| Windward Farms Airport (4NJ0), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles NW of Rosemont, New Jersey, Windward Farms Airport is a private turf strip. Like most small private turf strips this one can prove to be slightly challenging when it comes to taking off and landing - especially in a crosswind. The runway threads between two separate stands of trees to either side, and 1/4 of the Runway 11 left side is hedged by small trees and bushes. While the published dimensions for this strip are 3500x150 feet, in reality the usable runway space is really 3000x100 feet due to vegetation. This airport as rendered in FSX does not have an actual runway surface, so when you land you will be landing on actual terrain. There isn't a noticeable slope but it can be bumpy so use caution! Edge lighting is provided for the runway, although night landings/takeoffs are not recommended. There are no services provided by this airfield. After landing why not taxi over to the hangar and feed the sheep grazing in the pasture?
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 York 007. 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.

| KSNA, John Wayne-Orange County Airport |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
John Wayne Airport (IATA: SNA, ICAO: KSNA, FAA LID: SNA) is an airport in an unincorporated area in Orange County, California, with its mailing address in the city of Santa Ana, which is also the county seat, hence the International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code. The main entrance to the airport is off of MacArthur Blvd in Irvine, the city that abuts the airport from the north and east. Newport Beach and Costa Mesa form the southern and western boundaries, respectively, together with a small unincorporated area along the Corona del Mar (73) Freeway. Santa Ana lies just north, not actually touching the airport directly. Originally named Orange County Airport, the county Board of Supervisors renamed it in 1979 to honor the actor John Wayne, who resided in neighboring Newport Beach and died that year. It also became the first airport to be named after an entertainer.
The main runway, at 5,701 feet (1,738 m), is one of the shortest of any major airport in the United States, resulting in most passenger aircraft operating from the airport to be no larger than the Boeing 757. However, some larger cargo aircraft, such as the FedEx A310/300, fly from SNA. Some gates are built to handle planes up to the size of a Boeing 767, which can operate with payload/fuel load restrictions. No wide-body passenger aircraft are currently in scheduled service at the airport.

| De Havilland DH89A Dragon Rapide - G-AHAG - Four Repaints |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These four repaints are of G-AHAG from various times in her career. This is from the freeware Dave Garwood model of the DH89, an aircraft that I thoroughly recommend you to download if you have not.
G-AHAG was built in 1945 as one of 335 Dominies built by Loughborough based Brush Coachbuilders. She was owned by Blackburn aircraft of Brough. I have included one of its liveries from this spell in this package. She then did a spell at the original Scillonia airways, being painted in the livery promoting Scenic Flights, another one that I have included in this package. After Scillonia Airways ceased operations in 1969, she was sold and subsequently leased to The Army Parachuting Association. Here, she was painted in the orange livery included. However, there only appears to be one photo online of her in this livery, from 1975, after being unofficially written off, following an incident involving someone ending up in the radio bay after jumping from a Britten-Norman Islander above. I have used this photo as a basis for the livery, so it may be incorrect.
After a very lengthy rebuild of 30 years at Membury Airfield in Berkshire, she was repainted in a scheme based on the original Scillonia Airways livery. This is the fourth repaint included in this pack.

| Repulse Bay CYUT in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a scenery that I started in 2013, temporarily abandoned when I found there was a fault in the coastline that reduced it all to straight lines, and then totally forgot about. Until now, when I discovered that while I had made the Repulse Bay terminal building I had mysteriously not made the scenery. Investigation revealed the reason why and here it is with a coastline that has been repaired to the extent that the fault allowed. Repulse Bay has a population of around 1,100 and since 2015 has been officially named Naujaat, the traditional Inuit name. It is located exactly on the arctic circle on the northern extension of the western side of Hudson Bay, in a large bay off the northern tip of Southampton Island. Coral Harbour is on the far side of the island, 180 miles to the south. The airfield is alongside the town and the coast, with the runway 3,400 feet of gravel with PAPI at both ends, aligned 161T-341T with "T" standing for true as opposed to the unreliable magnetic bearing this far north. The regular scheduled flights are by Air Baffin (an Air Nunavut subsiduary), connecting to Iqaluit some 550 miles to the east. The helicopters are there in the summer with their own fuel in drums around their own parking apron. They land directly on the apron, which cannot be replicated in AI, so they are present only as parked choppers and not flying ones.

| Ulukhaktok (Holman) CYHI in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ulukhaktok (Holman) is an airfield on the west side of Victoria Island, off the northern coast of Canada. It is 320 miles west of Cambridge Bay (and you should download and install the recent post of CYCB by Sid and Pete, as I use it for the AI included in this post) and around 400 miles east of Inuvik (my post of a few months ago). It has been officially called Ulukhaktok since 2006, and before that it's name was Holman.
The village of Ulukhaktok has been placed around the bay and is approximately the right shape; it houses some 460 people who used to rely solely on hunting and fishing. The village is close to 71 degrees north, and there are only four months of the year when the average high is above zero centigrade. The photograph with snow (and of course a frozen sea) is typical; for the frozen sea download my Frozen Rivers & Lakes post which will provide this. The buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, and as in real life there is only JetA available. The AI visiting aircraft are an Aklak Air DC3 (based in Inuvik and operated by Kenn Borek Air) and a Canadian North Dash 8-100. Note that the runways are signed as "true" headings instead of magnetic; in the Canadian Northern Domestic Airspace all headings are given as true. Unfortunately FS9 doesn't accommodate this in ATC.

| Bombardier/Canadiar Regional Jet GE CF34-series Soundpack |
|
File Description:
This sound is intended for use on Project Opensky's models, but they'll work pretty good I am sure on Wilco/Feelthere models and other freeware and payware planes. After month's of hard precision work, I present to you my new realistic and accurate CRJ General Electric CF34-3B and CF34-8C soundpack for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and x. This sound more specifically replicates the sound of the CF34-3C1 which powers CRJ-100 and CRJ-200s, however the CF34-8C sounds extremely similar to the -3B1 with a few minor differences. Also the interior sounds are mainly from a passenger perspective. Once you load your aircraft with these sounds, you'll hear the APU System and Fans in the cabin. You hear the humming sound of the CF34 at idle after you have started the engines. You spool up the engines at takeoff then hear the buzzsaw-like sound of the CF34 engine's fans. Once you lift off and put up the landing gear you will hear a chime from the cabin. It features realistic cockpit sounds like the autopilot deactivation sound, stall buzzer, overspeed beeper, gear up warning sound buzzer, flaps, rolling, and touch-down. I am sure that if you are a frequent Canadier/Bombardier Regional jet aircraft flyer, or if you're a pilot or flight crew onboard a CRJ aircraft, that you'll pretty impressed by these sounds. Give this soundpack a try, I am sure you won't be disappointed!

| Ireland VFR Small Airports part 1 |
|
File Description:
Ireland VFR Small Airports Part 1.
This scenery includes 5 small airports in Ireland. EIDL Donegal is in the far North West, EIAB Abbeyshrule is located in the centre of Ireland. EIKL Kilkenny is located in the South East and Newcastle can be found on the East coast. EITM is a small grass strip to the north West of Dublin. Donegal and Abbeyshrule have paved runways whilst the others consist of small grass strips.
The scenery includes animals, vegetation and rural objects. It also includes sound effects, animations, some high definition people, and aircraft painted using real Irish aircraft photos. Many of the airports include open hangers and buildings modelled from real photographs. Although Donegal is the only one with ILS, full night textures are included for all the airports.
Many of the files are stand alone and can be switched on or off according to user preference. The scenery can be used as a standalone, however it also uses objects from my other scenery addons.
The scenery has been tested with FSXA only and is designed to complement vfr photographic scenery. It will also work with the FSX default terrain, however all objects have been placed using ordinance survey data and may therefore appear misplaced in the default.
Full installation instructions are included in the Readme file.
I hope you enjoy using the airports as much as I enjoyed making them.

| Airspeed AS.5 Courier |
|
File Description:
FSDS V3.0 Airspeed Courier.
Has reflective Textures, usual animations, 2D Panel using all default Gauges plus a VC.
The Airspeed AS.5 Courier was a British six-seat single-engined light aircraft that saw some use as an airliner. Production aircraft were built by Airspeed (1934) Limited at Portsmouth. It first flew on 10 April 1933 and was the first British type with a retractable undercarriage to go into production, with a total of 16 built.
The prototype Courier was designed by Hessell Tiltman (co-founder of Airspeed Limited) and was built in 1932 by Airspeed at York for an attempt by Sir Alan Cobham to carry out a non-stop flight to India, using airborne refuelling. Airspeed moved from York to Portsmouth before the Courier G-ABXN first flew on 10 April 1933. The Courier was a wooden low-winged cabin monoplane; it had a novel feature for the day of a retractable undercarriage. The prototype was powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Lynx engine. The prototype had two minor accidents, in April 1933 at Portsmouth and in June 1933 at RAF Martlesham Heath. The aircraft was repaired on both occasions.
After a year spent perfecting airborne refuelling, Alan Cobham took off from Portsmouth in the prototype Courier on an attempted flight to India on 24 September 1934, being refuelled from a Handley Page W.10 before making a forced landing at Malta due to a broken throttle.

| RAF Wittering 1990 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wittering was opened as an RAF station in 1924, but flying here started way back in 1916 with the Royal Flying Corps.
Initially the Central Flying School was based here from 1926 until 1935. During World War 2, Wittering was a part of 12 Group, which was responsible for the defence of the Midlands.
The station took on a nuclear responsibility in 1956 with the arrival of the V-Force Valiants, and later Victor bombers. Because of this, the runway was increased in length.
After the V-Bombers left, the station took on the mantle of Home of the Harrier, a title it carried with it from 1969, until the stations closure in 2010.
This scenery is made up of various library objects, using ScruffyDuck's ADE9X, to make a close representation of the base, as opposed to being factually accurate.
Brian has incorporated most of the extra runways and representations of deck landing areas that were used at Wittering for V/STOL training - these runways are not active, but may still obviously be used for taking off and landing yourself.
Also included are repaints of John Young's Harrier GR3/T4 AI model, available from flightsim.com. These represent the aircraft of No.1(F) Squadron and No.233 OCU, during 1989-90.
There are also a set of representative flightplans to allow the Harriers to fly "typical" missions and flights.
