| Terra Firma Ground Detail |
|
File Description:
Well, most of you probably have used a couple of different detail1.bmp textures either for FS9 or FSX. Many of those seemed to be aimed at achieving a grassy look. With this texture however I have tried to create a more alround yet more detailed look that will work on pretty much any terrain, whether you fly over mountains, farming fields or beautiful forests.
I've kept the texture size at 1024 x 1024 simply because I think it blends in better that way with the underlying default textures. And even with high quality addons I prefer this specific texture to enhance the underlying textures, I don't feel it should dominate it.
I'm an avid virtual bushflyer so I find myself flying over natural areas most of the time. So with that in mind I didn't try to create this texture for urban areas, however I don't think it looks that bad over cities.

| YPTN RAAF Tindal, Australia |
|
File Description:
Ants Aussie Airports Vol 5 : RAAF Tindal is a military base about 290kms south east of Darwin near the town of Katherine in Australia's Northern Territory. Tindal is a major front-line operational air base and home to No. 75 Squadron Air Combat Group (F/A-18). There is also a civilian apron in the north west corner of the airfield. This scenery contains photoreal ground textures and these are designed to blend in with the payware FTX textures (available from www.fullterrain.com). It is therefore recommended that you have the FTX textures installed if you wish to see this airfield at its best. I have tried to make this airfield as accurate as possible although as Tindal is a military base there aren't a lot of photos available so a lot of the hangars are "educated guesses". Almost all of the models have been custom made with the use of library objects kept to the minimum.

| Camden County Airport (19N), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 01 miles SW of Berlin, New Jersey on 75 acres of land, Camden County Airport is a small general aviation airport privately owned by Albion Airport, Inc. The airport can handle small commuter planes (like the Cessna 208B) as well as small GA craft. Tiedowns are available on both the grass turf at the west end of the airport and the tarmac on the east end. Fuel is only available on the tarmac - park next to the fuel trucks. Trees are summer time ONLY.
Scenery constructed with use of Google Maps images/streetview, the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 004. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.

| Nepal 1 Flight Plan |
|
File Description:
It has been a few years since my last visit to Nepal/Himalaya, amazing place - amazing airfields. Hoping to give you a small taste of the real
adventure of flying there I created This FP which contains the following six short routes east of Kathmandu:
Kathmandu - Lukla - Rumjatar - Lamidada - Bhojpur - Tumlingtar - Kathmandu.The runways (except Kathmandu) are all grass/dust, although i think
that Lukla gots an asphalt one by now.I have used A Beechcraft King Air 350 plane, weather clear, 12.00' local time, visibility 48Km/30 mi.
If you want to try it hard (i am sure you do so after a while) change the weather conditions to storm/heavy storm.
Included -in friendly printable version- six images as well (one for each flight) which contains a map view and a Navigation log as layedout at fs, so
that you can have the hands on the stik all time and enjoy the flights without a stop.

| Australian Capital Cities & Regional Airports |
|
File Description:
This is a basic update of FSX default Australian Capital City & Regional Airports BGL airport files.
Many gates have been resized where possible to enable larger aircraft such as b747s, A380s park in the international terminals. I have also added several gates to a number of airports and assigned ATC (airline) parking codes to all the parking spots. These parking codes have been aligned to the correct terminals. Military parking spots have also been added to many airports.
Note Melbourne airport (YMML) has also been updated from my last posting.
The airports included in this pack include:
Melbourne Intl - YMML; Canberra - YSCB (includes military); Sydney Intl - YSSY; Brisbane Intl - YBBN; Darwin Intl - YPDN (includes military); Perth Intl - YPPH; Adelaide Intl - YPAD; Hobart Intl - YMHB; Albury - YMAY; Cairns Intl - YBSC; Townsville - YBTL (includes military); Gold Coast - YBCG; Launceston - YMLT; Devonport - YDPO; East Sale (Military) - YMES

| Prudhoe Bay area on Alaska North Slope US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Prudhoe Bay area of the Alaska north slope is dominated by all the equipment and machinery that is necessary for the extraction of oil and its transfer by the pipeline that reaches south to Valdez. Prudhoe Bay airport is now closed, and its replacement just to the south is Deadhorse PASC, with numerous storage, maintenance, and accomodation areas immediately to the north of the apron, and others adjacent to the road between the two. The runway is just under 6,500 feet with approach lights at both ends and ILS on 04 (true heading of 75 degrees). This scenery reflects the overall situation in 2011 and oil production facilities and buildings are included here. The airport buildings and those close to the airport are replicas of the real life buildings; while as distance increases the accuracy fades somewhat there are everywhere replica trucks and cross country vehicles that are true to life. Deadhorse handles around 7,000 passengers per month as staff are rotated in and out on Alaska Air and ERA flights and by oil company private flights. There are also freight flights to complement the trucking effort up the Dalton Highway. The Alaska Airlines terminal building and ERA (the red buildings nearby) are at one end of the apron, while at the other end is a very large and new green terminal, storage, hangar building built by the airport authority. All of the airport components, runways, taxiways, and aprons, are built up on a gravel base to raise them above the surrounding terrain that floods with melting snow, freezes, or dries out, according to the seasons. There are other new airstrips included here that serve the oil industry. Around 33 miles to the east is Badami PABP airport servicing a subsiduary oil producing area, with 5,000 feet of gravel runway. Some 28 miles to the west of Deadhorse is Ugnu-Kuparuk UBW with just over 6,000 feet of gravel (gravel in 2011, it is now asphalted) servicing oil production by Conoco Phillips, which uses 737's to fly staff in and out. A further 32 miles west is Alpine AK15 with 5,400 feet of gravel and also served by the Conoco Phillips 737's. To the south of Alpine and connected by road is the village of Nuiqsut. To the north of Alpine and reachable only by air in the delta of the Sagavanirktok River is CD-3, an oil collection and pump station area with another gravel runway of 3,000 feet. Other airstrips that were prviously posted are now updated, Nuiqsut and Oliktok. I experimented, but decided against trying to reproduce the several hundred miles of pipelines. The are new AI aircraft, and there are notes regarding downloading. There is a new "cement" texture (not its name, but used as that by SBuilder) for the built up gravel bases. It is slightly darker than the original but not so much that any previous use will be spoilt. You may wish to download my "Alaska Frozen Rivers and Lakes" which freezes lakes and the northern sea and makes them landable on wheels.

| Stephenville CYJT in Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Stephenville is on the east coast of Canada, and the airport was an American base from 1941, when it was built, until 1966. It was named the "Ernest Harmon Airforce Base" and I will leave that for you to research if you wish to know more. Operating in my version (around 2010?) as a civilian airport, it's main features are a long 10,000 feet 09-27 runway (with ILS on 27) and acres of empty space. The runway was one of those designated as an emergency space shuttle landing runway if required. There is a shorter 20-02 runway (3,000 feet) that is not maintained during the winter (and which would be closed in 2018). The revised perimeter fence of the airport now encloses less than half of the original area, with the northern parts replanned as an industrial park. The attached screenshot from Google Earth shows this, and also that the main operating part of the airport is at the western end of the main runway, with only one hangar connecting to the runway from the eastern end. Like Gander, the airport is still shrinking, with taxiways and aprons not maintained (particularly in the winter) or even formally closed, and flight numbers falling. Until the early 1990's Stephenville was serving most of western Newfoundland and Air Canada, for instance, was one of the airlines that flew there. Deer Lake took over this task for western Newfoundland when the Provincial Government so decided. Stephenville remains as a port of entry, and planes with a total of 30 or less passengers can still be serviced there. My version is a mixture that cannot be precisely dated. For instance, I know there was a large hangar there until 2013 but as I do not have any photos to make it I have shown only the concrete square where it formerly stood. So 2008 or 2013, or somewhere in between? I have the airport being served by Provincial Airlines and also by Porter, though in fact Porter only flew there during the Summer months; I say "flew" as right now all flights are of course almost totally non-existent. As with Gander, I have made it clear which of the taxiways and aprons are still in regular use by showing them as asphalt, while those in the process of decaying disuse or removal are in the darker gravel or tarmac textures; this is somewhat realistic as when asphalt aprons are "ploughed" for removal the darker underside becomes visible. I have also shown the areas that now form part of the Industrial Park as cement, as this better matches the Ultimate Terrain road texture. It may seem odd that the new Canadian Coastguard hangar is not properly served by an asphalt taxiway instead of sitting on an apron that is not cleared in the winter, but it caters (mainly?) for helicopters. The original coastguard hangar is the large and decrepit one in the northeastern corner of the airport. Almost all of the buildings within the original perimeter of the airport are fairly accurately replicated here, whether still in use (Road Maintenance Department, Garbage Disposal, Armour Trucking Company, etc) or vacant (including the very strange atom-bomb-proof buried shelter) or still part of the airport (the east side of the main apron with Shell to the north, then the terminal, the Marine Institute, etc). The AI included here (a revised Gander AI) is for daily flights by Provincial Airlines, Porter, and some charter planes and GA. You will see, once the scenery is installed, that like Gander there two scenery folders called "Scenery summer" and "Scenery winter". Obviously in August you will want the summer scenery and you get this by editing the folder name down from "scenery summer" to just "scenery" and FS9 loads the summer ground textures. If FS9 decides that there is snow on the ground then you need the winter textures which do not show the aprons or taxiways that do not receive winter maintenance. One thing you must NOT DO is to edit both folders down at the same time.

| Helmericks 22AK on the North Slope, Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Helmericks is on the northern coast of Alaska, 150 miles east of Barrow and 50 miles west of Prudhoe Bay. It is on the shore of Colville Island in the delta of the Colville River, and hasn't changed much from when Harmon Helmericks set up house there in the late 1950's. He lived there with his wife and two sons guiding hunting trips and running a fishing operation, and then in 1966 he was involved in the first north slope exploratory oil well drilling operation by Sinclair Oil, which was to lead to the opening up of the north slope in the 1970's. Read "The last of the Bush Pilots" if you want to know more about it. The dirt runway is around 2,400 feet long (long enough for the Wien DC3 to get in with supplies) and the house is still there along with storage sheds. To the southwest are the other houses (three of them) which make up the rest of Colville Village. If you want to have the frozen lakes and river and sea then look for my recent post which will freeze them until you get bored and want to put your floats back on.

| Clyde River CYCY & Cape Christian in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Clyde River is a village on the northeast coast of Baffin Island, 250 miles above the Arctic Circle and around 150 miles north of Cape Hooper. It is on the shore of Patricia Bay at the entrance to Cylde Inlet, a fjord which stretches over 60 miles inland. The population is around 880 folks, and it was named by the explorer John Ross in 1818. The airfield is just east of the village and the lighted runway is 3,501' of 100' wide gravel at 87' ASL, aligned 018 True 198 True; "True" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. There are two aprons, one with the new terminal building and one with the old terminal and the garage. Five miles northeast of Clyde River is Cape Christian, where there is a gravel runway around 3,000' long and adjacent to the beach, built to serve what was started as a weather station and later became a LORAN navigation system station. The station is still there, though it was closed some time ago and is now the subject of decontamination work. The runway is usable, though only for light planes as it is a bit rough. First Air and Canadian North are the AI planes visting Clyde River.
