In answer to the first question. Yes I have been at the seaplane base in downtown Juneau. In fact the flight to the airport shown took off from there but the photo is not Juneau. I'll give everyone another day and then I have another photo that may help.

Closer but not right yet.
Paulk - Not Harbour Air and not BC.

Has an Alaska look to it? but no idea
Correct. Also is in P3D if that helps.

OK try this one. Not a custom airport but in one of the scenery packages:

Very Easy since I live about 4 miles west of Runway 29 ( the diagonal one in the picture). The Parallel runway (17R-35L) just below the terminal is now being refurbished and is under construction for the next 2 years so we are getting more traffic where I live as they use the diagonal runway when one of the 2 parallel runways is out of service. The runway at the top is the longest in Canada at 14000 ft.

Try the west coast from Washington up to Alaska. Not a lot of airports in some areas but the scenery is great and navigation very interesting through the fjords.

My parents especially my mother as my dad died young. Since my interest in flight simulation 2 gentlemen who led me in the right direction in airport design and took the time to make my projects better - Al Gay from Flight Ontario and Neil Hill. Unfortunately both are no longer with us but I still hear them when I am designing an airport.

When flying the 737 my favorite is CYLW Kelowna. Great RNP approaches and departures in a narrow valley. When flying a Mooney VFR it is hard to pick there are so many choices.

If your airport is above the FTX Global Airports on the scenery list it should not need the Global airports to be disabled. If you find you need to there are 3 files for each airport:
ADE_FTX_FTXG_Name.bgl
ADE_FTX_FTXG_Name_CVX.bgl and
FTX_FTXG_Name_objects.bgl
Rename the files with an off instead of bgl and this will disable the airport.
If you need to re-enable them change it back to bgl.

P.S. some smaller airports don't have the object file.

I like detailed exteriors (Where we operate our aircraft). Correct runways, taxiways, and parking are essential if using real world charts. Some variation in the runway and taxiway surfaces also adds interest. Some clutter helps the illusion of reality but it does not need to be overdone. Building interiors are not necessary and often lead to performance problems. Of course it is impossible to keep up with all the changes at real world airports but most are reasonably close if recently done. I usually fly jets so correct gate parking is important.

There are often multiple files for each airport. The CVX includes exclusions of existing airport and landclass and elevation data and the other file includes the airport data itself. Sometimes there is an additonal file with buildings and other scenery objects, so the files look OK to me.

During University I worked surveying in the summer. After graduation I ended up working surveying for several engineering companies for about 8 years. I was laid off because of a recession and started working as a courier. I did this for 23 years including about 3 as an air courier where I flew between Calgary and Edmonton every weekday. I also worked in the warehouse loading semi trailers at night. I retired but worked part time as a travel insurance agent. I also did some scenery work for Orbx during this time. Now back to being retired which gives me more time for flight simulation.

It's been a while but I like the Tiger Moth. Very aerobatic considering the low power and the lack of brakes takes some getting used to.

Tried Central today and it seems OK now. They must have fixed it.

I usually fly the I Fly 737 700, most commonly CYYC to CYVR. I also occasionally fly to Europe with a fuel stop in CYFB. Also slowly covering all the Westjet routes from YYC.

Just returned from Alaska and we saw porpoises, whales, sunfish, sharks, salmon, and lots of eagles. Near where we live there are deer, coyotes, moose, elk, porcupines and bobcats.

I don't usually look at info for places I have flown to but often fly routes I am going to take on vacation. This includes actual airline routes to our destination and since we cruise a lot I fly the cruise line route low and slow usually both before and after our trip.

I spent a lovely hour in Langley on Friday - on the freeway heading for Vancouver. We went to a wedding so did drink lots of liquids on Saturday.

It's been hot here (high 20C to low 30C) and sometimes smoky.
Lots of thunderstorms the last couple of weeks.

I moved my hard drive with the Orbx library to the new computer and worked fine. After installing Central it seemed to find most of the files without doing anything. A coupled needed to be verified but it works great now.

About 40 miles west the front ranges of the Rockies stretch of in both directions as far as you can see. Never get tired of that view.

In addition to VFR and IFR I sometimes fly FFR (Feline Flying Conditions) Where the outside view is obscured by the cat (Thanks Hunter).
