| TerraVue: Moving Map, Ground Proximity, Information pages |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: TerraVue. This gauge contains a moving map display with a terrain elevation legend color-keyed to the FS9 map. The legend allows the elevation of terrain lying ahead of the aircraft to be taken into account. TerraVue can display the FS map in seven ranges from 4 NM to 160 NM. The Map mode also employs animation to show the proximity between the aircraft and ground in a graphical and digital display with indicators showing whether the distance is increasing or decreasing. The gauge can be switched to the Information mode which will display up to four individual pages of data that is created by you. These scrollable pages may contain checklists, airport diagrams, approach plates, strip charts, etc. Fully functional, free software to help quickly construct these pages is included along with an illustrated tutorial that demonstrates the simple copy/paste process that tailors these pages to include whatever data you wish. For panel or separate window installation with TerraVue Icon gauge. By Glenn Copeland

| F16 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Panel, F16 Air Show Tour. The panel of this jet fighter has been designed for cross country flying to events worldwide. The 2D cockpit is packed with new gauges that complement this high performance, yet docile aircraft. All gauges, lights, etc. are functional, easy to read, and are panel installed except GPS 500. For long distance flights, the panel contains on-demand refueling capabilities for both ground and air operations. A few of the new gauges are; 180-degree scan navigational radar, triple mode interceptor-refueling-terrain radar, refueling gauge with command screen, fuel center with time/distance remaining computer, new Descentometer for Mach-plus aircraft, analog engine gauges including thrust and fuel efficiency, plus a hangar full of warning and indicator lights. The intercept mode of the ai-radar feeds info to the autopilot to assist in the rendezvous with tanker to allow all-weather, day or night air refueling. Digital data for AP, radio, altimeter, timer, and Descentometer is input via a central keypad. Acknowledge ATC instructions using joystick. Designed for use with Kirk Olsson's F16 Viper. Includes 15 page illustrated instructions plus Intercept and Refueling tutorial. By Glenn Copeland

| DC3 Photo-real Modern, Re-built Panel |
|
File Description:
This panel is made from a photograph of a modern day DC3. It features a unique 1950's-1960's style radio array mounted on top of the panel. The default King Air Radio gauge has been modified to work with it. The full version includes all working gauges, including VOR, ILS, the compact King Air autopilot, a repostioned GPS, and the default DC3 pop up windows for electrical, engine, and other controls. This shareware version, for evaluation purposes, is limited in gauge functions, color blending, and visibilty. It also includes the Right and Forward-Right cockpit views for evaluation of the full set of 7 inside views. The full set includes cargo and passenger options, from two different DC3 aircraft in use today (see screen shots). Also included as freeware, is the modified DC3 MDL file by Clive Ryan (dc3_mdl.zip), with permission. This will switch off the default virtual cockpit, so it does not conflict with the internal views. Or, if you know how to hex-edit, you can modify your own default MDL file, by following Clive's tutorial, which is included (only recommended for advanced users). You can also install only the panel, without using the modified mdl file. Includes choice of 1024x768 or 800x600 image resolution sets. By Will Fisher

| Nick's Prop Dust with Control Gauges |
|
File Description:
Prop aircraft users are in for a real treat. This gauge/effects package automatically senses the terrain the aircraft is in contact with or flying over and changes the dust and water effects for the aircrafts prop/rotor wash based on dirt, dry mud or clay, snow, rain, water, ice, sand, gravel and short grass. In addition the real time surface conditions are also sensed. In example, a dry asphalt or concrete runway will produce no dust, however, the same runway with snow conditions present will automatically produce a throttle controlled snow blowing effect. The 25 included effects files and 5 gauges have been tuned to reflect a realistic representation of the dust/mist produced by different types of aircraft taking off or touching down on different terrains and surface conditions. The effects are properly influenced by cross wind conditions and reverse pitch is also supported. Effects files and gauges are included for large and small, single engine, multi-engine, amphibians, helicopters and massive scale military and commercial transports. It requires editing/adding lines in the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. The README files include very complete and comprehensive instructions including a quick and easy copy/paste file for all the Microsoft prop aircraft and tutorial on making custom gauges from the ones provided.

| La Guardia |
|
File Description:
A high quality AFCAD2 file the New York La Guardia (KLGA) scenery by Shehryar Ansari. This file features assigned gates for all airlines that currently serve LGA. In order to ensure only 'mainline' aircraft use the jetbridges, a new 'Express' apron for Dash 8 and RJ size aircraft is provided near the Central Terminal and also adjacent to the US Air and Delta Terminals. An extensive GA parking area has also been added to the west side of the airport and includes 4 Helipads. A tower view is provided for the airport and both runways are also in use to maximize traffic flow. The Marine Terminal (Delta Shuttle) and US Airways (Shuttle) areas now have seperate parking codes. The txt for these codes is included in this zip, to add to your 'ParkingSpecs' document. Every available space at this airport has been used to provide a total of 140 parking positions, comprising 42 gates for regional jets, 59 gates for mainline aircraft, 4 Cargo Ramps and 35 GA ramps. A very easy to use tutorial explaining how to make AI Delta Shuttle aircraft use only the Marine Terminal and US Air Shuttle aircraft only use the US Shuttle Terminal is included. This package also includes screenshots showing the effects that this file has on your AI traffic. Requires the excellent scenery addon LGA2004.zip by Shehryar Ansari. This file is not recommended to be used with the default FS airport.

| Nick's AI Jet Exhaust With Control Gauge |
|
File Description:
Hanging around the airport watching the A-I traffic and chasing A-I jet aircraft just got a little more interesting. Enjoy watching your entire A-I jet fleet as they display engine heat shimmer effects -after- push-back from the terminal and during taxi to the active runway. All the A-I traffic take off displaying a lite, expanding, frame-rate friendly and nicely scaled high throttle heat/exhaust trail FX which remain with the A-I aircraft during its entire flight. To top off the show, the A-I aircraft that are throttled down and landing display no exhaust from the engines! This package also comes with a gauge that allows pilot throttle control of the taxi heat shimmer/full-throttle exhaust FX for the jet aircraft being flown in the sim by the user. This package does NOT interfere with the logo, taxi or wing lights of any aircraft and comes with 5 all new exhaust effects files which can be applied to just about any size private, commercial or military jet. It requires editing/adding lines in the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. The README files include very complete and comprehensive instructions including a quick and easy copy/paste file for all the Microsoft jet aircraft and tutorial on making custom gauges from the one provided. This package completely replaces my original *Nick's Jet Smoke* package and any/all updates for it.
