Columbia River AI Floatplanes and Vessels

File Description:
An optional add-on for my cr_gorge.zip, these files add custom AI floatplane and ship traffic on the Columbia River between Washougal and The Dalles, as well as GA flightplans for some of the smaller airfields in the coverage area. Included are the HU-16 Albatross (Greg Pepper/Warren Landis), two variants of the Monocoupe 135 (Tom Miller), a S300C helicopter on floats (Jordan Moore), as well as Hovercraft and Jetfoil vessels by Mitsuya "Hama" Hamaguchi using repaints by M. Allen Richards and Dobro. All models have custom flight models and dynamic water effects. The included AI models can be utilized in other locations for which custom AFCAD files are available. For more details on AI floatplanes and ships see my ai_ships, ai_shipx, and ai_floats.zip packages.

Scenery Enhancements for the Innsbruck (LOWI), Austria

File Description:
New roads, railroads, streams, river, landclass, and waterclass for the Innsbruck area, Austrian Alps. Based on 30-m and 10-m satellite imagery. Not a finished product but rather a "Sunday afternoon" project :-) to illustrate the visual improvements that can be achieved with a few hours of time commitment and the help of the wonderful Ground2K4 by Christian Fumey. The scenery looks best with one of the SRTM-based add-on meshes. I have included my Ground2K4 source code so that interested users can improve on and expand the project area (requires a separate download of my pre-processed satellite imagery).

Water Effects for AI Ships

File Description:
These are updated water effects for my AI_ships.zip file package. They remove the issue of wind influence on the wake and spray effect. Simply overwrite the previous set of effects in your FS9 Effects folder.

Himalayan Peaks Volume 2 - Mt. Everest photoreal textures

File Description:
The photoreal textures in this package cover an area of about 100km (E/W) by 60km (N/S) featuring Mt. Everest and several neighboring peaks and are based on a Landsat 7 ETM 15-m multispectral image taken in October 2000. The relatively low resolution of the image makes for pretty grainy textures up close and I did not add any autogen, seasonal textures, or flattened water bodies. Nevertheless, I do believe the photoreal textures do a much better job at showing the grandiose alpine features of this area - rock faces, snow fields, glaciers, and bare ground - than generic landclass textures possibly can. The textures are placed for a best fit with our Mt. Everest area LOD10 terrain mesh, fs_him_01.zip, but probably work OK with the default LOD8 mesh of this area or third-party terrain mesh files.

Bella Coola Valley Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements

File Description:
One of the most spectacular watersheds of British Columbia's Midcoast, the Bella Coola Valley looks pretty boring in its default FS rendition. These files provide a LOD10 (38-m) mesh made from CDED1 0.75-arcsec data, a new landclass file, and accurate placements of lakes, rivers, streams, and roads. Also includes the glaciers of the Monarch Mt. Icefield and several forestry roads and clearcuts along the side valleys. Made with Ground2K4 based on Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery.

Landscape Enhancements for Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska

File Description:
This is a re-issue of my previously published landscape enhancement packages for parts of Southeast Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, and Washington State. These files have been edited and adjusted to be fully compatible with FlightOne's "Ultimate Terrain: Canada/Alaska" product. Also, I have adjusted some of Ultimate Terrain's lake and river elevations to better fit new third-party add-on mesh files, such as the "Cordillera" mesh by FS Genesis and my freeware mesh files made for the individual coverage areas. Please note: A registered copy of "Ultimate Terrain: Canada/Alaska is required!!!

US North Cascades Mountains and Northwest Washington Coast

File Description:
The files in this package completely replace the FS default landscape of the North Cascades Mountains and coastal areas of northwestern Washington State. Between Bellingham and Arlington (N-S), Orcas Island and Lake Chelan (W-E) you can now enjoy your VFR flights with accurate locations of coastlines, lakes, rivers, streams, roads, railroads, and power lines, as well as land use type (landclass) and terrain (add-on mesh). Also added are the larger glaciers of the majestic North Cascades volcanoes and peaks as well as several forestry roads and clearcuts outside the National Park and Wilderness areas. Made mostly with Christian Fumey's "Ground2K4" and Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast". Fully compatible with the recent freeware LOD10 add-on meshes of the western US. Mesh and landclass files will work in FS2002 but not the special scenery enhancements.
