Welcome to the GSS' Tongass Fjords project

The package has its spiritual roots at the legendary Tongass Fjords X (TFX) addon package. My releases currently consist of

• this CBW4 package
• Galore Valley airstrip, Galore Creek
• Cirque airstrip, Galore Creek
• Bronson Creek airstrip
• Johnny Mountain airstrip

FEATURES

• Runway is sided with ditches, drop-offs, mounds and other dangerous countours.
• Elevation 1,952 feet, gravel runway 4,251 x 128 feet (1296 x 38 meters)
• 2 helicopter starting locations, on wooden pad and gravel

  • pad is the Northern one

• water starting location on the Lake
• This is some sort of base for supporting mining operations in real life.
• Located in Kitimat-Stikine district, British Columbia, Canada. Water features close by are the Iskut and Ningunsaw rivers and the namesake lake.
• Designed to work with my Galore Creek airstrip sceneries (XGS02+XGS03), which are about 41NM to North West as the swan flies.
• Low & High altitude Flight Plans are included
• Custom aerial image and models.
• Moose are known to wander around in the area.
• Landmark POIs.
• Easter eggs.
• Readme.

NOTES

• Designed to be used with Bijan Seasons Enhanced 2024 (payware) and default Bing aerials.

  • Warning: If you don’t have BSE installed, you won’t have the intended experience. However:

  • A crude version is available with the v1.1 release, to be used with non-Bijan vegetation. There may be side-effects.
• Flight Plans were made with Little Navmap & it’s offline elevation model.

  • First has a more wandering route along valleys and rivers, altitude ~6500.

  • Latter is more direct, altitude ~8000.
• Sim’s helicopter starting locations’ numbers ordering’s logic is beyond me.
• Default aerial images have room for improment to put it nicely. I made a custom ZL20 aerial image for airport area, which works in FS20. A bug exists in FS24, where the terrain clips though the background image (SU3 1.5.27 SDK 1.4.5). Flightsim.to limits my upload size to 100 MB, so I’ve had to limit the resolution and coverage area.

  • Color Matching was done in FS20, differences are likely is FS24. 

• In this project I’ve increased my own model production.
• FS24 light source editing/exporting in Blender is bugged and they don’t show up as designed.
• Designed mainly in FS20. Twiddling has been done in MSFS 2024, let me know if you spot bugs.
• Aerodome’s and highways elevation differences are larger IRL, but I couldn’t get my mesh tools to work.
• If AI traffic spawns at parking locations, lower their density as desired.
• Close together objects may clip some times, because they don’t spawn exactly as set in editor.
• FS24 polygons arent exact between editor & sim, so overlap may occur.
• Supplied details regarding the area may lead to updates.
• In case of discrepancies regarding this document, this site is the primary source.
