DOUGLAS-CHARLES & CANEFIELD AIRPORTS UPDATED SCENERY PROJECT

[WORK IN PROGRESS]

DESCRIPTION:

This is a custom scenery update to the airports on the island of Dominica. It is located South of Guadeloupe, North-West of Martinique. Formerly known as Melville Hall International (TDPD), Douglas-Charles located on the East side of the island, is also well known as the airport with a challenging landing going into runway 09 due to the high mountainous terrain approach. At night, Runway 27 is Highly recommended and NOT Runway 09 which is why it's also known as one of the most interesting yet scenic and challlenging airports to land on. Canefield Airport (TDCF) is no exception to this as the small airport is on the West side of the island and due to the placement of the runway, pilots will almost always experience cross wind landings beacause of the near hilly terrain. Only skilled pilots are allowed to land on Runway 19. Runway 01 is either prohibited or rarely used for landing. For me, these two were fun airports to re-create in the sim :)

INSTALLATION:

Open and extract ''lexpro-dominica-updated-scenery-project-v1.0.zip'' (or the version name you choose to download) to your prefered location on your PC, then unZip and open the folder and copy both "Canefield Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" and "Douglas-Charles Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" folders into where your Community folder is located, then start the sim and go to TDPD Melville Hall International (still has the old name) or Canefield International. That's it!

Each time I upload an updated version here, just replace the same "Douglas-Charles Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" folder or "Canefield Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" folder in your Community folder to update the scenery. Make back ups to the old folders if necessary.

(Please note, when choosing a parking space for departure, don't choose any single digit parking spaces numbered by themselves. Those are for the service vehicles to drive to if you have them enabled in your settings. You will be spawned in locations not meant for Airplanes. This is also a work in progress as I want to find a way to stop these vehicles from annoyingly park in your parking space!)

DETAILED UPDATED FEATURES TO DEFAULT SCENERY (V1.0) - TDPD:

- Started from scratch and deleted everything except the default terminal building.

- Stratigically placed very specific scenery objects from the sim library around the default building to try match the design structure IRL. [work in progress]

- Made some corrections to the surrounding terrain of the Airport

- Added runway/lights, PAPI lights (by Runway 27 only like IRL), aprons, taxi lights, taxi ways, ''wear n' tear'' textures and ground markings.

- Corrected location of Windsocks

- Added a light above the Windsocks

- Added the control tower with a beacon light [Had to use another default tower that had a built-in beacon attached and inserted it inside this one as the one I added from the sim was not showing for some reason?]

- Added Airport lights around the airport to give it some life at night.

- Added extra lighting under the Airport terminal roofing that was added. [work in progress]

- Added static aircraft\service vehicles with some animated Marshalls\Workers surrounding them.

- Randomly placed Marshalls/Workers and other animated people around the Airport in general.

- Added barbwire fencing around entire Airport

- Added the concrete wall border at the end of Runway 27 thats supposed to prevent the sea waves from coming over and flooding the road and the airport IRL

- Added many more trees/plants/grass, auto-gen trees in general areas close to and surrounding the Airport. [Tried to replicate Dominica's large palm/coconut trees :)

- Added solar panel street lights to light up the roads close by and along the Southern, Eastern and Northern side of the runway as well as a few in front the terminal.

- Added the corrrect approach lights behind runway 27 for night landings

Added an animated flag where actual Dominican flag is supposed to be [May not be too accurate]

- Added the parking lot with vehicles to the West of the terminal building as well as other scattered scenery objects around the airport in general.

DETAILED UPDATED FEATURES TO DEFAULT SCENERY (V1.0) - TDCF [COMPLETED AFTER V1.5 UPDATE] :

- Started from scratch and deleted everything except the default terminal building.

- Stratigically placed very specific scenery objects from the sim library around the default building to try and match the design structure IRL

- Made some slight corrections to the surrounding terrain of the Airport

- Added runway/lights, aprons, taxi lights, taxi ways, textures and ground markings

- Corrected location of Windsock and added a light above it

- Added the control tower with a beacon light on top of terminal building like it is IRL

- Added extra lighting under the Airport terminal roofing that was added [work in progress]

- Added grass patches in front the terminal building

- Randomly placed a few Marshalls and other animated people around the Airport in general.

- Added barbwire fencing half way around the Airport [work in progress]

- Added some scenery objects/details/markings to the runway (work in progress)

Thats all for now. More to come in every version update. Do enjoy this on going project which takes a great deal of time and effort. Feel free to leave any comments after you've flown around. Have fun flying and see you in the Sim world :)

Nice work was a joy to fly between the two, however the beacon at TDPD the light is inside the tower instead of on the roof.

lexuz2020 2 month(s) ago

Thanks. I do realise the beacon changes from time to time. That might be the Sim itself...but i'll try a work-around in next update.

linuxmonster 2 month(s) ago

I look forward to an update, will make another video when it does, just a suggestion though wait till after SU10 drops near end of the month. Who knows what they will change in SU10 and be a shame to have to update your work twice

lexuz2020 2 month(s) ago

Noted. One of the reasons for hurrying up these updates to these sceneries and getting them out of the way.

Looks great. Only wish there were some custom buildings instead of the default stuff to really make it feel like beeing there.

Nice scenery.. (Nice work). But would recommend that you package these airports as separate downloads: (Much easier to manage for both the designer and the end user)..
IE:
Dominica TDCF Canefield Airport v1.1 and a separate download IE:
Dominica TDPD Douglas-Charles Airport v1.1

Nbrich1

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Thank you. I actually do plan to upload airports separately but when it comes to countries with more than one, I do it as a Combo or a pack. When I update them, the only file that will be updated will be the one that pops up when you click on the download. So you'll see THAT file only. What the user will do is just copy that folder and paste it in their community folder to replace with the updated one. It just happens that this update affected both airports so I did it as one Download. That's the plan going forward but if it doesn't work out that way, I'll just separate them.

St.Kitts and Nevis is one Federation so that's why it's in a combo pack. Hope that makes any sense. 🙂

great work as usual bro. I can't select runway 27 though

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Thanks bro. Lol...I deliberately did that because IRL you're only allowed to take off at runway 09 due to the high terrains and at night only allowed to land at runway 27. 🙂 For those who want to have fun will just ignore ATC an take off anyway 😄

Fantastic scenery! Great work! I have a problem with the road textures, they show up as a white and gray checkered surface. Nothing like in your screenshots. What am I missing?

deadkennedy 1 year(s) ago

Same thing here ...

Wow..😲...I thought I was using a texture that everybody should have in the sim library by now. Thanks for sharing this. I will have to check it and choose another texture and update it. I try to use anything marked "Asobo" in brackets to make sure everyone can see things I put in.

This unfortunately is what's going to happen when not everyone has the same version of FS2020. I'm using one of the higher Deluxe versions.

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Performer09, Send me a pic. When you say road textures are you referring to the apron the planes drive on or the actual roads the cars and trucks drive on around the airport? I'll have to back check to see if there is a default texture I can use and update to another version to correct this. Thanks for notifying me.

Performer09 1 year(s) ago

It's the apron and the road around the airport texture exactly like in deadkenedy's screenshots. I also own the highest deluxe FS2020, the texture must come from another airport you must have (maybe payware since it is so nice!) By the way, I gave a 4 star only because of the missing texture, your scenery is clearly a 5 star!

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Lol... understood and no hard feelings man. I found the issue.....it definitely is from another airport. It had "Caribbean" in brackets and I wasn't aware lol. Seems like I did it with almost all ground road and apron textures. I'm now making sure I choose the textures with "Asobo" in brackets cuz those would be defaults which everyone should have.

Just corrected it and now re-uploading an updated version fix.

deadkennedy 1 year(s) ago

Thank you very much. The update fixed the problem.
5 star scenery and 5 star service.

Works perfectly now! Thank you. I changed my rating to a 5 star as it should be.

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Lol Awesome!😁

Performer09 1 year(s) ago

By the way, your excellent screenshots are top quality and life like. They convey the feeling of being there!

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Awesome X2! 😁 Thanks and glad it worked!

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Yeah...I have some experience with taking pics with my phone and some pro cameras so I try to emulate that in the sim. 😅
You got a good eye man. Thanks!

Awesome! The West indies is almost complete concerning detail airports on most islands with your scenery and others offered. All that's left is Bermuda, Turks, TUPJ, Montego Bay, Kingston, Cayman MWCR, TBPB, and Punta Cana. Some of those need custom terminals because of their unique design. TBPB, TFFR, MWCR, and MDPC come to mind.

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Lol yeah...a lot to be done. Thing is, I'm only one guy doing this so it will take time. I've lost some sleep as well 😅 ....not good really...but I try to get the time to do what I do. I do enjoy it though. Thanks!

OOOOOH!!! THATS WHY EVERY TIME I SEE YOU PARKED UP AT TDPD.. LOL NOW I GET IT LOL. GREAT SCENERY HERE MAN. WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN DOING PORT OF SPAIN? HEARS MY DISCORD LINK, GOT SOME OTHER CARIBBEAN SIMMERS THERE https://discord.gg/63THsdxCuZ

lexuz2020 1 year(s) ago

Lol..yup! I see some simmers fly in from time to time and had some interesting landing fails while editing the scenery 😂. I think i'll start taking screenshots with simmers in them and post them along with the actual shots for the scenery. 😏 It almost feels like you're looking/testing the airport as its being rebuilt lol. That would be cool though.

Thanks man. No problem.
Like I said in a previous comment sometime back, I'm only interested in doing Airports that havn't been touched by the pros as yet. Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada, Antigua, St.Maarten, St. Barts and Saba all have been touched already, hence why they have "Stars" on them in the world map. I put "Stars" on mine as well so you'll easily see them. So airports with no stars are the ones I'll try to deal with in the mean time. 😄

Suggestion, bugs and ideas for the future.

Version 1.5 August 03, 2022

[Since Sim update 5, my Sim was literally broken and couldn't create any more scenery mods. Some scenery objects that were used also got changed without warning after the updates. Thankfully many Sim updates later, i'm now able to create again. Thanks for your patience :) ]

TDPD:
- Replaced all taxiway lights. They now work again.
- Changed and updated textures for main apron and gave it a "resurfaced" look but still a "used" feel like IRL.
- Added a more dirty texture to runway.
- Removed taxiway markings on main apron as IRL there are none present since they resurfaced it. [Will update it when I get new info]
- Added two drains for the drainage system, one between Taxiway C and B and the other between Taxiway B and A.
- IRL the main terminal building and some others were renovated, so I tried updating the look of them a bit and changed a few things around to look close to the real thing.
- Replaced a static cessna 208 caravan near the cargo section with a default livery so everyone can see it. Also removed a TBM 930 that was simulating an aircraft wreck IRL that was near taxiway C. It is now removed.
- Updated one parking spot to accommodate the parking of one large jet so it can use the jet services [Eg: see stairway, luggage carts, catering truck etc. when you park with the A320]
- Updated the look of the airport parking lot.
-Added a few more building lights.

TDCF:
- Removed all taxiway lights and runway lights [IRL there are none, so no night flying]
- Updated some vegetation close to runway 19.
- Added street lights in the area.
- Added a few scenery objects and a building around the airport.
- Added a fire station building.
- Removed red\white antenna near terminal.
-Added some grass mesh around the airport.
Version 1.1 May 06, 2021

- Corrected and fixed an issue where some users were not seeing apron, paved or road textures (seeing white and black checkered textures instead) in both Airports.
- TDCF - Added runway number and threshold "wear n' tear" marking textures at runway 01.
Launched May 05, 2021
Initial release of this file just launched. Welcome aboard!
