This file contains:
NSATIMJR.SC1
NSATIMJR.MOD
NSATIMJR.DOC (which you are now reading)
To be used with MicroSoft Flight Simulator 4.0 and Microsoft
Flight Simulator Aircraft and Scenery Designer. Requires
SubLOGIC's SD-12 (New York, Halifax, Montreal). Various objects
in the .SC1 file were produced with Laemming Wheeler's SEE
program.
NSATIMJR.MOD puts you on the threshold of the airstrip for the
Tim Horton Children's Camp near Bayhead, NS, in the stock Cessna.
I am not sure this strip has a prefix; I have called it TIM, thus
the title of this series.
The scenery in this file depicts three small towns on the north
coast of Nova Scotia, from west to east: Pugwash, Wallace, and
Tatamagouche, connected by Route 6, the Sunrise Trail. On the
Ferry Road running north from Wallace across Wallace Bay on the
Livingston Bridge, you will cross the west end of Fox Harbour,
and at the shore of the Northumberland Strait make a "T" with the
Gulf Shore Road. Turning east on the (Lower) Gulf Shore Road, you
will arrive at our Nova Scotia summer home; just come right up
the driveway and make yourselves at home. West on the (Upper)
Gulf Shore Road will take you past the Northumberland Country
Club and the Melville Presbyterian church. This is an alternate
route to Pugwash; you will see the lighthouse on Pugwash Point,
and can turn south on Church Street past the North Cumberland
Hospital. Note also the "Thinkers Lodge" (the birthplace of the
famous industrialist, Cyrus Eaton) on the street running along
the east shore of Pugwash Harbour. Pugwash holds a "Gathering of
the Clans" every July 1.
Wallace is endowed with two churches, and several businesses; the
most notable is Grant's General Store, near the wharf on the
south shore of Wallace Bay. The Six Mile Road running south from
Wallace eventually intersects with Route 104, the TransCanada
(supplied on SD-12); shortly after that intersection you will see
the Wentworth Hills, the site of one of the few ski resorts in
Nova Scotia.
Tatamagouche is famous, among other reasons, for being the first
site from which the Acadians were expelled in 1755 (including
"Evangeline"). There are still some Acadian dykes visible between
Wallace and Tatamagouche.
Aquatic objects are various buoys, a lobster boat in Wallace
Harbour, and a pilot whale off our shore. This one must have
strayed from Cape Breton, where they are numerous; seals are much
more common in the Northumberland Strait.
The airstrip at the Tim Horton camp (which really exists) is at a
bearing of 190, 31.7 DME from the Charlottetown (PEI) VOR (YYG;
114.1) and 346, 49.1 DME from the Halifax VOR (YHZ; 115.1). The
runway is 2000 feet long, at an elevation of 846; its orientation
is 1-19. I have a private radio station at my summer home, which
will serve as an NDB: frequency 123.
I should mention that the SD-12 scenery is extremely accurate. I
did not have to make any changes at all to the coastline, other
than to extend Wallace Bay somewhat, and draw in the rivers.
