Refuge Cove, located on West Redonda Island, is a co-owned community with a well-known supply store for boaters. You can buy ice, groceries, fuel and coffee. On the otherside of the Desolation Sound is Prideaux Heaven, a nice place for boaters and some Campsites, be careful there might be some Kayaks paddling around.

So, take your floatplane out on a tour to the Discovery Islands and join me hopping between these Islands or just sit on the deck with a coffee or a beer in the late canadian sun.

If you are in the area, stop at the other waterdromes as well. See the Map in this package. On Cortes Island I added Squirrel Cove and Mansons Landing (CAV7). Surge Narrows (CAG9) on Read Island, the General Store and the Postoffice is served from Campbell River (see my other Seaplane Base) with a daily Mail Flight. Owen Bay on Sonora Island has besides a seaplane dock a tricky to land wooden Helipad on top of the bridge. Dent Island Lodge with an additional Helipad for picking up tourists who are taking a helicopter shuttle to Campbell River or a sightseeing tour, besides a landing dock.

West Thurlow Islands Blind Channel Resort (CAG6) and the Camp Cordero Fishing Lodge (CAK6) with Helipad! Nearby you find a Logging Site with three parking spots.

Further out on Gilford Island you can find Health Bay (CAD7).

All marinas require my Seaplane Asset Library.

Many buildings and objects are custom made for this package.

Installation:
Drop the folder included in your community folder.

Big thanks to mamu82 for his help and Superspud for his Boats and animated kayaks!

Enjoy flying low and slow

++++++ NOTAM+++++

Compatible with mamu82s Marinas. If the marinas boats and docks are loaded on top of my scene, you can change it in the content manager by putting marinas in the list above Refuge Cove, so my scene is loaded after - and the docks and ships in the specific areas will be excluded!

In general:

Docks -1- are associated with small planes

Docks -2- are designated for the Beaver

Docks -3- are twin engine plane docking spots

+++ before updating make sure to delete the old folders! ++

excellent work! I use the AN-2 on floats and really enjoy exploring your sceneries. Very interesting. I spend a lot of time just exploring..(shame the houses are hollow) Anyhow, Great job keep up the super work. One minor question: @Refuge Cove, most assets are floating in the air, not on the terrain. Any ideas? Thank you and Keep building..

I live on the BC coast and you have captured the atmosphere of these spots very well!

Can you clarify how to add the prerequisite textures? Do I just drop them in my community folder like I did this? Or do I need to place them into a folder inside Refuge Cove?

Very nice scenery addon, many thanks! For an 'inlander' it can be difficult to find his VFR way around. At Prideaux Heaven (which surely deserves its name!) I spotted a group of 5 kajaks and Northeast of Camp Cordero I found the logging site, too. However, I see logs, but the site doesn't look like your screenshots # 8+9. 😞

Is there another 'logging site'? Or does it change looks dynamically (seasons)? I have your lib installed (Dave's and Superspud's, too). And I see small groups of logs in many places, but not a cramped field like in your screenshots.

Could you create a parking spot at the logging area so we can select it on startup and save a flight and begin cold and dark anchored at this dock? This is more realistic than always having to begin at a water runway with engine running etc.

Thanks a Million 😊

Very immersive. Perfect for the beaver, but i can't see 3D people as shown in your photos. What dependency did i miss? I downloaded all the ones you have listed (including the recommended ones as well).

ScarsStitches

I really love what you're doing with these sceneries, and with the excellent new Beaver, it's just a great experience, thank you!

Westcoaster

Just had a fabulous flight touring your map; landing, restocking, delivering, rinse and repeat. Before I knew it 3 hours elapsed. With the new Beaver it was an enormously satisfying flight which I will be repeating often. Excellent work! The locations coupled with the atmosphere you've created is simply outstanding, thank you!

Thanks, sometimes you need that 😅

Hi...first time downloading and see that you say the modelLib is incorporated into the main file. Does that mean I don't need the 4 Required and 3 Recommended files?
Thanks,

Garry

Hi, the libraries from other devs are still required or recommended. But i used to have my custom models created for these places in a second folder and that extra folder is now obsolete. Sorry for the confusion.

triflyman

Do we still need the "jay-refugecove" folder that we needed in the past? Or not?

No, you should delete it ;) it will probably mess with the textures and turn them in checkerboard if not

Thank you! Also in advance to any SU12 fixes! 🙄

I went to Owen Bay today, but couldn't find it. It also doesn't show in the world map.

But I came by the logging site. So I conclude the addon is loaded correctly.

Let me check, Owen is only a POI Landmark on the world map. But thanks for the idea, i added a helipad now to start from the platform ;)

Did my terraforming there today. Refuge Cove will unfortunately take a while, since it’s entirely messed up after SU12 and i have to reshape the entire bay.

Thanks for sharing, i just saw how badly the terraform looks now after the su12. The sunshades and tables are floating.. oh no! Just left town first day of vacation! Will rework the polygons, just looked yesterday at surge narrows to fix a material and haven’t checked all places.

Thank you, glad you like it. Unfortunately the last update (su12) changed the terraforming in the sdk. Its better, i hope in the future, but it ruins a few things from the past. I have to rework all the fine areas, everything should be on the ground ;)

I’ll have a look after my vacation, just departed today. So i ask for your patience. Take care

Thanks, that means a lot to me! I really like the area and enjoy looking at the seaplanes going in and out ;)

The two folders from my zip archive (jay-refugecove and z30west-refugecove) go in the community folder on their own. First file includes the assets and the second the scenery files.

Thank you! Your missing the bush-backcountry library i guess. See the link below. I was about to model the logs myself, but than wookie just released his library.

There is only one Logging site at the moment, but if you follow the road uphill you will find a small site in the woods. I wanted to have something for helicopters too, but it‘s not completed yet 😉

Thanks for the scenery update. I noticed GAG9 has a checkboard pattern covering the water area.

Thanks for reporting, i will check which texture/material i used and if it is missing in the fs-base materials after the update. Haven‘t used any materials from other mods.

Beautiful scenery! Brings back memories from the FSX days.

Maybe one thing? One of your folders starts with '30' while mamu82s Marinas starts with an 'a'. Can you rename your '30West' folder so that Marinas will automatically comes below your scenery?

In your description you write that the scenery order is to be done in the Content Manager but I cannot find it there. I used the Scenery Order tool in Experimental settings instead.

Thanks for the hint, it will come with the next update. I renamed the folder already and testing it right now! Maybe it‘s doing the trick and i can delete the my reorder tool/manager advice ;)

I never had fsx but the pictures are really nice from back than.

Hi, yes absolutely. There are three i think, but they are connected with the Camp Cordero. For the time beeing, click on CAK6 and select from there the parking spots at the Logging docks! I will split them in a future update, than it is easier to find :)

Thanks for your support!

Hi,

you are right, the static people are daves3dpeople. So i will add them to the list. Thank you!
