File Description:
I designed this for myself to darken the default User Interface for 2 reasons. I have bad eyes that are sensitive to bright objects on the screen, and I like to fly the simulator in the evening hours with the lights turned off in the room. I hope you like my end result. I also added 2 bonus features. Instead of hearing the Windows/Internet Explorer click sound when you mouse click on a menu item, you now will hear the "Fasten Seatbelts" sound effect. Be sure to back up the original sound "checkc" in case you find the new sound annoying. Secondly, I have included 4 optional Aircraft Viewer images that give the selected aircraft a more airborne look. I will make switching these simple by adding them to the Generic Mod Enabler(JSGME) that I will include in the download. The look is created using Diamond Plate and Polished Aluminum textures, and modifying the buttons with some more color. This is Freeware, and I am giving permission to anyone that wants to create their own and upload to any site they wish. I do not wish that you have to mention my name in any credits.

| Iran Air (circa 1962) default Douglas DC3 |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of the FS2004 default DC3 in the Iran Air early days livery. Iran Air came about in 1962, after Iranian Airways and Persian Air Services were joined together, taking the name of Iran National Airlines (internationally known as Iran Air). Iranian Airways had been the first Iranian flag carrier, when it was formed in 1944.
In a few years, with a fleet of 17 mostly DC-3 aircraft, Iran Air had both domestic and international routes covering many major Middle East cities.It soon built a large route map consisting of flights all over the Middle East, to Northern Africa, Europe and New York, and including a dense domestic flight schedule.
The first planes used by the company were the Avro York, DC-3, DC-6 and Vickers Viscount types.
Since I only had two very small B&W (or rather Brown and Yellow!) photos of IR DC3's, I've done my best to make the repaint look
as real as possible, hope that you'll like it.

File Description:
This started out a simple project, and has ended up in fleet production. Thanks go out to Allen at AIG for the tail numbers.
Thanks to Stuart for pointing out the typo in the flight sim entry file. This typo pertained to the yellow rudder Airborne paint, so for new guys, use it.
This pack contains the red and gray tail Airborne Express SF version with large side cargo door.
I do not know if all these have been converted, and I am not going looking to find out. Allen at AIG thinks they have, so, those guys would know.
I have included a new voice mod so the entry will read ABEX.
And that is all it will say.
One semi custom light map for all paints, borrowed from Boris.
Not really, it was made by me.
I hope someone would throw out some flight plans.
Please look at the readmes, just brief over them, please.
Questions and comments are welcome.
Thanks Allen for all the information provided.

| DX10 Shader Fixers V3.2.3 |
|
File Description:
DX10 Shader Fixes V3.2.3. These are a set of shader fixes for DX10 Preview mode in FSX. The patch should not effect DX9 in any way. It addresses the following bugs in the DX10 preview:
1) Flashing runways/taxiways
2) Yellow/white runway markings transparency
3) Opaque chain fences
4) Progressive Taxi markings missing
5) Missing night scenery/semi-transparent dusk scenery (often misdescribed as missing night textures)
6) Some addon cars with black headlights
7) Softer VC shadow
8) Eliminates false sun on VC roof and side wall
9) ORBX FTX Global lights with black background rectangles fixed
Also included are an optional replacement water shade, aircraft lights package and an optional replacement background texture. This can replace the light blue DX10 uses and is close to what DX9 uses in the same circumstances.
With Steve Parson's permission I have updated the shader_release_v3.2.2 patch to shader_release_v3.2.3 to now include a fix for DX10 ORBX FTX Global Lights.

| FSX/P3D Alisarda DC-9-14 1974 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-9-14 in Alisarda colors. The freeware Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations' (George Arana) DC-9-10 native FSX conversion with VC, of Erick Cantu's DC-9-10, is needed for this repaint (Link provided). The textures are 32bit DDS. It was tested on FSX-SE, but should work on FSX & P3Dv3. Alisarda took purchase of two DC-9-14s from Delta Airlines, I-SARJ and I-SARV, both of which were delivered on 11 January 1974. These DC-9-14s were among the first Douglas produced DC-9s that were delivered to Delta Airlines in 1966. With 88 seats and a much longer reach than the Fokker F-27s, the DC-9s were used for charter flights to West Germany. A new color scheme was also introduced with the introduction of the DC-9s. The green with white was replaced by a red with blue and yellow color scheme. In addition to the two DC-9s, the only remaining F-27; I-SARQ, was also equipped with this new color scheme. The DC-9s were eventually replaced by leased DC-9-50s in 1981.

| Boeing B-17G "Sally B" G-BEDF |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the FSX Wings of Power II Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, in the markings of "Sally B", the UK's last remaining airworthy B-17. One of the last Flying Fortress built at the Lockheed-Vega plant in Burbank, California, this aircraft was delivered new to the USAAF on June 19, 1945. Later, it was operated as a mapping surveyor in France before being brought to England in March 1975. In 1982, Ted White, the man who was responsible for bringing the aircraft to England, was tragically killed when his Harvard crashed at an air rally in Malta. In memory of Ted White, the inner starboard cowling will always be painted in yellow and black checkers, the same way Ted White's Harvard cowling was painted. For the past 31 years, "Sally B" has continued to fly, under the leadership of Elly Sallingboe and with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers. In 1990, "Sally B" played lead role in the movie "Memphis Belle," and continues to wear the same scheme she did during filming, with the exception of the Sally B nose art and checkered cowling.

| North American AT-6 Harvard (N3405) |

File Description:
This is a repaint for the freeware Warwick "Wozza" Carter AT-6G Texan. This repaint depicts the restored Harvard Mk.4 RCAF Ser. 20405, N3405, registered to Yellow Canuck, LLC (Texas Flying Legends Museum). This aircraft began service with the Royal Canadian AF in 1952 and served until 1965. Although little information is readily available, it was reported that as of 1978, the aircraft was being stored, in original military configuration, in Mesa, Arizona. In about 2004 a ground-up restoration began in North Dakota and around 2011/2012 the aircraft was brought to Aircorps Aviation of Bemidji, Minnesota for completion. The aircraft has since been delivered to its current owner, painted in its original RCAF colors, and is an absolutely immaculate and authentic restoration throughout. The aircraft is one of 11 warbirds that the Texas Flying Legends Museum will be flying to Airventure 2013. This repaint includes all new exterior textures (including specular and bump maps), new engine and modified wheel well textures, and new and modified cockpit textures throughout. This repaint requires the files t6texmod.zip and fsds_t-6update.zip to be installed first.

| Iqaluit CYFB 2010 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Founded in 1942 as an American airbase, Iqaluit is now the capital city of the northern Canadian province of Nunavut. It is the smallest Canadian capital in terms of population and the only capital that is not connected to other settlements by a highway. The airport is of critical importance to the community, especially when ice makes boat travel impossible. At 62 degrees latitude (approx. the same as Yellowknife), Iqualuit offers some of the most severe weather you are likely to encounter at any airport, and has been used for cold weather testing of new airliners.
This version of Iqaluit is a complete rebuild of the default version. Almost all the buildings have been custom modeled based on photos. The design of the terminal building at Iqaluit is one of the coolest I've seen, and was the main inspiration for making this scenery. Due to its complexity many details had to be omitted, but hopefully I was able to at least capture some of its "Yellow Submarine" uniqueness. Ramp lights, fences, ground objects, arrestor cables (non-functional) and all the rest of the usual junk is included. Also Instrument Approach Plates.

| Default Terminal Buildings Subset V2 scenery objects |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
[Version 2 adds specific compatibility with RWY12, ADE9X, and Sbuilder 2.05. If you have already installed the previous version of this library and are NOT using one of these programs to place scenery objects, you do not need to download and install V2.] Many scenery making programs for FS9 give us access to the default terminal buildings in the FS9 libraries. Unfortunately the FS9 libraries are completely unorganized, so finding a specific shape and color of building can be time consuming. Also, many of the terminal buildings are too distinctive in appearance to be of much use to someone who is looking for simple shapes to use as "building blocks" to create their own terminals. I went through most of the FS9 scenery libraries that contain terminal buildings and chose a representative sampling of simple shapes in the various textures that are available, and compiled these into a scenery object library. This makes it easier to find, say, a two story, T-shaped, yellow textured terminal building. These are not new objects, they are default scenery objects created and owned by Microsoft. I'm simply providing a more convenient way to use them. Previous version had 9300(!) downloads.
