Thanks for downloading this scenery. I'm sure you'll find it quite challengeing as you can see (look at the README.1st.htm file), this defualt FS2000 airfield is placed into a giant hole in the earth. Wow, kinda makes ya feel like your "LANDING IN A BUCKET"
While flying over these mountains the other day, I noticed this airfield setting all alone so I decided to add the lake,trees,animals,homes,hangers, and everything except the gravel airfield and its ground texture. This scenery isn't at all accurate as I didn't and don't have any real pictures to go by. I did however go to Airnav and found all the info I could. According to their report, West Papoose Lake Airpark is closed during the spring thaw cause the ground is soft and unusable.
Also, while createing this scenery, I flew a DHC-2 Beaver (and not the turbo model) from this airfield and pretended to be fully loaded. I tell ya what, it took 3 complete circles to clime out of this bucket at 200 feet per second clime rate. Hopefully, you won't get as dizzy as I did. "PLEASE ENJOY"
Please go to: http://www.airnav.com/airport/44AK on the world wide web. There, you'll find all the info on the real West Papoose Lake Airport. And shame on me for createing this scenery at a real life airport, while not even knowing what the place really looks like. Really, I'm hopeing someone could e-mail me with a real airial photograph (kinda close please) and I'll try my best to rebuild this scenery. Untill then, it isn't my intent to offend anyone who lives near this real Alaskan area. So please accept my apology and in my own defense, all I can say is "I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF"--" I JUST HAD TO DO IT" :)
A Big thanks to Brian McWilliams and the entire Flight Sim Group for creating the Scenery
design program Airport 210 which I used to create this scenery. The APT210 program is a
freeware program and is really quite easy to use. Please go to the Flightsimgroup home page
at: http://www.flightsimgroup.com/ and check it out.
And another thanks goes to Mark Remien. With his Animal Macros, I was able to add the
Wildlife and camp fires around the Lake. "Thanks Mark"
Again, I find myself using those great scenery Macros made by Dan Geis. Please visit Dan's web site at: http://members.aol.com/dgeis23328/index.htm There you'll find Dan's scenery designs and aircraft and of course, his scenery Macro's. ("Five Sets of excellent Macros")
Also, Fred Banting, not only is his aircraft my favorite for flying the Bush scenery, it's also the same aircraft I used as static aircraft. Thanks again Fred.
