About This File

FS2004 Scenery--Goose Bay Canadian Forces Base and US Air Base. Goose Bay Canadian Forces Base and US Air Base (CYYR), Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 1955-62. Originally built to facilitate the transport of US aircraft to Europe during the Second World War, during the Cold War Goose Bay was a base of major importance. Like nearby Gander it was a vital refuelling point for transatlantic crossings, but also along with the recently released Ernest Harmon Air Base (CYJT) an important part of the defences against the threat of Soviet bombers carrying muclear weapons attacking the USA via the North Pole. F-89 Scorpions and then F-102 Delta Daggers were based there, and this download includes F-89s especially made for this scenery by David Wooster. Flight plans are provided for 1955, 1957, 1959 and 1962, doing much to recreate this significant Cold War base as it really was; many of the aircraft which passed through Goose at that time are provided for. This scenery is based on the excellent scenery produced by Flight Ontario in 2008 and requires the prior installation from this site of GOOSEBAY.ZIP and GOOSEFIX.ZIP Without these files it will simply not work. This file is an update to the scenery issued in October 2021, made necessary by the discovery of new information as a result of further historical research. There have also been changes to the ADE and traffic files intended to improve the performance of both, and to the navaids too. Instructions are included for those installing from scratch and those updating our previous version, and there have been improvements to the clarity of the instructions for the downloading and installation of the ai aircraft. There will be no further updates. By Al Von Pingel, Dan French, Bill Douglas and Ken Lawson.

Bit disappointing, shutting down my FS. The previous version was excellent, so probably some texture errors?

You may have installed it incorrrectly. Copy the new textures into the existing Flight Ontario folder, do not delete their folder and then replace it with ours. Doing that does cause CTDs.
