File Description:
Re-upload following Avsim hack. The Chipmunk first flew in 1946. There were numerous variations built in both Canada and Great Britain as a trainer aircraft to replace the Tiger Moth biplane. More than 500 Chipmunks remain airworthy throughout the world today. This aircraft has has been constructed using Gmax v1.2. The aircraft is constructed with as few polygons as possible and with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. The model has six LODs with the main model having just 2522 polygons (faces/triangles).I would like to especially thank Ray Blake who has kindly made all ten high quality textures for this package.
It is also quite fun to fly as a normal aircraft, but was originally designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Markus Brunner . The file for GA-Traffic can be found at Avsim: "ga-traffic_setup.zip".
The paintkit is being posted as a separate zip file.

| Van's RV-8 |
|
File Description:
In 1995, Van’s decided to re-visit the tandem concept. Even though the side-by-side RV-6\/6A had become the most popular homebuilt design ever, there was still a significant percentage of pilots who really wanted centerline seating. The consensus seemed to be that a new tandem airplane, optimized for cross-country flying, would be popular.\n\nThe "concept airplane" was dubbed the RV-8. A one-of-a-kind demonstrator was built in 1995 and introduced at Oshkosh. The cockpit was several inches wider than the RV-4, so space both front and rear was greatly improved. Really big people (high on the "bubba scale") who could not fit in earlier RVs now had an airplane they could fly. A front baggage compartment almost doubled the available baggage capacity and along with the usual compartment behind the rear seat, actually gave slightly more space than the RV-6\/6A. This package features a FSDSv2 model, custom panel, VC, moving parts, and two paint schemes. This aircraft is fun to fly, and also works well as an AI addition for GA routes.

| Avro York (Base Package) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Re-upload. Used variously as a long-range freighter and/or passenger airliner, the
York was designed around the wings, engines, undercarriage, and tail
assembly of the Lancaster bomber, adding a box-shaped fuselage and a
center fin. Of a total of 253 production aircraft built, 208 initially
went to the RAF, 25 to BOAC, 12 to BSAA, and 5 to FAMA (Flota Area
Mercante Argentina). Specially fitted VIP versions were used by Winston
Churchill and General de Gaulle. After completing 29,000 sorties in the
Berlin Airlift of 1948-9, many RAF Yorks were sold to charter operators
such as Aviation Traders, Dan Air, Hunting Clan, Lancashire Aircraft
Corporation, and Skyways of London. Some of these re-acquired RAF
roundels for "trooping flights" to the Middle East in the 1950s. From
1955 onward, the Yorks were gradually withdrawn, although some soldiered
on until 1964. Two such veterans have been preserved as museum exhibits
in Duxford and Cosford in the UK. Gmax exterior model and textures by
Manfred Jahn, FDE by Paul Edwards, panel by Phil Perrott (Alphasim),
Paul Edwards, and Lars Fors. A dedicated AI version has been released
separately. The textures in this package represent MW207 of 246 Squadron
RAF, BOAC G-AGNP ("Manchester"), and Skyways G-AHEY. The Flight dynamics are
for a York fitted with Merlin-500 series engines.

| Yakolev 52 |

File Description:
Re-upload following Avsim hack. Quoting from Wikipedia: "The Yakovlev Yak-52 is a Soviet primary trainer aircraft. It first flew in 1976 and is still being produced in Romania, by Aerostar, they gained manufacturing rights under agreement within COMECON socialist trade organisation now defunct. The Yak-52 was designed originally as an aerobatic trainer for students in the Soviet DOSAAF training organisation. That organisation trained both civilian sport pilots and military pilots.
Since the early 1990s and the fall of the Soviet Union, many Yak 52s have been exported to the west. Of the approximately 1,800 produced to date, most now fly in the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and other western countries.
A descendant of the single-seat competition aerobatic Yakovlev Yak-50, the all-metal Yak-52 is powered by a 360 hp, 9-cylinder radial engine, the Vedeneyev M14P. The aircraft has inverted fuel and oil systems permitting inverted flight for as long as two minutes. The engine drives a two-bladed counter-clockwise rotating, constant-speed, wood and fiberglass laminate propeller.
The tricycle landing gear is fully retractable, but it remains partially-exposed in the retracted position, affording both a useful level of drag in down manoeuvres and a measure of protection should the plane be forced to land "wheels up." Curiously the main wheels retract forward into the slipstream."
It has has been constructed using Gmax v1.2. The aircraft is constructed with as few polygons as possible and with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. The model has six LODs.
As usual, I have made three different textures for the aircraft. These are accurate textures which also includes the actual registration number of the aircraft as this seems to be what many desire to have.
It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Markus Brunner . It is also very flyable as a normal aircraft.

North American T6_Harvard
This aircraft has has been constructed using Gmax v1.2. The aircraft is constructed with as few polygons as possible and with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. There are two models- each has seven LODs.
The aircraft has had an amazing history with first prototype flying in 1935. To quote from Wikipedia "A total of 15,495 T-6s of all variants were built.During the Korean War and to a lesser extent, the Vietnam war, T-6s were pressed into service as forward air control aircraft. These aircraft were designated T-6 "Mosquito"s.[1] The RAF used the Harvard in Kenya against the Mau Mau in the 1950s where they operated with 20 lb bombs and machine guns against the gangs. Some operations took place at altitudes around 20,000 ft asl. A Harvard was the longest-serving RAF aeroplane, with an example, taken on strength in 1945, still serving in the 1990s (as a chase plane for helicopter test flights - a role the Shorts Tucano's high stall speed was ill-suited for). The T-6G was also used in a light attack or counter insurgency role by France during the Algerian war in special Escadrilles d'Aviation L�������©g�������¨re d'Appui (EALA), armed with machine guns, bombs and rockets. At its peak there were 38 EALA's active. The largest unit was the Groupe d'Aviation L�������©g�������¨re d'Appui 72, which consisted of up to 21 EALAs. Portugal also used ex-French aircraft during the Portuguese Colonial War.
Since the Second World War, the T-6 has been a regular participant at air shows, and was used in many movies. For example, in Tora! Tora! Tora! and The Final Countdown, converted single-seat T-6s painted in Japanese markings represent Mitsubishi Zeroes. The New Zealand Warbirds "Roaring 40s" aerobatic team use ex-Royal New Zealand Air Force Harvards. The Reno National Air Races also has a class specifically for the T-6 during the National Air Races each year."
This GMax model is quite fun to fly as a normal aircraft, but was originally designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population.
I would like to especially thank Ray Blake who has kindly made these high quality textures for this package.
A paintkit is being posted as a separate zip file.
