File Description:
This project includes the neighboring Goma Intl (FZNA) and Gisenyi (HRYG) airports. After Goma's only runway was severely damaged by the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in 2002, the runway, originally 3000m long, was reduced to 1800m of serviceable pavement after lava flowed onto the northern part runway and through the city center. In 2013, German NGO Welthungerhilfe ("World Hunger Aid") signed a contract to rehabilitate 500m of runway damaged by the lava flow. Goma resumed scheduled international flights in 2015, and this project reflects the airport as of March 2016, with runway 18/36 renumbered to 17/35. SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh brings the volcanoes in the area into much greater detail. This scenery is complimented by the Kigali Intl (HRYR) scenery (FSX_HRYR_Kigali_2016.zip).
Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the set created by Jim Dhaenens.

File Description:
This sequel to the 2009 Kigali Intl (HRYR) Rwanda scenery (by Jacques Botha and Frits Beyer) brings it up to date with the current layout and enables full compliance with FTX Global/Vector and FSX. Buildings are added and adjusted to their real-world locations, and the new taxiway and south apron are added according to the May 2016 satellite imagery. In addition to real-world gate locations, custom apron markings are added along with apron lighting. The landclass around Kigali is also updated, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh is included. This scenery can be complemented by the Goma (FZNA) and Gisenyi (HRYG) scenery (FSX_FZNA-HRYG_CS.zip), and GA flightplans are included to supplement the commercial traffic at Kigali and provide more activity at FZNA and HRYG.

| HALA - Hawassa Intl. - Hawassa, Ethiopia |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project adds the booming city of Hawassa, Ethiopia, creates the new international airport (HALA), moves (and rebuilds) the downtown airport (recoded to HALX), and includes AI flight plans for the Ethiopian Airlines service that began April 2016. Tested in both the default FSX: Acceleration and with FTX Global/Vector, accurate coastlines, lakes, road data, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. The Hawassa International Airport was created using information from the current satellite footprint and the promotional video from Ethiopian Airports Enterprise (EAE). Although there is still very little published data on the airport, it is fully functional.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project adds and updates all of the airports of Bhutan. Bathpalathang (VQBT) and Gelephu (VQGP) are added, Yongphulla (VQ10) is updated and recoded as VQTY, and Paro (VQPR) is fully updated to reflect current satellite imagery. These are all fully functioning AI airports as well. Special attention was given to the entire Paro Valley, and numerous road/river vectors were updated around Gelephu. Accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. They are optimized to fit seamlessly with FTX Vector's roads/water, but they should be fully functional in all FSX configurations.
GA-encoded flight plans for the Buddha Air/Kathmandu charter are provided to enhance service to Paro. NASA SRTM Global 3 arc second terrain mesh is also included for all of Bhutan. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery, when available. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.

File Description:
Hawaiian Airports Part 3
This scenery features the airports at Princeville, Port Allen, Waimea and Upolu. HI01-Princeville and PAK-Port Allen are located on the island of Kauai, the film location made famous by Stephen Spielberg's blockbuster, Jurassic Park. PHMU-Waimea and PHUP-Upolu are located in the North West of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island. All runways, aprons, taxiways and buildings have been repositioned to their correct locations, and the scenery has been recreated based on photos of the real airports. The scenery features many animated objects including people, aircraft, animals, waves, cars, trucks and many more. Full night textures with light maps are included.
All the scenery files have been sub-divided so they can be switched on or off according to user preference and hardware configuration. It has been designed for, and tested in DX9 and FSXA only. The airports include sloped flattens so they can also be used with high density mesh. This file also includes updates for Hawaiian Airports Part 2. Please enjoy, and I hope you like my scenery as much as I enjoyed building it.

| Airstrips of Switzerland |
|
Images related to this file:
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.

| Hewanorra TLPL on Saint Lucia in the eastern Caribbean |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Lucia island is to the north of the Grenadines, between Martinique and Saint Vincent. St Lucia is nearly 30 miles long and has a population of 175,000, with two airports. Hewanorra International is at the southern end of the island, the end furthest from the capital, Castries. The reason for this is that at the southern end it was possible to build a runway almost 9,000 feet long, while the airport in the north (Vigie) could not be extended further to accomodate the largest jets. The airport was originally a USAAF base, converted to commercial use.
All buildings are made with photographic textures and include the new terminal and a new control tower. The apron has been extended so that 747's etc can be accommodated, and there are regular international flights by Virgin, BA, Air Canada, Air France, etc and local connecting flights by LIAT; the AI includes both major international airlines and LIAT. The towns around the airport (Vieux Fort etc) are included here: the scenery is based on the "Lesser Antilles Mesh" which is required and can be downloaded for free.

| 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.

| Driftwood Bay AK23 near Dutch Harbor Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is Driftwood Bay, an Air Force field that is just 13 miles northwest of Dutch Harbor, and was once part of a DEW line station with a road heading up the hill.
In FS9 the stock runway is concrete and if you have a mesh with the hills correctly positioned then the runway sits in a deep hole on the hillside. In fact the runway is gravel, 3,500 feet long and aligned 32/14 next to the beach, which is where I moved it to. The beach, as configured by Ultimate Terrain (and contrary to my previous doubts, UT does cover the Aleutians) is incorrect, in that a marshy area just behind the beach is shown as sea with large indentations in what should be a fairly straight line of sand. However, this does not squeeze AK23 in any way so I left it; consider it to be a spring high tide. There is very little at AK23 beyond a gravel runway and a windsock and the AI is an Alaska State Troopers Piper Super Cub from Dutch Harbor, presumably monitoring the numerous Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge areas.

| China Airports |
|
File Description:
Afcads, Exclude files and grass skirtings to create 29 minor airports in China which Microsoft omitted from FS9.
Made primarily with Ultimate Traffic users in mind, and designed for use together with Curt Jardey's China_1.zip, China_2.zip and China_3.zip, and Jan "Uranusjay" Martin's tibet_95.zip, to activate all the Chinese airports in UT's database and provide full UT traffic in China. Airports built using official CAAC charts, so runway locations, dimensions, alignments, elevations, navaids, and apron dimensions are fairly accurate. Parking spots mostly fictional! And no airport buildings included!
Tested only with default FS9 scenery mesh.
