| Prince George CYXS in British Columbia, Canada |
|
File Description:
Prince George is centrally located in British Columbia, mid way between the border with the USA in the south and the northern border with the Northern Territories, and around 100 miles west of the eastern border with Alberta. The town now has a population of around 74,000 and is regarded as the province's northern capital. It is at the meeting point of the Fraser and Nechako rivers and the crossroads of highways 16 and 97. It started out as Fort George in the early 1800's when a trading post was established by the Northwest Company,serviced by paddle boats on the rivers. The railway arrived in the area in 1914 and growth continued, albeit slowly due to wars and the financial collapse of the 1930's. Timber and timber products were and still are the mainstay of the area, along with a military and governmental presence.
The date for this scenery is around 2010. I have made some new buildings from memory and the available information online. They are not totally accurate reproductions; for instance I know that the terminal building is brick faced and also has parts that are stone (or metal?) faced, but where? So I used brick everywhere. The control tower is also brick faced, but is not exactly the right shape. The airport management team have continued to grow the activity and services provided with the result that flights and passenger numbers continue to increase. The 15-33 runway was lengthened to the south, (in the period 2003 to 2005) from the original FS9 scenery 7,400 feet to my updated 11,450 feet with central lighting and ILS at the northern end. This made it the third longest runway in Canada. At the same time a loading/unloading cargo area was created with professionally run storage and also a large scale refueling storage. If DHL want to refuel their 737 then they can do so without making prior arrangements.
The AI included here is for Air Canada Jazz and an Air Canada 737, Westjet 737 and Dash8, a helicopter company that is based there, Pacific Coastal, Central Mountain Air, and GA. The range of airlines and planes reflects the "northern capital" status of the town.

| Smithers CYYD in British Columbia, Canada, Updated |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Made in December 2018 as an update of the original post of 2014, to correct the apron markings, revise the AI, increase the number of GA parking spots, and most importantly to correct the runway lighting by adding the missing approach lights. This scenery is complete and can be installed as-is without first installing the 2014 version. Smithers is in northwest BC, 60 miles east and a bit north of Terrace, and directly east of the southern border of Alaska. The town has a population of 5,500 and is set in a north-south valley between mountains, the most impressive of which is Hudson Bay Mountain to the west. The airport is to the north of the town and has a single runway of 7,544 feet, aligned 33-15. The main user is Central Mountain Air, who are headquartered in Smithers and have a large maintenance hangar there next to the terminal building. The airport has scheduled flights by Central Mountain Air, Jazz, and Hawk Air, which are in the AI. The AI provided here is a new CYYD traffic bgl; in total the AI also includes a Dawson Creek traffic bgl (recently revised and posted) plus a Terrace traffic bgl (which will shortly be revised and posted). An Electra of Conair (who are the largest operator of fire fighting planes in BC, and have re-fill tanks in Smithers) is included and also a HS 748 of Air North.

| Green Lake CBG2 in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Green Lake is on the eastern side of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, around 40 miles north of Cache Creek and 15 miles south of 100 Miles House (a previous posting). The airfield is beside the lake shore and serves the Flying U holiday ranch with a grass runway 2,575 feet long and aligned 18-36. There is no lighting. There is also mooring on the lake for boats and float planes. I have posted it as Green Lake CBG2, but I suggest that you just add it to your previously created "BC airfields", if you followed my previous suggestion. You then avoid the inevitable doubling up of common textures etc. Plus that way you will have just one FS9 library post to do and new airfields will not need yet another posting. Up to you. It just occurred to me that probably only a few of you have a copy of the Nav Canada Airfields handbook, so won't know the airfield altitudes, which is useful to have amid mountains. So, Pemberton is 670 feet Above Sea Level, Cache Creek 2,034 feet ASL, and Green Lake 3,550 feet ASL. The others to follow as posted. If you find a defect, email me.

| Campbell River floats CAE3 in BC Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Campbell River is a medium sized town on Vancouver Island, some 50 miles north of Vancouver. The base is just north and west of the town on Spit Road. And Ultimate Terrain is required for the cost to be in the right place. The docks are on the south side of the spit, on the (relatively) sheltered river side, though take offs and landings are requested to take place outside the harbour if conditions permit. The base is noted as used and run by Corilair, though in fact there is also another company based there, Vancouver Island Air, who like Coril Air also have two docks, one for boarding passengers and one for maintenance and refuelling tie-ups. At the river mouth there is a small marina, run by the same folks who run the trailer park, and next to that a dock for visiting float planes. There is a seventh dock at the end furthest from the river mouth; I don't know what that is used for but it is next to Vancouver Island Air and might be theirs. At low tide there are numerous sandbanks (and more permanent islands with bushes and trees) in the mouth of the Campbell River and I decided to ignore installing these with all the problems they would cause me. The main buildings and most of the others are modeled specifically for this scenery; minor items like parked cars are RWY12.

| Whati CEM3 in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whati is a village at the southern end of Lac La Martre, a smaller lake (only by Canadian standards, at over 40 miles long) halfway between the Great Slave Lake and the Great Bear Lake and around 100 miles north of Yellowknife. The North West Company established a trading post there in 1793, and this was the centre for local trading in the area for 100 years until a post was opened by the Hudson Bay Company on the Great Slave Lake. The current population is in the region of 520. There is no graded road access and access is by boat or air. The main local economy revolves around hunting and fishing, with efforts being made to increase tourism amid the wilderness and the wildlife. The airfield is just over a mile east of the village, with a runway of around 3,400 feet of gravel aligned 09-27 as of 2010, with PAPI at both ends and lit. There are scheduled flights from Yellowknife by Air Tindi, included in the AI, and some GA. The terminal building is similar to that of Lutselk'e, but with a different colour scheme and with solar panels on the roof. It appears that they repaint the sign on the front of the building with a different wording every time; the one I have used is one of three that have existed in the last few years. The photos I had originally were taken in the winter, with snow. Seeing it in the summer I discovered that my version of the building is not at the right level above the ground by about a foot, or 30cm. I was too lazy to make it again, which was the only way to get it right and still have it throw a shadow on the ground. This scenery modifies the lake shore, corrects levels for land and lake, and adds the village and a connecting road in addition to the airport. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Puntzi Mountain CYPU in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Puntzi Mountain is near a village called Chilanko Forks, approximately midway between Bella Coola and Williams Lake and just north of the Chilcotin to Bella Coola Highway. It is what remains of a military base and which currently shows in FS9 as a town, reduced in my scenery version to what remains after the base was closed and cleared. All that remains of the base is now the runway, over 6,000 feet of asphalt aligned 04-22, unlit, at 2,985 feet above sea level, and with centre line markings that are almost invisible. The runway is used in the summer for whatever local fire-fighting operations are needed by ConAir and there are some buildings and fuel tanks for this. It is also used for local flights such as those for a lodge on Puntzi Lake to the north. I have added three AT-802 textures with additional tail numbers for use in the AI. These are to be added to an aircraft that you very likely already have and which was included in Don Grovestine's posting of Abbotsford CYXX. I have also included the revised config file that adds the planes to Don's original; save the original config under another name and replace it with mine. Put the three new texture folders in with the original, which is called "CYXX-AI_Air Tractor AT-802 (Wheels)". If you do not have Don's scenery I suggest you get it, as his work is worth having and like Greg Putz he puts in a lot more effort than I do. The L188 Electra should already be with you if you downloaded my Smithers CYYD scenery. If you find a defect, email me.

| Lutselk'e CYLK in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lutselk'e is a village on the southern shore of the Great Slave Lake, at the eastern end and about 120 miles east of Yellowknife. The Hudson Bay trading company established a post there in 1925, and the current school opened in 1960. The population is in the region of 330. There is no road access, but the government runs a freight shipping service during the ice-free period of the Summer. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a runway of around 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 08-26 with PAPI at both ends and lit, with lights atop traffic cones. There are scheduled flights from Yellowknife by Air Tindi, included in the AI, as is a once a week freight flight by Buffalo Airways. You will need to have downloaded and installed my runway and taxiway lighting library from recent posts. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Cache Creek CAZ5 in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cache Creek is a small village of around 1,000 folks on the eastern side of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, around 70 miles northeast of Pemberton and 40 miles west of Kamloops. The village is in a valley bottom and recently suffered from severe flooding due to the overflow of the river. The airfield is high above the town, with a runway aligned 15-33 and 3,280 feet of asphalt, without runway or taxiway lighting; hence "airfield" as opposed to "airport". I have posted it as Cache Creek CAZ5, but I suggest that you revise the name to perhaps "BC airfields" and just load my future airfield posts into the same scenery and texture folders to avoid the inevitable doubling up of common textures etc. Plus that way you will have just one FS9 library post to do and new airfields will not need yet another posting. Up to you. If you find a defect, email me.

| Boundary Bay CZBB in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Boundary Bay is south of Vancouver in British Columbia, close to the US/Canada border. It is the 5th busiest airfield in Canada measured in terms of take offs and landings as there are several training companies based there. The airfield was purchased by Alpha Aviation in 2009 and and modernised for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the main addition being a new terminal. This is an ex-military training base which was built in 1941, and one of the original hangars still survives. The two runways in use now (07/25 5,600' and 12/30 2,750', both of them 100' wide) are reduced asphalted areas of the original runways; the third runway is now an apron for GA parking and has had hangars built along it. There is JetA and 100LL available. The large building at the east end of the north apron is a HQ and maintenance facility for a helicopter company, Heli-one. All of the north apron buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, plus the nearby huge greenhouse farm structures which are visible from further away than the airfield is. AI for Boundary Bay will be posted later this week.

| Embrun CPR2 in Ontario Canada 2012 Revision |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Embrun is in Ontario a few miles southeast of Ottawa, and southwest of my posted strips Russel Farm, Russellet Strip, and Indian Creek. It is a real airfield, used by Embrun Flying Club, and there is now fuel since the owner built a house on the field and moved in, and more hangars than there used to be. All in all a nice airfield with a grass runway 2,260 feet long, and in this REVISED version with a new windsock. There are electric cables strung along the road at the eastern end of the runway, marked by visibility balls; watch out for those. At the western end there are some old grain silos; these shouldn't be a problem, and if you are flying a taildragger give you something to aim at until the tail comes up. I did my first grass field landing and take off there when I was learning to fly, and it is just the right distance from Rockcliffe for a nice afternoon training flight. Look out for geese taking off from the fields to the west when you use 26; that departure from Embrun along with 50 geese was more entertaining than most.
