CNV9 Neuville aerodrome, version 3.0

Pierre Baillargeon in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Fillion
email: baillarp23@icloud.com

Scene published on April 23, 2020.

This version 3.0 incorporates for the first time a sloped runway at an airport in Quebec. It is compatible with the Prepar3D Version 5 version which was published by Lookheed Martin on April 14, 2020 and which now includes functionality to accept runways slopes. The scene has been compiled with the Software Development Kit (SDK) for version 5. It will not work with previous versions of FSX/P3D.

Neuville aerodrome is located nearly 9 miles south-southwest of CYQB Quebec. It was opened in 2012.

Version 3
=============
This version 3.0 includes:
- New ground plans to constitute the sloping ground necessary to receive the runway and allow it to integrate into the surrounding ground included
in the P3D V5 version (polygon with flatten option, no autogen trees at the edge of the runway but trees allowed at a certain distance).
- Correction of the geographic position of the runway and the runway heading, i.e. heading 64 degrees for runway 6 and its inverse 244 degrees
for runway 24. The airport is now correctly located in relation to the Gravel road which appears in P3D V5.
- A runway with the actual elevations as noted in Google Earth. A gravel border has been added on each side of the track.
- The runway has been lengthened according to the work in summer 2019. A displaced runway threshold of 142 meters has been added to runway 06
due to electrical wires in the short final on track 06 (marked by red balloons).
- Creation of wooded areas around the airport between Highway 40 and the St-Lawrence river so as to get as close as possible to the woods that
make approaching runway 24 more difficult.
- Addition of aprons and hangars that were built in 2018-2019 on the east side of the airport
- Integration of original buildings and other objects such as fuel tanks and static planes created by J-P Fillion in previous versions (a big thank you!).
- Addition of a wind sock such as at the airport
- Addition of vehicles and machinery at the airport
- Addition of 2 telecommunication antennas on the right base for runway 24.

Pilot tip:
=================
Tip for simulation purposes only. Consult an instructor for safe approach procedures for a realflight !

Approach to runway 24: 
----------------------

Remember that the circuit is right base. Basically, you will be high enough not to come close to the 2 communication towers north of Highway 40. But unless you have made your circuit much too low, you should not have any worries.

The pilot must keep a certain altitude to pass over the last trees before making a rapid descent towards the runway. The runway having a slight slope downhill on the first third of its length, the pilot must manage the power and the energy of the airplane well so as not to glide before making contact with the runway. This runway is particularly delicate at night without moon, make sure to adjust your altimeter well and to keep between 40 and 50 meters above the runway altitude to pass above the trees without having to subsequently clear the fir trees uprooted by your landing gear!

After landing and exiting at the runway, please do not crash onto the red and white Cherookee piper immediately to the left on the easternmost taxiway. It's mine !!

Approach to runway 06: 
----------------------

Circuit on the left. A communications tower is close to the final turn but you are generally well above its height because the turn is made approximately 500 feet above the airport altitude. Pay attention to the electric wires along the road before the airport. They are clearly indicated by red signal balloons on the wires.

Installation
=============
This version follows the installation guidelines recommended by the latest versions of P3d V5, which consists in using an add-on.xml file in the scene directory to inform P3D of the paths to the scene and the textures. This has the advantage of installing all of the airport's components outside of P3D and allows you to uninstall and reinstall the main software without having to redo the scenery library. The add-ons method also allows you to have the same procedure to install planes, scenes, special effects or any other complementary product for your simulator. You should therefore not add the scene to the scenery library but follow the following instructions.

If present, remove the aero_neuville scene from the FSX/P3D decor library and delete it from the FSX/P3D directory.

Copy the complete directory "Neuville CNV9 v3" into your "add-ons" directory of p3d. The default directory created by P3D is often the one shown below. You must replace the text beginning and ending with *** with your username. Clear the *** too.

C:\Users\*** INSERT YOUR USER NAME ***\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons

Once copied, you will have the following path: C:\Users\*** INSERT YOUR USER NAME HERE ***\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\Neuville CNV9 v3

That's all, at the next start, Prepar3D will scan the directory "Prepar3D v5 Add-ons" and identify the new directory "Neuville CNV9 v3" and find there the small file Add-On.xml which will allow it to locate the different elements and scene textures. A window will open on P3D to request confirmation that you want to activate this new add-ons.

The P3D "Add-On" menu allows you to activate or deactivate the scene if necessary.

If you've changed the add-ons directory, you probably know how to find it. The add-ons that are loaded at startup are in the file "add-ons.cfg" which you will find in this directory: C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5

The scenery will display up to the DENSE setting of P3D v5.

History of previous versions
