FSX Manitoba Floatplane Bases Scenery

Manitoba Floatplane Bases. 55 bases including 36 floatplane bases, 6 heliports and 13 airports/airstrips. 15 flights to get you started at unlisted bases. Requires Ultimate Terrain X - Canada. By Mike Mann.

Covering an area of 649,950 sq km (250,900 sq mi); this Canadian province has over 110,000 lakes. Sounds like the ideal area to fly the FSX Beaver in with but one problem; Microsoft FSX's list of default airports for Manitoba includes no floatplane bases! Searching the internet for FSX Manitoba floatplane bases produces a list as comprehensive as Microsoft's, zero. So here is my contribution to help alleviate this shortcoming, the aptly named Manitoba Floatplane Bases. I haven't totally neglected those who prefer to fly without floats on their aircraft, I have included some airports/airstrips as well as heliports that Microsoft neglected to provide. All listed and unlisted floatplane bases, heliports and airports/airstrips are based on real world facilities based on data obtained from the internet. I hope you enjoy using this package.

Features:
- 24 listed floatplane bases (with runway starts and dock parking starts)
- 6 listed heliports
- 10 listed airports
- 12 unlisted floatplane bases and outposts
- 3 unlisted airstrips
- flights were created to start from all unlisted bases (dock starts for the floatplane bases)
- some custom buildings and docks were created by myself for this scenery package

Requirements:
Besides FSX it is essential to have Ultimate Terrain X – Canada installed and activated.

Installation:
Copy the “ManitobaFloatBases” folder into your Addon Scenery folder \\Program Files\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery.

Add ManitobaFloatBases through your scenery FSX settings and make sure it is above all the Ultimate Terrain X – Canada settings.

To use the flights just copy them over from the “Flight” folder into your “Flight Simulator X Files” folder \\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files
