| City Builder Tool |
|
File Description:
The tool (a 50 kb Java application) provides a GUI where you just click and place bases, rivers, blocks, churchs, parks, runway, solarplants etc.
Then you click "produce" and the tool writes your My_Cool_Base.cfg file for your
OrbiterConfig folder.
In this way I build my home town, with parks and churchs,
and I take off from there, now ...
Note: this is an alpha version from the "features point of view", but it is almost a beta release from the "testing point of view".
In other words (I know Avsim requires at least beta's) the tool works well, simply it is not completed (some features are missing).
I made this tool just for fun. So, if you really think is worthy going on with it, or that it's a funny/useful tool, please let me know.
If I see that the tool is useful for the Orbiter community, I will complete it more quickly and I will post a real beta release in a couple of weeks.
REMARK: you need Java to run this tool!

| Douglas VC-54C-1-DO 'Sacred Cow' |
|
File Description:
Built a C-54A-5-DO Skymaster at Santa Monica, CA, for the USAAF (c/n 7470) and delivered on 26 January 1944. Converted to VC-54C-1-DO for personal use by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Irreverent journalists promptly named it 'Sacred Cow'. The VC-54C contained an electric elevator to lift the polio-struck Roosevelt and his wheelchair on board. The elevator was raised from the ground into the aircraft's belly for which purpose a hatch in the bottom of the fuselage could be opened. President Roosevelt made only a few flights with the 'Sacred Cow', the most famous journey being to and from the Yalta Conference with Stalin and Churchill in the Soviet Union.
Following the death of Roosevelt, his successor Harry S. Truman continued using the 'Sacred Cow' till July 1947. Nowadays the aircraft is on display at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, be it with a different serial number. These are textures only. You will require Jens B. Kristensen's great Douglas DC-4 & C-54 (dc4_v21.zip). Original textures by Jens B. Kristensen. Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.

| Forggensee, v2 Update |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This UPDATE enhances the existing Forggensee Water-Airport(EDAF).
Klaus Jone did a magnificent job in creating this scenery for us flightsimmers, and my enhancements do NOT alter any Scenery Objects by Klaus Jone. The buildings are the same. And the number of AI planes and ships are unchanged.
My enhancements modify the BEHAVIOR of the Ships.
But the floatplane traffic is so superbly programmed that no further modifications are necessary.
Mr. Klaus Jone passed away in May 2009, and it is my intention to preserve Forggensee pretty much as HE designed it. Except for modifying the BEHAVIOR of the AI traffic, to spread it out to cover the entire area of Lake Forggensee. As the screenshots I've included illustrate.
Naturally, these updated files require that Forggensee Part 1 and Part 2 are ALREADY installed in your FS2004. My part here was to perform a few tweaks to make the AI traffic spread out all over Lake Forggensee, and ensure that ALL wake/spray effects are visible. As Klaus Jone stated: "There is some amazing traffic on the lake, have a look and have fun!"

This airport update was made with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design Editor) and made for FSX as a replacement for the stock (default) airport. I've made several changes to the airport which are listed below. All these enhancements are as close to the real airport as I can get with stock library objects. I've used satellite images, terminal photos and maps throughout the whole process so building locations are as accurate as possible. Happy landings in the tropical Bahamas!

| Slick / Aviation Traders Douglas C-54A |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This package contains two repaints for Jens B. Kristensen's FS2004 Douglas DC-4 & C-54 V3.0. One repaint represents Resort Airlines' C-54A (modified to DC-4 standard) N65142 while on lease to Slick Airways from 1 July 1959 till 30 June 1960 for military charter flying (Logair) for the U.S. Government. After having returned to Resort Airlines she was placed in open storage at Oakland, CA. The other repaint represents the same aircraft in her British ferry markings she carried in July 1961. Around 1961-62 five ex-Resort C-54s which had been stored at Oakland for some time, ranging from several months to 6 years, were rescued by Aviation Traders (of Southend and Stansted, England) from the scrapdealer's axe and converted to ATL.98 Carvair car-ferry and cargo aircraft. N65142, which was in a very poor condition after her Logair period of minimal maintenance and repeated overloading, as well as the abuse by the elements during the open air storage close to sea water, was one of these lucky birds.
These are textures only. You will need Jens B. Kristensen's FS2004 Douglas DC-4 & C-54 (DC4_V30.ZIP). Repaints by Maarten Brouwer.

File Description:
This package contains two repaints for Jens B. Kristensen's FSX Douglas DC-4 & C-54 V3.0. One repaint represents Resort Airlines' C-54B (modified to DC-4 standard) N88709 while performing military charter flights (Logair) for the U.S. Government from October 1954 till sometime in 1955. Then she was placed in open storage at Oakland, CA. The other repaint represents the same aircraft in her British ferry markings she carried in late June 1961. Around 1961-62 five ex-Resort C-54s which had been stored at Oakland for some time, ranging from several months to 6 years, were rescued by Aviation Traders (of Southend and Stansted, England) from the scrapdealer's axe and converted to ATL.98 Carvair car-ferry and cargo aircraft.

| Hewanorra TLPL on Saint Lucia in the eastern Caribbean |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Lucia island is to the north of the Grenadines, between Martinique and Saint Vincent. St Lucia is nearly 30 miles long and has a population of 175,000, with two airports. Hewanorra International is at the southern end of the island, the end furthest from the capital, Castries. The reason for this is that at the southern end it was possible to build a runway almost 9,000 feet long, while the airport in the north (Vigie) could not be extended further to accomodate the largest jets. The airport was originally a USAAF base, converted to commercial use.
All buildings are made with photographic textures and include the new terminal and a new control tower. The apron has been extended so that 747's etc can be accommodated, and there are regular international flights by Virgin, BA, Air Canada, Air France, etc and local connecting flights by LIAT; the AI includes both major international airlines and LIAT. The towns around the airport (Vieux Fort etc) are included here: the scenery is based on the "Lesser Antilles Mesh" which is required and can be downloaded for free.

| GPS GARMIN 400 Series Trainer |
|
File Description:
The 400 Series Trainer provides a completely functional simulator for the unit of your choice. In addition, you get the capability to simulate the plane’s location, speed, altitude, heading, and selected course input. These features allow you to practice basic operations such as the power-on sequence, frequency selection, and page selection. You may also practice the more advanced features such as flight plan navigation and approach procedure navigation.
In addition to providing the capability to simulate free flight for any desired course, the Trainer allows you to simulate some of the practice flights described in the pilot’s guide. These practice scenarios automatically fly the plane in a playback mode so you can concentrate more closely on the system’s operation.
While the 400 Series Trainer may be fun to fly, its primary intent is to help you become acquainted with the many powerful features provided by the real unit. You can learn to use a wealth of situational awareness features of the 400 Series from the comfort and safety of a personal computer, so that you can fly safely and more efficiently.
This is a GPS Trainer Utility

| The Hawaiian Islands - Kauai, Part 1 of 5 |
|
File Description:
The complete scenery package is 446MB in size. In order to accommodate AvSim's file size requirement, this scenery has been broken into five smaller files. However, all five files -- Hawaii-Kauai-RS-01.zip through Hawaii-Kauai-RS-05.zip -- are necessary for this scenery to work properly. My apologies in advance for the added complexity this involves. "Hawaii-Kauai-RS-01" includes a ReadMe with detailed instructions on how to install this scenery.
Kauai itself is the fourth largest of the main Hawaiian Islands. Also known as the "Garden Isle" due to it's lush tropical foliage, it is located about 105 miles (170 kilometers) west of Oahu and just to the east of tiny Niihau. The east side of Mount Wai'ale'ale is considered to be one of the wettest spots on earth receiving an average annual rainfall of 460 inches (1,200 cm). All that water has carved out deep valleys in the central mountains, the most scenic of which is Waimea Canyon, often referred to as "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific". From shoreline cliffs to mountainous heights, to pristine beaches, enjoy exploring this picture postcard perfect landscape.
