| 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.

| Alaska North Slope 10; Kivalina KVL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and east of Barrow on the North Slope. There will be further additions. Kivalina is a small village (population around 350) midway in the 150 mile gap between Point Hope to the north and Kotzebue to the south. The village is on a spit of land that is growing smaller and smaller with every year of erosion and the rise of sea level. The runway is 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 12-30 to the north of the village on the same spit. It was expected that 2025 would see the end of both village and runway, and possibly also the natural harbour that is the reason for the village's location. The modified width of the spit shown here is halved from the original FS9, and erosion has continued, enough that a sea defence wall has now been built. The AI has a daily flight by an ERA Alaska Cessna 208B, and some GA; read the note about the 208 to be downloaded and/or properly installed.

| 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.

| 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.

| Anaktuvuk PAKP Runway and Taxiway Lighting in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Anaktuvuk is in Alaska, and this posting adds proper runway and taxiway lighting to the scenery, as shown in the screenshots. There will be runway and taxiway lights visible during the day and at night there will be lit lights that properly illuminate the runway for landing, and at a lower level of brightness the taxiways. Put the bgl's into the existing scenery folder of your previous Anaktuvuk PAKP installation and say yes to replace the existing bgl's that have the same names. 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. If you do all this and there are no textures to the lights then put the library textures into the Anaktuvuk texture folder too; FS9 has done some strange things while I was making scenery so I would never rule out a possibility.
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.

| Galena PAGA Runway and Taxiway Lighting in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Galena is in Alaska, and this posting adds proper runway lighting to the gravel runway that is used in the winter by light planes on skis, and because of that is not cleared of snow; unfortunately a gravel surface that gets snow covered in winter cannot be replicated in FS9. There are also taxiway lights visible during the day and at night there will be lit taxiway lights. I did not attempt to replicate the complicated main runway lighting which is well covered anyway by FS9. First of all, download and install the Library Objects once and for all from either the Allakaket Lights or Anaktuvuk Lights postings earlier this week. Then put these new bgl's into the existing scenery folder of your previous Galena PAGA installation and say yes to replace the existing bgl's that have the same names. Add the texture folder contents to the existing texture folder as they are required for the red warning lights at the ends of the gravel runway. 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.

| 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.
