| Golden CYGE in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in one of the north-south valleys in the Columbia Mountains (which are part of the Rockies) on the border between BC and Alberta. The town of Golden (population just under 4,000) grew along with the Canadian Pacific Railway and the logging industry, both of which are still the mainstays of the town. Tourism is a more recent development along with the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, which is only 3 miles to the west of the town. There are occasional flights into CYGE related to the richer echelon of tourist groups for Kicking Horse, particularly at the weekends; three actual such flights are included in the AI. Golden CYGE is immediately to the west of the town beside the Columbia River, with the 4,500 feet of asphalt runway aligned 14-32; right hand circuits for 32. There are no runway lights or landing aids, and no taxiway lights, so this airfield is for daylight use only. There is a helicopter company based on the field (Alpine) and a volunteer search and rescue group, a skydiving operation at the northern end, plus an active club with a long open hangar with a club room. A friendly airfield. The AI helicopter was included in my post of Alma CYTF. The Beaver will not show up unless you have the Aerosoft Beaver installed. I found the other planes without a problem on flightsim or avsim. Due to the surrounding terrain AI aircraft will usually impact high ground before landing and then just show up on their parking spots. A northern wind improves but does not totally solve this.

| De Havilland DH-82 Tiger Moth (ZK-AQA & ZK-AYE) Nelson Aero Club |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains two repaints for Ant's DH-82 Tiger Moth Pro for P3DV4+. It shows two Tiger Moths of the Nelson Aero Club in New Zealand, ZK-AQA and ZK-AYE.
ZK-AQA, which was built in Hatfield and assembled in New Zealand in 1940 as NZ863. It was sold to a Mr. J. Reid in 1947. In 1950 it went to the Nelson Aero Club, and is shown in their service in this repaint. After several owners it wound up with the Auckland Gliding Club in 1961. In 1965, it crashed on take-off while towing a glider and it was damaged. Its remains were stored, but I'm not sure if they are still around.
ZK-AYE came from RAF stocks and was previously R4978.
It was built at Hatfield and assembled in NZ. It was shipped to New Zealand on "SS Rangitata" and BOC Unit 18 Rongotai 03 June 1940 and flew with No.3 EFTS, Harewood 1943-1944. After the war, it was issued free to Nelson Aero Club from Taieri on 15 September 1949 and entered the New Zealand Civil Aircraft Register as ZK-AYE on 02 February 1951. It was sold to A. Blechynden on 28 October 1957. The transfer was not notified to the CAA who cancelled it from the register on 28 November 1957. It rejoined the register with the new allocated registration of ZK-BVK in January 1958 and went to W. Scottof Karangahua in 1958. Unfortunately, it broke up in flight 10 miles north of Otorohanga on 07 May 1958 killing pilot and passenger. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Anthony Lynch

| Byron Bay, Cape Dyer, Cape Hooper, Dewar Lakes, and Durban Island adapted for the FSGenesis 76m North Canada Terrain Mesh |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are replacement bgl's to convert five northern Canada fields for use with the FSGenesis 76m terrain mesh for northern Canada. The five are Byron Bay CWBB, Cape Dyer CWFD, Cape Hooper CWFH, Dewar Lakes CWFL, and Durban Island CWFB. These are not stand-alone, and the presumption is that you have already downloaded and installed the previously posted sceneries. The installation consists solely of replacing the existing scenery bgl's with the new. There will be further posts of northern airfields in groups of five, alphabetically, and observations regarding the amendments and any further corrections that are required would be welcomed.

| Vineland-Downstown Airport (28N), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 04 miles NE of Vineland, New Jersey on 45 acres of land, Vineland-Downstown Airport is a turf field that mainly services crop dusting operations for the surrounding farms. It also can serve firefighting aircraft - in fact the second runway (12/30) is specifically for that purpose along with agricultural use. This airport as modeled in FSX is kind of inbetween the current layout and the past layout. Based on various images both satellite and other, it seems 28N has undergone some serious expansion since the MSE textures were created. A large paved area to the west of the airport has been built and has parking aprons for up to around 25 aircraft. If you use an add-on traffic program you might want to think about reconfiguring it to assign more flights to this airport because it can certainly handle them now. You can fuel up in your plane by stopping near the fuel tank on the north end of the west tarmac or in your helicopter by landing on the concrete patch north of the runway.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite 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.

| Lake Hood LHD and Z41 in Anchorage Alaska UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version that is complete in itself and which greatly upgrades Lake Hood Airstrip Z41 and also makes minor modifications to LHD. Lake Hood is right next door and to the north of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, and there is a second airfield on the north side of the lake called Lake Hood Airstrip. The airstrip is coded Z41, the International is PANC, and Lake Hood itself is LHD. You will need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada for this to work, and you should also download and install Anchorage International (verson 4?) by William Morgan of FRFStudio. LHD/Z41 includes a fair proportion of the 780 float planes that are based there and which make Lake Hood the largest and busiest float plane base in the world, averaging 190 flights per day during the year and a lot more than that per day during the summer months. There is fuel at two places on the lake, and a lot of maintenance help available. The documentation showing the VFR routes to Lake Hood is also included in the Lake Hood VFR procedures folder, and basically, if you listen to the ATC chatter, planes either route via the Ball Park or the Gravel Pit, which gets abbreviated to something like "You want the park or the gravel?" which wouldn't mean a whole lot to an unrehearsed stranger. Unfortunately FS doesn't reach that level of sophistication, but you can still take the right route. There is a google marked map showing the locations of the checkpoints.

| Toulouse Blagnac (LFBO) v1 |
|
File Description:
This is an addon scenery for FSX of the Toulouse Blagnac Airport LFBO. It has been made using the excellent freeware tool Airport Design Editor for the layout. I have used Sketchup from Google and Model Converter X to design the buildings of the airport.
You will find all the terminals of LFBO and the control tower, as well as the Airbus facilities of the A380 Lagardere plant North East of LFBO, the A380 delivery center Henry Ziegler North West of LFBO, and some buildings of the Airbus facilities in Blagnac, West of LFBO. All buildings have photo textures, most of them taking with my camera, as I am working in the area. All buildings include night textures. You have two landing pads for helicopters like in reality South East of LFBO.
I used google earth for some items position, but the current view not being up to date, I used my knowledge of the area to correctly position the taxiways, parkings, gates and building position.
I used the FSX generic buildings for the other missing buildings, however they have the size and position which corresponds as far as possible to the position of the real buildings. The surroundings of the airport not being too realistic with Ultimate Terrain X or with FSX, I have modified the landclass of the surroundings to make them look more in accordance with reality. I have changed the parking assignment to make sure that the usual traffic will park on the parkings E, F D AB, V and U.

| CNZ3 - Chatham-Kent - Ontario, Canada V1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is partly part of the Small Ontario Fields series. The airport ICAO was changed from CNZ3 to CYCK in November 2012; I have left it as it was. The runway too remains as it was a few years ago. Chatham is located 50 miles east of Detroit and 150 miles southwest of Toronto, between Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, and the airfield is southeast of the town. There is a single asphalt runway 5,000 feet long and 75 feet wide, aligned 05/23 in FS9 but in fact in real life now 06/24 due to the wandering magnetic north. The apron is on the northern side of the runway at the eastern end, with added taxiways to cater for newer hangars wearing identical colour schemes. There is fuel, runway lighting, some taxiway lights, visitor parking on the grass, and plane maintenance in the large hangar beside the small terminal building on the north side of the apron. There is a train station in the middle of the town, and no scheduled flights to the airport that is 8 miles away; these two facts may be connected. Ditches along the road and around much of the airfield provide separation, which is why the fences are not continuous. If you are on the runway and find your path to the apron blocked by another plane that is stationary at the hold short, continue past the first turnoff to the threshold markers and turn off the runway and wait. The AI plane will then taxi out and you will have a clear path.

| CYVQ - Norman Wells - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Norman Wells is the last of a series of airfields that are along (or close to) the Mackenzie River and in the Northwest Territories. It is 290 miles southeast of Inuvik and just 40 miles northwest of Tulita. The town growth was accelerated by the discovery of oil in the 1930's and the building of a small refinery in 1937, which is included here; there are now around 840 folks living in the town. The airport is adjacent to the town and has just under 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. North Wright Airways is headquartered there and this is reflected in the AI, which is for all of the newly-posted Mackenzie River postings. There is also helicopter AI, Canadian North, First Air, and there are GA flights. There is a mandatory frequency and the Norman Wells tower is manned 24 hours a day so you will follow atc instructions. In real life the terminal is on two levels; this steep change in terrain level is not possible to achieve in FS9 so although I made it as a two level terminal (ready for the FSX version?) it is here modified into a single level building. There are several "taxiways" which lead to the runway but are without hold short markings. These have been shown but are not included as AI routes. The helicopters presumably hover-taxi to the runway across grass (and snow) in real life; the AI helicopter will taxi on wheels. Note that at mixed-use airports planes and helicopters all follow the same rules of procedure.

| CYYQ - Churchill Port & York Factory - Northern Manitoba, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The main part of this scenery installs the Port of Churchill and the grain silos. Churchill CYYQ has been made by Sidney Schwartz, and this also adds AI and slightly modifies his parking to make a space big enough for Buffalo's C46. Churchill is in northern Manitoba, on the Churchill River where it empties into Hudson Bay. The town is accesible by air, by boat (once the winter ice melts) and most importantly by rail from the south. Grain from the Canadian prairies is hauled north and stored in Churchill for export to Europe by a sea route that is significantly shorter than any other, and there is a grain carrier included in the AI. Today there are perhaps 810 people living in Churchill, a slowly declining number. There are also a number of impressive polar bears. There was another port south of Churchill, but it was never completed, never connected to a railroad track, and never used. It was called Port Nelson, and was at the mouth of the Nelson River. Nearby, on the Hayes River, there is an old trading post called York Factory, built in 1684 and preserved as part of the living history of the north of Canada. The second scenery is for this, and for the nearby tourist camp called Silver Goose Lodge, which as the name suggests is for hunters. The large grassy area alongside the fort was for the trappers to camp on when they all arrived in early summer to trade the furs for goods.

| Tandragee airfield, home of "Kernan Aviation" - Northern Ireland - v1.00 |

File Description:
Tandragee airfield Northern Ireland, home of "Kernan Aviation" for FSX SP2/Accel/P3D. by Vassilios Dimoulas v1.00 6-10-2014br>
Kernan Aviation (http://www.kernanaviation.co.uk/) operates a fleet of microlight aircraft out of a home strip about two miles north of the town of Tandragee, Northern Ireland. The field is as described in their site, a home strip. There is a 300m long gravel runway with just 3.5m width. The runway intersects a road and has a generally North-South direction (actually 355-175 magnetic). There is an equivalent length grass runway to the east just over the small stream where students practice grass tngs and emergency landings. The field sports a roomy hangar, a clubhouse and a briefing house, as well as outdoor seating and barbecue facilities.
The scenery uses photoreal background and is made to match the FTX Northern Ireland region by ORBX. It will work best with that region activated. Seasonal variations are included for all seasons, including hard winter with snow (January). In order however to cater for those not having this scenery I have provided alternative background bgls for two more options, i.e. ORBX Global textures and GEX textures. The alternative bgls do not have the hard winter option as this is a feature only of FTX NI. The scenery will have also no problem to fit with UTX and Global vector. All buildings were custom made from photos of the original. The scenery has been tested and found to work also in P3D v2.3.
