| Anahim Lake CAJ4 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Anahim Lake is around 55 miles east of Bella Coola by air, and clear of the deep and rugged valley that connects the two with a road that is over 75 miles long. The two are also linked by a daily Pacific Coastal flight. A further 150 miles east is Williams Lake (200 miles by road). The town of Anahim Lake is small, but renowned for numerous surrounding fishing lodges on the lakes and the enjoyment of "nature" in what is known as the Chilcotin Wilderness. The Anahim Lake airport is an odd one. It appears to have fallen into disuse over a period of years, but is now in the process of being upgraded, with some new hangars (though oddly situated, and with only dirt track taxiway access) and a recently completed terminal building. There is also a plan to upgrade the runway (lights etc, there are currently no runway or taxiway lights) and in general to greatly improve the facilities on offer. The only current airline to fly there is Pacific Coastal. The runway is just under 4,000 feet of asphalt aligned 13-31 and 75 feet wide. There used to be another runway which is still visible but is now unusable, gravel that has not been maintained for several years. The notes for Anahim Lake airfield in the Nav Canada manual warn of "Extensive float plane activity at Nimpo Lake to the south" and of "possible large animals within the airport perimeter". Nimpo Lake activity will follow in further posts.

| Allakaket 6A8 Runway and Taxiway Lighting in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Allakaket is on the Koyukuk River in Alaska, 40 miles southwest of Bettles. This posting adds proper runway and taxiway lighting to the scenery, as shown in the screenshots. There will be lights on top of traffic cones visible during the day, just as there are at Allakaket in real life so that pilots can still see them after a snowfall. At night there will be lit lights that properly illuminate the runway for landing, and at a lower level of brightness the taxiway. Put the bgl's into the existing scenery folder of your Allakaket 6A8 installation and say yes to replace the existing bgl's that have the same names. Add the texture bmp's to the texture folder. That's all, and in fact you could try it without the textures in the Allakaket 6A8 texture folder, but read on. Instal the Library objects once and for all by placing the CONTENTS of the Lighting Library scenery folder in your static objects scenery folder and the CONTENTS of the texture folder in the static objects texture folder (which is how I install scenery objects libraries). Alternatively, put them in the scenery and texture folders of your Add on scenery folder, or even in the main scenery and texture folders. They just have to be in related scenery and texture folders that are always active when FS9 is running. There will be further retro upgrades to other recent scenery that was posted with temporary lighting. Say thank you to Greg Putz for making the lighting.

| Drivable and Flyable Grey Van |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Drivable and Flyable Grey Van is derived from a stationary Euro Van model by the following modifications / additions:
-land-vehicle instrument panel
-sound files
-FSX effects and custom exhaust smoke effects files
-modified .CFG and .AIR files
The vehicle is powered by a single aircraft piston engine with modified flaps to serve as a gear-shift. High gear allows the vehicle to speed up to 70 Kt on wide highways, while the low gear restricts the speed to about 12 Kt, but enables the vehicle to ascend steep slopes for exploring terrain scenery.
At speeds around 65-70 Kt (in gear 4), pulling back on the yoke will allow the vehicle to take off and fly at level-flight speeds around 70 Kt. This is an interesting way to go island-hopping, overcome insurmountable terrain obstacles, or cover larger straight-line distances without using the slew mode.
An autopilot with hold altitude and hold heading options is operable during flight only.
All dashboard instruments are fully functional, including the Radio-Magnetic Indicator (RMI) during flight. Needles 1 and 2 are activated if correct frequencies are entered in the ADF and VOR radios.
The vehicle has lights which are toggled by pressing [L]. Lights are associated with a very thin exhaust smoke effect. Thick exhaust smoke is toggled by pressing [I].
Driving vehicles through FSX scenery in different seasons presents a whole new aspect to the simulation. It allows us to imagine discovering innumerable places on the planet which are in practice beyond our reach.
I hope you enjoy!

| Editvoicepack ATC Phraseology Modifications Set 6 |
|
File Description:
Nine simple changes via EditVoicePack to the default FSX ATC, all to do with flight following, VFR Class B and C airspace transits, and VFR transponder codes.
To make things sound slightly more international, the term VFR "flight following" has been changed to "radar information service" (i.e. a generic term which indicates radar-based traffic info in Class G airspace, but no avoidance vectors).
When requesting a VFR transit of Class B or C airspace (whether or not you're on flight following), ATC will now mention that they're giving you/upgrading you to a "radar advisory service". In other words, you're now in controlled airspace, so ATC can suggest vectors to avoid traffic if the situation warrants it. Of course, FSX's ATC doesn't actually give vectors for traffic, so we'll have to suspend belief here! ATC will also cancel your radar advisory service when you leave that unit's Class B or C.
Finally, "squawk 1200" is changed to "squawk VFR", for those in the world who don't use 1200 as the VFR code.
Install with EditVoicePack 4.0 (see here if you need information on how to do this: http://www.editvoicepack.com/).

| Druine Turbulent |
|
File Description:
A 'generic' Turbulent, representing no particular aircraft, this is a relatively basic AF99 model, (no animations), dusted down and re-polished for FS2004, and fitted out with a custom set of xml gauges on an aluminium panel. This is definitely an aircraft to be sat in and flown, not examined in detail from the outside, the features just aren't there. An old favourite of mine, first designed "way back when" in A&AF for FS4, now dragged back out of the hanger and used as an ideal "lo & slo" aircraft with photographic VFR scenery and/or a good terrain package, the small panel allowing a much better view in flight than many other aircraft. With a cruise speed of 80kts you'll not be in a hurry to get anywhere, but with a landing speed of around 30kts and a take-off roll of "not a lot" you can operate into and out of any farmstrip. These slow speeds, combined with the relatively good visibility from the cockpit, also make this an ideal aircraft for "tailwheel conversion" ... great if you have problems landing the Extra 300 or possibly even the Cub.

| CYFB - Iqaluit Airport - Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut, a vast northern region that covers almost all of the Canadian North. The airport is of critical importance to the community, especially when ice makes boat travel impossible.
The scenery includes all airport buildings with custom designed and generic buildings nearby. Several typical airlines are represented, both by their flights by their facilities, including First Air, Canadian North, Air Greenland, Ken Borek Air and Keewatin. The Airbus A380 was in Iqaluit in February 2006 for flight testing in cold weather, as do other manufacturers. Airbus will also carry out the same tests for its new A350.
CYFB is also a Canadian Force base. Several units are parked in the military area, in addition to the C- 177 and his escort on ramp 2. A Twin Otter from the RCMP, and some general aviation aircrafts complement the fleet. Six ships are in the scenery: four static and two mobile (AI). Zodiacs and a balloon tourist flow into the bay. These, and the ships AI, start their movements 1100Z. The weather station launches a weather balloon regularly. Three small caribou herds are in the vicinity.

| Airstrips of South-West France |
|
File Description:
Part two of my "Airstrips of Western Europe" project, these 90+ sceneries are mostly default basic airstrips from FS2004, enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces and aprons as appropriate, to facilitate the activation of lightweight GA AI traffic, primarily over the south-west of France. Hopefully these will allow a degree of continuity between my previous upload (Airstrips of North-West Europe) and the existing freeware releases for Spain and Portugal.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.
A good number of airfields in this area have been neatly implemented in the "Occitania_VFR" package, so I've not duplicated their work.
Also included are some "bonus" sceneries from further north that weren't included in my previous upload. Just copy them over as appropriate if required.

File Description:
Just a small collection of of ai-enabled airfields, that don't appear to have been implemented by other authors, to further expand my Airstrips of Europe project.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration. As before, the files for each airfield can be easily identified by the ICAO code, even if the airfield names vary slightly, so you can pick and choose and mix and match to suit any sceneries you already have, should you so wish. There is no requirement for any other download. Each airfield will exist as a stand-alone entity should you only want a few of them. Please read the rest of this "blurb" in the included text file. There may be some details of note or interest.

| Cessna C172M (SX-AWD) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a representation of SX-AWD, of the Athens Aeroclub based in Tatoi LGTT, north of Athens. It is used by all club members holding a PPL and is the next step of graduation by all pilots who have completed their basic training in the trusty smaller brother the Cessna 152 II. It is also available for pleasure flights and initiation flights for non members.
The actual plane is an older "M" model with carburetor equipped engine so there are several model differences from the "R" represented by A2A including antennae, landing lights on the nose and very different cockpit with no headrests and different door interior and instrument panel. The actual one is also equipped with an ASI in mph instead of knots.

File Description:
The payware scenery "Kamchatka - The Lost World" is designed by "RU Scenery Design" and distributed by Aerosoft.
You need this scenery to use this file.
Developers unfortunately are not installing the AFD file properly and itself misses some important information.
This fix improves the scenery Afcad file with new features and adds night lighting which by default is not enabled.
It was developed in P3D (Prepar3D) 3.1 containing ORBX FTX Global Sceneries but is compatible with FSX as well.
The scenery is improved with windsocks, PAPI lights, new taxiway runway and approach lighting, new parking positions according to official charts and taxiway signs that are not available in the original scenery.
Cpmpatible with both FSX and P3D.
