| Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska |
|
File Description:
Add-on meshes can greatly improve the detail of the FS terrain but often conflict with the inaccurate placement of the other default FS landscape elements, particularly in coastal and mountainous areas. This project showcases new methods and software that allow for semi-automated development of FS landscapes from accurate source data. The files completely replace the default FS landscape of Southeast Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park and the adjacent Lynn Canal area between Juneau and Skagway (N58-60 W134-138), including shorelines, islands, and lakes, as well as glaciers, landclass, man-made features, and a LOD9 (76-m) terrain mesh. Optional AI floatplane traffic at four seaplane bases is included. A LOD10 (38-m) mesh of the same area is available as a separate optional download. FS2002 users please use fs8glbay.zip instead.

| Railroad "Under" textures for Ultimate Terrain v1.0 and v1.1 |
|
File Description:
The textures are for UT Canada/Alaska 1.0 and 1.1 not UT US.
These textures will greatly reduce the width of the underlay of Ultimate Terrain enhanced railroad tracks which I feel are too wide.
Be aware that these changes will also affect the look of the divided Highways.

| Killaloe CYXI near the Ottawa River in Ontario Canada |
|
File Description:
Killaloe is an old military airfield built for jet fighters in the 1950's,and now officially abandoned. It is 12 miles north of Madawaska Valley Airpark and just to the west of Round Lake, and there is no trouble spotting it as even from 20,000 feet (see the pic) it is very visible. This is mainly because it has a single 6,600 feet runway 29/11, which is likely to be useful if it all goes quiet and you need to land! So it is worth knowing about, even though the asphalt is not in a very good condition. It also continues to be used by the odd passing pilot who cannot resist adding another destination to his log book, though I have no personal knowledge of that. I understand local residents also use it for occasional drag racing, presumably unofficially.

| NAS Sunnyvale CA (KNUQ) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
In 1931, the city of Sunnyvale acquired a 1,000 acre (4 km���²) parcel of farmland bordering San Francisco Bay, then "sold" the parcel for $1 to the US government as a home base for the Navy airship USS Macon.
The location proved to be ideal for an airport, since the area is often clear while other parts of the San Francisco Bay are covered in fog. This is due to the Coast Range to the west which blocks the cold oceanic air which is the cause of San Francisco fog.
The base, originally named Airbase Sunnyvale CAL (it was thought that calling it Mountain View would cause officials to fear airships colliding with mountainsides), was accepted by the U.S. Navy on February 12, 1931 and dedicated NAS Sunnyvale on April 12, 1933. After the death of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, in the loss of the USS Akron on April 4, 1933, the Air Field (but not the Naval Air Station) was renamed Moffett Field on September 1, 1933.

| Vancouver Island and Inner Passage float bases in BC, Canada |
|
File Description:
This is a series of float bases to the east of the northern part of Vancouver Island. They are all zipped together because: first, they are all in the same geographical area and if you like one you may like them all; second it means I only write one set of notes; and third I only upload once. I was looking to fill in the gap between what Holger Sandmann and his cohorts have done with Alaska, and Vancouver and Vancouver Island to the south, and there are these 16 float bases in a stretch of 180 miles between the northern part of Vancouver Island and the mainland coast. And if you leave out the relatively isolated Rivers Inlet to the north then they are all within a 140 mile stretch. Some are on the east coast of Vancouver Island, but most are on islands between the mainland and the island.

| Excursion Inlet Cannery for the "Glacier Bay" scenery |
|
File Description:
Excursion Inlet is in Alaska and in the area covered by Holger Sandmann's scenery called "Glacier Bay" which you will need to have already installed. It might work with just Ultimate Terrain, but then there will be no float base in the same inlet (nicely modelled by Holger and the team) which from the air is pushed off to one side (as a significant landmark, not literally!) by a large cannery which has been there since 1908. And rebuilt several times, I hasten to add, so don't think you're getting a museum piece here. And the only thing nearby that looms larger than the cannery is nature; lots of water, mountains, and trees. For me to start this Holger's scenery had to be there, so without it you won't get the same result.
