| Talkeetna Village AK44 in Alaska, REVISED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Talkeetna is around 75 miles north of Anchorage in Alaska, on the east shore of the Susitna River where the Susitna, Talkeetna, and Chulitna rivers join. The town is where Don Sheldon started Talkeetna Air Services. His story is told in "Wager With The Wind" by James Greinar and is well worth reading for the descriptions of mountain flying. There are two airfields at Talkeetna, PATK with its long asphalt runway and Talkeetna Village AK44 in the town. This is AK44; measuring the space left for the runway between the river bank in the south and the curve in the road that marks the north end of the field there is just enough space for the 900 feet of runway that is described in the book. The result is a step back in time to 1973, when the second hangar was built. Neither hangar has survived to today.

File Description:
A Gmax representation of Dragon Peaks Air Force Base also referred to as CL van Wyngaard Airfield, South Africa with photoreal textures.
AFB Dragon Peaks is a small airfield nestled between the hills on the slopes of the Northern Drakensberg of South Africa. The airfield is situated only a few hundred meters from the Dragon Peaks Mountain resort as well as the home of the famous Drakensberg Boys Choir.
The grass runway is aligned 06/24 and 458m long and sits at an elevation of 3 986ft.
The scenery consists of 64 square kilometers of photoscenery with variants for all 4 seasons. Almost 1 100 hand placed autogen buildings and more than 32 000 (yes, thirty-two-thousand) hand placed autogen trees makes up the surrounding scenery. At the airfield itself you will find custom made Gmax models of the airfield buildings and structures with photoreal textures.

| Torrey, Box-Death Hollow Wilderness, Aquarius Plateau, Utah, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The southern part of this region covers the Box-Death Hollow Wilderness, with its vertical gray-orange walls of Navajo sandstone. Then comes the Aquarius Plateau which is the highest timbered plateau in North America with Boulder Mountain. In the north you'll find the little town of Torrey, which is just eight miles west of Capitol Reef National Park. Extends my Grand Staircase Escalante scenery to the north.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_SouthWest3.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry.
Thanks to Joop Mak for providing a custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available here: www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Ralf-Peter, Jon and Laurent.

| Seiser Alm STOL and Gliding Area |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Seiser Alm, is the largest high altitude Alpine meadow in Europe. Located in Italy's South Tyrol province in the Dolomites mountain range, it is a major tourist attraction, known for skiing and hiking.
This is a simple fun creation of a real world R/C sailplane and Para gliding site in the Italian Dolomites. There is no airport, no flatten so you must exercise caution when landing a STOL aircraft or sailplane. I have landed many types here including sailplanes and the FSDS Porter as well as a Cessna 185. The nearest real world airport is LIPD Bolzano. There are two landing areas represented one high is the actual site where R/C sailplanes with wingspans of up to 10 meters are launched into the air, as well as paragliders. .The lower field is a bonus area with a nice flat area for easier landings and take offs. It is the real world site of a famous ski lodge and resort.(look for the Chalet!)

| Rescue Bill Bunyan |
|
File Description:
Jake, the Bold Airport (Alaska) manager just got a CB call from Bill Bunyan, master sasquatch tracker. Bill has hurt his right ankle quite seriously, and needs to by picked up by someone with a ski-equipped airplane. Your Maule is just such a plane. Bill isn't quite sure exactly where he is, but does know he's not too far from Bold Ridge. So you have one waypoint to work with. After that it's up to you. To help, Bill is burning a campfire. He says it's fairly flat at his location, but to watch out for bushes, small trees, and grizzly bears. As an experienced mountain flyer, you know that such rescues benefit from getting as much altitude as the weather allows, before getting into the mountains. Bill thinks he's in an area that's 4000 or more feet ASL, but it's snowing heavily. Don't forget to lower your skis before landing at Bill's location, and to raise them before landing back at the Airport.

| Morning Star Airport – Cape Town, South Africa |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Morning Star airport is situated just north of Cape Town, Next to the N7. A small GA airport with a nice view of Cape Town and Table Mountain and right under the runway 19 approach to FACT. I could not find any official code for the airport, so I called it FAMR. Though I could learn some new skills under the current lockdown, so this is my first attempt at combining most techniques for building an airport, including some hangers and the club house for images I found on the internet. Developed using the P3D V4.5 SDK and tested in P3D V5. Developed to be used with the ORBX OpenLC Africa LC product and I uesd some ORBX library objects.
I included a small update to Robben Island to level the area where the prison is (not sure where it comes from but it is not located in the correct place) and to show the reamains of the old runways on the island.

| North and Middle Farallon Islands Version 3 Update |
|
File Description:
Beta version 3 update: Adds the North and Middle Farallon Islands to the chain. To be used in conjunction with the Southeast Farallon Island Version 3 download available separately. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. These islands were created as scenery objects instead of traditional terrain in order to preserve detail.

| High Prairie CZHP in Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
High Prairie is at 1,974 feet asl, 15 miles west of Lesser Slave Lake, 70 miles southeast of Peace River CYPE, and 90 miles east of Grande Prairie CYQU (both already posted). The town has a population of around 2,600 and is based on agriculture, forestry, and oil and gas. The initial impetus behind its growth was the routing of the railroad in 1914. The airport is around 2 miles south of the town, and is fairly basic. There is a single runway just under 4,000 feet of asphalt aligned 07-25. There is a daily flight and around 2010 this was by Central Mountain Air. I believe that there is now a newer terminal building, but a lack of information leaves the older one in place here. There are runway and taxiway lights, unlike some of my recent posts. I made this to fill in the gap between Edmonton and the airports to the northwest such as Grande Prairie.

| Southeast Farallon Islands Version 2 |
|
File Description:
SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED UPGRADE OF PRIOR VERSION. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. This island is actually a scenery object. As such it doesn't have a landable surface. Future versions will have a helicopter pad, a lighthouse, and the 100 year old houses used by researchers.
