| Pacific Western AI Aardvark Boeing 737-200 |
|
File Description:
Pacific Western, repaint for the AI_Aardvark 737-200. By RotorRick Deckard. Freeware, textures only, requires AI_Aardvark 737-200 basepack.
Pacific Western was a Canadian airline based in the western provinces, back when I was growing up, and I saw their planes all the time. They merged into CP Air, which turned into Canadian Airlines when they also took Wardair. And Canadian Airlines exists no longer either, having been absorbed by Air Canada, many of their staff were let go, and less desirable planes sold off to discount airlines.
Pacific Western, in parnership with Boeing, pionered a modification to the 737-200 that enabled it to land on gravel runways! Yes, no joke, with several of the destination runways up near the arctic circle, these runways wouldn't survive the ground temperature changes if they were more common paved or concrete runways. Anyway, I don't know many details, but I do know it involved a large beaver board attached to the rear of the nosegear wheels (which looks very much like that on the Antarctic mission C-130's the US uses to support missions down under), and vortex generators to blow in front of the engines on landing. This is all done to keep the low slung engines from ingesting any FOD. Since that time, such strips are more commonly visited by the Boeing 727, which has it's engines better protected and is generally more suited to such special purposes.

This airline has operated the 707, Lockheed C-130 Hercules (actually L-100 variant), 767-200 and many other planes, but they were always primarily a 737-200 based airline.

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LL-B) "General Ike" |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G 42-97061 LL-B General Ike" of the 401st BS/ 91st BG based in Bassingbourne UK. One of the more well known B-17's of the 91st BG, was originally assigned to the 457th BG, but came to the 91st after only 3 days there, on the 16th March 1944. The aircraft was christened by Genral Eisenhower himself, when he visited the 91st BG on 11 April 1944. The noseart was painted by Cpl. Tony Starcer, with the lettering being done by Cpl. Elvis White. Both artists signed their work, though Cpl White's name later disappeared from the aircraft. Eisenhower liked the painting, but remarked to Cpl Starcer that his eyes were not blue-grey at all. "General Ike" survived the war and returned to Kingman Az, where she was scrapped. On its 65th mission, prop 3 started windmilling and sheared off, hitting the fuselage just below the co-pilots feet, but the only damaged was to the noseart, which was quickly repainted by Cpl Starcer. "General Ike" flew many missions as lead ship, because, as Capt John Davis said after returning from its 21st mission: "She's a mighty sweet plane, not too hot or fast, she moves steadily along. You don't want a fast aircraft for group lead."Ike" gets you over the target and brings you back again", which she did, again and again until the end of the war.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

| AIR LLOYD ( Germany ) MBB BO 105 CBS5 D-HBWH |
|
File Description:
This Zip-file includes a repaint of the D-HBWH, witch is courently flying for Air-LLOYD (Deutsche Helicopter Flugservice GmbH)
The helicopter is a MBB BO105CBS-5 [c/n S-929, Baujahr 1997] with short rotorhead.
The Helicopter is Used for detecting leaks in gas lines in Germany. For this operation there are several build in sensors of the ADLARES system (gas detecting by laser measurement )mounted on the Helicopter
Within this Repaint you get an new Airfile with more realistic Flight-Dynamics.
The Repaint based on the BO 105 by Güther Krämer and should work with FS2004 and FS2002
If you havent any BO 105 from Güther Krämer you can download a BO 105- Pack with Sound, Panel and a lot of other Repaints at www.va-luftrettung.de or from Günther Krämers the Website (www.gkflusi.de)

| FRF-Studio Pittsburgh International Airport AFCAD2 Update |
|
File Description:
I have modified FRF-Studio's Pittsburgh International Airport scenery to make it more realistic. All the gates at the E concourse are removed (E is now extra security checkpoints), and US Airways' C gates are now fair game, and not assigned to them. Using PIT's website, www.flypittsburgh.com, as an aid, I corrected some assignments to gates, and have even added some airlines' RON gates. The cargo gates are wrong, and have been placed where they belong, and are correctly assigned. Gates on the ramp next to 10C-28C are now GA Large gates, but if you have a lot of AI, you can change them to normal gates with AFCAD2. The runways have not been touched, because when was the last time you've seen a 32 takeoff or a 14 landing?!? You will need FRF-Studio's PIT scenery for best results.

| King Khaled Military City, Hafr Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia (OEKK) |
|
File Description:
FS2004 AFCAD for OEKK - King Khaled Military City - Hafr Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia. In FS9 default scenery, this is a runway only, so I've added all the missing ramps and taxiways, based on Google Earth satellite photos and coordinate readings. Parking spots are for 38 MIL_COMBAT (26m), 4 CARGO (36-50m), 4 Civ/Mil parking (31-38m), 3 Civilian Gate (31-44m). Parking codes are set for RSF F15 F16 EUFI and M000-M003 in the mil_combat spaces only. Ed Kooymans' flightplans send the occasional visitor to this base (ARSAF E-3 AWACS, C-130s, Saudia 757 Flying-Hospital) and you will now be able to see these parked or taxiing. You will need to write your own flightplans to really bring it to life: a circuit OEKM-OEJN-OETB-OEKK-OEDR-OERY patrols the coasts and borders.

| PMDG B1900C and B1900D Thumbnails for Aircraft Menu |
|
File Description:
Info: I took the liberty of creating thumbnails for the PMDG B1900C and B1900D official liveries as downloaded from the PMDG website. These were created from 1600x1200 screen-captures and reduced in size to 256x192x24-bit thumbnails. I know the recommendation is 256x128 but these seem to work great and keep the aspect ratio as well. Each thumbnail is saved in the proper texture folder as named by each livery auto-installer. Instructions: Manually copy over your PMDG B1900C and/or B1900D aircraft from FS9 to FSX as described in the PMDG forum thread. Supplied in two seperate zips, B1900C & B1900D, extract each zip to the root of your FSX directory with "use pathnames" enabled. Such as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FSX. Again, the texture folder names were derived from the PMDG Livery auto-installers and have not been changed.

| British Airways Winter 2007/08 |
|
File Description:
British Airways flightplans for December 2007. These flightplans are 100% correct, and are the most realistic British Airways flightplans available. All aircraft are split by which terminal they operate from at Heathrow (i.e. All Miami flights use the same two 747s), enabling you to have all flights operating from the correct terminals. All 777 flights are operated by their correct aircraft, with regards to engine type and seating configurations. The correct 10 777's (VIIA/B/C/D/E/F/O/P/R/T) are based at Gatwick. All 747's operate the correct routes with regards to seating configurations. The short haul and long haul configured 767s are also split and operate the correct routes. A320 flights are split by engine type and operate the correct routes accordingly. Special Livery file also included. See readme for more information!
