| Find ICAO in BGL-files |
|
File Description:
Data about airports and navaids (among others) are contained in binary files - generally in ...\scenery\*.bgl files in FS9 as well as in FSX. Apart from simple modifications of such data, which are possible using the AFCAD 2 AddOn tool, changes of parameters at a specified location have to be made within one of the bgl files mentioned by disassembling, re-writing and re-compiling them. As there exist hundreds of these files in the simulation program, it is not easy to find the correct one for a modification of the corresponding data.

| Alma CYTF in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the second of five sceneries around Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada. Alma, the town, is 7 miles east of Lac Saint-Jean, on both the northern and southern banks of the Saguenay River. The airfield is at the southern edge of the town, with a single 13-31 runway 5,000 feet long and approach lighting at both ends. There is a visible ILS sytem but this was no longer in operation by 2010, the approximate date setting of this scenery. The largest operation on the field, by far, is Panorama Helicopters (actually Helicopteres Panorama) and this is reflected in the AI and a parked static helicopter. The ai includes helicopters that were originally posted as part of the payware Alaska Fjords series, with the permission of FSAddon. There are also other planes listed that will be required here or for the future posts in this series and are included here. The amphibious Beaver AI plane will only be available if you already have the payware Aerosoft Beaver installed, and I should have made it clear that the float Beaver included in the CTD3 AI was also an Aerosoft plane.

| Edson CYET in Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Edson is 120 miles west of Edmonton in Alberta, on Highway 16. It was originally named Heatherwood, but that was changed to honour the vice president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway when it was made the local railway centre. It thrived, and when Highway 16 was upgraded it thrived even more. Coal mining and industry connected with timber are the main employers of a population of around 8,500. The airport is at the western edge of the town at 3,041 feet asl, with a single lit runway 6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide aligned 07-25, with displaced thresholds and VASI at each end. The two joined aprons are at the eastern end of the airfield, with fire fighting chemical tanks beside the western one which is reserved in the summer months for the Lockheed Electra Air Spray planes; these are included in the AI. The eastern apron is for visiting charters and GA planes, next to a small terminal building. There is further parking on the grass for resident planes next to a large gravel car parking area and clubhouse. As the Air Spray planes would not be fighting fires in the winter there are in fact two editions of the AI, one for the summer fire fighting season and the other for the winter freeze. Use whichever one is appropriate for your flight time; I never strayed far from Ottawa in the winter so for me it is the summer one only. While making this I came across something new in the shape of some incorrectly installed edge lights in the stock fs9 version that refused to be deleted. There is still an "Edson TOP" folder which would normally be used to delete all unwanted taxiway edge lights, but in this case it deletes only some of them. Apologies, but there is nothing more that I can do and so I suggest you use this in daylight only.

| Bethel PABE in southwest Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which have good airports and are serviced by Alaska Airlines. From these airports local flights connect to nearby villages, "nearby" in Alaska meaning up to 200 miles away. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is this one, Bethel. The town of Bethel has a population of just over 6,000 and is 50 miles from the sea on the Kuskowim River, that splits and forks into many tributaries. Bethel Airport is close to the town and provides the only contact with the rest of Alaska, as there is no connecting highway system. There are scheduled flights by Alaska Airlines, ERA (now called Ravn) and Grant Aviation, plus others such as Ryan Air. There are cargo flights by Everts, Northern, and Lynden, and redistribution onwards to nearby villages by the smaller locally-based planes; all of these are included in the AI. There are two main runways, one just under 6,400 feet and another just under 3,900 feet, both of them aligned 19-1. The third runway is around 1,800 feet and mainly gravel, aligned 11-29. Parking at PABE is on three aprons, the northern for smaller commercial planes of Grant, ERA, Ryan etc, the central for larger planes of Alaska, Northern, Everts, and Lynden, and the southern for a large collection of GA; each apron has further hangars for maintenance companies and smaller operators. There is also another separate apron for the local military and Coastguard. There is not much photographic information available for PABE, and I have never been there; as a result it was impossible to make detailed photographic textures for some of the buildings. However, for most hangars I have made textures of at least the right colour etc based on the information I assembled and if it is green with white trim and side windows then that is how it now appears here. The exceptions are the Alaska Airlines terminal building which has complicated curved elements, and the two military hangars and workshops where I had to settle for an Alaska terminal building from another airport and the same for the military. There are numerous small villages in the vicinity of Bethel, all of them being beside either a river tributary or the coast. There are two Google Earth screenshots to show the villages that are served by the flights from Bethel and that are (mostly) included in the AI. Some of these airfields were not included in FS9 but AI will still operate in and out of Bethel. The smaller area screenshot shows the villages that are close to Bethel, and of these eight I have so far made six and they are included in this post: Napaskiak PKA, Napakiak WNA, Kwethluk KWT, Atmautluak 4A2, Nunapitchuk 16A, and Kasigluk Z09. I will work my way through the rest of the area.

| Unalakleet PAUN modification in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version of Unalakleet PAUN is a modification of the scenery made by Sid and Pete way back in 2011, posted with Sid's knowledge and ok. There is a dearth of photographic information available on PAUN and it was only recently that there was enough so that hangars could be properly made and also properly situated. Which is why I made this now with a new ERA hangar, a new beige hangar rotated 90 degrees, next to it a blue hangar, plus fuel tanks, signage, and updated AI to include ERA planes, a NAC B737 and a NAC DC6B. Unalakleet has a population approaching 700, and lives by the income earned from the harvest from the sea and the river. There is no road within hundreds of miles and the only way to get food or anything else delivered is by ship (but only in the ice-free summer months) or through the airport.

| FS9 Allakaket 6A8 in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Allakaket is on the Koyukuk River in Alaska, 40 miles southwest of Bettles. The population is just over 100, with a school that was opened in 1957 for both Allakaket and the nearby Alatna on the other side of the river. There was a very serious flood in 1964 with almost all of the village being underwater, and this resulted in the establishment of an additional housing area further inland and explains the thinly scattered housing in the original village site. The airfield was established in 1978 and has a gravel runway aligned 5-23 (or 05-23 if you are not American) that is just over 4,500 feet in length. Both the runway and the taxiway are marked with lit cones. The village airfield is served by Wright Air and Warbelows Air, both of them being based in Fairbanks and included in the revised AI for PANN that is included here. There are occasional other larger freight flights as required as there is no road access to the village and the river is too shallow to allow large freight barges; hence the runway length.
A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Anaktuvuk Pass PAKP in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Anaktuvuk Pass is a village located 85 miles north of Bettles and just north of the Brooks Range, in a valley that is a route between north and south. The inhabitants are mainly Numamiut, a section of the Inupiat that existed in history (and until today) away from the coastal food supply of fish etc. The current population is around 350. The airport has one gravel runway, aligned 1-19 with PAPI at both ends, and 5,500 feet long as there is no connection to the outside world other than the runway for all necessities that are not available on the tundra. There are two aprons, with light planes and passengers at the northern end of the runway and the Everts cargo flights unloading at the mid runway apron. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.
