Latin VFR Cuzco Photo and Airport Scenery

File Description:
Cuzco or how is also formally known today as “Cusco” is one of the most important cities of Peru and is the historic capital of the Inca empire, it is also the historical capital of Peru designated by its constitution. The city is located in the Andes mountains and its elevation is above 3310 metres or 10860 feet above sea level. The city is nearby the ancient historical symbol of the Incas, Machu Picchu which is about 80 kilometers from Cusco, which became one of the New seven wonders of the world back in 2007. This airport (SPZO) or (CUZ) has a visibility restriction and only operates during daylight due to the requirement of a visual approach to land. The aircraft operate mainly in one direction of flight in and out of this airport, they land on runway 28 and depart on runway 10. During weather situations in which no visual approach can be made the airport is closed until the weather gets better. No pilot dares to land with an overcast sky into an airport completely surrounded by mountains and no precision guidance navaid in order to assist for the landing. Therefore all landings conducted are SOLELY visual, and strict VFR rules apply. American Airlines (AA) briefly operated in this airport in the late 90’s and the word out there was that they kept doing miss approaches having difficulties with the approach, so it is widely known to be an airport dominated by veterans of the Cuzco approach, mainly Peruvian pilots or Andean pilots that know how difficult it is to have such restrictions. This is certainly the Madeira or the Innsbruck of all Latin American airports, it would be wise to say that this one is harder due to the lack of a precision approach. And by the way the largest aircraft permitted to operate here is a B757-200, however, anything bigger than a B737-200 needs government approval.

Flight dynamics Douglas DC-3 V7.0

File Description:
This Corrected Aircraft.cfg VERSION.7 dated OCTOBER 13th, 2003 Features the Following.... 1. The DC-3 will now not level itself out on a coordinated turn (This was the biggest issue and is now fixed) 2. Flaps now have a little more drag when used. (Will realistically slow down for landings and you wont roll down the runway so much) 3. Differential braking now has a little more power. (Will realistically allow for tighter turns during taxi) 4. The DC-3 itself now has a little more power. (Default version is underpowered and used up too much runway, and.. Default version cruise speed was a little low). 5. Corrected Manifold pressure from 47" to 48" full power (Default version had it slightly wrong) 6.Fuel is now down to 200 per tank (Default has version was a little over) 7. All control surfaces, ailerons, rudder and elevators now have delay (There is a certain lag time when flying a DC-3 and it now shows with these corrections which delays your input to the controls) 8. Elevator trim is now fixed (To much play in the default elevator trim , it is now fixed with less play and also has a delay/lag effect) 9. Rudder trim now with delay/lag 10. Aileron trim now with delay/lag 11. Fuel Flow is now fixed, the DC-3 will burn 90 GPH instead of the original 118 GPH 12. Increased power scalar very slightly for correct cruise airspeed 13. Manifold pressure will decrease 1" MAP per 1,000 feet after 2,000 feet Altitude 13.Exactly 140 kias on full tanks at 9,000' ASL 14. Added Strobe Lights to the wings 15. Adjusted steering (just a tad) for better taxiing 16.Prop (rpm) and Power (map) throttles interact correctly Took off some delay with ailerons and rudder Removed some drag and pitch up from the flaps Added more brake power to the differentials 17. Added a working NAV light to the Nose I have also added a corrected DC-3 reference sheet". In the zip there are two aircraft.cfg's.. one is modified if you are already using the add-on for special effects.

File Description:
Fort Nelson is close to the Peace River in the northeast corner of British Columbia, around 70 miles from the northern border, 90 from the eastern border, and 80 miles east of the Rockies. The wartime construction of the Alaska Highway actually started from Fort Nelson, as there was already a road from Fort St John (which is close to Dawson Creek) north to Fort Nelson. The airfield was part of this construction effort and after the wartime ferrying of planes to Russia it was used by the US Army Air Force and then by the Canadian Air Force. Fort Nelson flourished with the oil and gas exploration of the 1950's and the following years, and this continued to grow until the collapse of the oil price in 2014. The town of Fort Nelson became the capital of the Northern Rockies Regional District when it was founded in 2009, and as a result the official name of the Fort Nelson airport is the Northern Rockies Regional Airport. The date for this scenery is around 2016, by which time the economic fortunes of the town were in decline. Five times per day flights by Central Mountain Air were starting to be reduced in number to the current (in 2022) one per day and none on Sunday; in the AI included here there are two flights per day. The main resident users of the airport are four helicopter companies, the helicopters presumably used for maintenance trips to whatever parts of the oil and gas fields that are still in use in the surrounding area. There are two runways, the main one is aligned 03-21, 6,400 feet long and 200 feet wide, with ILS at the southern end and PAPI at the northern. The second runway (a narrower rebuild on a previously existing runway) is aligned 07-25 and 77 feet wide, and is without any lights. These are the alignments as per the original build of FS9 and not as per the approximate 2016 date of the buildings; I had a problem at a very late stage in making this scenery which prevented me from continuing with some final details. On YouTube there is a series of posts by Angle of Attack showing the preparation and then the flight of an old Cessna 172 from Homer to Oshkosh for the installation of modern instruments. Interesting for me as they visit or fly over airfields I have made (Homer, Merrill, Tok Junction, Burwash, Silver City, Haines Junction, Watson Lake, Fort Nelson, and Grande Prairie) but in the winter so it all looks very different.
