Beat me to it. I was starting to work on an ADE poly to do the same thing.

Doug,
just checked Mahoney Lake hydro near Ketchikan.
Dam and power plant site look amazing. I love the watefall nearby Looks really beautiful.

on the small lake in front of the power plant complex there`s a small island with a cabin located on it.
I´m not sure if this cabin is part of mahoney lake scenery. If it is part of it, there`s an Elevation Problem with the cabin. Look at the picture attached.

I also noticed, that Whitman lake hydro is part of the actual APP zip-file.
You wanted to offer it as an separate download as it is not compatiblw with the payware PAKT Airport scenery....I`m user of PAKT payware and can confirm that Whitman hydro is not compatible with PAKT payware on this way... ;)

Which bgl are you referring to in the APP zip that is Whitman?  Can't find it here, probably just not seeing it.

On the cabin, try turning off PAKT ... bet you the problem is PAKT payware! They assured me it didn't got "that far" from the airport. Here's what the cabins looks like for me. And, yes, this is part of the Mahoney Lake Hydro.

Try turning off PAKT (if you can) and see if the cabin is OK. If it is NOT, then I'll have to make Mahoney Lake a separate download too.  Here's what I'm seeing:

Doug,
please apologize!!!
I must have installed the whitman hydro scenery the other day and then completly forgot it.
It's all good with the APP zip-file. It was just stupid me not checking my scsenery library...sorry again.

I can live with this one cabin conflicting with payware PAKT. I think you also created a small bridge for the street crossong the river in this area. I also seems to fit correctly because of PAKT payware aera.
But these two are the only issues I found .... And Mahoney Lake hydro looks beautiful.
I personally can live with these two ones with PAKT payware installed.

But I should put a NOTAM in that the cabin and bridge could be out of place with the  pay ware. How about the upper dam and the hydro plant...are they ok? (Not a prob on Whitman, that's why betas are so confusing...it takes courage! :-)

Snettisham Hydro Plant:
The update is coming up:
Drawing the powerline was much more work than i thought. I don't understand the algorhythm of that IS3 tool. Sometimes there is a groundpoly sometimes not. Somestimes powertowers are placed close to each other, sometimes big gaps to edit manually. It took me more time than I wanted to spend on that.
The submarine_cable_station_east at Taku Inlet near Dorothy Plant is added with a little dock for maintenance flights with a float plane.
From my part the scenery is finished, if you have suggestions let me know, it's still in beta mode.

New Snettisham Files are "up" with the changes Thomas has mentioned. Let us know if everything is OK.

I never really got the power line thing to really work well with IS3 either. Seems like the towers sometimes showed up and sometimes didn't. Too much bother.

Had the same problem here ... couldn't make it work consistently. Thomas, did you find a "trick" to using this in IS3?

Upper dam and hydro plant look very good to me.
I tested the helipads. Worked very well....with nice approaches.

Thomas,
I'd suggest a small helipad at taku inlet station.
Would be much easier bringing in maintenance crews via helo. :)

Klaus,
No problem with a helipad. I succeeded to land in front of the machine house. I will do it next week.

Concerning the powerline, I added towers manually when I was not content with IS3 result.

Thank you, Thomas.
The reason for placing helipads is the strange behaviour of helo's in fsx landing on sloped terrain.
If the terrain is sloped only a very few degrees the helo zends to slip downhill....very slow but steady. It is an odd behaviour. Ground friction is bad in fsx when it comes to helo's.
Normally I like sceneries without helipad's because I think this is more realistic as not every cabin or building in Alaska will have it it's own helipad. So when the desired landing zone is a flattened area in fsx, it's also o.k.

Visited Reynolds Creek Hydro today.
This is another amazing APP Location.
the site looks beautiful and is excellent fit into the landscape.
 
The approaches to the helipads are very nice...especially the approach to the helipad on the dam.

When landing on the two upper helipads I noticed the helo sunk a few inches in the ground. I attached a screenshot of the helipad on the Dam. The helipad on the construction site was the same.
