Bella Coola Valley Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements

File Description:
One of the most spectacular watersheds of British Columbia's Midcoast, the Bella Coola Valley looks pretty boring in its default FS rendition. These files provide a LOD10 (38-m) mesh made from CDED1 0.75-arcsec data, a new landclass file, and accurate placements of lakes, rivers, streams, and roads. Also includes the glaciers of the Monarch Mt. Icefield and several forestry roads and clearcuts along the side valleys. Made with Ground2K4 based on Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery.

Namibia, Southwestern Africa Mesh Part 1 Of 5

File Description:
Add-on mesh for the entire country of Namibia (S17-29 E11-21), including the Caprivi Strip east to the Victoria Falls (Zambia/Zimbabwe). The source data are 3-arcsec (~90-m) Shuttle Radar (SRTM) files, compiled at LOD9 (76-m) resolution. Processing with John Childs' Blackart (v3.74) and Peter Guth's MicroDEM (v7.02). Includes a LOD7 buffer mesh to prevent blue slivers in the mid to far distance. Part 1 of 5.

Water Effects for AI Ships

File Description:
These are updated water effects for my AI_ships.zip file package. They remove the issue of wind influence on the wake and spray effect. Simply overwrite the previous set of effects in your FS9 Effects folder.

Lillooet-Thompson Region, Southwestern B.C., Canada Mesh

File Description:
New high-resolution (76-m) terrain mesh of 30,000 square km of southwestern British Columbia, covering a 4-degree longitude by 1-degree latitude transect from the mainland coast to Kamloops (N50-51, W120-124). This is probably one of the more spectacular regions of B.C. to represent in such vivid detail. Visit the Fraser and Stein River canyons, Princess Louisa Inlet, and the glacial lakes in the Pemberton area. Made from 50-m digital elevation data, resampled to LOD9 (76-m) horizontal spacing. Designed as an add-on to my LOD7 mesh of the entire province but can be used independently. By Holger Sandmann.

Ketchikan and Annette Island, Southeast Alaska Background Bitmaps

File Description:
This package DOES NOT contain finished FS scenery products! Instead, the three bitmaps (N54.3-55.4 W130.6-131.9) are meant to be used for FS landscape scenery design with Ground2K4 (by Christian Fumey) or similar utilities. Source data are public domain Landsat 7 TM satellite images, at 15-m and 30-m ground resolution. I used professional GIS software for the geographic transformation to lat/long-WGS84 projection, and photo processing software for channel merging and image enhancements. Each image has been tested in Ground2K4 for accurate placement. Note: these images have been ECW-compressed and need special (free) software for decompressing (instructions included).

US North Cascades Mountains and Northwest Washington Coast

File Description:
The files in this package completely replace the FS default landscape of the North Cascades Mountains and coastal areas of northwestern Washington State. Between Bellingham and Arlington (N-S), Orcas Island and Lake Chelan (W-E) you can now enjoy your VFR flights with accurate locations of coastlines, lakes, rivers, streams, roads, railroads, and power lines, as well as land use type (landclass) and terrain (add-on mesh). Also added are the larger glaciers of the majestic North Cascades volcanoes and peaks as well as several forestry roads and clearcuts outside the National Park and Wilderness areas. Made mostly with Christian Fumey's "Ground2K4" and Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast". Fully compatible with the recent freeware LOD10 add-on meshes of the western US. Mesh and landclass files will work in FS2002 but not the special scenery enhancements.

Landscape Enhancements for Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska

File Description:
This is a re-issue of my previously published landscape enhancement packages for parts of Southeast Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, and Washington State. These files have been edited and adjusted to be fully compatible with FlightOne's "Ultimate Terrain: Canada/Alaska" product. Also, I have adjusted some of Ultimate Terrain's lake and river elevations to better fit new third-party add-on mesh files, such as the "Cordillera" mesh by FS Genesis and my freeware mesh files made for the individual coverage areas. Please note: A registered copy of "Ultimate Terrain: Canada/Alaska is required!!!

Terrain Mesh of Glacier National Park

File Description:
New and updated scenery enhancements for the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia and parts of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. They require an existing installation of my files bcmesh9d.zip and/or bcmesh9e.zip. Scenery coverage follows the Trans-Canada Highway from Banff National Park to west of Revelstoke (~350km), with accurate transportation network, rivers and lakes, hydro dams, ski hills, glaciers, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Also, similar enhancements to the parks and towns of the southern Kootenay, Selkirk, and Monashee mountains. The mesh source data are 0.75-arcsec (~23-m) CDED files, compiled at LOD10 (38-m) resolution. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, new lakes and land/waterclass replacements will work well in FS2002.
