Question for My Fellow Nova Scotians.....

. . . not sure if you were aware, there is a very detailed scenery of Stanfield International and Shearwater airports for FSX. You can check out the details at - http://www.simaddons.com/ that is high on my list of add-on's (if I can sneek the purchase past the wife...)

Gig, Mon Vieux! You're a verified Prince of the First Water!! I had no idea that these sceneries existed, but I'm greatly obliged to you for steering me to them!

I immediately ordered the bundle, btw, which isn't too bad at all, when I consider it includes the four airfields, in toto. Moreover, they look good on the screenies, so even if they only look *half* as good in FSX, I'll be one Happy Camper!

Many thanks again, Sir! :medals:

Hey Dude...(I used to say that all the time when I was in high school, guess I never really grew up...lol) there are a couple of good sceneries of CYHZ for FS9, I still have one of them loaded on my spare HDD, I will plug it in and get the author's name and see if I can find where I D/L the file. I suspect it was from AVSim, but I am not sure. I believe I still have the full zip file and if it is permitted by the author I can always send it to you directly if it can't be located online. I'll check mu drive now and post as soon as I can check the Readme in the zip file.
 
OK so I have searched 5 hard drives, and I can't locate my FS9 scenery files, I know I have them on the old box, I mothballed it almost 2 years ago. I have been meaning to power it back up and this gives me the perfect reason, there are a few files on there I want. I will fire up the old puter tomorrow and if she has any life left in her I should be able to locate that FS9 Hfx International scenery - it was created before the renamed CYHZ, but it is very accurate, and as I recall it used all default objects so it was quite frame friendly.

For any of you guys that are familiar with the Shearwater Aviation Museum, does anybody have any news on the Fairey Firefly Restoration. I have to say that I haven't been to Shearwater in quite a few years, sad for me I know.

Appreciate any News:applause:

I just took a look at the SAM site, there is a short page on the restoration, and from the picture it looks to be coming along nice, here is the direct link to the page - http://www.shearwateraviationmuseum.ns.ca/exhibits/firefly.htm
 
I read in a magazine a few months back (not sure which one, must have been Air and Space or Canadian Aviator) that the restoration was complete and she would be participating in the 100 years of Flight in Canada Celebrations. Not sure where, it was going to be in either Shearwater or Greenwood.
 
Hmmmm.... Dude, I am working on something right now, but I will go over there and see what I can find out. With my luck, it will be closed when I get there. I will try to take photos.
 
Hey, Dude; Closed today, Labour Day, they are open tommorrow. Phone message says 10 am, someone picked up and said 9 am. So, if I don't have some kind of disaster, I will be going tommorrow morning. If I cannot figure out how to post photos, I will get your address, and print some up and mail them to ya. Let's hope photos are allowed, if not, I,ll get all the info and phamplets I can for ya.
 
Dude, and others interested in Shearwater

Well, I finally made it to the museum. Not too bad at all! Dude, I was talking to the guys working on the Firefly. There is no time limit on the project. They say it is day by day. Things keep popping up, and when it's done, it's done. They plan to start her up in about a month, if all goes well. I took some photos, but I took a telephoto lense, which was useless in there. For some reason my pc will not read the card at the moment.
There are jets from every area, helicopters too. For prop fans there is an avenger, tracker, and a beautiful Swordfish, which is a lot bigger than I ever imagined. There are a lot of books about the aircraft, and navy flying history. I would say if you are ever in town, have a look. There is a lot to see, you could kill a few hours there.
Dude, if you make it up, the guys and a lady too, that are working on it are really nice. They will answer all your questions. They might even let you touch the Firefly!
 
Right on, it's been a few years since I was up there. I might have to make a trip up one day, I'm starting a new job in Tantallon next week, that means I'll have to move to Halifax some time before christmas. But I'll certainly make a trip, thanks for the update.
 
Thanks so much for the info mariereid, I am getting all excited now, I have been planning to get there for years and I am making it a MUST HAPPEN this trip. :jump: I have to take a day or so down the Eastern shore to close up the summer place, but I figure Tuesday will be a great day to spend some quality time at Sherwater. The wife doesn't seem to be so excited about the idea, women who can figure them ...lol
