CPS2 - Elmhirst's Resort, Keene, Ontario, Canada scenery addition for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
VERSION 1.1 - October 2022
FREE AND EXCLUSIVE TO FLIGHTSIM.TO (If you find this file elsewhere, let me know).
Installation:
NOTE the TWO folders.
arh-cprs2-keene = contains the CPS2 airstrip and all the scenery except landmark locations.
arh-cprs2-keene-POI = contains only landmark locations for cities, natural features and points of interest, but no scenery.
Place the folders in your community folder. If you do not wish all the POI showing, do not install the arh-cprs2-keene-POI folder. I hope you enjoy the updated area!
You may also wish to filter out POIs on your World Map > Open Filters > Points of Interest (turn them off), and for a full sense of immersion, turn POIs off with your Assistance > Navigation Aids settings (or just do not install the folder arh-cprs2-keene-POI).
Scenery:
In the default scenery, the Elmhirst's Resort airpstrip does not exist. This scenery adds the airstrip with its associated facilities. Also, the surrounding area has details added. This scenery was created using information from the Canadian Flight Supplement and Canada Air Pilot (expired editions), and an examination of various internet mapping sites. At this time, this scenery uses only default SDK elements and each has been placed at appropriate locations by examining the information sources listed above.

* ICAO: CPS2
* Airport location: 44-15-00 N, 78-07-00 W (44.250000, -78.116667)

* runway and runway marking cones.

Looks really great! I've been looking for an addon for Elmhirsts for a while! You've done a great job with the hangars and the strip. Would be great if you could include some more of the cabins and the piers for parking float planes at. Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks, and I still have not figured out how to make the east part of the runway dry without totally loosing the runway slope. If you could message me with a screenshot of where the docks should go, I can add them. I also had the request to add the lake landing area, which I will need to learn how to do. Plus I need to add parking places. Since I am only using standard SDK objects so far, not sure if there are any good representations of cabins. The default trees are so big but if I replaced them all with individual trees more to scale, I think it would hit the fps and load times. Anyway, still looking to improve all the sceneries I have done as well as add more of them. I need to learn how to make some custom objects in blender if I ever get time! Well, winter is coming!

Some fish flying through the air in a wet spot near the end of the runway.
Otherwise, loved the additions to the area! Very nice!

Thanks - I have been trying to figure out how to remove that wet area between the two ponds that crosses the runway but have had no success. When I do find out how, it will be updated. What I did in the past does not seem to work with the SDK currently.
