| Johnson Creek 3U2 Forest Service airfield in Idaho USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in the mountains of Idaho, around 25 miles south of Big Creek U60, which was the second in the series to be posted. Johnson Creek is very regularly used for picnic fly-ins and overnight camping, as can be seen from the number of videos posted. Again, the creek does not appear in FS9 as it is only around 20 feet or so wide, plus within Ultimate Terrain I have streams turned off for the reasons given in the U60 post. The runway is at 4,933 feet ASL, 3,480 feet long, aligned 35-17, and in good condition. The shower facilities are south of the centre of the runway and on the eastern side; as a result planes mostly, but not all, park on the eastern side and towards the south. There are Forest Service workshop buildings on the east side of the runway near the centre. If you have a wind from the south then some AI planes will actually manage to land. I should have mentioned before that these are all made with only the default FS9 mesh, and that I will be reposting them again for use with the FSGenesis 19m mesh.

| Sulphur Creek Ranch ID74 private airfield in Idaho USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in the mountains of Idaho, around 30 miles south of Johnson Creek 3U2 which was the third in the series to be posted. Sulphur Creek Ranch is a privately owned airfield, serving the "Ranch", which translates into "restaurant-bar-lodge-and-holiday-cabins". The field is at 5,744 feet ASL, and the runway is 2,920 feet long and aligned 10-28. It is a single-ended runway, with 28 used for landing and 10 for take offs; this is down to a large chunk of mountain occupying the sky at the western end of the runway. The AI planes comply with this single runway concept and the only snag is that you cannot announce a landing as there is no runway offered for you to select for landing in the AI procedure. When taking off runway 10 is offered and you can announce take off. The land used by the ranch is mostly flat, and with a slant approach on finals and a late turn it is fairly straightforward. The largest landark is the man-made lake. Morgan Ranch 02ID is nearby and the grass area has been modified down in size as per reality. The buildings have been omitted as they are not adjacent to the runway and not visible, and I have no information on them.

| Backcountry airfields for 19m terrain mesh in Idaho USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These four backcountry fields are for use with the FSGenesis 19m mesh of Idaho, and are Big Creek, Johnson Creek, Dixie, and Sulphur Creek Ranch. They have been revised to fit and almost certainly do not work without the 19m mesh; a quick comparison with Big Creek before and after demonstrates the difference. I also have Ultimate Terrain installed. The three ingredients of terrain mesh, UT main roads, and UT streams, along with their individual margins of error, very often create conficts of space that make a grass runway impossible to site with it's correct length. Given the choice of turning off roads or streams (the terrain mesh cannot be turned off, obviously) I chose streams; the roads are less obviously incorrect, plus it matters not if roads go uphill while a climbing stream is to be avoided. On that basis the original series is reissued here for use with the 19m terrain mesh, on the presumption that you have already downloaded the original series. There are no textures or AI included as they remain the same as the originals, and the new scenery bgl's replace the originals to get the runways and grass etc in the right positions. There will be follow-on fields that are new, and all of the new ones will be only for the 19m mesh.

| Nimpo Lake CF04 and CF51 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Nimpo Lake is less than 10 miles south of Anahim Lake, and is a centre for fishing lodges and other "nature" activities such as hiking and hunting etc. As a result there is considerable float plane activity on the lake as clients are flown in, or out, to other lakes that are nearby, or just on sightseeing jaunts. This one, CF04, is the last of a trio of Nimpo Lake float bases, and is at the far end of the lake from the other two. It is for Nimpo Lake Resort, a lodge and cottages to accommodate anglers and hikers etc. To the south of the lake, and included here, is what I have called Nimpo Lake Land CF51. It cannot by any stretch of imagination be called an airfield, but it is a cleared area and it has been used by wheeled planes. There is no runway as such and it is somewhat bumpy. The AI and the Beavers were included in the posting of CAF8.

| Mary River CMR2 on Baffin Island in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a very early version of an airfield in Nunavut built to serve an iron ore mine some 100 miles south of Pond Inlet on Baffin Island. In 2004 the airstrip was just being built, with a very basic camp set up for the construction crew who then went on to develop the roads etc in the immediate area. The original plan was for an opencast mine, with ore being transported south on a new (and expensive) railroad link to a new port on the south shore of Baffin Island. This plan was later changed to a (much cheaper) road to Milne Inlet, north of Mary River. And there my story rests, as although production has now started I have no further information about the operating mine. Nolinor currently flies regular supply flights into the camp; the AI here is for the early days. The gravel runway is 4,800 feet long and 150 feet wide, aligned 124T-304T as all runway headings in the north are given as true rather than the unreliable magnetic, which would be 12-30. Runway lighting and PAPI was installed early on and is included here; signage is not and the apron is the early version.

| Backcountry USFS fields for 19m terrain mesh in Idaho |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These backcountry airfields are for use with the FSGenesis 19m mesh of Idaho; they almost certainly do not work without it. I also have Ultimate Terrain installed, with the settings as noted. The 15 airfields included here are almost all United States Forestry Service fields: 1U1 Moose Creek, 2ID7 Cayuse Creek, 2U5 Shearer, 3U1 Warren, 12ID Flying B Ranch, 24K Krassel, 75c Orogrande, I08 Cabin Creek, ID67 Lower Loon Creek, ID76 Wilson Bar, S81 Indian Creek, S92 Fish Lake, U54 Bernard, U79 Chamberlain, U81 Cold Meadows. There is also a 85U bgl included to remove the remnants of Soldier Bar which is impossible to make into a scenery with the terrain mesh, and spoiled the surroundings if left untouched and intact. The screenshots are typical examples giving a good impression of the terrain.

| Monument Valley UT25 and Oljato 05UT in Utah USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Monument Valley is an impressive sight in south Utah but not, unfortunately, in FS9. Unless you invest in a detailed terrain mesh there are no stacks of rocks reaching for the sky and the lasting overall impression is just of a desert. But I had already downloaded the land textures so I ended up making the Monument Valley UT25 airfield and the nearby Oljato 05UT, which has no buildings of any sort. Maybe I was bored. There is a lodge close to the field with dozens of cabins, but I had insufficient information so this is for the airfield only. The 4,000 feet of new tarmac is aligned 16-34 and is single ended with a large chunk of rock at the southern end; 16 is only used for landing and 34 is only for take off. The runway is not lit. Do not be surprised when you ask to select a runway for take off and FS9 only gives you 16 as a choice, even though you know this is the wrong one. When you accept it FS9 will quickly switch it to 34; apart from a possible sense of humour I have no idea why it does this. Nothing much to say about Oljato. What do you need? You actually don't need Ultimate Terrain as there are other land textures used here, so you will definitely need to have downloaded and installed the land textures "cny_south3west_2010 lr" and "cny_south3west2_2010 lr" by Gottfried Razek, as these land textures showed the runways in the correct positions. Look in the scenery library here or at the other place. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this (unless you count 4 as many) 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.
