| FS9 Bar River CPF2 in Ontario, Canada UPDATE |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an update for Bar River, the missing textures for a parked Norseman. There would have been an error message when you ran the scenery, but this was reported to me by only one down-loader. As I have previously stated, there is no way for me to easily check that I have included everything needed, and I (and other designers) rely on end-user participation for information when I have erred from the straight and narrow. A response rate of less than 1% is way short of "participation".

| Carp CYRP in Ontario Canada (updated October 2011) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version further updates the post of 2006 and the 2009 update with more bespoke buildings for the west GA apron plus the revised fuelling area, and corrected surroundings with large forested areas and a modified airfield grass shape. This is a stand-alone version and does not require you to have downloaded and installed the previous posts; this REPLACES those versions. Carp airfield is fifteen miles west of Ottawa and two miles south of the town of Carp. There are two runways, 10/28 which is asphalt and almost 4,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, and 04/22 which is gravel and 2,000 feet long. The airfield has a fairly large population of general aviation residents and is slowly expanding under new ownership. This version models the large hangar beside the terminal, the "Touch'n Go" aviation warehouse that has opened more recently, and the ramshackle collection of hangars and sheds that make up Westair, the maintenance facility. The nearby pagoda-roof flight school building has in fact now been demolished, but I like it too much to do that, at least until something else has been built on that space.

| Lac des Plages grass strip in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lac des Plages is in Quebec on the north shore of the lake (and village) of the same name, some 55 miles northeast of Ottawa. It is an old grass strip and next to a tourist trailer park ("caravan" to the English). The runway is almost north-south and 2,200 feet long, and I went there to see if it is still in use. It is in good condition but there was nobody to ask (in early April) if it is still used and nobody turned up see if a plane had landed. I doubt if it is used regularly as there are no "wear" marks that show up on a grass strip, and the flare pots (actually old wheel rims with charcoal in them?) beside the runway could have been lit three months ago or three years ago, there was no way to tell. The single hangar is obviously no longer in use as a hangar, and the lack of a fence between the trailers and the grass strip would be a danger to pilot and strolling pedestrian alike. However, the runway still exists and here it is and as in real life the northern end slopes unevenly up.

| Kimmirut CYLC on Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kimmirut is a village of some 400 folks at the southern end of the southwest-facing coast of Baffin Island, 75 miles southwest of Iqaluit. It is on the northern side of the Hudson Strait between Baffin Island and Quebec, opposite Kangiqsujuaq on the Quebec shore. The airfield is served by two flights per week, one on Monday and another on Friday, only half fueled to be able to use the 1,899' of gravel 75' wide runway. The terminal building is small and there is a garage building for airport maintenance vehicles (snow clearing). There are some nearby buildings that I have included. The village is "represented" (not "modeled") with approximately the right shape and road layout. Take enough fuel so that you can leave again, as fuel is no longer for sale here. The Cape Dyer bgls are to make a small correction, it is explained in the text. I will not be posting new sceneries in the future and this is the last one for Avsim; it completes Baffin Island.

| Repost of Dryden Regional CYHD in Ontario Canada |
|
File Description:
This repost is first to deal with some lighting problems on the runways (though I still couldn't get rid of the taxiway lights that head off across the grass) and also to provide the right AFCAD file.
Dryden is in northwest Ontario on the shore of Wabigoon Lake. The airfield is some five miles northeast of the town. It has two runways, one 2,000 feet long and sand, the other 11/29 and 6,000 feet of asphalt 150 feet wide. There is a terminal building, a hangar for Thunder Airlines, and some GA hangars at and near the western apron, and in the Summer there is a flock of fire-fighting Canadair CL415 amphibs at the eastern apron together with the Ministry of Natural Resources Ontario fire fighting headquarters establishment, accomodation, and maintenance facilities. Among others Bearskin Airlines fly there, a wonderful punning name.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #01 Leamington (CLM2) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a series of small airfields in southern Ontario, Canada. It is Leamington CLM2, a field near a small town of the same name beside Lake Erie. The airfield has an asphalt runway of 3,820 feet, though with displaced thresholds at each end due to electric cable strung along the roads for an effective landing length of around 2,800. Right-hand circuits for runway 19 to avoid over-flying a nature reserve around a stretch of shallow water to the northeast. The intention is that downloaders will add further posts to the first, which will avoid unnecessary texture duplication (for instance for parked cars or planes) and avoid adding yet another small field to the FS9 scenery library. The second airfield will probably be Harrow CGL2, a grass field to the west of Leamington.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #6 Nixon CNX8 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the sixth in a series of small airfields in southern Ontario Canada, Nixon CNX8, an airfield 20 miles south of Brantford and 10 miles north of Lake Erie, just west of the small town of Simcoe. It was not included in FS9 as it did not exist then; I do not know when it was first registered, but it was prior to April 2010 (the date of the oldest copy of the Canada Flight Supplement that I have with me). The airfield has a grass runway of 2,800 feet aligned 12/30, unlit. The owner has a small crop-spraying business, and there are also hangars rented to local plane owners. Fuel and oil is available.
This scenery post is not necessarily complete in itself and presumes you are adding it to the series of Ontario Small Fields.

| Dawson Creek CYDQ in British Columbia, Canada UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a revised version of Dawson Creek CYDQ and the floats base CBD3, made primarily to provide one of the parked planes with it's textures but also to improve the apron markings and the AI. The float AI now includes Beavers and I also removed two planes that were not properly showing their textures in my current FS9 installation. The Beavers were included in my post of Nimpo Lake CAF8 and will need to be installed to show up here. This version is complete in itself and can be installed as-is if you do not have the original scenery. Dawson Creek is at 2,148 feet asl just east of the Rocky Mountains, less than 10 miles west of the BC/Alberta border and where the Rockies are at their narrowest. The population grew when the Northern Alberta Railway was extended to Dawsons Creek in 1932, and grew even more more when the Alaska Highway was built in 1942, starting from Dawsons Creek. In the 1950's the town was linked through the Rockies by a railway and a road to the BC interior, and the town grew again. Now it is static at just under 12,000 and once again has become a farming centre, with Fort St John and Grand Prairie winning out for new industry and commerce. The airport is just to the east of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 06/24, lit, and with PAPI and approach lights. There is also a water runway for float planes, separately designated as Dawson Creek CBD3. The two effectively operate as one; traffic for both use the mandatory frequency of 122.2 and talk to one controller in one control tower. However, in FS9 the ATC for two separately designated airfields (or float fields) operates as if they are nowhere near each other and takes no notice of near misses between the two lots of planes. As a result I have put them both in un-manned tower mode so you will announce your position and intentions and select your own parking spots, either next to one of the hangars or on the grass. The aprons vary from asphalt, to concrete, onwards to gravel, and then further onwards to some gravel amid the bare dirt; I have replicated this variation as far as FS9 permits.

| Peace River CYPE in northwest Alberta, Canada UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version of the original post (from 2014) made in November 2018. It provides missing textures, and deals properly with an ai problem that I thought I had already fixed. It also adds extra objects to the apron area and adds a third gate. It is complete in itself and can be installed as-is if you do not have the original post. The Peace River flows east from the Rockies, joining up with the Slave River to empty into Great Slave Lake. The town is on both banks close to a bend where the Peace turns to the north, 245 miles northwest of Edmonton. The population is 7,000 and the surrounding area is either farmland or forest. The airport is just over 3 miles west of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 04/22, lit, and with PAPI. There is a second runway to the south of the main runway, 1,900 feet of grass and aligned 08/26. The apron is to the north of the runway at the eastern end and is large; there is a purpose-built terminal building, plus other hangar buildings along taxiway C that extends westward from the apron. The airport is experiencing an increase in scheduled and GA flights in the last few years.
