Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class
Land classification, or land class (NOT "landclass"), is how Flight Simulator depicts the ground textures. For much of the FS world, the ground is not representative of the real thing, however. There have been complaints because of this from those who do not understand the cause of the problem.
This document explains the basic concepts behind the land class system, why it is inevitably inaccurate for most of the world, and the very easy-to-use tools with which to fix this.
Also includes instructions for modifying water class.
This is an html document for universal compatibility.
You do not have to be a computer programmer in order to change the land class. Anyone can do it quickly and easily.
So, why complain about it? Do something!
Very sorry - no support of any kind is offered for this document. Please consult the AvSim Scenery Design forum for any questions.

| Douglas VC-118-DO 'The Independence' |
|
File Description:
This Douglas VC-118-DO was the personal aircraft of President Harry S. Truman. It was named 'The Independence' after President Truman's home town in Missouri. The aircraft was delivered on 1 July 1947 and served from 4 July 1947 on as a presidential aircraft till 1953 when Gen. Dwight Eisenhower became President of the USA. It seems that the rather special paint job was based on an idea by President Truman himself. 46-0505 served on as a general VIP transport till 1966 when it was donated to the Smithonian Institute for preservation. It is on loan to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.'The Independence' could accommodate for 24 day or 12 sleeper passengers (in the main cabin). It had a luxurious State Room aft of the passenger door. Usually there was a crew of eight. It is featured here in its original tan, blue and metal livery. You will require Jens B. Kristensen's great FS2004 Douglas DC-6 (early version) (dc6_v20.zip). Original textures by Jens B. Kristensen. Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.

File Description:
Tillamook, Oregon (S47) Airport - a comprehensive enhancement - designed to work in the default FS2004 setup. Featured is the Hangar B Air Museum which houses a fine privately owned collection of restored Warbirds. Hangar B is considered to be the largest, all wooden structure in the world - built in the early 1940's to house and service Navy Blimps. Also featured is the Tillamook Air Tours charter service complete with an AI Bi-Wing Waco aircraft. There is even an option to have an AI Goodyear Blimp visit Tillamook and make sightseeing flights. Driving or slewing around the airport will reveal many other surprises! The airport, which was virtually ignored by MS, has been redone using RWY12, EZ and many custom objects. A listing of all required libraries is included and a list of those who have contributed their time and talents to this project will be found in the documentation. Please unzip to a temporary folder and follow the installation instructions very carefully. Compiled for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

File Description:
Sukhoi Su-27 aircraft for FS2004 - This File is a COMMERCIAL DEMO!!
The Sukhoi Su-27 is a one-seat Mach-2 class jet fighter originally manufactured by the Soviet Union, and designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The Su-27's basic design is aerodynamically similar to the MiG-29, but it is substantially larger. It is a very large aircraft, and to minimize its weight its structure has a high percentage of titanium (about 30%, more than any of its contemporaries). No composite materials were used. The swept wing blends into the fuselage at the leading edge extensions and is essentially a delta, although the tips are cropped for wingtip missile rails or ECM pods. The Su-27 is not a true delta, however, because it retains conventional tailplanes, with two vertical tailfins outboard of the engines, supplemented by two fold-down ventral fins for additional lateral stability..

| Trans Orient Pacific (TOPAC) Douglas DC-4 N4665V |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of one of the 2 aircraft used in the film "The High and The Mighty" (John Wayne and Robert Stack - 1954). This aircraft actually flew in this paint around Los Angeles and the bay area of southern California in November of 1953 for in-flight footage, so it's entirely fictional...but the airline was.
The original repaint was by Dave McQueen for Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4/C-54 version 2.0. I have updated it to make it compatable with the Jens' new version 2.1 (DC4_v21.zip) to use the DC-4-1009 airfile. Load your plane with 3050 gallons of fuel and balance out passengers and cargo to total 73,000 lbs. and you can duplicate flight #420 in the film! If you wish to shut down engine #1 and dump 200 gallons of fuel from the left wing and see if you can still get to San Fransico from Honolulu, that's up to you..but it is a challenge. Enjoy!This repaint requires Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4/C-54 version 2.1 (DC4_v21.zip)

Kremmling, Mc Elroy (20V), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
Ever wanted to know how the scenery looks like around Kremmling VOR? Now you got the chance! This region covers the area around Kremmling and the northern part of the Gore Range. At Kremmling the Colorado River meets both the Blue River and the Muddy Creek. West of Kremmling you can see Gore Canyon. This rugged and steep canyon is almost 1000ft deep and was carved by the Colorado River on its way thru the Gore Range.
To explore the scenery depart from Mc Elroy Airfield (20V) in Kremmling and head north. High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_West.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. Thanks to Joop Mak for providing custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Michael.

Colorado Springs South (KCOS), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
This region covers the area of Colorado Springs. Just west of the city you can fly around Pikes Peak. At 14.115ft it is the easternmost of Colorado's 54 fourteeners. Northwest of the city lies the Garden Of Gods with its many vertical rock formations. They are made of sedimentary beds red and white sandstones, conclomerates and limestone that were deposited horizontally but have been tilted vertically and faulted by the immense mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Pikes Peak massiv. Deep within Chayenne Mountain is the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) main technical facility which collects and evaluates data from a worldwide system of satellites, radars and other sensors.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_South3East.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Veit and Hector.

File Description:
Indira Gandhi International Airport (Performance) for both FSX and FS2004
The Scenery has been developed for Extreme frame rate loving/oriented Users, Friends ,who will never compromise performance in exchange of Aesthetics,('why?' is 'many'& beyond the scope of 'File description'). It does not have 3D twy edge/ctr/appr lts and other contents that are usually in my scenery like 3D grass, etc.... The AFCAD/AFX (as they call it) file has been worked to give equal/strict c/c distance. ( oh!.......... i mean center to center distance btwn lts ) avoiding all possible clutter(s) that are usually seen at twy Junctions. Basic Attraction is performance + terminal structures, interior as well as exterior. 'Click' and find out if it's worth at all.( by the way high intense graphics users using re-uploaded VIDP scenery, can surely have choice to suit their moods.....yes! i know what i just typed. (Contact me if you wish to use both sceneries at one time,....... one from here & two from there & so on.. )
