| Bethel area airfields in southwest Alaska close to the Yukon River |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This presumes you have already installed my post of Bethel PABE. In the Yukon River area of Alaska there are a lot of small villages close together, which is unusual for Alaska. Almost all of them are on the coast or a river bank, and the local economies depend on fishing. Some are larger than others and have a fish processing plant, such as in Emmonak. This is the largest such plant and it exports prepared fish by cargo planes which fly in on a daily basis, using an extended runway. This post includes airfields to the south and west of PABE, 17 of them; some of them already included and now modified. There will be more airfields to the north and northwest of Bethel in a future post. There are revisions to Bethel to include parking spaces for Yute Air (newly included here) and extra spaces for Ryan Air. Both of these flew Cessna 205 planes into the smaller village strips from Bethel (past tense as Yute Air recently went bankrupt). The northwest area is served both from Bethel and also from St Mary's PASM, which is in the northwest and at a more economical range to the local airfields (100 miles closer than Bethel). These smaller airfields have few airfield buildings or any other creature comforts; featuring heavily are a new standard blue garage building (sometimes not yet installed) and a small and old terminal shed (that has sometimes collapsed and been removed). Go to "http://vfrmap.com/" for free vfr maps of the area, There is a pic of the local chart area included here. The screenshots are a random sample. Kipnuk PAKI is the one that appears to have a second and long grass runway; what it actually has is the ground prepared for a new and long gravel runway but which hasn't been started yet as it has taken 10 years just to prepare the ground. I have no idea why.

| St Michael Island in Alaska-St Michael 5S8 and Stebbins WBB |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Michael Island is 50 miles southwest of Unalakleet, an island that in fact appears to be a cape and a firmly attached piece of the mainland. On the island there are two villages, St Michael on the northeast corner and Stebbins on the northwest. St Michael has a new airfield that is west of the village by around a mile or so, with a gravel runway 4,000 feet long. The old and now closed airport was known as SMK, and is now readily identifiable by the new red-roofed school building that occupies the centre of the runway. The new airfield now has an icao code of PAMK, but FS9 does not readily accept icao code changes so we are stuck with the original code it was given, 5S8. The SMK icao of the old airport will still show on your gps as if I deleted it the runway would also have to be deleted, and a substitute and unsatisfactory gravel apron made to impersonate a runway. Stebbins is 5 miles west of St Michael and next to the shore, a smaller village than St Michael with around 250 inhabitants. The airfield is at the southern end of the village and has a gravel runway that is 3,000 feet long. The icao code is WBB. There is no AI included here as it was already included in the post of Shaktoolik. There is a correction here for Shaktoolik, which I now find should have had a blue garage, not a red one; I wrongly named a photo. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 501 and there will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I took or found for scenery purposes. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airfield (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

File Description:
All four of these depend heavily on fishing but two of them only spring into existance during the salmon catching-and-canning season. Grant Air run scheduled flights to the two permanent settlements, and there are irregular scheduled flights and charters to the others according to demand. Ugashik is a permanent settlement 60 miles northeast of Port Heiden, stretched out along the east bank of the Ugashik River. There are two canneries, one old and collapsing and the other newer and functioning. The population is given as 12, though during the season this increases significantly. The (newer) airfield is at the northern end of the village with a gravel runway 3,500 feet long aligned 06-24. Egegik is the second permanent settlement, 45 miles north of Ugashik and 40 miles southwest of King Salmon, on the east bank of the Egegik River. The town is on a corner of land, with a population of around 110 and two operating canneries. The airport is a mile and a half south of the town with two gravel runways, 12-30 at just under 5,600 feet and 03-21 with 1,500 feet; both are lit. On the other side of the Egegik River are more canneries and two airfields, both of which have two runways but are otherwise entirely without facilities or luxuries such as lights. They are called Bartletts (named for the cannery it serves) and Coffee Point (named for the location). The shacks of the seasonal fishermen are strung out along the coast and a lot of the salmon fishing is by net, laid by a small boat and later pulled ashore for emptying. Only one cannery on the west shore has a docking facility for unloading boat-caught fish.

| USCG Air Station Kodiak Alaska PADQ Scenery Package with AI Aircraft |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Thanks to Airport Design Editor(ADE), Military AI Works (MAIW) scenery and aircraft, along with AI Flight Planner3 (AIFP3), I did my best to re-create USCG Air Station Kodiak for FSX. Creating this airport scenery was my first BIG (for me) project in ADE, but thanks to MAIW and their Global Scenery Library Objects, I think I've succeed in re-creating the airbase. You'll need to go to MAIW's website and download the "Global Scenery" package for any of this to work for you, so I've copied that website link below (in STEP 1). I also painted Kodiak markings onto all the MAIW AI Aircraft for added realism.
And just for fun, I placed a USCG Cutter and a "fishing boat in distress" (complete with green smoke) out in the harbor as a "Practice Recue Scenario". The Cutter has a "hard deck" to land on and I've also illuminated both it and the Fishing boat for DUSK and NIGHT practice.

| Mangalore Airport VOML |
|
File Description:
This scenery models Bajpe Airport, Mangalore (VOML) in Southern India (as seen in 2004). Works best when combined with my "India_76m-Mesh_Part_A" available at the AVSIM library.
Mangalore airport is known for it's infamously short runway that sits on top of a table-top mountain. This is modelled quite accurately in my mesh for Southern India. There have been quite a few near miss incidents in the past 20Yrs. So, if you're flying big tin, don't forget to step on the brakes ;-)

| Fish Lake Fix |
|
File Description:
This is a fix for the FS2002 default scenery that surrounds the airport at fish lake USFS in Idaho. It also works with Denney's mesh (originally created for FS2000, but works fine in FS2002). The default scenery has fish lake that is situated at the approach end of of runway 21 elevated about fifty feet above the elevation of the airport. This scenery .bgl flattens the lake area to make the approach to runway 21 as it is at the real airport.

File Description:
Ultra-challenging bush scenery set in Washington state's Olympic National Park, just west of Seattle. Consists mainly of small mountain lakes to test the skills of floatplane pilots, but there is also a special sloping airstrip for regular planes. There are 2 groups of scenery included: one on Mount Olympus itself, and the other just a few miles North of Emma Field in the southeast corner of the Park. Requires Steve Greenwood's Olympic National Park/Emma Field mesh (fst-30m10-wa-ef.zip).

| Official Water Aerodromes located in Province of Quebec territory. |
|
File Description:
These are AFCAD2 Scenery files for most popular and visited waterbases located in the province of Quebec, Canada. Your Ai floatplanes will come alive with these "invisible" waterbases airports installed (AI traffic flightplans required.) and your flyable floatplanes will be allowed to take-off directly into water, at official water aerodromes, using FS9 airports menu. Thanks to Holger Sandmann who has developped this technique. Must be used with Gilles Gauthier's "Terrain Mesh Province of Quebec" for FS2004 and his excellent "Quebec Sceneries Enchancements".
