    Description

    PAGY - Skagway Airport - Skagway Alaska

    Skagway airport is a modest sized airport on the outskirts of the city of Skagway Alaska.  Famous for it's role in the gold rush of 1898, it now sports a more modest population except for the summer when tourists make up the majority of people.  This airport has one runway (Runway 2-20) of 3550' in length and boasts a very sporty approach to runway 20 which has it's downing leg carried out over the mountainside.  The airport sees a fair amount of tourist flights (piston and helicopter) and cargo flights as well.  This is a VFR airport which has zero instrument approaches.

    My goal is to replace many objects with stock SDK objects to increase the realisim.  Some terraforming was done so there is now a drop off into the river as there is in real life.  I was able to vist this location a number of years ago and was facinated by the air traffic in the area.  Hopefully some realisim is added and you can enjoy the beautiful terrain as well!

    Some changes include:

    - Terraforming of the river and some ramp areas

    - Aprons were adjusted to fit real world photos

    - Taxiways were renamed and signs added where appropriate (should be close to real world locations)

    - Helipads added by the mouth of the river (including parking location so spawning on a helipad should be possible)

    -  Additiional parking added

    - Various sim objects added as well as a handful of stock aircraft

    - Objects added around the city (cruise ships, marina, and some rail cars in the vicintiy of the White Pass railroad)

    - Modest amount of night lighting added

    Installation:

    Extract the scenery to your community folder.

    Enjoy the scenery and as always, enjoy flying in Minnesota!  (I found a bunch of MN residents now living in Alaska.  I guess we like the outdoors and cool weather)

    I am getting some weird mesh issues around the ships. Almost like they are buried under the Epcot biuilding. Deleting the ships BG file didn't remove them. It's a shame, because other than that, this scenery is fantastic.

    Thanks for the heads up - I'll have to take a look. I haven't visited this airport for awhile so something may have changed. Thanks for the comment!

    Sorry - I don't have Orbx so I can't issue a fix at this time. Hopefully it is still useable.

    Great airport! 2things: half of the cars in the parking lot on the end of the pier are floating high off the ground. 2: is that a helicopter place at the end of the pier there?

    Thanks for letting me know. Floating cars aren't good, I'll have to fix that. Item 2, there shouldn't be he helicopter pad off the pier. All of the helipads should be on the ground. The pier should only be for access to the ships.

    Version History

    - Cruise ships are now defined as scenery objects instead of SimObjects. At some point over the last year the SimObject version of the default cruise ships started using the wave animation on the water surface. It doesn't make sense in this scenery the ships are docked at the pier and thus shouldn't give the illusion they are moving. As scenery objects, they are truly static in the water. If you don't care that the cruise ships are making wave animations, you don't need to update. No other objects were changed in this file.
