| RAF Shepherds Grove - Suffolk, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Shepherds Grove is a former Royal Air Force station located 9.9 miles (15.9 km) north-east of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England.
The Station was originally built for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Eighth Air Force during the Second World War. However the facility was not used by the USAAF and was opened by No. 3 Group RAF on 3 April 1944. The name came from a small copse nearby and the airfield is close to Walsham le Willows in Suffolk.
It was occupied by No. 196 Squadron RAF in January 1945 as a base for Operation Varsity, supporting the Rhine crossing.
Various American units occupied the station after WW2 but ended their use of the unit in December 1958.
On 22 July 1956, No. 82 Squadron RAF was activated at Shepherds Grove as a Thor missile unit. Thor launching sites were built on the main airfield and became operational in 1959.
The base was closed in 1966. Third party files are required - see the readme.txt for details.

| RAF Skipton On Swale |
|
File Description:
RAF Skipton On Swale is a former Royal Air Force station operated by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War.
The village of Sandhutton is located just to the east. RAF Skipton-on-Swale was a sub-station of RAF Leeming.
The airfield opened in autumn 1942, becoming operational in May 1943, originally a 4 Group facility and first hosted
420 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), which moved to RAF Middleton St. George in October 1942. Skipton was
assigned to No. 6 Group, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in January 1943. RCAF squadrons stationed here included 424
Squadron, No. 432 Squadron (which moved to RAF East Moor in September 1943), and 433 Squadron. Both squadrons flew the
Halifax bomber until replaced by the Lancaster in January 1945. 424 Squadron lost 52 aircraft and 433 Squadron lost 38
aircraft.
When Nos. 424 and 433 Squadrons were disbanded in October 1945 the airfield was closed. The station was not used again
and has since reverted largely to farmland. The site is home to turkey and pig farms.

| Alaska Bush Scenery: Stony River Bend & Old Stony |
|
File Description:
Here's your big chance to take-off and land using a curved airstrip. Stony River Bend is located just west of Merrill Pass, very close to Tom Fica's cabin at Two Lakes (part of his 'Merrill Pass' scenery add-on). The bumpy dirt runway - becoming slightly overgrown and prone to waterlogging - is marked out with wooden posts (lit at night) and presents a unique challenge: one that I haven't really sorted out just yet! There's a small settlement just up a log-lined trail from the airfield with a gravel service track connecting with a basic NDB/DME facility to help out with night or low visibility approaches. Although Stony River Bend is fictional, it has been based loosely on a real life runway at Elk City in Idaho. Three miles downstream is another simple backwoods strip called Old Stony - the narrow gravel runway here is conventional, but it's probably in an even worse state of repair. Designed for use with Eddie Denney's FS2002 mesh of Alaska, but the scenery is usable without it.

| China Lake NAWS, CA. AFCAD JANET |
|
File Description:
This is the AFCAD to a top secret facility known as China Lake Naval Air weapons station in California. The stories are wide and far ranging about this secret place in the desert.
There is a supposed underground tram system running 180 MPH under the Death Valley mountains to Area 51. (some reports of the tram running up to 275 MPH) Lockheed has a targeting and ranging station on base used to develop aircraft that are invisible. (the craft blend with the sky) Orbs can be seen here, UFO's reported daily, and on and on.
Folklore,? maybe. I dont know anything. Speculation only. Gates are approximated. My work is free to the simming community. Please do not sell any of ol' Bucks work.
Please do not include my work any any pay packages. Free is good. God bless the USA. If this is subversive to the USA, please feel free to pull my AFCADS.
P.S.: SDK is included with Lee Swordys installer. I had trouble getting this AFCAD to install so good luck. That is why I have included the SDK.

| PASY - Shemya (Eareckson Air Station) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Shemya is pretty well AT the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 240 miles west of Amchitka. There is no town on Shemya and the whole island is occupied (and owned) by the Air Force. There are three runways, two of which are from the 1940's and are now unused; in fact one of them has been partly ploughed up and also used for outdoor storage. The single in-use runway is aligned 10-28 and is 10,000 feet of 150 feet wide asphalt with an ils on 28, the runway that is used 99% of the time. The base is now not active but is maintained as a refuelling facility, so for landing and takeoff purposes it is open. The older and now unused areas are those where the hangers are slowly rusting away and the asphalt is turning green with encroaching and well-watered wildlife plants. The tower is now closed, so there is no atc and you just announce your intentions. Read the history of Shemya, a lot happened there.

File Description:
Colorado Springs South (KCOS), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
This region covers the area of Colorado Springs. Just west of the city you can fly around Pikes Peak. At 14.115ft it is the easternmost of Colorado's 54 fourteeners. Northwest of the city lies the Garden Of Gods with its many vertical rock formations. They are made of sedimentary beds red and white sandstones, conclomerates and limestone that were deposited horizontally but have been tilted vertically and faulted by the immense mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Pikes Peak massiv. Deep within Chayenne Mountain is the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) main technical facility which collects and evaluates data from a worldwide system of satellites, radars and other sensors.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_South3East.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Veit and Hector.

| YBLT - Ballarat Aerodrome - Victoria, Australia |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
YBLT (Ballarat Aerodrome) is a regional 'airport' in the central west of the State of Victoria, Australia and utilises infrastructure from the days of RAAF operations which lasted till the early 1960's. Thus the buildings are now a bit outdated but this file does not reflect that as I have not done any custom texturing so everything in this package tends to look a bit new and crispy.
Note the name of this 'airport'. The locals are adamant it is an aerodrome, not an airport. I have not found any freeware or commercial offerings for an alternative to the default and so I have put one together.
This is a reasonable approximation of the airport /aerodrome but is not entirely accurate as the hangars/buildings I have modelled myself are generic ones I have done and do not look exactly like the ones at that facility. The connecting road is not in true alignment as I have created it so as it blends into the surrounding default scenery.

| North Victoria v2 for ORBX v2 YBLA Benalla YECH Echuca YYWG Yarrawonga |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
'North Victoria v2' is made to match ORBX Australia v2 scenery. Use 'YBLA Benalla' 'YECH Echuca' 'YYWG Yarrawonga' for ORBX v1 or no ORBX. There are 3 airports YBLA Benalla YECH Echuca YYWG Yarrawonga. ORBX has done these as they have done every airport included with FSX in Australia to a reasonable standard. If I had not already done them for ORBX V1 I would not have bothered. However these are better than ORBX because the surroundings have been modified to match real life. Towns have been added or shifted. Forests cut down or added. There are also custom accurate versions of the actual terminal buildings/hangers. In short a lot more time spent. ORBX had to do every airport has in Australia! Orbx have AI traffic files that cover all 3 airports. These files are for Flight Simulator X. Made using Airport Design Editor using some objects borrowed from Robert Budd's excellent Baccus Marsh and 'Static aircrafts' by Jean-Pierre Fillion. REQUIRED The scenery is designed to interface with ORBX FTX_AU V2 scenery for Australia (payware).
