| Squamish CYSE in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Squamish is a town with a population of just under 20,000, located at the northern end of Howe Sound where the Squamish River reaches the sea. Howe Sound is 25 miles deep and around 10 miles northwest of downtown Vancouver. It was for years based on the surrounding timber and a pulp mill, but with the closure of the saw and pulp mills now is more tourist oriented and the escape for Vancouver residents looking for (relative) peace and quiet. The runway is 2,400 feet of asphalt aligned 14-32. The buildings are built on differing levels of terrain, and the taxiways are sloped access ramps between the levels. This, of course, cannot be replicated in FS9, but it explains what at first sight appears to be a strange layout. The buildings are fairly well replicated. This is not an airport, it is an airfield meant for summer use as there is no lighting of any sort for runway or taxiways. The AI includes both GA and the helicopter flights by the two companies with bases at Squamish, Black Tusk and Blackcomb, the latter having several bases in this area with a HQ in Whistler. If you have the Vancouver scenery by FSAddon then you will need to move some of their bgl's aside; there are screenshots so that you can see which ones I have relocated. The UT settings are optional; I have been asked for my personal preferences. If you find a defect, email me.

| Pemberton CYPS in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Pemberton is a small village in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, with a permanent population of under 3,000 and reliant on logging and increasing tourism. It is around 40 miles north of Squamish and 15 miles north of Whistler and the flight north is best described as scenic. The Nairn Falls, a scenic attraction for tourists, are close by. The runway is 3,920 feet of asphalt aligned 06-24, between and close to the join of the Lillooet River and the Green River. The airfield buildings are to the north of the runway, and at the eastern end is a Fire Base for the expected summer forest fires. To the south and west is the Pemberton Golf Course. All the buildings are replicated, and once again this is not an airport, it is an airfield without any lighting and typical of my future posts which are updated versions of airfield scenery made some time ago and not posted. This one is probably more intricate than most that will follow. The lack of lighting is actually very sensible as landing in the mountains in the dark..... Gun Lake is included here, but not for regular use as it is a deserted dirt strip 40 miles to the north that was once used for fire fighting and there is nothing to see. Just a part of the scenery in this area of BC. If you want to follow this trip on Google Earth the next stop is Cache Creek. If you find a defect, email me. Do not email me about the strange doors to the front of the Blackcomb hangar. I was surprised when I saw it and then discovered that the "doors" are actually flexible curtains that are rolled up and down and if rolled down too far...
I have the ok to use the Bell 212 CCG helicopter as a scenery object, but not to post the entire object library of the Red Deer CYQF scenery; if you have the scenery it should show up here.

| Wabush CYWK in Labrador Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wabush is a small town close to Labrador City, 200 miles north of the Gulf of St Lawrence coast and close to the border with Quebec. The area is known for it's iron mining activity which started in the 1960's. The airport that serves the area is located close to Wabush and there is also a float base on the lake that abutts Labrador. This version is from around 2014. The single runway is aligned 01-19 and is 6,000 feet long, with PAPI on 19 and ILS on 01. Flights by Pascan Aviation, Air Inuit, and Provincial Airlines are included in the AI provided, along with GA flights. I also have WOA ai that provides Air Canada Jazz flights (not included here but worth downloading for Canada). There is also AI for the float base on the lake, which connects to River Deep Lodge for trout fishing on Atikonak Lake around 100 miles to the east and also included here.

| Sydney CYQY in Nova Scotia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sydney is a maritime port on the east coast of Canada, on the eastern corner of Cape Breton Island. It was founded in 1785 and grew in size emormously from 1900 as a steel mill was founded that prospered along with local coal mines until 1950 or so. After that date and following the final closure of the mill in 2001 the population declined to the current 29,000 or so. The airport is 3 or 4 miles southwest and inland of a coastal urban area which stretches from New Waterford in the north through Lingan, Dominion, Reserve Mines, and Glace Bay, to Port Caledonia, and 5 miles east of the town of Sydney which is beside a sheltered deep water harbour area. This version is not from a fixed date as although I had video of some of the buildings from 2010 I inadvertently constructed part of the apron layout from 2018 information, and then decided to keep it like that either because I liked it or perhaps was too lazy to redo it. The terminal building and the garages to the east of the terminal are original and old, though renovated and maintained to a fairly good standard. The other buildings on the airport are "hangars" in the expected form, with steel frames, insulated cladding, and pitched roofs. The airport publicises it's ability to cater for all the needs of visiting aircraft, with a large FBO hanger just beside the terminal. There are (or were, before the virus came along) scheduled flights by Westjet, Air Canada Jazz, and Air North, which are included in the AI along with GA flights. The runways are 07-25 at 7,000 feet and with PAPI on 25 and ILS on 07, and 01-19 at 6,000 feet with PAPI on 01 and ILS on 19. You will see once the scenery is installed that there are two folders in Sydney CYQY called "Scenery summer" and "scenery winter". Editing the folder name down from "scenery summer" to just "scenery" results in FS9 loading the summer ground textures and parked planes etc. In February you would edit down the "scenery winter" folder to just "scenery" and the unused and unswept taxiways, runway, and aprons will be invisible under the snow, the open-topped cars will not be parked in the open, and privately-owned planes will be in the hangars. If FS9 decides that there is snow on the ground then you need the winter textures, if not then the summer textures. The winter textures are not the full-snowdrift-middle-of-Winter-gale type and are more like early or late winter. One thing you must NOT DO is to edit both folders down at the same time.

| 13 Northern Ontario Airfields in Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are 13 airfields in northwest Ontario, Canada. They were previously posted individually, but not on Avsim. There is a screenshot of Google Earth showing their names and locations. There are also updates to two previously posted airports, Red Lake CYRL and Sioux Lookout CYXL, and AI with the supply flights that are vital for these isolated outposts. Pickle Lake is a northern airfield that is connected to the rest of Canada by an all-weather road, and a large number of the supply flights originate from there. In fact these flights are the primary reason for the small towns existence. This will be followed by a posting of a similar number of northern Manitoba airfields. You may wonder about the numbers of fuel tanks at these airfields. These are not for the airfield use, they are for the settlement to be able to generate electricity and also to provide heating in the winter. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| North Manitoba Airfields 20# in Canada |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are 20 airfields in north Manitoba, Canada. They were all previously posted individually But not on Avsim. There is a screenshot of Google Earth showing their names and locations amid other airfields. "Lodge" indicates the fact that there is a fishing lodge and airfield at that location but that I have no information to enable me to make the scenery. There are also some airfields that I downloaded years ago and are part of my FS9 set up, such as Flin Flon. There is AI with the supply flights that are vital for these isolated outposts. Gillam is a northern airfield that is connected to the rest of Canada by a railroad that continues north to Churchill Manitoba on the Hudson Bay coast and is used for grain exports during the ice-free summer months. A large number of the supply flights originate from Gillam. You may wonder about the numbers of fuel tanks at these airfields. These are not for the airfield use, they are for the settlement to be able to generate electricity and also to provide heating in the winter. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| Grande Cache CEQ5 in Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Grande Cache is at 4,117 feet above sea level, just under 90 miles south of Grande Prairie and 220 miles west of Edmonton. It is among the eastern foothills of the Rockies. The town was established to accommodate employees of a coal mine and their families in the early 1970's. There was a financial roller coaster ride for the coalmine during the next few years and despite the opening of a wood chip plant and a federal prison the town was eventually downgraded to a hamlet by a vote in 2018, as it was essentially bankrupt and had a population of less than 4,500. The airport, some 10 miles east of the town, had two aprons, one for GA and scheduled flights and another, the eastern one, for fire fighting planes. I say "had" as it was closed in January 2017. However, the fire fighting area appears to have been maintained (tanks repainted, for instance) and is presumably able to support operations if required. The date for this scenery is 2009.

| Burwash CYDB in Yukon Territory Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Burwash Landing is a very small village in the Yukon Territory, Canada, situated amid the Rocky Mountains at the northern end of Kluane Lake and some 30 miles from Silver City. The airfield, called just "Burwash" in the Nav Canada listing, is 2 miles northwest of the village and adjacent to the Alaska Highway. The runway is 5,000 feet of lit gravel aligned 10-19 and 130 feet wide, with VASI at each end. The date of this scenery is, as usual, around 2010. There is a company based at the airfield called Rocking Star Adventures, which is engaged in the same activity as the other companies at Haines Junction and Silver City, ie taking tourists around the glaciers of Kluane National Park. The park is very imressive from the air. The Ai was included with the Haines Junction post.
