Union Island TVSU in the Grenadines, eastern Caribbean Version 1.1 Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
This is a self-contained version 1.1 that modifies the terrain flattens around the airport. I found that suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the Lesser Antilles mesh and my flattens were at war and creating hills within the airport boundary. If you are not having problems then you do not need this.

Union Island is in the southern tail of the chain of islands known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, between Canouan and Carriacou. Union is another small island, 3.5 miles long and at its widest 1.5 miles wide; the resident population is around 3,000, mostly in the two towns Clifton and Ashton. The airport is at the eastern end of the island, and has been extended into the sea on landfill. The runway is now around 2,480 feet long, aligned 08 (and with the southeast trade winds it is unlikely that you will find yourself using 26) and with a displaced threshold of 530 feet due to the hill to the west. The terminal is adjacent to a rather small apron; there is parking on the grass north of the taxiway. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. The airport has no lighting, and flights are obliged to land and depart in daylight hours only, outside of which the airport is closed.

Mustique TVSM in the Grenadines Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Mustique island is one of the northernmost of the group of islands known as the Grenadines, just south of Bequia. Mustique is a small island, less than 3 miles long and even at its widest less than a mile wide; as a result the resident population is less than 500. The island is unique in that it is owned by a company. The company is owned, in its turn, by the owners of the 100 or so private villas on the island. The Queen of England is one owner; her participation is balanced out by Jeremy Clarkson.

The airport is at the northern end of the island; the runway is around 3,240 feet long, aligned 09 (and with the southeast trade winds it is most unlikely that you will ever find yourself using 27) and with a steep and displaced threshold of over 900 feet. The displaced threshold is shown but unfortunately FS9 is not capable of coping with anything other than a prefectly flat airport. The terminal is a steel-framed shed with cladding, but is "quaintly" transformed with a palm frond roof etc. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. The airport has no lighting, and flights are obliged to land and depart in daylight hours only, outside of which the airport is closed.

Z19O - Hamat Airbase - Batroun, Lebanon Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Hamat is a village near the coast of Lebanon, around 25 miles north of Beirut. The airport runway was built during the civil war to the west of Hamat in the late 1970's, between Hamat and another village called Wuajh Al Hajar. The intention was have an alternative to Beirut airport, which could be (and often was) closed by shell fire from any or all of the sides involved in the civil war, or by bombing by those who were not directly part of the civil war but occasionally joined in. It has been used for drag racing, occasional freefall parachuting (this may continue) and is now an army base with mostly helicopter use. The runway is around 5,600 feet of asphalt, 90 feet wide and aligned 02/20. There is no lighting. The apron is set well back from the runway and has hangars at each end; one set is four hangars long, and at the other end of the apron there are three hangars. There are also the remains of some radar to the west of the apron, bombed (in 1982?). The runway has been repositioned and the surrounding landclass modified to reduce one village to it's approximate actual size and to create a second village which was missing entirely. An intrusive road has been deleted, and the airfield grass area also modified.

Gulf Air Airbus A330-243 (Formula 1 c/s) Download

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!

VAKE Kandla/Gandhidham, India Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Googly scenery for VAKE Kandla/Gandhidham - a small domestic airport in the state of Gujurat, India, for which little other than a runway is provided in Flight Simulator 2004. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons, buildings and other airport features, so that you and your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner. Gandhidham is a small city about 5 miles from the seaport of Kandla, in the Gulf of Kutch, and was developed in 1950 after the separation of Pakistan and India left the key port of Karachi in Pakistan. The airport is served by daily flights using turboprop aircraft of Air Deccan. The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects and add-on libraries so will not look exactly like the real thing. You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries, but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine, with or without.

Frozen & Landable Lakes & Rivers for All Canada Winter Ski Operations Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
This "freezes" ALL Canadian lakes and rivers for winter flying and means they can be landed on with skis or wheels. This edition covers all of Canada plus parts of the USA along the border, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. It is reversible with an "untick" in the FS scenery library. I have spent some time making sure that the sea and the inlets along the coast do not get frozen too, and also some of the lakes that are close to the coast and rarely get cold enough to freeze over. Along the north shore I went for the peak of the winter with sea ice all the way to the permanent polar cap; this is not totally realistic as there is usually a partially open lead along the coast, but this would be difficult to replicate convincingly. This is really for use with Ultimate Terrain, though it will work without it. The pics show Rockcliffe in the winter with the frozen Ottawa River for real and in FS for comparison; without UT the river would not be in the right place.

Colorado Lakes Project II Download

File Description:
This project features the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and adds over 300 highly detailed lakes to the central portion of western Colorado. Three reservoirs, named for corresponding dams on the Gunnison River, form the heart of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Panoramic mesas, fjord-like reservoirs, and deep, steep and narrow canyons abound. Blue Mesa Reservoir is Colorado's largest body of water, and is the largest Kokanee Salmon fishery in the United States. Morrow Point Reservoir is the beginning of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and below it is Crystal Reservoir. These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh. All lake information was projected from satellite imagery and compiled with a beta version of Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast" utility. Much thanks to Holger Sandmann and Jim Keir for their help and advice on interpreting the satellite data properly.

New Alternate Roads for FlightOne "USRoads" Download

File Description:
USA Roads" is a software add-on for MS Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) marketed by Flight One Software, Inc. and Scenery Solutions. It replaces the default roads and highways which are sparse and only approximate in location, with correctly placed roads, down to the street level. It has been said by some that "US Roads" look unrealistic, like looking at a Road-Map, because the roads are too bright and clean. In real life the roads are darker and partially concealed by vegetation. I have spent hours looking at aerial photos on the net, and was surprised at how "US Roads" looks very realistic, especially when comparing FS "top-down" views with map-type color photos. The light color roads are very prominent in the pictures, as are the clean lines. In my new "Alternate US Roads", I have modified the various roads using different methods, including actual road photographs, changes in road color and brightness, and the use of irregular transparency to soften the lines and give the illusion of vegetation partially obscuring the roadse. Most textures use images adapted from "US Roads" by kind permission of the author. Extract to a temporary file, and follow the ReadMe!

FS2004-FS2002: Nick's Touchdown and Vortex FX Download

File Description:
HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT!! When those big boys touch down they don’t just chirp -n-smoke the tires... that pillow of air under those wings has to go somewhere. With Nicks Touchdown and Vortex FX's you get to see it and if you’re close enough to the action, choke on it as well!! The provided touchdown and vortex FX's are designed for all weather conditions and usually enhance wet pavement landings. Three custom scaled FX files cover large scale military and civilian transports, Airbus, 777's, 747's, 737's, MD's, 727's along with large and small Lear jets. Users of Nicks Prop Dust can also use Nick's Touchdown with Vortex FX to enhance their LARGE prop aircraft on dry asphalt and concrete runways. Installation requires running the auto-installer and making a minor edit to the aircraft.cfg file. After a great flight wouldn’t it be nice to end it with the realistic WoooooooOOSH that Microsoft left out of Flight Simulator? Now you can be BLOWN AWAY with every touchdown! You can also add this FX to all your AI traffic as well. ENJOY! From Nick Needham [email protected]

Installation of functional yokes to 2D Panels Download

File Description:
Movable yokes for 2D panels (primarily for use at add-on aircraft). Noted that many aircraft 2D panels are missing the functional yokes. These yokes can be easily installed to aircraft panels, and opened with the button (marked 'Yoke' in yellow - installed to the panel}. The yoke opens in the middle of the screen but can then be dragged to any most realistic panel location preferable not obscuring the essential instruments. The flight can then be saved with the yoke in this position. To see the instruments behind, the yoke can always be closed by pressing the yellow button. The 18 included yokes are intended for the cockpits of: B-17, B-24, B-29, B-52, B707, B737, B747-777, B757-767, Beachcraft, Cessna, Concorde, DC8-9, Douglas props, Embraer, Learjet, MD11, Piper and VC10. Note that the actual yokes could be different, custom made for the different airlines and different aircraft types, therefore some of these might just partially resemble the authentic yokes used in these types. All included yokes can also be used for any other aircraft panels as deemed appropriate. Finally Many Thanks to all the 'free download' aircraft panel designers, great jobs!
