File Description:
EGUA RAF Upper Heyford 1955-1962
The airfield was originally built in 1918 by the Royal Air Force on land owned by New College Oxford, closed briefly after the end of the First World War and then re-opened in the 1920s. During the Second World War it was used by units of RAF Bomber Command but these were training rather than operational forces, even if aircraft of the 16th OTU (Operational Training Unit) may sometimes have taken part in bombing operations against the Third Reich. New runways were laid in 1942. During the Cold War Upper Heyford was chosen as one of the airfields used to operate bomber aircraft belonging to the US Strategic Air Command, and in 1950 the main runway was extended while new hardstandings were constructed for the bombers concerned. However, units were not stationed there permanently, but did Temporary Duty Assignments from their bases in the US. They included the 93rd Bomb Wing, 97th Air Refueling Squadron, 509th Air Refueling Squadron, 301st Bomb Wing, 8th Air Sea Rescue Squadron, 2nd Bomb Wing, 5th Bomb Wing Detachment, and the 22nd Bomb Wing. Aircraft included the B-50 Superfortress, (briefly) the B-36 Peacemaker, the B-47 and from 1960 the B-52. There were further significant developments after 1962 which fall outside the remit of this scenery, Upper Heyford being finally returned to the British Ministry of Defence in 1994 after the end of the Cold War.

File Description:
EGLK Blackbushe 1955-1959
Opened in 1942 as RAF Hartford Bridge it was used for fighter, bomber and photo reconnaissance work before being renamed Blackbushe and transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in 1947, becoming London's second airport. It was closed in 1960 as a result of the development of London Gatwick. Before that it had become home to the rapidly growing British independent airline industry and often provided a valuable alternate for Heathrow when it was restricted by fog. It was also a major European base for the US Navy. Since 1960 it has continued to serve general aviation under private ownership on a much more restricted site. This scenery is part of the California Classic retro environment.

| HKRE Nairobi Eastleigh 1955-1962 |
|
File Description:
RAF Eastleigh was the Nairobi airport used by civilian airliners until 1958, when it was replaced by Embakasi, in 1978 renamed Jomo Kenyatta. It still exists as the Kenyan Moi Air Base. This scenery recreates it as it was between 1955 and 1962 and has the files necessary to re-route there the California Classic civilian traffic for 1955 and 1957. Al Von Pingel has provided military traffic for those years, and also for 1959 and 1962.

| FSX Engine and Flight Instrument Failure Generator |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The FSX Engine and Flight Instrument Failure Generator program allows the user to simulate the loss of one randomly selected engine (out of 4 max) and up to five flight instruments: Airspeed Indicator (ASI), Attitude Indicator (AI), Altimeter (ALT), Vertical Velocity Indicator (VVI) and Directional Gyro (DG).
The program works with most FSX default aircraft and to varying degrees with payware aircraft depending on how much the payware aircraft adheres to the FSX of doing things. Failures are based on failure probabilities, ranging from 0 to 100%, assigned by the user to the engine(s) and each of the flight instruments. Failures occur at random times within a specified time period called the Failure Window which the user can specify to be from 1 to 240 minutes. The FSX Engine and Flight Instrument Failure Generator is a Lua program and requires a registered version of FSUIPC4. Operation and Installation manual included.

| DEW Line Stations for Alaska, Canada And Greenland |
|
File Description:
This scenery is meant to capture the essence of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line of radar and communications stations stretching from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska across the Northern shores of Alaska and Canada into Greenland. The package includes 78 of the DEWLine stations. The DEW Line served as the early warning system for North America during the years of the cold war. Many of the stations were built in the 50’s with others added in the 60’s, 70’s and into the 80’s. Most of these installations have now been closed. Many of the objects have been modeled from photographs. Where possible, site photographs were used to insure that the layouts were as representative of the sites as possible. They are, however, representations only.

File Description:
Thanks to feedback from a friend, I corrected the mistake of drawing the Kuwaiti flag upside down on the starboard fuselage of the aircraft. Also corrected information about the aircraft which was phased out and sold to Pacific Aero in the U.S. in mid 80's.
