| Silver City CFQ5 in Yukon Territory Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Silver City is a ghost town in the Yukon Territory, Canada, amid the Rocky Mountains and around 35 miles northwest of Haines Junction. It is on the southern end of Kluane Lake and in the Kluane National Park and this probably explains it's (minimal) survival after what appears to have been the shutdown of mining for silver. There is little information readily available. The date of this scenery is, as usual, around 2010. There was no recent regular service by Yukon Air North or any other airline, and the primary user of the airfield adjacent to the lake is a company called Icefield Discovery Tours. Their activity is probably very similar to the company at Haines Junction and involves trips to the National Park amid mountains and glaciers. There is also another organisation at the airfield, the Kluane Lake Research Station of the Arctic Institute. They have four buildings there but it is unclear how much aerial activity they generate, or if in fact they fly at all for their work. The runway is 3,000 feet of unlit gravel, aligned north-south. This post will be followed by Burwash, which is at the far northwestern end of the lake. There is no video of the Silver City airfield on Youtube, and it is not the most exciting airfield in the world, but the location is enough in real life for a visit to be made. On YouTube there is a series of posts by Angle of Attack showing the preparation and then the flight of an old Cessna 172 from Homer to Oshkosh for the installation of modern instruments. Interesting for me as they visit or fly over airfields I have made: Homer, Merrill, Tok Junction, Burwash, Silver City, Haines Junction, Watson Lake, Fort Nelson, and Grande Prairie. But they fly in the winter so it all looks very different.

| Dolbeau-St-Felicien CYDO in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the fourth of five sceneries around Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada. Saint-Felicien is a village on a small river at the western end of Lac Saint-Jean, and the airfield is just under 10 miles to the northeast. At the same distance further to the northeast of the airfield and on a slightly larger river is the village called Dolbeau. The village of Sainte-Methode is closer than either of the other villages but presumably lacked influence. The airfield effectively has one runway aligned 11-29 and just under 5,000 feet long, with approach lights on 11. There is, or was, a second runway aligned north-south but this has badly deteriorated without maintenance and has loose stones that threaten propellor damage. The taxiway that runs east-west is in a similar condition and all planes operate as if there is no taxiway. There is a clubhouse and a maintenance facility along with a line of old hangars that remain in full use, plus planes parked in the open. The landclass has been modified along with the grassed area of the airfield, and in the AI (included with the post of CYRC) there are scheduled flights by Max Aviation, and GA flights etc. It is a really typical airfield in northern(ish) rural Canada with a lot more activity than one might expect.

| Sioux Lookout CYXL in northwest Ontario Canada |
|
File Description:
Sioux Lookout is a small town of some 5,000 folks in northwest Ontario, towards the Manitoba border, and a regional centre for surrounding villages. The airfield is some two miles east of the town. It originally had two runways but the smaller was abandoned recently as part of a planned long term improvement of the field, leaving just 34/16 with its 5,300 feeet of asphalt. Both Wasaya and Bearskin fly to Sioux Lookout; on the field there are two maintenance companies, Eagle and Allen, and hangers for the Ministry of Health, Bearskin Airlines, Wasaya, and the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service (NAPS). I think there is now another company too, but I have no information on them so I pretended this was two years ago. As well as the airfield scenery there is also a landclass file an "AFCAD" file for your AI aircraft. You should also download and install Northwest Ontario Airports by Eric O'Link, and preferably also have Ultimate Terrain; I have not tested this without UT and there is a small lake nearby.

| Cape Dorset CYTE, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cape Dorset is a village of 1,300 or so inhabitants at N 64 13 W 76 31 on Dorset Island, off the southwest corner of Baffin Island. It's Inuit name is Kinngait, which means "High Mountains"; watch out if you fly there in low clouds. The village (again) does not feature in FS9 but is included in this scenery with approximately the right shape, or shapes as there are separate parts. The airfield runway is just under 4,000 feet of gravel 100 feet wide at 158 feet above sea level. There is a double gradient to it, but unfortunately this cannot be replicated in FS.
Cape Dorset had a Hudson Bay Company store as long ago as 1913, and is now known as a centre for Inuit art. I added the roads, a new airfield background, a pond between apron and runway, plus of course there is the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI, which has two planes visiting, a First Air HS748 and a Canadian North Dash 8-100, as per real life.

| Beaver Creek CYXQ in Yukon Territory, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Beaver Creek is located at mile 1202 of the Alaska Highway, just east of the Alaska/Yukon border. The populaton is around 100 and the main employment is with the Border Agency, the White River First Nation, or with local tourist lodges. The airfield is a mile north of the town and close to the Canadian border post, which is included in the scenery. It was built by Jack Stalberg in the 1960's, and I have no further information beyond the fact that he loved to fly. The airport serves as an "airport of entry", though it is restricted in hours of opening and in the size of aircraft that it can handle; up to a maximum of only 15 seats. The single runway is 3,745 feet long and 100 feet wide, gravel, aligned 13-31 in FS9, lit, and with vasi at both ends. Righthand circuits for runway 13. There is a 340 feet threshold displacement to runway 31, which is of course unmarked on a gravel runway. The terminal building was recently reclad; I don't like it, but they didn't consult me. The ai reflects the sort of traffic the airfield gets; ie brief paperwork stopovers for GA or small charter flights into Canada from Alaska, usually in the mornings.I have adjusted the local scenery terrain levels to remove adjacent hills that I believe do not exist in real life but are part of the Northern Canada terrain mesh that I have installed. If you do not have this mesh you may find that the scenery works fine for you without the API flatten that is included here. The airfield is at 2,129 feet ASL.

| Inuvik CYXT in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Inuvik is a town of 3,500 or so inhabitants at N68 18 W133 29, which puts it 120 miles inside the Arctic Circle on the east side of the Mackenzie River delta and around 90 miles from where the Mackenzie meets the Beaufort Sea. There is a Canadian Forces base at the eastern end of the field, with shelters for six F18 fighters; the base in one form or another has been there for a while and is the reason for the generous length of asphalt runway.
Inuvik was established in the early 1960's as a replacement regional center for Aklavik which is 40 miles to the west across the delta and which flooded on a regular and inconvenient basis. This probably works without Ultimate Terrain but I haven't tested it. I also haven't tested it in FSX but I was told it works there too.

| CNU8 - Toronto - Markham Airport (2008), Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CNU8 - Toronto - Markham Airport (2008) - Markham v1. The airport is owned and operated by Markham Airport Inc., and is not part of the Greater Toronto Airport Authority.
The airport consists of a single 2,000 foot runway for small and private aircraft only (with night flying capabilities). The Royal Canadian Air Cadets Gliding Program uses the north side or the runway 09/27 for glider operations in the spring and fall months, and use a northern traffic pattern. This airport may disappear with the establishment of a planned Pickering Airport or re-location of Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport.
(This is a re-upload of the scenery to replace the original that was lost in the AVSIM hack. No changes have been made)

| Jenny Lind Island CWJL in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This was a DEW line Auxiliary Station on Jenny Lind Island; the island is about 14 miles by 12 miles and off the southeast corner of Victoria Island, 85 miles east of Cambridge Bay. The station was closed in 1992 but is still there as "closed" meant "shut the door and walk away". There has been some later removal of diesel tanks and other polluting items but the buildings are still intact, and the runway is 4,470 feet of gravel 150' wide. At the western end there is an apron and a large hangar. There are of course no lights, signage, or windsock. A North Warning System station was built in 1990, 6 miles inland to the northwest of the runway. This has a shorter (1,400'?) gravel runway (and named CWJX here).

| Waskaganish CYKQ in northern Quebec, Canada - revised |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Waskaganish is at the southern end of James Bay, in Quebec, and this is a revised version. It deletes a hold short that should not have been showing on the gravel, and adds in signage, runway lights, taxiway lights, terminal night textures, and revised AI. I have no idea why I didn't include the night textures before. It presumes you have already installed my October 2010 Waskaganish.

| Fort Simpson Island CET4 - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Simpson Island is the fifth in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, and then Wrigley, all posted. Fort Simpson Island is at 405 feet asl and on the west bank of the the Mackenzie, around 110 miles south of Wrigley at the junction of the Mackenzie and the Liard rivers. The town of Fort Simpson is on an island, and has a population of 1,250 or so folks. The Hudson Bay trading post was established here in 1822. The airport is right next to the town, and has 3,000 feet of gravel runway, though with a displaced threshold of 1,000 feet at each end (unmarked, on gravel) this is effectively 2,000 feet for landing. The Canada Flight Supplement lists the runway as being 100 feet wide; the gravel is definitely far less and the 100 refers to the width in the winter when you are landing on snow and don't care if there is gravel or grass underneath. There are no scheduled flights as these go to the nearby Fort Simpson CYFS. There is a mandatory radio frequency which is for both CYFS and CET4 and in this case I have set the "tower" to "manned" so you will report position and obey instructions. Runway 13 has right hand circuits. I have modified the Ultimate Terrain route for the Mackenzie Highway so that it remains on the west side of the river and does not wander randomly from one side to the other north of Fort Simpson.
