| Sturt Point CWSP in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sturt Point was a DEW line I Station on the south coast of Victoria Island, 50 miles east of Cambridge Bay. It was closed in 1963 but remains in place, though a 5 man I Station has such a small impact on its surroundings that it is hardly visible. The runway is 3,420 feet of gravel aligned 117T/297T, and there are no lights, signage, or windsock, but there are ruts in the gravel. A North Warning System station was built 15 miles inland and closer to Cambridge Bay, operating from 1991 onwards. This has a short (1,280'?) gravel runway aligned 138T/318T (and named CWSX here). No ruts in the gravel, but also still no lights, signage, or windsock.

| Repulse Bay CYUT in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a scenery that I started in 2013, temporarily abandoned when I found there was a fault in the coastline that reduced it all to straight lines, and then totally forgot about. Until now, when I discovered that while I had made the Repulse Bay terminal building I had mysteriously not made the scenery. Investigation revealed the reason why and here it is with a coastline that has been repaired to the extent that the fault allowed. Repulse Bay has a population of around 1,100 and since 2015 has been officially named Naujaat, the traditional Inuit name. It is located exactly on the arctic circle on the northern extension of the western side of Hudson Bay, in a large bay off the northern tip of Southampton Island. Coral Harbour is on the far side of the island, 180 miles to the south. The airfield is alongside the town and the coast, with the runway 3,400 feet of gravel with PAPI at both ends, aligned 161T-341T with "T" standing for true as opposed to the unreliable magnetic bearing this far north. The regular scheduled flights are by Air Baffin (an Air Nunavut subsiduary), connecting to Iqaluit some 550 miles to the east. The helicopters are there in the summer with their own fuel in drums around their own parking apron. They land directly on the apron, which cannot be replicated in AI, so they are present only as parked choppers and not flying ones.

| Southern Ontario Canada LOD 9 Mesh |
|
File Description:
Please note that I forgot to cut the one side of the screenshots so the right side of the image is what was present on my second monitor which in the first two pictures was my background.
The default mesh for Southern Ontario Canada was pretty flat and did not show the small rolling hills that are present throughout the province. This is LOD9 (90 meter) mesh that covers ALL of Southern Ontario from Elliot Lake, Sudbury and North Bay in the North, to near Montreal in the east, to Windsor in the southwest and all points in between. This mesh covers the entire area of Ontario shown in the Toronto VNC.

| Chisasibi CSU2 in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Chisasibi is in northern Quebec on the east shore of James Bay, 60 miles from the corner of James Bay and Hudson Bay. Originally called Fort George and founded at the mouth of La Grande Riviere around the Hudson Bay trading post that was established in 1803, the town had to move 5 miles upstream in 1981 when the Quebec hydro project increased the flow rate of the river. The name was changed to Chisasibi at the time of the move (Chisasibi = Great River in Cree) and the population (750 as early as 1940) has now grown to around 2,000. There is a paved road east to Radisson that connects to the north-south James Bay road, which was built at the time of the hydro project work. The original Fort George airport runway is still visible but not usable, just south of the original town site. Chisasibi airport is to the west of the new town, and the gravel runway is 3,792 feet long and aligned 14/32, which is approximately parallel to the river. There is officially no fuel available, but there is JetA on site for Air Creebec in a tank protected by used fuel drums (filled with sand?). The terminal and the garage building are both relatively new; the terminal dates from 2002 and has unusual touches. There are two AI flights by Air Creebec each day plus other private planes.

| Akulivik CYKO in northern Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is another of the many airfields that are all around the coast of Hudson Bay, this one being on the eastern, Quebec side. Akulivik is around 110 miles south of Ivujivik, which is on the northeastern corner of the Bay, and some 60 miles north of Puvirnituq. The population is 630 or so and the village grew from a move back to the area by one family in 1973, followed by others in the following years; the closure of the Hudson Bay trading post post in 1952 had pushed all residents to move south to Puvirnituq. The village is unusual in that it has a built harbour instead of the usual beached storage of boats. The village is built on the central prong of a three pronged spear of headlands (from which the village name is derived) while the airfield is a mile or so further inland. I have no information regarding what I think may be a new terminal building, so this includes only the old original one. The runway is just under 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 09-27, and the ai includes the scheduled flight by an Air Inuit Dash 8-300, plus GA.

| CYEK - Arviat - Nunavut, Canada v 1.1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version of Arviat corrects the VASI position on the runway, and also updates the taxiway edge lights to a newer and smaller version which is more realistically sized. This is a complete version and does not require you to have installed the old version. You can just replace the existing .bgl's and the existing textures in the scenery and texture folders if you already have this scenery. Arviat is a small town on the west coast of Hudson Bay in Nunavut, around 90 miles south of Whale Cove, 130 miles south of Rankin Inlet, and 160 miles north of Churchill. The airfield is just south of the town, and the 4,000 feet of gravel runway is aligned 149T/329T, as these are true bearings and not magnetic, as Arviat is just inside the Northern Domestic Airspace zone. There is 100LL fuel available in drums, with 2 hours prior notice. The visiting AI airline is Calm Air, plus a cargo delivery by Buffalo Air.

| Wabush CYWK in Labrador Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wabush is a small town close to Labrador City, 200 miles north of the Gulf of St Lawrence coast and close to the border with Quebec. The area is known for it's iron mining activity which started in the 1960's. The airport that serves the area is located close to Wabush and there is also a float base on the lake that abutts Labrador. This version is from around 2014. The single runway is aligned 01-19 and is 6,000 feet long, with PAPI on 19 and ILS on 01. Flights by Pascan Aviation, Air Inuit, and Provincial Airlines are included in the AI provided, along with GA flights. I also have WOA ai that provides Air Canada Jazz flights (not included here but worth downloading for Canada). There is also AI for the float base on the lake, which connects to River Deep Lodge for trout fishing on Atikonak Lake around 100 miles to the east and also included here.

| Invermere CAA8 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in the Columbia Mountains (which are part of the Rockies) on the border between BC and Alberta. Invermere is in the same valley as Golden, 65 miles south and midway between Golden and Cranbrook. The town is at the northern end of Lake Windermere, on the western side, with a population of around 3,400. The main touristic feature of Invermere appears to be the provision of a wide choice of golf courses. These are included in the scenery, as are some of the surrounding commercial buildings including a nearby hotel and retail units. Invermere CAA8 is half a mile northeast of the lake, and is home to the non-profit Canadian Rockies Soaring Club that trains pilots during the summer months. The Invermere Soaring Centre, a separate organisation, provides glider towing services and rides for the general public. During the summer the airfield can only be described as busy, with gliders taking advantage of the terrain for ridge soaring. The AI here includes gliders that will take off and then circle around north of the field. The take off is not a realistic glider style launch, and the wind should be from the north; these gliders do not taxi and then turn around at the far end of a runway too well. Once again, like Golden, there is no runway or taxiway lighting, so daylight use only. There are GA visitors to CAA8 between the gliders, presumably carrying golfers and clubs. Due to the surrounding terrain AI aircraft might impact high ground before landing and then just show up on their parking spot.
