| LAPA Namc YS-11 Combi (Red) |
|
File Description:
India India in LAPA red livery.When in September 1979 Austral ceased operations with the Namcs, LAPA (Lineas Aereas Privadas Argentinas) an emergent commuter airline, bought the three planes and obtained the governmental license to exploit the forsaken routes left by Austral. With a new livery, and an agressive advertising campaign, the Namcs based at SABE, begun flights to Gral. Pico, Gral. Roca, La Plata, Mar del Plata, Necochea and Pehuajo. Despite a promising beginning, such routes were not profitable at the end, and the planes flew with a coefficient of occupation of only 21%, too low to keep the Namcs on the air. LAPA then, decided to halt the YS-11 and to replace them with the smaller Shorts 330. By the end of 1981, the Namcs were made available to the market, and bought by Mid-Pacific Air, concluding fourteen years of presence of the Namcs in Argentina. Included in this file there's a version of the YS-11 Combi fitted with the external Apu kit, done by Esa Kaihlanen of the AFG team. Textures only for the AFG's Namc YS-11 V2.7 Combi Configuration (ys-11combi.zip).

| "Twenty Thousand Miles in a Flying-boat", by Sir Alan Cobham |
|
File Description:
In 1927, Sir Alan Cobham, pioneer of aerial refuelling and adventuring aviator, undertook a survey flight around Africa. He was accompanied by his wife, Gladys, and four crewmen: Worrall, the second pilot; Green and Conway, engineers; and Bonnett, cameraman.
The aircraft was a Short S.5 Singapore MkI, a twin-engined, single-fin, open cockpit version of the later four-engine, triple-finned, closed-cockpit Singapore MkIII which entered RAF service. There was only ever one MkI and when Cobham completed his journey it was returned to the Air Ministry, who had loaned it to Sir Alan.
The adventurers departed Rochester, on the River Medway, in the morning of 17th. November 1927 and returned in May of 1928,after a trip of over 20,000 air-miles and one which involved numerous trials and tribulations, delays and frustrations.
The book, published in 1931, provides in-depth detail of the flight so what I've done with this package is to create a blog that will provide updates for each day of the journey undertaken by Cobham and crew.

| KLM Douglas DC-3 PK-ALW |
|
File Description:
After the occupation of the
Netherlands in May 1940 several KLM DC-3's got stuck in the
Dutch East Indies. One of them was PH-ALW 'Wielewaal'
('Oriole'). Although the DC-3 was operated as PK-ALW by
KNILM from 1 June 1940 on, she was still owned by KLM and
as such flew the shortened "Indies-route" Batavia to Lydda
(Palestine, by then under British mandate). On 7 March 1942
PK-ALW was the last civil aircraft to leave the Dutch East
Indies when the Japan invaded the island archipel. From
then on the aircraft continued its career in Australia,
first as a military aircraft and after the war as an
airliner, registered VH-INR. The DC-3 still exists (2007) as a static
museumpiece of the Queensland Air Museum in Caloundra,
Queensland. The repaint of PK-ALW is based on the templates
Mark Beaumont created for the MAAM-SIM Douglas DC-3
(passenger version), which were based on Jan Visser's
original textures. This repaint has not been tested for FSX
but will probably function there as well. Repaint by
Maarten Brouwer.

| Qatar Airways A330-300 'Al 'Ramlia' - Doha 2006 |
|
File Description:
A7-AEF (cn 721) "Al Ramlia" (Version 1.0). After I did the A7-AEG a couple of months ago, it sounded logical this one would follow soon. Since I've been busy doing Wilco's Volume 2 330's it took a little longer... Anyway, here she is : A hand drawn recreation of the CLS A330-302 in Qatar Airways Doha 2006 special livery (yellow/orange). This particular plane was delivered to Qatar Airways exactly two years ago (17 february 2006) and has 'The games of your life' titles on the aft section of the fuselage. I am also repainting the A7-AEE, which too is yellow but with 'Let the spirit move you' titles. You will be able to download these textures from our website, along with future updates/fixes. As always, this repaint is dirty, weathered, worn down and torn up. I redid the windows, as well as the nighttextures. These are textures only and intended for use on the Commercial Level Simulations Airbus A330 package. Installation is easy via the livery manager or if you please ; manually. Fly safe, land safe and enjoy the paint!

| Gulf Air Airbus A330-243 (Formula 1 c/s) |
|
File Description:
A9C-KB (cn 281), version 1. Hand drawn recreation of the CLS A330-243 in Gulf Air's F1 livery, promoting the Formula 1 race that's going to be held at the new circuit in the beginning of April. It took Mr. Bader Murad and Gulf Air 5 years to get the livery from the drawing board onto the plane. Not like most of my other repaints, this particular repaint is rather clean, since no matter what I did, I couldn't rough her up alot without rendering the many layers to come up with the desertgrey/goldish/champagne colour useless. I did add some custom features like depress. panels and fuselage rivets to give it a realistic look and weathered the fuselage just a little. If you check above the windows and between the L2 and L3 doors, you can even see Mr. Bader's signature, just like on the real plane. These are textures only and intended for use on the Commercial Level Simulations Airbus A330 package. Installation is easy via the CLS livery manager or if you please ; even manually. Fly safe, land safe and enjoy the paint!

| Camden Field in Trinidad |
|
File Description:
Camden Field was once a wartime American airfield, which shows up in the wide east-west runway that has more recently been partly resurfaced. There are no runway markings beyond a centre line, and it just sort of tapers off at the sides and the eastern end into the bush. In contrast to the renovated hangar to the north of the western end of the runway the buildings to the south haven't been touched by any recent tender-loving-care. There is a wonderful patched-together shed and a small control tower, which was built on the edge of the existing runway. This makes it appear rather close to the edge of the resurfaced runway area. Do not be fooled, this is not an illusion; it IS close to the edge of the runway. Just take comfort in the thought that the prevailing southeast winds (for much of the year) will tend to blow you away from it as you approach for a landing from the west. And I kept the pre-renovation version of the old hangar when I found some old pics of the crop dusting operation from five years ago.

| Astraeus/Iron Maiden 2009 "Ed Force One" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
My version of the Captain Sim 757 Astraeus/Iron Maiden "ED FORCE ONE" livery is based on the Iron Maiden 2009 world tour paint scheme. I've tried to made the plane as accurate as possible based on various photos found on the internet. The text isn't 100% accurate, but overall I feel it's a very good likeness. I modified the back half of the plane to represent the cargo section of the plane and also modified the night textures to match. Since the paint kit doesn't actually represent the -23A model, I've done my best to give the plane the visual feel of a -23A model.. with that said, the doors located just behind the wings were drawn by hand and are NOT animated. As a bonus I've included a couple extras to make the Captain Sim 757 experience even better. First, I've included the "intelliscene.cfg" file used with the payware utility "AES - Airport-Enhancement-Services" and second I've included the text to add the "ASA 3D Lights" Addon to the external lighting. Both Payware utilities and the payware Captain Sim 757 are required.

| Kenmore Village Field CF08 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kenmore Village Field is in Ontario, at the northwest corner of the village of Kenmore. Kenmore is around 13 miles southeast of Ottawa airport and 3 miles east of Bank Farm Field. The village doesn't appear in FS as it is too small, but I have recreated it based on the roads that show in Ultimate Terrain. There is a grass runway 09/27 (actually 086/266) that is 3,100 feet long, and the grass is good, and with lights. The field is owned by a gentleman in his mid 70's who sold his plane five years ago and less than two years later discovered that he really didn't want to give up flying; he then went out and bought another slightly older and cheaper version of the one he sold. The house is in a direct line with the runway approach from the east; try to miss it. There is a large hangar and workshop behind the house and to the north of the runway center line, and a second older hangar on the same side a bit further along, both modeled specifically for this.

File Description:
This scenery covers the southwestern part of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. From the air
you can see all the "stairs" from the Pink Cliffs of Bryce Canyon in the north down to the Grey Cliffs,
the White Cliffs and the Vermillion Cliffs just north of Kanab and then the Chocolate Cliffs further south.
Nothwest of Kanab you can fly above beautiful Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park which features coral-hued
sand dunes located beside red sandstone cliffs. These dunes consist of sand that formed thru erosion of
pink colored Navajo Sandstone surrounding the park and was deposited by wind. To explore the scenery depart
from Kanab Airport (KKNB).
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads)
are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_South3West4.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 Jesper, Fabrizio and Glen.

File Description:
FS2004 PIA Boeing 777-240ER. Pakistan International Airlines PIA B777-240LR v2, registration AP-BGZ, utilizing Project Open Sky 777-200 v2 model. It wears PIA's new livery, which will now be re-introduced to the entire PIA fleet in place of the provincial tail designs. While the basic livery remains the same, there is a golden stripe now under the green one, and the tail wears a large version of the Pakistani flag. The engine casings have the Urdu PIA logo on them. Part of the livery was to have 'PAKISTAN' written on the belly, but this aircraft does not have that yet and so it has not been added to the repaint to keep it as close as possible to the real thing. Features full POSKY virtual cockpit, with latest updates and custom sound. Contains ground service vehicles, tow truck, catering trucks, stairs, luggage loaders and containers custom painted in standard PIA colors. Updated . mdl and FDE. Complete pack, requires no external downloads. Textures in high quality 32 bit format. Repaint by Irfan Khan, with special thanks to Abdullah Rahman and Ahmed Ahsen exclusively from Virtual PIA.
