Hi, Mike Stevens has created a scenery for Frobisher Bay airport in 1962. It was used by Pan American and TWA as a fuel stop on their polar routes between California and Europe. You can download it at my Scenery Page: www.calclassic.com/scenery.htmNote that you need an updated version of the Classic Scenery Libraries File 2 to see all the buildings, and you need an updated AI Traffic file to see Pan Am or TWA land there. www.calclassic.com/Images/cyfb_62.jpgEnjoy, |

This is great, thank to all involved. Just last week I took a Canadian Pacific DC-6B to Frobisher Bay to refuel on the Vancouver-Edmonton-Amsterdam route. Now it would seem that the return trip is in the cards.

I have updated the link on my scenery page for the FS2004 Custom Scenery Library File 2 to version 2, which is required for the Frobisher scenery.
Hope this helps,

Tom, Like everybody else, I imagine, I always welcome additions to Mike's list of sceneries. However, there is something about which I am experiencing a degree of puzzlement. I attach a screenshot of Frobisher Bay on my system.  You will notice the trees. Google Earth and John's photos suggest there are no trees in the area, and your little preview of this scenery shows none. I have had the same experience with Keflavik - none in your preview but plenty on my system - and got rid of them by doing my own exclude file, because the Keflavik peninsula and indeed most of Iceland are bare of them. Are these sceneries based on the assumption that autogen has been turned off? Ken |

I have just the bare hills as per Tom's pic. But I am wondering what Traffic File I must have that has placed a HS.748 in the scenery.

Ken, I assume you have an addon land class package for the area? If so you would need to change the land class for the area or create an exclude file.
John, it sounds like you have a traffic file for a more recent time in your FS somewhere.

Ken,
The landclass in GE Pro is 53 Barren Tundra. No trees!

Thank you gentlemen. I have Ground Environment, which I think is just textures, not GEPro. I do have Ultimate Terrain Canada but am not aware that I have one covering Iceland. Exclude files are not difficult but I might be tempted to try LWM Viewer 2, which is also not difficult thanks to Tom's tutorial.
PS I opened Frobisher in LWM Viewer 2 and all the landclass shows as 53 Barren Tundra. Should this be excluding autogen trees and if so why is it not?

If you need to rework more than a small area LWM Viewer is indeed a nice solution.

Sorry, yes of course GE is textures and it was LWM2 I used for checking the landclass.

Ken, I don't have an answer to your "why trees with barren tundra" question, but I do have a clue.
Until now I've used Sidney Schwartz's 2010 version of CYFB, deleting the modern buildings. Mr Schwartz's original 2010 release is on Flightsim, and you'll find a number of related zips. Now I don't know why but his readme on Iqaluit CYFB 2010 FS9 Scenery V1.1 Patch has the following note.
"The autogen trees have been removed from the village area, as trees in Iqaluit are completely unrealistic. Unfortunately I didn't know a way to remove the trees without also removing the autogen houses, so those are gone to. The "town" landclass textures are still there."
So you're not alone.
Bill

Bill,
The same is true of Keflavik and I have got rid of trees in both by creating exclude files. Some time ago I installed a payware tree add-on and I am wondering whether it could be anything to do with that. Still it looks as though Schwartz had also to do what I have done, so perhaps my position is not unique. Like Schwartz I have lost the autogen houses but they could be replaced with proper scenery because the 'town landclass textures are still there'. I must have another look at John's photos. With FSGlobal 2010 I have also needed to make a flatten file for Frobisher. However, I did a flight from there to Goose Bay today in midwinter and it was a lot of fun. The next Von Pingel project, which is in fact far advanced, is a fairly significant reworking of Flight Ontario's Goose Bay. With that, Frobisher and Harmon that area is about to be rather well served,
Ken

There is no town/city landclass in the default, so you are definitely using a landclass addon that is probably doing most of this.
