| New 300-m (LOD7) Terrain Mesh of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska #4 |
|
File Description:
Mid-resolution (300-m) terrain mesh for the entire province of British Columbia (950,000 square km) and the Alaska panhandle southeast of N60 W139. Made from 250m-resolution source data without oversampling. Easy on frame rates and hard drive space. It transforms the rounded mountains of the default terrain mesh into a much more realistic representation of the diverse topography of this beautiful corner of the world. Experience the spectacular scenery between Vancouver and Atlin, Juneau and Fort St. John, and Mount Robson to Clayoquot Sound. Fourteen independent mesh tiles allow you to select the region(s) you like best. Several high-resolution add-on meshes will be uploaded separately. By Holger Sandmann. Part 4 of 4: All areas between 48 and 51 degrees North. Note: this part contains updated read-me.txt and .pdf files - please use these instead of the ones distributed with the first three parts!

| British Columbia Bush Scenery: Grant Narrows & Rambo's Hideout |
|
File Description:
The larger runway at Grant Narrows has a 15 degree bend, and the shorter runway is on a slope that involves an unconventional downhill landing & an uphill take-off (STOL planes only!). Both strips are bumpy, and require Holger Sandmann's mesh of the Lower Mainland of Southern British Columbia (bcmesh9c.zip) for the required effect. A dock is provided down on the lake shore for visitors on floats. The landing strips are fictional, set in an area of wilderness on the shores of Pitt Lake - but only 20 miles from downtown Vancouver. The first Rambo movie was filmed in the hills just to the east in the Golden Ears Provincial Park: if you fly north from Grant Narrows you'll find Rambo's airstrip hideout just a couple of miles past the end of the lake - the real life location of a popular fishing lodge. Also requires Gerrish Gray's trees (trees_v3.zip).

| CYQQ (2010) Version 2 for FS9, FSX and Prepar3D |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CYQQ (2010) portrays Canadian Forces Base Comox (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada) (CYQQ), the Comox Valley Air Terminal and surrounding area. It is fully compatible with Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska for FS2004, Ultimate Terrain X - Canada for FSX and ORBX's FTX NA Blue. CYQQ (2010) includes over 100 "hand-crafted" buildings and other structures and 10 different vintage aircraft on static display, as well as aircraft and traffic files for a realistic AI scenario that causes a variety of military aircraft that come and go. (Use BC Regional AI - also available from this file library - for scheduled traffic.) Civilian AI is now routed so as not to transit military aprons.
Aside from the new approach lighting, generally, this new version is visually identical to its predecessor - even though quite different internally. As well, to the extent possible, it is compatible with Prepar3Dv2.

| Coal Harbour CAQ3 float base in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is number eight in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Coal Harbour is in a sheltered cove off Holberg Inlet on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island, close to the village and 10 miles southwest of the Port Hardy float base. There is 100LL fuel and oil available. Due to the deep fjords that run into Vancouver Island from the west coast Coal Harbour is actually closer to the east coast than it is to the west coast. The tortuous route in through Quatsino Sound and Rupert Sound shelters the waters of Holberg Inlet from the stormy seas of the west coast, and fishing boats take advantage of this. The floatplane dock is to the south of the large (and old) hangar, adjacent to the southern end of the fixed dock where the ramp bridge descends to the floating docks. The video makes it clearer. The AI is a further adaptation of the CF36 AI and involves Beavers and Otters as listed in the AI folder. Due to the surrounding hills there may be some interference with AI aircraft, depending on the wind direction, though I have watched succesful Beaver and Otter landings. Amid the hills there is a very large hole in the ground to the east. The village name suggests it may have been for coal but though in fact there was a coal mine, that was a much smaller and unsuccesful venture; this particular scene of enthusiastic digging was for copper, until 1996. The main claim to fame of Coal Harbour was that it was the last whaling station in North America, using the buildings that were part of the RCAF float plane patrol base during WW2. One downloader reported a texture problem with Port McNeill, to which we found a solution. As he was the only person to email me I am going to presume that nobody else had the problem.

| NW Tour Flights |
|
File Description:
NW Tour Flights consists of 7 flights through Northwest Canada and Alaska. The flights begin in Juneau and continue to Fairbanks, Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Edmonton, Vancouver, B.C., Ketchikan and back to Juneau. You can fly them in any order you choose.
The Flight Plans (.PLN files) were developed using the FS2004 default 737-400, with clear weather. They use the autopilot from takeoff to landing. The speed, altitude, weather, radios and various other controls are the pilot’s responsibility. Most landings are IFR and all are under the control of the autopilot. The .FLT & .WX files were created with Real world weather (static) running. As a result, FLT 01 starts out in Juneau with the 737-400 in snowy weather and low clouds. You can take off in the snow OR change the weather to "Clear Skies or Fair Weather" to enjoy a scenic take off and climb out from Juneau. And when you return to Juneau from Ketchikan, your approach down the fiord will be a memorable flight.

| CYCD (2012) Version 3 for FS9, FSX and Prepar3D |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CYCD (2012) is an update to Ken Peter's CYCD Nanaimo-Collishaw Airport (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada). The airport has recently completed a major runway
extension and installed an ILS for Rwy 16. The five flashing-red beacons that guide the way on a night approach to Rwy 34 are included. To the extent possible, this update
reuses Ken's custom buildings and objects (but you don't need to have Ken's version installed). As well, a selection of SAMM-generated static aircraft are scattered around the
aprons supplemented by a number of AI aircraft that do touch 'n gos from time to time. CYCD (2012) is compatible with ORBX FTX USA Canada Pacific Northwest and both versions
of Ultimate Terrain.
Generally, this new version is visually identical to its predecessor - even though quite different internally. As well, to the extent possible, it is compatible with
Prepar3Dv2. (v3.03 fixes a vehicle texture issue in 3.02)

| AI Ships and AI Ship Traffic US West Coast |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This file includes 4 new ships to supplement the ships available in my package "63 AI Ships and AI Ship Traffic for Europe and South America".
It also includes traffic files for the West Coast of the United States mainly from San Francisco and Oakland to the Strait of Juan de Luca, Tacoma, Seattle, and the Canadian cities of Victoria and Vancouver. A few routes go further South to Long Beach and San Diego. The traffic files utilize the new ships available in this update as well as the ships available in "63 AI Ships and AI Ship Traffic for Europe and South America" which must therefore be installed prior to this update.
The new ships are two small bulk carriers "Sardius" and "Andre W" and two large geared bulk carriers "Senorita" and "Carmencita" all done in GMAX. All ships have navigation lights, simple animations like rotating radars, and custom wake and smoke effects.

| Port Hardy CYZT in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Port Hardy airport is on the coast of Vancouver Island in BC, at the far northern end and 5 miles east of the town. The town and the airport are both gateways to local touristic attractions such as Cape Scott Provincial Park, the North Coast and BC Marine Trails, and kayaking, caving, surfing, fishing, camping, and scuba diving (and I discovered just how big orca are). Fishing, logging, and mining have been important and to an extent still are for the town population of just over 4,000. The airport, along with the ferries, connects Port Hardy to the rest of the west coast with Pacific Coastal Saab 340 or Beechcraft 1900C flights to and from Vancouver at least twice a day. There are also Grumman Goose amphibious flights to local float bases such as Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Whaletown, Surge Narrows, Echo Bay, and Minstrel Island. These are all included in the AI and previously posted. There are three runways: 11-29 of 5,000 feet with ILS on 11 and righthand circuits on 29, 07-25 of 4,000 feet with righthand circuits on 25, and 16-34 with a much shortened 3,500 feet on 34 due to a displaced threshold. There is a control tower but it is not manned 24 hours a day; a "mandatory frequency" (MF for short and a Canadian invention) is used by the tower when it is manned, and when there is no tower response the aircraft continues to announce intentions and position. Something I have been meaning to explain to those who query it, is that in real life as well as in FS9 helicopters at a mixed use airport or airfield will act as if they are planes and join downwind, turn on base and then finals, "land" along the runway and then use the taxiway to the parking. This means all aircraft are doing the same thing and an orderly queue avoids collisions. This is one of a series connected in some way with Pacific Coastal airline destinations, the first being Bella Coola. There is AI available for Pacific Coastal online.

| Terrace CYXT in British Columbia, Canada - REVISED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version includes the correct Piper Cub texture, unreported by all but one downloader (why?).
Terrace is fifteen miles east and inland from Prince Rupert, which is 500 miles north of Vancouver up the BC coast. It is at the point in the mountains where two fjords meet, one coming from Prince Rupert and the other from Kitimat. The airport is a couple of miles south of the town and on the south side of the Skeene River. There are two runways, and the main one is a recently-extended 7,500 feet long and lighted 33/15. The second is 5,373 feet of unlit 03/21. The apron has been enlarged to be able to accommodate a Boeing 737 so I have parked an Air Canada jet there, but the pics show the planes that do fly to Terrace, and these are Air Canada and Hawk Air Dash 8-300's. The original aircraft and the textures are down-loadable and and can be used for AI.

File Description:
This version of Terrace has night textures that work, good news for the 319 downloaders who did not tell the author that the ones already posted did not work. Why? Terrace is fifteen miles east and inland from Prince Rupert, which is 500 miles north of Vancouver up the BC coast. It is at the point in the mountains where two fjords meet, one coming from Prince Rupert and the other from Kitimat. There are two runways, the main one is a recently-extended 7,500 feet long and lighted 33/15 and the second is 5,373 feet of unlit 03/21. The apron has been enlarged to be able to accomodate a Boeing 737; though I don't think there is an airline using a 737 for flights to Terrace I have parked an Air Canada jet and the pics show the planes that do fly to Terrace, Air Canada and Hawk Air Dash 8-300's. The aircraft and the textures are down-loadable and and can be used for AI.
