| Working TACAN Beacons in the Netherlands, version 2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
In real-life TACAN beacons require a TACAN receiver to receive the course (OBS)
information of the beacon. With a civil VOR/DME receiver you only receive the
distance (DME) to the beacon.
The problem in FS is that there are no dedicated TACAN gauges, so it's not
possible to perform TACAN approaches, because this requires course information
of the beacon.
To overcome this problem i've modified the TACAN beacons in the Netherlands so
you can fully use them with civil receivers. And so are able to fly TACAN
approaches.
Also added almost all military waypoints in the Netherlands for various military
routes. These will show up in the default GPS and other gauges which use the
default FS database. Build and tested under FSX, should however also work under
FS2004.

| Fort Resolution CYFR in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Resolution is on the south side of Great Slave Lake, 75 miles east of Hay River and just west of where the Slave River flows into the lake from Fort Smith. Fort Resolution, the oldest community in the Territories and once a vital link in the fur trade business, is a small town with a population of around 500. It was not included in the original FS9 or Ultimate Terrain so I have added it here.
The airfield is next to the town on the lakeshore. The runway is 4,000 feet of gravel with a displaced threshold at the southern (town) end; it is lit and there is PAPI. There are no scheduled flights to Fort Resolution, just occasional charters; the AI includes a stock FS9 Cessna and a Wasaya Airways PC12.

| Obre Lake CKV4 in the Northwest Territories Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a fifth airfield around or linked to Lake Athabasca, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Obre Lake is some 120 miles northeast of Stony Rapids and is in the Northwest Territories, and the airfield is owned and run by North Of 60 Fishing Camps, which explains it all. It is one of several fishing vacation spots that are serviced by flights from Stony Rapids, and it is these flights to the north that explain the number of regular scheduled flights into Stony Rapids from the south. The Obre Lake camp has docks for boats and also for clients that want to arrive in their own float planes.

| Fort Liard CYJF in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Liard is the seventh in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and then Fort Simpson Island and Fort Simpson, all posted. Fort Liard is at 708 feet asl and on the east bank of the the Liard River, around 130 miles south of Fort Simpson where the Liard and Mackenzie join, and about 25 miles from the borders with both British Columbia and the Yukon. The town has a population of about 560 folks.
The airport is next to the town, and has almost 3,000 feet of gravel runway. I have no information regarding when it was built but it may be from the WW2 time; the cleared and grassed area is long enough for a runway 0f 6,000 feet. There are no scheduled flights but North Cariboo Air have a base at the airport for local charters to support survey teams etc. and are almost an on-demand-scheduled airline. I have also added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is fuel available, but only by prior arrangement with North Cariboo. Right hand circuits for runway 20.

| Ruacana Airport in Namibia on the African continent. |
|
File Description:
This is Ruacana Airport in Namibia. This airport is near the border with Angola and was used by the South African Defence force for operations into Angola before Namibia became independant. Now it is a popular tourist destination and ideal for traveling to Ruacana Falls. It is made from default FSX scenery librarys. Not the real thing but pretty close.

| Maurice Bishop TGPY on Grenada in the Caribbean |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Grenada island is 17 miles south of the southernmost island of the Grenadines, Carriacou; there are some smaller islands between the two. Grenada is 18 miles long and around 8 miles wide, has an estimated population of 110,000, and produces a very large part of the world's annual nutmeg harvest. The capital, St Georges, is by far the largest town and is at the southern end of the island, with the airport close by.
The airport is now called Maurice Bishop, but for some years was called Point Salines. The runway is just over 9,000 feet long and oriented 10/28. Point Salines replaced Pearl Airport, which is on the east coast 12 miles northeast of St Georges and was difficult to expand as the runway had mountains at one end and the sea at the other. Pearl is now closed; it is included here but only as a visual landmark with "closed" markings. There are regular international flights from North America and Europe, some of which are seasonal only (Air Canada for instance) and local connecting flights by LIAT and SVG. I retained the default control tower as it is some distance away. In real life it is also some distance away and on a hill northwest of the terminal. Which is why I did not take photos from which I would have made the real one. The hill does not feature in FS9.
