Pacific Ranges Photoscenery - Bella Coola

By olexia

The scenery updates the 1x1 degree tile around Bella Coola, British Columbia with high resolution terrain mesh, coastlines, rivers and lakes. It updates the southern half of the tile with medium resolution orthophoto textures, and adds a new airfield, CBJ5 Taleomey River.
A good introductory flight is to take off east from Bella Coola, turn south and fly to CBJ5 Taleomey River Airfield. Both approaches to the airfield are difficult, the one from the east much more so.
The scenery is the first in a series stretching from Bella Coola, British Columbia, to Vancouver, British Columbia.
The sceneries available at x-plane.org and x-pilot.com are
1. Pacific Ranges- Bella Coola
2. Pacific Ranges- Machmell River
See attached index map for scenery locations.
The scenery has been successfully tested with X-Plane 9.70, X-Plane 10 Demo, and Inside Passage scenery.

EGSC - Cambridge

By sichars1968

This is EGSC - Cambridge Airport to the north-east of London, near to Stansted, created with the XP10 Lego bricks.
It is a an airport with a small passenger terminal, and can handle passenger flights with aircraft of the size of Airbus A321/Boeing 757. It can accommodate hangarage for aircraft to the size of B747. There is a modern FBO for corporate customers and an abundant GA presence.
I have concentrated on the airport itself to start, and will try to add more clutter and improve surrounding scenery as time/other projects allow.

X-Plane Version 9 User's Notice:
This is an X-Plane 9 compatible build of our XP10 scenery. In this version we tried to replace as many XP10 specific buildings as possible with XP9 or OpensceneryX objects. However, there are quite a few buildings missing from this version than the original XP10 enhanced version.

Do not change the name of the directory. This prevent conflicts with the Greater Auckland 2.0 scenery, which has it's own (limited) version of NZCH.
Requirements:
1. This is an X-Plane 9 build of this scenery. it will work in XP9 or XP10, but has no XP10 specific features, facades, buildings, or lighting.
2. It is suggested that if you do have XP10, you download and use the XP10 version (link provided above)
2. Requires a Video Card with 1GB of VRAM if you want to use at 'extreme resolution' (which you do, for best quality).

Known bugs / stuff left to do:
1. There's a small piece of scenery missing near the runway approach lighting to RWY 02.
- The reason is that was never part of the original aerial photography set by LINZ.
- I'll search for a suitable replacement for that small corner (other LINZ data perhaps)
2. There's a cloud shadow near the threshold of RWY 02. It's not a show-stopper though.
3. Hedgerows need to be adjusted with new textures and adjust tree shapes/sizes to make it look more like hedgerows.
4. There's a seam just north of the Aeroclub in-between two of the orthophotos. It does not show up in WED, though... looking for the cause.

NZCH Christchurch Area Photo Scenery (XP9/XP10) ISDG

NZCH Christchurch Area Photo Scenery v1.0
March 07, 2012 - By Chris K
Copyright:
The Christchurch Area Photo Imagery is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand License with Crown copyright reserved. Please read the LICENSE.RTF for further information
Scenery Credits:
- Orthophotos courtesy of Land Information New Zealand, used under license. (http://www.linz.govt.nz/topography)
Installation:
- Copy this entire directory into your "X-Plane/Custom Scenery/" folder. That's it.
- Leave the name as "_NZCH_Christchurch_Area_Photo_Scenery" so that it loads at the correct priority relative to our other NZCH packages
Complimentary Packages:
This scenery is designed to be used in concert with the following packages:
NZCH Christchurch Airport Photo Scenery
NZCH Christchurch OSM2XP Building Enhancement
Requirements:
1. Requires a Video Card with 1GB of VRAM if you want to use at 'extreme resolution'
2. Requires a Video Card with 512 Mb RAM if you want to use at 'very high'
3. Texture Compression is optional as the files are already DDS compressed.
Conflicts:
Tested in XP10, but should work with no issues in XP9 as it's only photo polys, an airport definition (NZWG), and some forest exclusion zones.
Let me know if you do find any conflicts. (Private Message Me! Don't leave them in the comments below)
Known bugs / Stuff left to do:
Still got some white edging showing up very small on some northwest tiles
- Some type of graphic artifact with the DDS conversion, even though Ive clipped the edges away. I'll investigate further.
There were some brightness differences in the original LINZ orthophotography. Easy to see from far away.
- Will try to smooth out the transitions and/or change the brightness/contrast of certain parts of the imagery for better consistency.
The Orthos are not cut to line up with roads/landmarks, so it's easy to see where X-Plane scenery ends and the ortho begins.
- will cut along a roadway line or other natural landmark in a later release, so that the transition isn't so stark.
X-Plane 10 completely missed the Waimakariri River in the underlying scenery (.DSF) generation. (The big wide river north of NZCH)
- Although I alpha the river away to show the underlying water of the river, XP10 doesn't have any water there.
Misc:
This was completely done in WED v1.1rc1 for MacOSX

Biddeford Municipal - B19

By briangodwin

Biddeford Municipal Airport. This version is XP10 only. I am trying to reverse engineer my own work for a version for XP9.
A glitch has been reported about the runway heading. Although the heading for 06 (and conversely 24) is set for 55.90, in cockpit instruments display 72. I am submitting a bug report for this.

EGNM

By Countdown

Leeds Bradford - EGNM
You will need opensceneryx2, and FF_LIBRARY to take advantage of all of the scenery additions.
I took an old MSFS conversion done by Mr 3D and totally reworked it to bring it into the V10.20B5 world. It is my local airport and has changed significantly from the one Mr 3D converted years ago. The Baron is my inspiration, as he takes little known and underloved airports and brings them into the 21 century.
I like lots of lighting effects, but in this conversion I tried to keep to what is actually there, so I spend weeks tweaking the airport with google maps and microsoft bing maps as my guide.
Hope you like the airport. All my own work, and done with Mr 3D's blessing.

KTRI Tri Cities Regional TN/VA

By nascar99

KTRI Tri Cities Regional Airport Tenesse/Virginia Servicing Bristol TN/VA, Johnson City TN, and Kingsport TN.
This scenery is only for X-Plane 10.
This scenery uses library objects and facades.
This uses the default apt.dat so I didn't tinker any ILS glide slopes or the airport layout.
Thank You to Kyle Sanders for providing charts for the Airport.
COMING NEXT IN VERSION 2.0
Possibly a detailed model of the Terminal from the Google 3D Warehouse if I can figure out how to export it from Google Sketchup to X-Plane with textures.

WICK EGPC

By Countdown

THIS AIRPORT IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF X-PLANE USER "IANG"
Lover of Scotland, Ian G produced many fun airports of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, where his wife assures me he is flying now
Happy flying Ian
Wick
Alternative Name(s)
RAF WICK; WICK AIRFIELD; HILLHEAD FARM; HIGHLAND WICK AIRPORT
County
CAITHNESS
Parish
WICK
Council
HIGHLAND
Latitude, Longitude
58.456456N, 3.097271W
Notes
RAF Wick was built on land adjoining the pre-war airstrip at Hillhead Farm. Tarmac runways were added at the beginning of the war along with wooden control tower and four 'C1' hangars. The tower survives as do two of the hangars, which in the 1980s were being used for storage. Many of the buildings in the technical area still survive in a derelict condition.
This World War II airfield is situated N of Wick and E of the A9 trunk road. Many buildings are still extant, but most of those now outside the present airport perimeter fence have been demolished. The two remaining 'C1' type hangars are still in use, but for entirely different purposes. The furthest W is in use by Highland Council to provide hangarage for light aircraft repair and storage. This hangar has been modified, as the main doors at the NE end are no longer extant and have been replaced by corrugated iron sheeting. The doors at the SW end no longer open fully and the steel entension gantry that formerly supprted the tracking for the doors has also been removed. Most of the former window openings have recently been covered with metal sheeting. Apart from the above, the hangar is regularly maintained and apprently the intention is continue this for many years into the future.The other hangar (to the NE) is in use for agricultural purposes and though not well maintained is in nearly original condition.
The original control tower is still used for light aircraft movements and is one of the few remaining in Scotland of wooden construction. Several of the perimeter pillboxes also survive along with the bomb store which includes huts for storing torpedos. Few of the buildings in the former technical area survive, those that do are in use for purposes other than for the airfield. Many of the taxiways can still be discerned in the perimeter areas and more recently a Pickett Hamilton turret has been extracted from the runway area after being found by the large grass mowers. The airfield is now the civilian Highland Wick Airport.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The airport I have created for your pleasure is 95% accurate. The remaining 5% is an attempt to make the scenery fun to fly around. You will not find in real life Hungry Jacks, Pizza Express or McDonalds - although TESCO is there along with large car park faithfully reproduced. The type C hangers are there but nowhere near as well looked after as those in my scenery. The houses and hangers in this scenery were chosen for their uncanny similarity to those actually in-situ, and having lived just 20 miles from Wick, I can confirm the containers ships and ferry are regular visitors to this area. This scenery is loaded with details, and subsequently takes a hit on your frame rates. I RECOMMEND you reduce your resolution HIGH and work your way up depending on your machine, but you must select EXTREME for airport objects otherwise you will miss out on masses of details and animations as well.
Then again - it is up to you, after all this is just an airport (or is it?).
Have fun.
Happy flying

The main hanger, service hanger, covered apron and terminal were all hand-drawn using Google Sketchup and some photos. The remainder of the objects are X-plane 10 standard library and OpenSceneryX library objects.This is the first in a series I will release aptly-named Minor Airports of Central Texas which will also feature KGTU (Georgetown), KHYI (San Marcos Municipal Airport), and T86 (Gillespie County Airport, featuring the hanger hotel, a popular getaway for puddle jumpers).This is the new Austin Executive Airport, located next to the CWK VOR. It is a private endeavor which was opened as a releaver for Austin Bergstrom.I've personally never been there - I've constructed the airport from photos and satellite photography. If any RW pilots have been there, or go there, please send me some photos so I can make improvements.I hope you enjoy it. See you on Vatsim.

Gillespie County Airport

By jagipson

T82
Gillespie County Airport, Gillespie County Texas (Hill Country Region)
* OpenSceneryX strongly recommended
Original taxiway and apron from satellite images.
Featuring these original objects:
Hangar Hotel
Airport Diner
WWII searchlight
Vintage Billboard
Antique Watertower
Dog-run style terminal and administration buildings

Also features a modified airport beacon (combining two library objects).
Several other objects from OpenScenery and the standard X-plane libraries have also been set.
This is a pilots' favorite, drawn from memory (with the help of several photos).
This scenery has been developed and tested in X-Plane 10, buy similar scenery that I've created has been reported to work in latter versions of X-Plane 9.
NOTE REGARDING THE TERRAIN:

The alternative HD Mesh for this area greatly improves the experience, and even makes the Hill Country area look like The Hill Country. It's a distinctly separate add-on from this one, but highly recommended as it fixes other geological issues. Prior to installing this, I had to use GPS to pick out Enchanted Rock. With this add-on, the distinctive volcanic skeleton is visually identifiable. A special thanks to Andras for preparing this. It has made VFR flying in Central Texas worthwhile.

Aerobridge-Meigs Field

By Peter T.

KCGX is now available for v9 and v10.
Aerobridge Studios-Meigs Field
Developed and designed by : Peter Tram, John Spahn, Juan Menedez
Manual : Peter Tram
Photography: Online resources
Version 2.0
Merrill C. Meigs Field Airport (IATA: CGX, ICAO: KCGX) was a single strip airport that operated from December 1948 until March 2003. It was built on Northerly Island, the man-made peninsula that was also the site of the 1933–1934 Century of Progress in Chicago. The airport achieved international notoriety when Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley ordered city crews to bulldoze the runway at night, and without the 30-day advance warning required by FAA regulations.

Sumburgh Airport - Shetlands

By Countdown

Welcome to Sumburgh Airport
Sumburgh Airport (IATA: LSI, ICAO: EGPB) is the main airport serving Shetland in Scotland. It is located on the southern tip of the mainland, 17 NM (31 km; 20 mi) south of Lerwick.[1] The airport is owned by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) and served by Loganair (under franchise to FlyBe) as well as sometimes seasonally by Atlantic Airways.
The airport is unusual in that it has a 550 m (1,804 ft) helicopter runway as opposed to usual helipad. The western end of runway 09 crosses the A970 road between Sumburgh and the northern mainland; access is controlled by a level crossing with barriers lowered whenever a flight is taking off or landing.
Sumburgh Links was surveyed and the grass strips laid out by Capt. E. E. Fresson in 1936: the Airport was opened on June 3 of that year with the inaugural flight from Aberdeen (Kintore) by the De Havilland Dragon Rapide G-ACPN piloted by Fresson himself. It was also one of the first airfields to have RDF facilities due to the frequency of low cloud and fog coupled with the proximity of Sumburgh Head. The building of runways was at the instigation of Capt. Fresson who had proved to the Navy at Hatson that to maintain all round landing facilities over the winter months runways were essential. This was taken up by the RAF after the obvious success of the Hatson (Orkney) experiment.
The former RAF Sumburgh airfield had two runways, the longest being 800 yd (730 m), and the shorter running a length of 600 yd (550 m) from shore-line to shore-line. No. 404 Squadron operated Beaufighter Mark VI and X aircraft from this station on coastal raids against Axis shipping off the coast of Norway and in the North Sea.
On 1 April 1995, ownership of the Company transferred from the UK Civil Aviation Authority to the Secretary of State for Scotland and subsequently to the Scottish Ministers.
Shetland is the home of otters, puffins & Shetland ponies.
Sumburgh airport is the main airport serving Shetland and is situated approximately 25 miles south from the main town/port of Lerwick. The airport provides air links to Scotland's major cities, Orkney and Norway.
Shetland is known for its distinctiveness and culture which is unlike that of anywhere else. Its roots lie deep in Viking with islands littered with Old Norse names and remains. It is a haven for birds being home to more than one million during the seasons. The Islands are also famous for great walking, cycling and touring, whale watching - Shetland Ponies and Fair Isle Knitwear to name but a few!
Opening Hours
Monday to Friday
06.30 - 20.30
Saturday
07.15 - 16.30
Sunday
10.15 - 20.30
Ok - So why did I give you the opening times - well because I search fairly extensively for night flight landings and found none, but then I realised that Shetland gets dark very early in winter - so next time you fly into Sumburgh in the dark - make a video!
I need to thank some people
Marginal - as ever I would be lost without your overlay editor, and other invaluable tools.
I started with World Editor, so thanks to Ben at the org for allowing us to use this package.
The Baron will always get a mention - he was my inspiration and got me back into designing, so thanks to him.
VERY IMPORTANTLY - a huge thanks to Iain Murray of Scotflight. He allowed me to use his Sumburgh terminal obj, with lit textures. The guy was so helpful he even offered to make me a mini Sumburgh scenery. FSX designers are great people.
Lastly - my wife whose patience knows no limits, supplier of tea and sympathy!
YOU WILL NEED
opensceneryx latest version.
turn up our airport detail settings to extreme for best results
not tried it in v8 but am almost sure it won't work there.
ALL MY OWN WORK - apart from the terminal obj.

C77 Poplar Grove Illinois Photoreal

C77 Poplar Grove Photoreal
Version 1.0, Jan 04, 2013
By: Chris K and the ISDG Group
This scenery was made in request from a user named Becky Lynn, who is a new XP10 user (but not new to flying!) who was very surprised that nobody had taken this cute fly-in / live-in residential airport and updated it's taxiways since the beginning of time.
I was about to walk through a quick learn tutorial with WED, but since this was a one-off, I decided to quickly update the taxiways myself. Since I had WED open anyways, I also decided to give it the "Photo Underlay" Treatment and spruce it up with some standard XP10 library objects at the same time. (Hangars, FBOs, etc.)
Took about 2 hours to get done.
Nothing fancy.
Enjoy!
