    Refuge Cove - Discovery Islands - Image 1

    Description

    Refuge Cove, located on West Redonda Island, is a co-owned community with a well-known supply store for boaters. You can buy ice, groceries, fuel and coffee. On the otherside of the Desolation Sound is Prideaux Heaven, a nice place for boaters and some Campsites, be careful there might be some Kayaks paddling around.

    So, take your floatplane out on a tour to the Discovery Islands and join me hopping between these Islands or just sit on the deck with a coffee or a beer in the late canadian sun.

    If you are in the area, stop at the other waterdromes as well. See the Map in this package. On Cortes Island I added Squirrel Cove and Mansons Landing (CAV7). Surge Narrows (CAG9) on Read Island, the General Store and the Postoffice is served from Campbell River (see my other Seaplane Base) with a daily Mail Flight. Owen Bay on Sonora Island has besides a seaplane dock a tricky to land wooden Helipad on top of the bridge. Dent Island Lodge with an additional Helipad for picking up tourists who are taking a helicopter shuttle to Campbell River or a sightseeing tour, besides a landing dock.

    West Thurlow Islands Blind Channel Resort (CAG6) and the Camp Cordero Fishing Lodge (CAK6) with Helipad! Nearby you find a Logging Site with three parking spots.

    Further out on Gilford Island you can find Health Bay (CAD7).

    All marinas require my Seaplane Asset Library.

    Many buildings and objects are custom made for this package.

    Installation:
    Drop the folder included in your community folder.

    Big thanks to mamu82 for his help and Superspud for his Boats and animated kayaks!

    Enjoy flying low and slow

    Compatible with mamu82s Marinas. If the marinas boats and docks are loaded on top of my scene, you can change it in the content manager by putting marinas in the list above Refuge Cove, so my scene is loaded after - and the docks and ships in the specific areas will be excluded!

    In general:

    Docks -1- are associated with small planes

    Docks -2- are designated for the Beaver

    Docks -3- are twin engine plane docking spots

    +++ before updating make sure to delete the old folders! ++

    My goodness, what humongous task have you finished, it's great. Thanks! Now that SU3 is out and MSFS 2024 dust has settled a bit, a MSFS2024 version would be really appreciated.

    I‘ll look into it and see what can be done for 2024. I will have to redo all the objects to match with the LOD system requirements.
    Thanks for your support!

    But unfortunately, there's no map to be found in this package. Am I missing something?

    The one that is also in the screenshots above should be in the zip file included in this package.

    Hello, I'm having a slight problem with the Beaver when using your addons. As soon as it touches any of the docks, it acts like it's stuck to something. Even if I use pushback or slew mode to pull away from the dock, it still behaves as if it is run aground or something (even in open water). I'm not sure if it's your mod or something else I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for reporting, I will check if something had changed over time in an update of the sim to act differently on hardened surfaces like my docks. Are you using 2020 or 2024?

    2020. Again, not sure if it's your addon. If you don't find anything I will delete my comments.

    It appears that the Dave's 3D people library is unavailable now. Is there a solution? I'm assuming the creator removed it?

    Thank you for your report! I will replace the humans with other assets, started some additional things but it will take a while before it is ready to upload. During the summer Refuge Cove is crowded in real life but the rest of the year it is quite - now it’s like early fall in BC 🤣
