| CYGQ - Geraldton - Northern Ontario, Canada * Updated * |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my last scenery post; read the text note in the zip. This greatly modifies my previous (2009) post of Geraldton, and has more purpose-made buildings. The new version is stand-alone and does not require you to have previously installed Geraldton; it interacts with Dryden and Sioux Lookout for AI flights. Geraldton is in northern Ontario, 70 miles northeast of Thunder Bay and 50 miles east of Lake Nipigon. The town is on the northern shore of Kenogamisis Lake and strung out northwards to the east-west railway line. The population is around 2,400 and the origins are in mining. The airport is a further 3 miles or so north, just south of Hutchison Lake. CYGQ has just over 5,000' of asphalt aligned 08-26; I think there used to be a second runway in a similar arrangement to the one at Dryden, but that was long ago. At the eastern end of the runway there are hangars that turn their back on an irregularly-shaped and seemingly unplanned apron; this is because it was unplanned. There was a large addition made so that fire fighting CL 415 planes could be parked there in the summer, adjacent to tanks containing foam and chemical additivies. The AI (available with my Sioux Lookout and Dryden posts) includes CL 415 flights.

| 13 Northern Ontario Airfields in Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are 13 airfields in northwest Ontario, Canada. They were previously posted individually, but not on Avsim. There is a screenshot of Google Earth showing their names and locations. There are also updates to two previously posted airports, Red Lake CYRL and Sioux Lookout CYXL, and AI with the supply flights that are vital for these isolated outposts. Pickle Lake is a northern airfield that is connected to the rest of Canada by an all-weather road, and a large number of the supply flights originate from there. In fact these flights are the primary reason for the small towns existence. This will be followed by a posting of a similar number of northern Manitoba airfields. You may wonder about the numbers of fuel tanks at these airfields. These are not for the airfield use, they are for the settlement to be able to generate electricity and also to provide heating in the winter. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| Hat Island CWHI in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This was a DEW line I Station on Hat Island; the island is around 4 miles square and just under 50 miles southeast of Jenny Lind Island. The station was closed in 1963 and has now been totally dismantled and removed, a fairly easy task given the size. The runway is still there and is a shade over 3,000 feet of gravel 100' wide. There are no lights, signage, or windsock. A North Warning System station was built in 1991 on the site of the I Station, just north of the runway. Most of these DEW line stations are not particularly impressive or even interesting. However, you can bet that any pilot flying regularly in the north along the coast knows where all these runways are, in case one of them suddenly becomes his favourite in the whole world just after the sudden silence.

| 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.

| Thompson CYTH in northern Manitoba, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Thompson is a city with around 13,000 inhabitants, located in northern Manitoba beside the Burntwood River. It serves as the administration centre for a large area of Manitoba and has industrial activities centred around mining and the processing of mined products. The version of the airport upon which this modification is based is the original posting in 2004 by CanUK Scenery. I would have made new buildings and a totally new scenery but I have the same problem as Sid and Pete in their later Thompson scenery: almost no photos!?! The update modifies the short end of the mainly gravel runway to asphalt (it was upgraded because it is regularly used as a taxiway) and also adds a later (2010?) gravel taxiway. The other ground modifications add allocated parking spots for fire fighting CL415 planes that are in the new AI, plus a lot more ga parking. You should already have some AI that includes Calm Air to see CYTH as it really is, the HQ of Calm Air. There are other additions including car parks and the usual sundry bits and pieces that inhabit every airfield. The CL415's with Manitoba textures are adaptations of what were originally Ontario planes and included with my post of Geraldton, not the most recent post in 2013, the one in 2007. If you don't have the planes get them from my Geraldton post. The AI version was made from the original piloted version which was by Massimo Taccoli. The AI helicopter was included in my post of Alma CYTF.

| CYVQ - Norman Wells - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Norman Wells is the last of a series of airfields that are along (or close to) the Mackenzie River and in the Northwest Territories. It is 290 miles southeast of Inuvik and just 40 miles northwest of Tulita. The town growth was accelerated by the discovery of oil in the 1930's and the building of a small refinery in 1937, which is included here; there are now around 840 folks living in the town. The airport is adjacent to the town and has just under 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. North Wright Airways is headquartered there and this is reflected in the AI, which is for all of the newly-posted Mackenzie River postings. There is also helicopter AI, Canadian North, First Air, and there are GA flights. There is a mandatory frequency and the Norman Wells tower is manned 24 hours a day so you will follow atc instructions. In real life the terminal is on two levels; this steep change in terrain level is not possible to achieve in FS9 so although I made it as a two level terminal (ready for the FSX version?) it is here modified into a single level building. There are several "taxiways" which lead to the runway but are without hold short markings. These have been shown but are not included as AI routes. The helicopters presumably hover-taxi to the runway across grass (and snow) in real life; the AI helicopter will taxi on wheels. Note that at mixed-use airports planes and helicopters all follow the same rules of procedure.

| Trail CAD4 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Trail is in the valley carved out by the Columbia River, around 7 miles north of the Canada-US border and on both banks of the river. The town has a population of just under 8,000 and the main industry is mining. The airport is around 3 miles south-east of the town and on the east bank, with the runway parallel to the river and aligned 16-34, 75 feet wide and asphalt. There are currently no runway or taxiway lights, though there is an overall improvement programme in place to cope with increasing passenger demand. A new terminal building was recently completed, along with alterations to road access and parking; as I have no information regarding these road changes I have left the original "terminal" building in place and in use by Pacific Coastal, the only airline to fly to Trail. There is a Youtube video which gives a very good idea of the basic facilities, and of the surrounding hilly terrain which is similar to that at Bella Cooola at the far side of Pacific Coastal's coverage area. The original position of the airport in FS9 before I corrected it was best described as "in a hole". The hole remains nearby as there is no easy way to deal with it.

| CZFM - Fort McPherson - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a series of airfields that follow (approximately) that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river and on the eastern side of the delta there is Tuktoyaktuk, then 80 miles south is Inuvik (both already posted). 70 miles south of Inuvik is Fort McPherson, on the east bank of the Peel River, 20 miles west of the junction with the Mackenzie and on the Dempster Highway. The town has a population of around 830, and (as usual in the north!) was the site of a Hudson Bay trading post, the main post for the Mackenzie delta area for over 50 years. The airport is less than 2 miles to the south of the town, and has 3,500 feet of gravel runway. AI is two ga flights and a Buffalo Airways delivery trip that hops north and south from field to field; this will change with further posts. There is no fuel available.

| CYSK - Sanikiluaq - Southern Nunavut, Canada Revised |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sanikiluaq is on one of the Belcher Islands in Hudson Bay, near the northern end of James Bay, and this is a revised version. It corrects the terminal that I made with limited information and faded memories the first time, adds in signage, runway lights, taxiway lights, terminal night textures, and revised AI. The "spare" parking space is the one next to the 4 gas drums on a pallet; line up with the traffic cone. It presumes you have already installed my September 2010 Sanikiluaq post, and this version is not complete by itself.
