| Connellan Airports |
|
File Description:
Connellan Airways was formed in 1939 (known as Survey & Inland Transport until 1943) and the 1967 schedules show 114 airports and airstrips served by the airline across Northern Territory of Australia and reaching out into Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland too (including two named Springvale many miles apart!). It operated until 1980 when it was sold to East West Airlines. The airport at Ayers Rock, once their headquarters, has been named after the airline.
Of those 114 airports and airstrips, very few appear in Flight Simulator or in any add-on I have come across. This package seeks to redress the situation with 81 new A&FD files, representing new airports plus a couple of default ones enhanced with parking spots. Most of the airstrips remain in use today serving remote cattle stations and townships but satellite data shows a few to now be overgrown and out of use. A few cannot be traced owing to poor quality satellite imagery and have had to be omitted here.
All files are based on satellite data including altitude, and therefore work best with a high quality mesh add-on - they will still work with the default landscape of Flight Simulator but some airstrips may look a little high or low compared with the surroundling area.

| Exploring Our World - Part 2 - Easter Island, Chile - SCIP - a complete makover. |
|
File Description:
Exploring Our World - Part 2 - Easter Island, Chile. In part two of this new series you will find a complete makeover of Easter Island which MS virtually ignored. Designed to compliment the fine Mataveri International Airport by Daniel Rojas (scip_o7.zip at Flightsim.com), this package includes Mesh and adjusted coastlines by John Young. John has also provided a new Afcad which removes unrealistic pushback starts. A new landclass file by John Burford adds the villages near the airport and more realistic ground treatments. You will also find numerous scenery enhancements using objects from the RWY12 and EZ Scenery libraries. Francisco Vargas has contributed a set of Thermals which soaring fans will enjoy. Of special interest is the use of AI Volkswagens, as taxi's driving around the airport and AI Helicopters that take visiting tourists on sightseeing tours. The AI Volkswagens have been provided by Ranier Girbig and are used with his permission. Easter Island, home of the mysterious head statues (Moai) has many new and exciting things just waiting for you to explore. Even the small adjacent Moto Nui Island, which MS forgot, has been added. This is the second of a series exploring lesser known parts of our FS world. Please unzip (using folders option) to a temporary folder and follow the documentation very carefully to assure a proper installation. ......

| Airstrips of Central Germany |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Another selection in my Airstrips of Western Europe project, herewith 80+ small airfields in central Germany, each enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces, buildings etc. and aprons as appropriate, to further facilitate the generation of lightweight AI traffic in the area, without overloading the more major airfields.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.
As before, the files for each airfield can be easily identified by the ICAO code, even if the airfield names vary slightly, so you can pick and choose and mix and match to suit any sceneries you already have, should you so wish. There is no requirement for any other download. Each airfield will exist as a stand-alone entity should you only want a few of them.
Please read the rest of this "blurb" in the included text file. There may be some details of note or interest.

| Union Island TVSU in the Grenadines, eastern Caribbean Version 1.1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a self-contained version 1.1 that modifies the terrain flattens around the airport. I found that suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the Lesser Antilles mesh and my flattens were at war and creating hills within the airport boundary. If you are not having problems then you do not need this.
Union Island is in the southern tail of the chain of islands known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, between Canouan and Carriacou. Union is another small island, 3.5 miles long and at its widest 1.5 miles wide; the resident population is around 3,000, mostly in the two towns Clifton and Ashton. The airport is at the eastern end of the island, and has been extended into the sea on landfill. The runway is now around 2,480 feet long, aligned 08 (and with the southeast trade winds it is unlikely that you will find yourself using 26) and with a displaced threshold of 530 feet due to the hill to the west. The terminal is adjacent to a rather small apron; there is parking on the grass north of the taxiway. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. The airport has no lighting, and flights are obliged to land and depart in daylight hours only, outside of which the airport is closed.

| LFRD2004 Dinard/St-Malo VFR Scenery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
LFRD is a regional airport in Brittany, France. This scenery was created entirely with GMax and the latest Microsoft compilers. Everything was made to ensure maximum framerate while giving maximum visual impact, even on humbler machines. This scenery will run just as fast as the default one (which is very bare) with your current settings, even though there are literally thousands of houses, buildings, trees and a detailed airport.
This is a complete package:
-SRTM local mesh with custom coast trimming
-Custom phototexture (200sq km), with seamless blending into FS9 standard landclass
-Full autogen with custom local texture
-Custom landclass and waterclass
-AFCAD2 file with parking codes
-Custom Hi-res photographic textures at airport.
-Gmax buildings and xml librairy objects.
It was made by a real life pilot and is totally aimed at recreating the feeling of being there, not so much on the ground (after all, this is a FLIGHT simulator), but at circuit altitudes. This is not about recreating an airport in all its glorious details at the cost of framerate, but instead an exercise in balancing visual cues and details as viewed from up there to make it 'as real as it gets' within the limits of FS9.

| 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.

| Tongass Remote Airfield v2 - for Tongass Fjords |

File Description:
Tongass Remote Airfield v2 - for Tongass Fjords (FS9)
"Tongass Remote Airfield" v2 (RATR) Alaskan bush flying scenery (Fictitious).
This airstrip is for Flight Simulator 2004 and for the "Tongass Fjords" (FS9) addon by Holger Sandmann & Bill Womack; you must have "Tongass Fjords" (FS9) for this to work. Version 2 is a detailed, stand alone, remake of the first version, see PDF file.
Field history and description:
In the early days this area was well known to prospectors and hunters. A small mine was established and later abandoned. Around the late 40s a crew was contracted to clear a small landing area to gain easier access for hunters and campers. Due to the extreme remoteness of this area that clearing took several years. The last phase was the approach, clearing by hand a descending glide slope through just the tops of the tall trees. There is now just enough room for a very experienced pilot to get in and out of this field. The airfield is 26 miles north of Petersburg Alaska (PAPG). This is a tricky narrow approach with a left hand dogleg and then an immediate right hand dogleg turn just before the final approach. Not much time to set up your approach; also, it's a very short runway. For experienced pilots only, and make sure that your life insurance is up to date. Good luck.

| Peaslees Airstrip Airport (NJ25), New Jersey |
|
File Description:
Located 01 miles SW of Clarksboro, New Jersey on 8 acres of land, Peaslees Airstrip is a private turf field 2207' in length. The hard surface runway has been removed to allow for landings on terrain, so have your terrain mesh set as high as possible. The surrounding area of rural farmland and houses has been filled in to provide an encompassing ground environment with as few breaks to the horizon as possible. There are no services at this airport - if you arrive there is room past the hangar to park and tie down although no tie downs are available in real life, thus you can only start from this airport on the runway. The windsock is located approximately midfield of the runway, as in real life. A second hangar has been constructed nearby the current one, but MSE textures do not reflect this and it was not included. This airport is not lit and daytime VFR operations only are recommended.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview/aerial photos - the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 004. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.

| Stallone Airport (9NJ5), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 01 miles SE of Harrisonville, New Jersey, Stallone Airport is a private turf strip 1350' in length. However it should be noted that the actual length from the road to the trees on the opposite end of the runway is actually only around 900'. It is tightly hemmed in by trees so if you are landing on Runway 29 you may want to use Slew to turn your plane around to remove the risk of bumping into a tree instead. If you land on Runway 11 you can cross the road to turn around in the field opposite the runway. The windsock can be seen from both runways. Power lines run along the heights of the trees as well for the Runway 29 approach, on the same side as the trees though so not really any additional worry there. No transient services are available. There is no hard surface runway so make sure your terrain mesh slider is set as high as possible for a suitably bumpy ground experience.
