completely new Avionics 100% XML formatted
3) new ultra-fine tuned flight dynamics
4) Hi-res virtual cockpit with 3-D throttles and 3-D virtual cabin.
5) Lots more...
Thanks to Andrew Spring of www.p166.com!! The Piaggio P-180 Avanti is a Luxury Jetprop. Its design is the result of a "thinking outside the box" project philosophy. It means that building techniques are standard while aerodynamics are unique for it's kind. It features a three lifting surface design, laminar flow wing and twin pusher turboprop configuration. Passenger comfort features the possiiblity of standing in feet inside the plane, low noise due to pusher propellers and "Pininfarina" designed arrangement. Performances are unique too, cruising at 395 KTAS (260 KIAS) at 28000 ft, a jet-like speed, being the P-180 a twin turboprop. The result is a 40% reduced operational cost respect to a jet of similar size, and 30% less respect to a similar size turboprop, all at same price of a small Jet. This model is 804 Kbs with c.a. 19000 polygons in c.a.170 assemblies. Features Clickable Dynamic Photortreal VC with Night Lighting, night lighted internals, Photoreal 2D Cockpit, Engine start Effect, advanced FDE, Customizable Payloads. **READ NOTES BEFORE FLYING**(README.TXT, P180_REF.HTM AND P180_CHECK.HTM, also available as reference and checklist in FS kneeboard...)

| Mesa Verde National Park, Cortez (KCEZ), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Mesa Verde National Park is famed for its numerous ruins of cliff dwellings built in the 12th century by ancient Pueblo people called Anasazi. Cliff dwellings are highly defensible stone villages situated under alcoves (rock overhangs) along the canyon walls. The largest cliff dwelling in the park is Cliff Palace, which is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. Cliff Palace contained 150 rooms and housed approximately 100 people. Unfortunately you won't see the cliff dwellings from the air, because they are under the cliffs but you will see everything else like all roads, trails and facilities. Very little is known about the Anasazis and the reason for their sudden departure at the end of the 13th century remains a mystery. Theories range from crop failures due to droughts to an intrusion of foreign tribes from the North. The name "Mesa Verde" stems from Spanish explorers seeking for a route from Sante Fe to California. They named the region Mesa Verde (spanish for green table) because of its high, tree-covered plateaus. High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads)
are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_West2.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 custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html .

| 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.

| Sachs Harbour CYSY in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sachs Harbour is on the southwest coast of Banks Island on the north side of Amundsen Gulf, around 240 miles northeast of Tuktoyaktuk and 180 miles northwest of Ulukhaktok. The village is the only permanent settlement on the island, and is located where it is to benefit from the harbour shelter provided by offshore land. The population is only 130 or so folks, who live on hunting and fishing with some tourism. One claim to fame is that the island is home to threequarters of the world's population of muskoxen and the second is the largest goose colony in North America. The airfield is on the plateau just above the village at 282 feet ASL. The gravel runway 084T/264T (true bearings in Northern Domestic Airspace) is 4,000' long and 100' wide and lit. The apron is on the south side at the centre of the runway and there is a new terminal building; there is JetA fuel available and perhaps 100LL in drums. To the west of the airfield are the deserted buildings of what was once a Department Of Transport weather station. Aklak Airlines flights (operated by Kenn Borek) fly to Sachs Harbour from Inuvik three times a week in summer and twice a week at other times; the AI will be included in the post of a revised Aklavik, and Inuvik revised and Tuktoyaktuk should be fully installed BEFORE Sachs Harbour.

| Kugaaruk CYBB and DEW Pelly Bay CWPB in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kugaaruk is on the coast of northern mainland Canada on the Boothia Peninsula, 60 miles into a deep north-south fjord-like inlet called Pelly Bay. The name was changed from Pelly Bay in 1999, and the population is around 800. Gjoa Haven is 150 miles to the west, and Hall Beach just over 200 miles to the east. Six miles south of the village, and connected by a gravel road, there is a NWS station and what remains of a DEW Auxiliary Site; the DEW site was closed in 1992, a year after the NWS station became operational. There is also a 3,350 feet long gravel runway beside Barrow Lake 2 miles east of the site, Pelly Bay CWPB. Kugaaruk airfield is adjacent to the village and the 5,000 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 049T/229T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic. There are flights by First Air and Canadian North and the AI includes a daily flight of each from Yellowknife via Gjoa Haven (as per real life) plus a cargo visit by Buffalo. Although the runway is long enough to accomodate a 737 it is not licensed for regular scheduled jet flights; the reason for this is that the approach lighting is "inadequate". Included here is a new .bgl for Gjoa Haven which will remove the small hold short line from the gravel; my mistake.

| FS9 Allakaket 6A8 in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Allakaket is on the Koyukuk River in Alaska, 40 miles southwest of Bettles. The population is just over 100, with a school that was opened in 1957 for both Allakaket and the nearby Alatna on the other side of the river. There was a very serious flood in 1964 with almost all of the village being underwater, and this resulted in the establishment of an additional housing area further inland and explains the thinly scattered housing in the original village site. The airfield was established in 1978 and has a gravel runway aligned 5-23 (or 05-23 if you are not American) that is just over 4,500 feet in length. Both the runway and the taxiway are marked with lit cones. The village airfield is served by Wright Air and Warbelows Air, both of them being based in Fairbanks and included in the revised AI for PANN that is included here. There are occasional other larger freight flights as required as there is no road access to the village and the river is too shallow to allow large freight barges; hence the runway length.
A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.
