NOTES
- FS2024 release starting from release 27MAR26 is designed to be used with Bijan’s Seasons Enhanced 2024 (payware) and default Bing aerials.
Warning: If you don’t have BSE installed, you won’t have particularly pleasant times. However:
- A crude version with cleared approach sectors is available with the said update, to be used with non-Bijan trees.
download section says "FS24: Alternate & crude Non-Bijan version v11SEP25" Managing files is quite messy on this site.
- Version 11SEP25 remains available until further notice.
- Nature & human action seem to take their toll on this area. Updated aerial image as the Homathko River has made its way onto the strip. Also, buildings from the village have vanished in latest images. I remember this as the 1st bush field I got into, so I try to preserve the area. Updated ZL19 aerial image in September 2025.
- FS24 introduced a bug in SU4 which causes spawns to be offset to defined parking location. This may be fixed in SU5.
- I haven’t added a water runway as is messes with nearby terrain work.
- Color matching custom FS20 and FS24 was particularly difficult and not perfect in SEP25.
- Tested otherwise with default aerial imagery.
- Tested with 75% scale REX Accuseason trees. Preferably Bijan and by last resort, default trees in FS24.
- Added a real building at Claw Peak. FS24 version has a custom hut and better area in general. In FS20, this piece of scenery is a placeholder (not worked too much on). The building model is from 3rd party library. Aerial imagery has improved on this area since initial release and, now this feature is feasible.
- Petrolia/Butler Airfield Airport has currently the old CBA7 identifier in real life. CBA7 is still assigned to Scar Creek in MSFS by default.
- POI spellings as seen in Google Earth.
- Public information is scarce and supplied details may lead to updates. For example, an old Canada Flight Supplement could be handy (for other CAN strips as well).
- In case of discrepancies regarding this document, other sources are primary (file description etc).

- check download location for latest recommended prequisites and instructions
- (always remove old scenery package from the Community-folder, if installed previously)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Scar Creek Airport (TC LID: CBA7) was a small general aviation airport located near Scar Creek, British Columbia BC, Canada. Royal BC Air Force operated a weekly public route service between Comox and Prince George that stopped here in both directions. The airport was listed as abandoned in the 15 March 2007 Canada Flight Supplement.
Scar Creek is an unincorporated Post Office settlement in central British Columbia, within the Tsilhqot′in Nation Indigenous Administrative District. A dirt road connects the settlement to Tatlayoko Lake, but this is only passable in the summer months. source1 source 2

Can you reproduce the crash by spawning at the airport directly? Any stutters or weirdness before the CTD?
23 days ago
Your question: No, when spawning direct at the airport it worked.
BTW, my environment might have changed meanwhile as SWS had updated the Kodiak before leveling it up to be fully compatible to MSFS2024. I can't really recall which version was in use.

Results will matter in development time, quantity and quality.

The scenery is well done now. Thanks for doing the corrections at Scar Creek.
Oh, I saw the moose crossing the runway.

I like your scenery, but my sim had a CTD after landing and while turning around after taxiing for no recognizable reasons (it wasn't the crossing wildlife).
EDIT: Forgot to write: MSFS2024 is in use.
