| U.S.S. Macon (ZRS-5) |
|
File Description:
The USS Macon (ZRS-5) was a 785 foot long flying aircraft carrier. She and her sister (the USS Akron) were the largest of the famous USN rigid airships (dirigibles), and carried up to five fighters on board. Commissioned on 11 March 1933, the Macon was tragically lost at sea on 11 February 1935 during a storm while returning to her home air base at NAS Sunnyvale, California. You MUST read the "Read Me First" file. If you do not take the time to read and understand the information given on how to fly the USS Macon you will be very disappointed. you will be unable to fly her. FSX ONLY!

| North and Middle Farallon Islands Version 3 Update |
|
File Description:
Beta version 3 update: Adds the North and Middle Farallon Islands to the chain. To be used in conjunction with the Southeast Farallon Island Version 3 download available separately. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. These islands were created as scenery objects instead of traditional terrain in order to preserve detail.

| Caballococha, Peru FIx |
|
File Description:
This adds the missing AFCAD FILE ... I apologize for the inconvience.
Caballococha, Peru - Actually I have found only one photo of the town along the Amazon River and it was only of the Plaza. This is a total impressionistic file. Creates the town, riverside features (Piers, Ferry landing) and a few features to the default airport.
New AFCAD created offering parking and a taxiway, plus two water start locations. Again totally fictious. BUT enjoy.
One thing about Caballococha is that it is along a highly navagatable portion of the Amazon and with the fantastic array of Watercraft available offers, I believe, unlimited simming possibilities.
I included the .XML file for rwy12, if you are into enhancing your own scenery...please do feel free to modify or add as desired. This scenery DOES require both LAGO FSE (Payware) and RWY12 available here at avsim) to work.
questions or comments PLEASE do e-mail me ... I will respond as rapidly as possible.

| Buffalo Narrows CYVT in Saskatchewan, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Buffalo Narrows is a small town (around 1,400 folks) 130 miles west and a bit north of La Ronge in Saskatchewan, and I discovered that the Buffalo Narrows airfield, wrongly positioned in FS9, had been flooded out by Ultimate Terrain's lake; this is the rescue package. Actually that would be several lakes as the place is surrounded by water including Churchill Lake, Little Peter Pond Lake, and of course Big Peter Pond Lake.
There are two runways, the longest being 5,006' of 100' wide asphalt aligned 11/29, and the other 2,297 and 75' wide, also asphalt. Both runways are lit, and there is JetA and 100LL fuel available. I have placed taxiway lights, but I haven't made proper signage or placed runway lights, or a ton of other things, but it is now landable and with the buildings and fire chemical retarder tanks etc, and there is AI that includes a CL-415. The roads have also been modified to fit.

| Southeast Farallon Islands Version 2 |
|
File Description:
SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED UPGRADE OF PRIOR VERSION. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. This island is actually a scenery object. As such it doesn't have a landable surface. Future versions will have a helicopter pad, a lighthouse, and the 100 year old houses used by researchers.

| Hawk Logging, for Holger Sandmann's scenery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a logging camp, on Admiral Island at the northern end of Chatham Strait in southern Alaska, around 30 miles south of Juneau. It is marked on the chart of the area; if you are chartless then there is a section of the chart included here. This scenery is designed specifically for use in the Tongass Fjord scenery (or Glacier, or Misty? I don't remember now which area it is in!) and probably does not work with just Ultimate Terrain; I haven't tried it. The camp has an identifying code so it will show up on a gps as PELC but there is no interaction with atc as there are no designated water runways; PELC on the GPS just acts as a waypoint. There will be further posts for use with Tongass Fjords, Misty Fjords, and Glacier Bay, and I still find these scenery areas by Holger and his crew the most satisfying in FS9.

| WAHR - Heathers Ranch |
|
File Description:
The other upload had checksum errors.
Heathers Ranch is located about 5 miles west of Port Angeles, Wa. Heather has made a lot of Virtual money from the BFU gang and others painting and re-furbishing their aircraft. This scenery was created for her because of her caring and unselfish attitude as well as her talents.
There are 2 runways, 18-36 is an oilsoaked dirt runway with oilsoaked taxiways. If you need your oil changed, Heather or her brother will change it free for the used oil. The other runway is a water runway and is in the sound adjacent to the ranch. There is a pier there that has fuel. For more service, climb the bank and taxi up to the hanger. “Easily accessed by air (STOL only), boat or road.”
You will need Gerrish Gray’s Trees_v3.zip installed. There are FSE file included but are not necessary for the enjoyment of this scenery.

| Redtail Ridge Island Resort (AK94) |
|
File Description:
Redtail Ridge is a fictitious place in Alaska, but it's name is somewhat misleading as there is no ridges on the island. The airport boasts a 2300x45FT dirt runway, although it displays as a snow runway. There is also a 10000FT water runway, marked at each end with a red buoy. The airport is mainly intended as a place for the weary bush pilot to go and relax. There is a line of lakeside cabins to stay in, and there's even three little docks for floatplanes to tie up at. Also available are a selection of boats to rent, both sailboats and motorboats. For transportation around, there is a even a rental car angency. If the cabins are filled, stay in the hotel or sleep outdoors in the campsites. Go shopping at the mall or grab a bite to eat at the fast food joints. Anything you need to relax, you can find it here!

| SanFran expansion Toolkit |
|
File Description:
Conversion of the SanFran Region from .cpd to .bin for FU3 This experimental toolkit is for region builders, its not a new full game ! If you want expand the region with new material to the north and the east then conversion to .bin is a must. Do not convert if you don't plan to expand or modify texture of the tiles. Then the only results are a larger game folder :-( The quality of the original tiles will not change ! The SanFran region is converted from 10x11 tiles area into a 16x16 tiles area but no new tiles are made north or east as sample, so a lot of tiles are then still missing and replaced by the blank tile (new full water tile). Elevation is not touched by this installation. After conversion you can use aireal pictures from map services to upgrade somes tiles of this area or even create new for the north-east.
