File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which have good airports and are serviced by Alaska Airlines. From these airports local flights connect to nearby villages, "nearby" in Alaska meaning up to 200 miles away. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel. The town of Nome is south of the Bering Strait on the southern coast of the Seward Peninsula, around 185 miles south of Kotzebue, with a population of about 3,800. It is the town that led to the creation of the most famous dogsledge race in the world, the Iditarod, which is based on the delivery to Nome of diphtheria serum during the blizzard conditions of the winter of 1925. The Nome airport (it currently has no other name) was originally built as the last of the refuelling airfields for planes being ferried to Russia during WW2. It has two runways, aligned 09-27 and 02-20 in FS9 (the wandering magnetic north has recently renamed the magnetic headings) and both of them around 6,000 feet with an ILS on 27. There is a modern airport layout diagram included showing taxiway names etc. Alaska Airlines, ERA, and Bering Air (which is headquartered in Nome), along with the shared cargo terminal for Northern Air Cargo and Everts Air, are all on the southern apron. The northern apron is mainly for GA, along with maintenance facilities, a garage building that also houses a weather bureau, and at the far northern end of runway 02-20 an apron and hanger for the Alaska Air National Guard. All AI aircraft in FS9 much prefer to use a runway that has an ILS and so will continue to use 09-27 even if the wind is from the north or south, right up until it reaches 30+ knots, so for AI realism in FS9 a permanent wind from the west would be the most realistic on a daily basis. There is also a small gravel strip just north of the town and this is included (94Z), as are some old line-of-sight radio communication reflectors on the hills above the town. There is a note about making adjustments to Ultimate Terrain Alaska-Canada regarding both realistic road lighting and also auto-generation.

| Dawson Creek CYDQ in British Columbia, Canada UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a revised version of Dawson Creek CYDQ and the floats base CBD3, made primarily to provide one of the parked planes with it's textures but also to improve the apron markings and the AI. The float AI now includes Beavers and I also removed two planes that were not properly showing their textures in my current FS9 installation. The Beavers were included in my post of Nimpo Lake CAF8 and will need to be installed to show up here. This version is complete in itself and can be installed as-is if you do not have the original scenery. Dawson Creek is at 2,148 feet asl just east of the Rocky Mountains, less than 10 miles west of the BC/Alberta border and where the Rockies are at their narrowest. The population grew when the Northern Alberta Railway was extended to Dawsons Creek in 1932, and grew even more more when the Alaska Highway was built in 1942, starting from Dawsons Creek. In the 1950's the town was linked through the Rockies by a railway and a road to the BC interior, and the town grew again. Now it is static at just under 12,000 and once again has become a farming centre, with Fort St John and Grand Prairie winning out for new industry and commerce. The airport is just to the east of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 06/24, lit, and with PAPI and approach lights. There is also a water runway for float planes, separately designated as Dawson Creek CBD3. The two effectively operate as one; traffic for both use the mandatory frequency of 122.2 and talk to one controller in one control tower. However, in FS9 the ATC for two separately designated airfields (or float fields) operates as if they are nowhere near each other and takes no notice of near misses between the two lots of planes. As a result I have put them both in un-manned tower mode so you will announce your position and intentions and select your own parking spots, either next to one of the hangars or on the grass. The aprons vary from asphalt, to concrete, onwards to gravel, and then further onwards to some gravel amid the bare dirt; I have replicated this variation as far as FS9 permits.

| PABR - Barrow - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and is best known in flying circles as the place where Wiley Post crashed his floatplane on takeoff and killed himself and Will Rogers. The crash was some 15 miles south of Barrow and was "assisted" by the mismatched fuselage, wings, and floats that had been assembled to create the floatplane. The Barrow population is largely Inupiat and totals some 4,400. The downtown area of Barrow is immediately north of the airport. The second and largest part of Barrow is further north past a string of lagoons and is locally called Browerville. To the northeast along the coast is the smallest part around what used to be the Naval Arctic Research Lab, and is now a college. To the east of this are the DEW buildings, plus two large navy hangars and the gravel runway that was used to serve the DEW station. The PABR runway is aligned 06-24 in FS9 and is 7,100 feet long and 150 feet wide, built on top of a gravel base and surround that copes with the underlying permafrost. There is PAPI at both ends and an ILS and approach lights on 06; 06 circuits are to the right. The airport notes include a warning that the apron is not a standard width and that large planes that are enroute to the far end of the runway will not be able to taxi past a plane parked at the gate and should use the runway as a taxiway, then turn and takeoff. FS9 AI cannot cope with that, so the apron here is wider. There are, in real life and the AI, daily flights by Air Alaska (three at least) and Era (several, and which is now called Ravn, hence the new hangar door motif) and air cargo flights by Northern Air Cargo and Everts, plus GA. The buildings have been made with photographic textures or textures made from reference photos. I decided that while 500+ scenery objects was probably ok for most people the required 900+ to "make" the town of Barrow would likely not be. The auto-generated FS9 town objects could not be left as Barrow with trees would not look at all like reality; I have "faded" the density of the town buildings into the distance from the airport.

File Description:
MHRO - Juan Manuel Galvez International Airport / Roatan, Honduras (version 1.1)
This airport update was made with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design Editor) and made for FSX as a replacement for the stock (default) airport. I found that most stock airports in FSX lack a decent amount of character and realism and this area in particular was dreadful! The stock airport file for Roatan was completely devoid of any life. There were absolutely no parking spots for commercial aircraft and no terminal buildings; the nearby areas of Colonia/Loma Linda were completely barren. I've done major reworking to this airport and added the small terminal building as well as renumbered the runway to the correct designation and length. The nearby town has been rendered complete with a variety of vessels small and large in the ocean. I hope you enjoy. Below is a list of changes/additions. All these enchancements are as close to the real airport as I can get with stock library objects. I've used satellite images, terminal photos and maps throughout the whole process so building locations are as accurate as possible. Happy landings in Honduras!
Features:
*Expanded parking apron
*Terminal building with parking for commercial traffic (Delta and United fly to Roatan from the US with regular service)
*Renumbered runways to correct designations and modified runway length and lighting accurately
*Nearby neighborhoods modeled complete with marinas and cruise ship port (cruise ship parked at the pier visible on approach)
*Diving, fishing, cargo and recreational vessels visible in the ocean surrounding the airport v1.1
*Several hotels dotting the area near the airport as well as West End/Gibson Bight
*Roads with static vehicles near the airport
*Corrected taxiway signs v1.1

| 2 Fronson Hangars |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This model was created to be placed in FSX as airport scenery using Airport Design Editor.
I created it for my own use when i was re-creating RNAS HMS Nuthatch which was a Naval Airstation near Anthorn on the Solway Coast in Cumberland (now Cumbria), United Kingdom.
History of RNAS HMS Nuthatch...
Work began on building an airfield at Anthorn for the Fleet Air Arm in late 1943, with Royal Naval Air Station Anthorn, or HMS Nuthatch opening on 7 September 1944, with three tarmac runways.
It was the base of No. 1 Aircraft Receipt and Despatch Unit (No. 1 ARDU), which had the job of receiving aircraft fresh from manufacturers, modifying them to Service standards and despatching them to operational squadrons, with the unit specialising in the Vought F4U Corsair.
No. 1 ARDU continued to operate from Anthorn following the end of the Second World War, while a number of Fleet Air Arm Squadrons were also based at the airfield in the immediate post war years.
The airbase shut down in March 1958.
The Airfield is now the site of a VLF/LF transmitter used for transmitting orders to Submarines, it is also home to three atomic clocks for transmitting Britains time signal transmissions.
None of the Hangars (11 Pentad and 22 Fromson) survive at the site but their concrete standings are still visable.
Depicted here are representations of the Fromson type hangers created from dimensions in a 1947 survey.
I created the model using Google Sketchup and converted it for use in FSX using Model ConverterX.
This is my 1st attempt at scenery creation and is therefore pretty basic.
There are no known issues and it works fine in FSX.

|
File Description:
Compatible with both FS2002 and FS2004
FlightSim Manager is a great tool for managing add-ons to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Using easy to Wizard - FSM can install aircraft, panels, textures and scenery directly from distribution ZIP files you may have downloaded, with proper uninstallation of add-ons. From an easy to use Aircraft editor to add or remove aircraft variants, to an comprehensive Hangar management allows you to manage and configure your add-ons off your live FS installation.
You can now create Virtual Fleets, and enable/disable the complete fleet with ease. For serious pilots, FSM also offers a complete Logbook.
Using FSM, you can create Texture Sets - i.e.. different Tree Sets, and you can install any set with a single click, capture screenshots from Flight Simulator, Benchmark with log, launch it with Random Splash Screens, and fly from anywhere in the world using an map view.
You can also control Flight Simulator with speech commands using FSM. It also supports auto-saving flight, warning sytem, and custom event sounds.
Finally with a comprehensive Diagnostic Tools and Repository feature, FSM keeps your FS installation clean. Apart from the usual Missing and unused gauges, FSM can also locate Aircraft problems, Missing and unused effects, Scenery Problems with a LandClass File relocate feature - say bye-bye to all the memory leaks.

| Dixie A05 Forest Service airfield in Idaho USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in the mountains of Idaho, the first in a series. There are not many mountain airfields that can be succesfully modelled in FS9 because the FS9 terrain does not always match reality; no creek for instance, or the valley too small. There are others where the grass strip is all there is, so there is nothing to model apart from resizing the cleared area. Some are well known, well maintained, have clean shower facilities, and are well used for a weekend by small planes with two people and a tent on board, for instance Johnson Creek. Others are less well known but still in good condition, such as Dixie or Big Creek. And there are also some with cabin rental facilities, such as Sulphur Creek Ranch. Other names come to mind, such as Flying B and Pistol Creek, but unfortunately for one reason or another these could not be made. The other difficulty involving hills is succesful AI landings and take offs. At Johnson Creek, for instance, the wind should be from the south to make AI landings more likely to succeed. Dixie is south of the village of the same name, and not to be confused with the dirt strip that is just beside the village. The runway is at 5,148 feet ASL, just over 4,000 feet long and aligned 18-36, and the parking area is at the northern end, opposite the Forest Service buildings. There is a chart of the area included, and to the south of Dixie is the next in the series, Big Creek U60.

| KAFW Fort Worth Alliance Airport - Texas, US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ft. Worth Alliance Airport opened in 1989 and was billed as the world's first purely industrial airport. It is located around 14 miles North of the central business district of Ft. Worth and is also nearby the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (KDFW). The airport serves general aviation, corporate jet, cargo, and military air traffic on a daily basis and it's proximity to the Texas Motor Speedway (only a few miles) brings extra dense traffic on race weekends. The airport is home to the American Airlines 777 and 767 maintenance base, FedEx Southwest Regional Sort Hub, Bell-Helicopter Training Center, DEA Air Operations Center and DynCorp International. Sadly the American Airlines maintenance base is set to close at the end of 2012 but is being kept alive in FSX!
This scenery features custom 3d buildings and objects bringing you a very accurate rendition of Ft. Worth Alliance Airport. Requires FSX Acceleration for the all scenery objects to display correctly.
Note: These files MUST be installed for the scenery to work correctly (otherwise there will be missing scenery objects at the airport):

| Active ILS - KDEN v2.0 (Denver International) |
|
File Description:
UPDATED KDEN see the readme file for details -- As most know initiating the ILS at certain airports for AI Traffic is not a function at this time when using AFCAD2. If you add a new ILS runway to an airport such as KDEN (16R/34L) only the user aircraft can use this runway when visibility falls below 3 miles. ATC will no longer use this runway for AI Traffic because FS9 sees it as a visual runway. This will cause ATC to vector your AI Traffic back to 16/34 (old numbers) 16L/34R (new numbers) which is also a Terminal Departure Runway. There are many additional options added to version 2.0 *** Imagine Simulations Scenery AFCAD2 and special 3rd Party ILS bgl also included ***

| The Borg Attack |
|
File Description:
The Borg the baddest of the evil aliens from many Star Trek episodes and films have invaded the world of FS9.
A fleet of massive ships are laying waste to Sydney, ships
so large you can land and park 100 Boeing 777's in each.
The special effects cause explosions as you fly through
these landable models that are larger than anything you have ever seen in Flight Sim, they look on screen like you are flying in a movie and provide a perfect backdrop for any of those space models you may have downloaded.
This scenery was produced by the VJPL at WestCoastATC.com for a special multiplayer session Saturday Sept 24
