This scenery does come with one flight for FS2002 - Cessna 172 At Shrimper's Cove.FLT
This flight will also put you on the runway at Shrimper's Cove.
Shrimper's Cove is a fishing village west of Pascagoula Mississippi, just past the Ingall's Shipyard. It has a population of 100 year round residents.
Shrimper's Cove is located 8nm SE of Lott International Airport (KPQL) and 7 miles E of Ocean Springs Airport (5R2). There is one grass runway at 90/270, about 3000 feet long. There is a taxiway to the north of the runway. On the taxiway are a fuel area, two hangars and a warehouse. Pascagoula, Mississippi is the home of Ingall's Shipyard which opened in 1938 and continues to build ships for commercial and military clients. To the west of the airport is the village of Shrimper's Cove, where there is a large warehouse and a railyard. Seagulls and other birds can present an interesting obsticle to flights in the area. Three large shrimp trawlers can be seen, one of which is departing the docks. East of the village when departing runway 9, you can see the dock cranes of the Ingall's Shipyard. This scenery should work in FS2002, or FS2004 just fine! NDB - 500khz - Shrimper's Cove NDB (COV). Elevation 10 ft (3 m),Time zone Central (CST) (UTC-6). Avg. Temp-80'. Avg Rain-5.3"
The name Pascagoula, which means "bread eaters," is taken from a group of Native Americans found in villages along the Pascagoula River some distance above its mouth. Hernando De Soto seems to have made first contact with them in the 1540s, though little is known of that encounter. Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, founder of the colony of Louisiana, left a more detailed account from an expedition of this region in 1700. The first detailed account comes from Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, younger brother of Iberville, whom the Pascagoula visited at Fort Maurepas in present-day Ocean Springs, shortly after it was settled and while the older brother was away in France. There are few details that are certain about these peoples, except that their language seemed not to have shared an etymological root with the larger native groups to the north, the Choctaw particularly. Instead, their language seems more akin to that of the Biloxi or Natchez people, both of whom have been linked in this way to the Sioux, Crow, and Ho-Chunk. The territory of the Biloxi peoples seems to have ranged from the areas of what are now called Biloxi Bay to Bayou La Batre (Alabama) and twenty-five miles up the Pascagoula River, and then the Pascagoula people's territory seems to have ranged between some distance north of there to the confluence of the Leaf and Chickasawhay rivers. The first settlers of Pascagoula were Jean Baptiste Baudreau Dit Graveline, Joseph Simon De La Pointe and his aunt, the Madame Chaumont. Local legend says the Pascagoula tribe chanted and waded hand-in-hand into the Pascagoula River, drowning together rather than become enslaved and killed to an enemy tribe, the Biloxi. Thus, the legend of the "Singing River" was born. It is said that on still summer and autumn evenings, the sad song of the Pascagoulas can still be heard near the river.
