| Find ICAO in BGL-files |
|
File Description:
Data about airports and navaids (among others) are contained in binary files - generally in ...\scenery\*.bgl files in FS9 as well as in FSX. Apart from simple modifications of such data, which are possible using the AFCAD 2 AddOn tool, changes of parameters at a specified location have to be made within one of the bgl files mentioned by disassembling, re-writing and re-compiling them. As there exist hundreds of these files in the simulation program, it is not easy to find the correct one for a modification of the corresponding data.

| Air India Boeing 777-237LR (VT-ALA) "New Colors" |
|
File Description:
I am very proud to present this, the first aircraft to wear the absolutely beautiful new Air India livery. It is a new Boeing 777-237LR, registration VT-ALA, to be delivered to Air India from Boeing in April or May of 2007. This B777-237LR is also to be the first bearing an Indian state name. The state name 'Andhra Pradesh' appears on the fuselage just below the red cheat line. Air India is one of 2 national flag carrier airlines of India. With the forthcoming merger of Air India and Indian Airlines in 2007, India's two national flag carriers will become one.
Many of the logos on this aircraft are hand painted. I paid attention to detail and realism as much as possible. The fuselage, engine and tail textures in this repaint are 32-bit. This is a complete install; MelJet B777-200 model and air files included. Uses default 777 panel and sounds. I hope you enjoy flying this as much as I enjoyed painting it.

| Air New Zealand Airbus A320-232 v1.1 |
|
File Description:
iFDG is proud to present the Airbus A320. The aircraft model includes most of the standard features including animated control surfaces, wingviews, flaps, full lighting configuration, and highly detailed, reflective textures. "The A320 was launched on March 2, 1984. It is the first subsonic commercial aircraft with fly-by-wire controls. First flight took place on February 22, 1987. The A320-100 was the initial version and was superseded by the A320-200 from the third quarter of 1988. The A320-200 differs from the A320-100 in having wingtip fences, a wing center-section fuel tank, and a higher MTOW. This package features ZK-OJF, A brand new A320-232 of Air New Zealand. v1.1 removes the small green line under the port wing(left accidentally), adds the effects folder for those who don't have it and corrects the sound folder name so the sounds will work correctly without editing. This is a full package rather than just an update as I thought that would be more convenient and less confusing for the majority of users.

| Piaggio P-166A |
|
File Description:
The second of the coming P-166 aircraft series. I'm going to built the whole family of these graceful twins.
The Piaggio P-166A is a light small twin. An Exotic two-engined prop that sold all over the world including America, UK, and Australia. Its origin is traced Back to the Piaggio P-136, a light anphibian, wich the P-166 keeps the wings, the engines and the tailplanes. The first P-166A flew in November 1957. The aircraft is still in production in a slightly modified turboprop version, the P-166D-P1.
This model is 788 Kbs with c.a. 23000 polygons in c.a.170 assemblies. (see something in common with the previous one? YES: 99%...) Features Clickable Dynamic VC with non-planar throttle quadrant. Detailed internals. Fully compatible with FS 2002 (pro edition)
Not said about the M version!! The flight Dynamics is based on real data, provided by Piaggio Itself: control surfaces, engines, weights, etc...
Paints:
1)FIAT - I-NCAS
2)AGIP Mineraria I-MINT
3)Papuan Airlines VH-PND
4)Northrop corp. - N7651E

| AES configuration file for the SSTSIM Concorde |
|
File Description:
AES configuration file for the payware SSTSIM Concorde. Docking gates or mobile air stairs will connect with the left forward door. This is the only door that I activated for this file. Tested only with the production models - not tested with pre-production or prototype models. Requires Airport Enhancement Services from Aerosoft. Please note the following: - 1) Due to a limitation with AES, catering service vehicles will not align properly with the right forward door. In AES, its position is deduced from the position of the LEFT door, which with this product, as with the real aircraft, is a few feet further toward the rear. Therefore the gate/stairs willl align properly, but the catering truck driver will miss the mark. 2) I chose not to include baggage vehicles as the forward cargo doors are in an awkward position under the fuselage, and the rear door is too high to be reached properly by the AES baggage vehicles. 3) None of the cargo doors operate on this model anyway.

| Isles of Scilly Skybus de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of the excellent de Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter AI Model V.2 by Henry Tomkiewicz. Isles of Scilly Skybus is a British airline which operates seasonal and year round domestic scheduled services to the Isles of Scilly from various airports in south west England. The airline's main operating base is Land's End Airport (LEQ), whilst their head office is located in nearby Penzance, both in the county of Cornwall. The airline was established in March 1984 and started operations in August 1984. Isles of Scilly Skybus originated as an air charter operator at Land's End aerodrome which operated high frequency services to the Isles of Scilly. Following the withdrawal of Brymon Airways routes to and from the islands the operator stepped in, initially operating services to Plymouth. This route was later dropped but with the addition of Twin Otter aircraft the route network expanded to its current make-up. It is wholly owned by Isles of Scilly Steamship Company who also run the passenger ferry, Scillonian III, and freight services from Penzance to the Islands.

File Description:
Italian Air Force Lockheed F-104 Starfighter (Part 1), aka the Zipper, Coffin Nail, Widowmaker, Flying Coffin, or Missile with a Man in It; in untrained hands it resembles a lawn dart, as nicknamed by the Canadians. I present a comprehensive AI traffic model package for this hotrod of military jet history. Going into production in 1955, this aircraft was manufactured, directly or by license, by 6 countries, and served the air forces of 17 countries. Late examples served until 2004, nearly fifty years after its introduction. An original 7-LOD model brings this historic aircraft to the flightsim world. This 2-part package represents the Lockheed F-104 in the service of the Italian Air Force; with a total of 40 models and 164 repaints. Aircraft models covered are the F-104G, RF-104G, TF-104G, F-104S (both fighter-bomber and air superiority variants), and the F-104ASA. I am also including some optional variants with separate manual install instructions. Original aircraft model and textures by Michael Pearson, flight dynamics by Michael MacIntyre.

| A.V.I.A. L.3 (Part 1) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The L.3 was a partially failed attempt to create a very simple and cheap monoplane trainer, better suited to the entire basic training syllabus of Regia Aronautica pilots from 1940 onwards. This open cockpit version was also adopted for 'lead in' training, by the Croatian Air Force, and eventually the Luftwaffe, and by the A.N.R. for assault glider pilot training. Some also served as 'unit hacks' during WW2. Full details are in the supplied contextual history.
This release (Part 1) provides two open cockpit MDLs, with different landing gear, many relevant liveries, a combined contextual history of both the open and closed cabin versions, and an illustrated Student Training Manual to allow realistic simulation of the wartime Axis 'lead in' training syllabus. The Part 2 of this release will later feature the enclosed cabin version.
VC only. It also works subject to some limitations within in FSX. GMax Models and Skins by Manuele Villa, Flight dynamics by FSAviator. By Manuele Villa/MVG3D, January 2015.

| "Himalayan Peaks" LOD10 Mesh, Volume 8 - Tirich Mir and Pamir |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Highly detailed terrain mesh of the Tirich Mir and Pamir areas, N36-39 E71-74. The files in this package are based on Shuttle Radar (SRTM) Version 2 data but with many of the void areas, especially the most significant sections, filled with elevation data generated from topographic maps by Jonathan de Ferranti. While Jonathan's work is unrelated to flight simulation he kindly gave me permission to compile his data for use in FS. The result is a wonderful improvement in detail and accuracy over any existing mesh file, freeware or commercial, based on SRTM or DTED data alone.
Due to the large area of the Himalayas I've compiled the source data as two separate series: the "Himalayan Peaks" series covers prominent mountains and ranges in higher detail and locally overrides any existing LOD9 terrain mesh. In addition, a LOD9 "base mesh" series covering the entire Himalayas will be available for those who do not yet have an add-on terrain mesh of these beautiful mountains.
