File Description:
This airbase, located about 35 NM in the west of Munich (Bavaria, South Germany),
is the homebase of JaBoG32 riding the Tornado PA200. The German flight check
department GMFS, using C-47 in the early days and thereafter Hawker-Siddeley 748
as well as HS-125 for periodic recalibration of the radar- and navigational
equipment at civil and military airfields, was also on the base till 1994.
After the final decision was made not to establish commercial air traffic although
it had been discussed for a long time period, I reworked the airbase completely.
Among other objects, 38 hardened shelters for combat aircraft have been emplaced.
The included AI-Package contains: Lockheed F-104E GAF, Panavia Tornado PA200 GAF,
Mikoyan MiG-29 GAF, Douglas C-47 GAF, Canberra B.20 GAF, Boeing E3A Nato, Boeing
KC-135 USAF and an aircraft.cfg for the MS Learjet 45.
Several F104's, Tornadoes and MiGs perform touch and goes in the local area,
a Nato E3A leaves IFR to Geilenkirchen (ETNG), an USAF KC-135 routes IFR to
Decimomannu (LIED), a Canberra B.20 (was used for high altitude validations) goes
IFR to Cologne (EDDK) high in the sky and a Learjet shoots IFR to Bremen (EDDW) per
attached flight plan.
Lago's FSE is required in order to see most of the emplaced buildings /objects.
Lets get ready to rumble, but keep in mind, don't argue with the flight checkers
if they are on duty.

| Kotzebue PAOT on the northwestern coast of Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which have good airports and are serviced by Alaska Airlines. From these airports local flights connect to nearby villages, "nearby" in Alaska meaning up to 150 miles away. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel. The town of Kotzbue is north of the Bering Strait on the northwestern coast, 320 miles southwest of Barrow. The population is just over 3,000 people. The location was for a long time a base for trading in furs, with three rivers emptying into the sea and providing routes into the interior land and villages; a meeting place between hunters and traders from Russia and elsewhere. The Kotzebue airport is called the Ralph Wien Memorial and has two runways. The modern one is aligned 08-26 and is 5,880 feet of 150 feet wide asphalt built across a shallow lagoon, with an ILS on 08 and PAPI on both ends. The second and older runway is originally military and gravel, aligned 17-35 and 3,786 feet long and used (wind allowing) by the GA planes that park alongside the runway. The prevalent wind is from the west; when the wind is from the east it is generally relatively feeble and with a much lower cloud base, possibly to the ground, hence the need for an ILS. All AI aircraft in FS9 much prefer to use a runway that has an ILS and so will continue to use 08-26 even if the wind is from the south until it reaches 30+ knots, even if they are a Cessna 150 flying VFR. So for AI realism in FS9 a northern or southern wind needs to be a strong one so that the runway is actually used. However, as Alaska Airlines, Northern Air Cargo, and Everts Air also fly to Kotzebue and can only use the east-west runway (as less than 4,000 feet of asphalt would be seriously inconvenient for a Boing 737 or DC6) it is necessary to have the northern or southern wind UNDER 30 knots at the times when they are landing or taking off. Your choice. I suppose a permanent strong wind from the west would be the most realistic on a daily basis, deterring all planes from ever using 17-35. The AI will develop along with further scenery additions in the neighbourhood.

File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which have good airports and are serviced by Alaska Airlines. From these airports local flights connect to nearby villages, "nearby" in Alaska meaning up to 200 miles away. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel. The town of Nome is south of the Bering Strait on the southern coast of the Seward Peninsula, around 185 miles south of Kotzebue, with a population of about 3,800. It is the town that led to the creation of the most famous dogsledge race in the world, the Iditarod, which is based on the delivery to Nome of diphtheria serum during the blizzard conditions of the winter of 1925. The Nome airport (it currently has no other name) was originally built as the last of the refuelling airfields for planes being ferried to Russia during WW2. It has two runways, aligned 09-27 and 02-20 in FS9 (the wandering magnetic north has recently renamed the magnetic headings) and both of them around 6,000 feet with an ILS on 27. There is a modern airport layout diagram included showing taxiway names etc. Alaska Airlines, ERA, and Bering Air (which is headquartered in Nome), along with the shared cargo terminal for Northern Air Cargo and Everts Air, are all on the southern apron. The northern apron is mainly for GA, along with maintenance facilities, a garage building that also houses a weather bureau, and at the far northern end of runway 02-20 an apron and hanger for the Alaska Air National Guard. All AI aircraft in FS9 much prefer to use a runway that has an ILS and so will continue to use 09-27 even if the wind is from the north or south, right up until it reaches 30+ knots, so for AI realism in FS9 a permanent wind from the west would be the most realistic on a daily basis. There is also a small gravel strip just north of the town and this is included (94Z), as are some old line-of-sight radio communication reflectors on the hills above the town. There is a note about making adjustments to Ultimate Terrain Alaska-Canada regarding both realistic road lighting and also auto-generation.

File Description:
Here's another Dash-8 especially for the Icelandic simmers out there or those who prefer the challenge of simming the skies and airports of the northernmost latitudes. This is one of two (2) Dash 8-106's flown by Air Iceland (Icelandic: Flugfelag Islands) and bears registration TF-JMB. Flugfelag Islands, a subsidiary of Icelandair Group, is a regional airline with bases at Reykjavik Airport and Akureyri Airport. It operates scheduled service to destinations in Iceland and Greenland, as well as the Faroe Islands. I want to give due credit to and thank Elmar Voigt, who inspired this project and repaint and worked with me to get every detail of it as realistic as possible. Some of those details include the text 'flugfelag.is' on the bottom of the fuselage (just like the real aircraft) and a tug painted in Air Iceland/Flugfelag Islands colors with their logo on the doors. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mips for maximum quality. This is a textures only package; you must have the Dreamwings Design Dash8 Q-100 model available here at AVSIM.

| Pegasus Aviation AI Pack: The Viscount Flies On |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
In deepest darkest Africa, one Viscount can still be found flying commercially - with Pegasus Aviation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
These files include the aircraft, appropriate AI flight plans and AFCAD files for some of the airports served. Although not a true "AI
aircraft" it is unlikely to cause a strain on computer resources given the light
demands of AI traffic and scenery in the Congo area on Flight Simulator.
The aircraft is a modified version of Rick Piper's excellent Vickers Viscount 800
model available from http://www.btinternet.com/~rick.piper/ . If you wish to fly
the Pegasus Aviation Viscount yourself, please download the original aircraft files
from his site and install these textures to work with them - what is included
here is not suitable for your own flying as the Flight Dynamics have been modified
to work as AI traffic. [File re-uploaded at request of AVSIM] Footnote - since this file was first released in 2007, the aircraft has changed hands, it passed to Mango Airlines as 9Q-COD and is currently out of service at FZQA Lubumbashi. Sadly, it seems that the Viscount no longer flies on.

| Active ILS - KMIA v2.0 |
|
File Description:
UPDATED KMIA see the readme file -- By design KMIA is now the most advanced ATC controlled airport in the FS9 database. As most know initiating the ILS at certain airports for AI Traffic is not a function at this time when using AFCAD2. If you add a new ILS runway to an airport such as KMIA (Miami International Airport 8L/26R) only the user aircraft can use this runway when visibility falls below 3 miles. ATC will no longer use this runway for AI Traffic because FS9 sees it as a visual runway. This will cause ATC to vector your AI Traffic back to 9L/27R (old numbers) 8R/26L (new numbers) which is also a Terminal departure runway. All 4 runways for KMIA are now simultaneously active for both departure and arrival. The many options (written in the XML compiled to bgl) are to numerous to list for KMIA so follow the instructions in the README and just sit back (or fly) and plane spot either VMC or IMC for a very active airport. *** FlyTampa-Miami Scenery AFCAD2 and special ILS bgl also updated and included ***

| Active ILS - KLAS (McCarran Intl - Las Vegas, Nevada) |
|
File Description:
As most know initiating the ILS at certain airports for AI Aircraft or User Planes is not a function at this time when using AFCAD2 if visibilty falls below 3 miles. This is do to the somewhat complex XML code that has to be written for NAVAIDS and then the compiling into a bgl file. If you add a new ILS runway to an airport such as KLAS (rwy 01L) only the user aircraft can use this runway when visibility falls below 3 miles. ATC will no longer use 01L ILS runway for AI Traffic or User Aircraft (by default) because FS9 sees it as a visual runway and will now vector your Planes back to rwy 7/25LR ILS which is also being used as a Terminal Departure Runway. The KLAS_ILS_jv.bgl file adds all NAVAIDS for making 01L a Precision Instrument Runway by adding all the radar fixes for both the ILS/DME approach portion and the proper missed approach procedures as per current published plates for runway 01L. See the readme for what's new at the KLAS airport. **** AFCAD2 included for FS9 default scenery. ****

This is do to the somewhat complex XML code that has to be written for NAVAIDS and then the compiling into a bgl file. If you add a new ILS runway to an airport such as KBUF (rwy 32) only the user aircraft can use this runway when visibility falls below 3 miles if a GPS/LDA is unavailable. ATC will no longer use 32 ILS runway for AI Traffic or User Aircraft (by default) because FS9 sees it as a visual runway and will now vector your Planes back to 5/23 ILS which is also being used as a Terminal Departure Runway. The KBUF_ILS_jv.bgl file adds all NAVAIDS for making 32 a Precision Instrument Runway by adding all the radar fixes for both the ILS/DME approach portion and the proper missed approach procedures as per current published plates for runway 32.

| North Haledon Lite |
|
File Description:
This is Chopper Friendly scenery, folks. It wasn't designed to be flown over at 10,000 feet - although, if you like to fly heavy iron into the major New York/New Jersey airports, you'll notice that it replaces the terrain elevation of Northern New Jersey with all the hills and valleys that the default scenery left out. No, this is interactive scenery. Built to be explored low and slow.
Want to perfect your landing skills in a huge playground of rooftops, irregular terrain, and tight spaces? This is the place. You won't find any unlandable surfaces or false crashes here - just hundreds of places to touch down ranging from beginner, through expert, to downright sick!
This is the lite version, designed for people who are having trouble with the frame rates of the full version. I've thinned out the houses and trees, and removed the buildings South of Oldham Pond - but managed to keep most of the interesting places to land. In the tests I've done, there was about a 20 percent frame rate increase on average compared to the full version, with nearly a 45 percent increase in the most framerate-hostile areas.

| MYER Rock Sound International, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Rock Sound International (ICAO: MYER), a grand-sounding but
quiet airport located on Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. Eleuthera is a long
and thin island east of Nassau and has three commercial airports, the busiest
being Governor's Harbour. Rock Sound is at the southern end and is served twice
daily by Dash 8 turboprops of Bahamasair, along with occasional flights by
operators such as Southern Air Charter. The airport has seen busier days and
was once even served from Europe by Alitalia.
Microsoft have only provided general aviation facilities at this airport in
Flight Simulator 2004 and this scenery seeks to redress the situation
so that you and your "AI" traffic can use the airport realistically.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high quality
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.
