| Grafton District Airport - NSW Australia |
|
File Description:
A delighful small airport approximately 80 nautical miles from Coffs Harbour and a slightly shorter distance to Ballina and Lismore. This makes a good stopover for hopping down the east coast of Australia.
The size of the airport has allowed me to put in that extra detail which makes to terminal and surrounds very much "as in real life". Photographic textures are used throughout for the buildings and even the trees are hand made macros from photographs at the airport.
AFCAD and Traffic Tools files are included to add extra AI traffic. For that reason and because of limited apron space no static planes have been used.
The scenery concentrates on adding a realistic terminal to the airport whilst leaving much of the default runway detail unchanged. Changes which have been made to the runway include tidying up the taxi way fillets so the markings do not appear to be on the grass and the windsocks have been replaced with macros designed to resemble the Grafton windsocks. Other than that the airport merges into the default scenery without the usual "green oasis" effect.

| Fly By utility v2.0 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Fly By v2.0. This utility enables fly by view when FS is in tower view mode.
New:
AI aircraft fly by view is now available. AI aircraft can be selected from the list and shown in fly by or spot plane view. Next/previous AI aircraft can also be selected with the key commands. Cycle AI aircraft fly by / spot plane view is available too.
Random options for horizontal (left-right) and vertical (up-down) viewpoint positions are added. There are two types of random: with constant and variable distance to the plane.
Parameters range now can be assigned. Therefore fly by period, relative lateral and altitude positions can be increased significantly.
Utility is provided with the keyboard commands.
Limitation of Functionality:
For user aircraft it is full-functional version which does not require any registration.
AI aircraft options are time-limited for the unregistered version of utility. Every time FS starts, you have one minute summary to select and view AI aircraft fly by.

| P-47D-30 324th FG/ 316th FS #83 "Wee Three" |
|
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A/Shockwave Wings of Power P-47D-30 Thunderbolt, representing 42-28590 "Wee Three", an aircraft that flew with the 316th FS/ 324th FG. The name came from its first pilot, who was married and had a small child, hence the "Wee Three". After he finished his tour, the aircraft was re-assigned to Lt John Jasper Yowell jr. On 19 march 1945, while on his 65th mission, to Pforzheim, the squadron was ambushed by a flight of Me-109's. His wingman, John Haun, shot down one Me-109, but Lt Yowell was hit by enemy fire and forced to bail out. Unfortunately, his parachute didn't open. He was found and buried in his parachute by French labourers. After the war, he was reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery.
Repaint for FS9 by Jan Kees Blom, based on a repaint kit by John Terrell. I have included a thumbnail for use in FSX. Although the model is for FS9 only, it works in FSX too.

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..

| PAUT - Akun Island - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Akun Island is close to Akutan, only 7 miles away from the village and the Trident fish processing plant that is just west of the village. Unfortunately those 7 miles are over the sea, as the airport has been built on a different island where there are fewer hills. The link is by hovercraft, which is included as AI in this post along with a "seaport" that boasts only an apron down by the beach. PAUT has a single runway aligned 09-27 which is 4,500 feet long and has a surrounding gravel base. There are daily flights from Dutch Harbor by Grant Aviation, more than one if more are required. The Ai contains these flights, plus a late afternoon Coastguard helicopter flight is added to the revised St Paul Island AI included here. Adjacent to the airport there is a camp for housing labour who were employed on the airport construction, and this is now available for wildlife survey teams or whoever else needs to find accommodation while working on Akun Island.

| 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)

| HSI window |
|
File Description:
Installation of resizable default HSI gauge to any panel.
There were many occasions when I needed a functional HSI in the newly downloaded aircraft cockpit. Also sometimes to replace the one I did not like, or to add one to the existing gauges in the panel.
Some cockpits were missing HSI and I have replaced some unessential existing gauge with HSI or added it to any available panel space.
IMPORTANT! I respect all the panel designers and realize that HSIs in some cockpits are missing for a good reason since actual aircraft just did not have them. Therefore, if you choose to install any of these HSIs, it is just a convenience to suit your flying experience.
All the HSI are FS2004 default gauges therefore there is no need for other gauges install. The exception is the button for making the HSI visible, which I have designed. There is no need to install this button though, since the HSI can be simply added through the menu Views/Instrument panel drop-down.

| Clinton Point CWCP, Horton River CWHR & Keats Point CWKP; DEW sites in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are three DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the east of Tuktoyaktuk.
Clinton Point is almost 300 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and on the Northwest Territories and Nunavut border. It is the site of a closed DEW station (closed in 1993) and all the buildings have been removed, unlike many other sites where buildings are still almost complete. The roads and the gravel runway down by the beach are still there.
Horton River is 150 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land above the cliffs at around 500 feet ASL. The NWS (North Warning System) replaced the I site which was there previously and which ceased operations in 1963. The NWS is serviced by helicopter from a barge 400 yards away on the beach.
Keats Point is 270 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, 7 miles from the coast but significantly close to a lake, which was probably used for float plane delivery in the summer (or ski plane delivery in the winter) of NWS station elements during construction.

| KR1 for AI |
|
File Description:
Ken Rand's small, single-seat, retractable-gear homebuilt, built using Styrofoam and Dynel/epoxy model aircraft techniques. This model was designed using FSDS v3.51, principally for ai use, so there is a relatively low polygon-count main model, with several LOD models and a reduced-detail shadow for optimal fps. Not a short-field aircraft, it's quite streamlined and there are no flaps, so the stall speed is quite high for a small 'plane, 45kts., but as it's such fun to fly I fitted a basic VC with a functional panel using mostly default gauges. This is a "slippery" little aircraft, needing rather more runway to land than you might expect, so line up early and get your speed down if you don't want to have to go around. The flight dynamics were prepared with Gerry Beckwith's AirWrench, but, as is the way with many homebuilt aircraft, the figures I worked from, hence my final result, will probably vary from other published data. Please see the enclosed text file for further details.

| Piaggio P-180 V3.0 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Version 3.0 brings an entirely new cockpit (2D/3D, 2D panel available in Widescreen and 4/3) and cabin down to almost every single switch, entirely new flight dynamics, advanced systems and avionics, new sound and panel sound effects, and much more!
The Piaggio P-180 is a high-speed high-efficiency turboprop aircraft. Capable of speeds up to 395 KTAS (or M0.68) up to its service ceiling of 41000ft. This performance is achieved by extreme aerodynamic optimization instead of sheer power. The end result is an aircraft that burns 40% less fuel than the average jet of comparable size, while flying at the same speed range, or 30% less than an equivalent size turboprop, as it flies much faster. The pusher propellers on the wings mounted much backwards thanks to the forward wing set make it a comfortable and quiet ride for the passengers, that also enjoy a very spacious cabin for an aircraft of this size.
Features Clickable Dynamic Photortreal VC with Night Lighting, night lighted internals, Photoreal 2D Cockpit, Engine start Effect, advanced FDE, Customizable Payloads.
