| F-51D West Virginia ANG |
|
File Description:
Repaint of the A2A WWII P-51D Mustang as F-51D-30-NT 45-11582 using John Terrell's excellent paint kit. This aircraft was one of the last batches of P-51D's delivered to the USAAF before the close of WWII. After an uneventful post-war career its final allocation was to the 167th Fighter Bomber Squadron West Virginia ANG at Kanawaha County, West Virginia in 1953. It was withdrawn fron ANG service in December 1956 and transferred to the California Air Material Area in Sacramento. It was sold to Ed Maloney November 1957 and registered N5441V. It was one of the founding aircraft of the 'Planes of Fame' museum in Chino CA and has been in near constant use since then. It has been adorned with a variety of liveries during this time and currently flies as a 334th FS 4th FG Mustang flown by Major James 'Goody' Goodson in 1944. It has for many years been affectionately known as 'Spam Can'
This repaint is based on a photograph of the aircraft in near-derelict condition carrying 2 small practice bombs, probably taken at Sacremento in 1957 before disposal. It therefore represents Spam Can in her final days in active USAF service.

| Flight dynamics update V1.0 for FS2004 Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker By Mike Stone |

Flight dynamics update V1.0 for FS2004 Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker By Mike Stone
Dynamics only, Original aircraft available at:
http://www.pmstone.com/
Note: both these dynamics AND the real plane do NOT have thrust reversers. It seems the USAF did not want them on their plane, despite the availability on that engine model. Anyway, don't use the thrust reverse.
A friend who's recently posted to a KC-135 squadron recently asked me to tweek the layout of the fuel tanks on Mike Stone's freeware KC-135. What I thought would be a very simple edit ended up being a full blown project that transformed how the model flies, and what kinds of payload configurations are possible.
For instance, the KC can carry either internal fuel bladders in the main cargo bay, along with full wing and fuselage fuel, or it can take reduced fuel load and take on a fair amount of cargo pallets. My edits will allow you to choose one or the other, but it's defaulting to a air refueling mission that it sees more commonly.
Once on my way, I requested and received permission from Mike Stone to share this edited dynamics, which I'm doing right now. Enjoy!

File Description:
Alitalia Compagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A. operating as Alitalia, is the flag carrier and national airline of Italy, which took over the name, the landing rights, many planes and some other assets from the liquidation process of the old Alitalia Linee Aeree Italiane and the entire Air One. The company has its head office in Fiumicino, Italy. Its main hub is Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport, Rome. Alitalia is Italy's biggest airline, and the world's 19th. The name "Alitalia" is an Italian portmanteau of the words ali (wings), and Italia (Italy).
Alitalia livery is painted on Project Airbus's Airbus A320-214 model (included). The textures are saved in 32bit format for quality graphics. Textures are also characterized by HD (High Definition). Its features are idle-reverser animation, animated pack vents and pressurisation outflow valve, detailed textures, accurate paint, dynamic shine & effects, dynamic flexing wings that respond to turbulence, fully independent suspension, trim animation, gear steering, accurate flight dynamics, spoiler animation, reflective cockpit windows, improved wingflex code with input from several new parameters including ground spoilers, fuel load, and angle of attack, transparent navigation light lenses and many more.

| Grumman F 14B Tomcat 'Jolly Rogers' |
|
File Description:
These are textures ***ONLY*** and are applied to Jeff Dobbing and D.Cattaneo's Grumman F 14B, filename: f14bfs9a.zip; available at http://www.fsfreeware.com/cgi-bin/dcd_a/dcd.cgi I wish to thank these gentlemen for providing us with such a fine model of this aircraft and their kind permission to repaint it. These are 32-bit textures with no mip-maps to preserve image clarity.
These textures are the "hi-viz" paint scheme that the CAG (Commander Air Group), XO's, and show aircraft wear. Basic differences are that the stripes on the fuselage under the cockpit are outlined in yellow as are the tail-fins, and the drop tanks are glossy black and carry the same yellow/black stripes as the fuselage does. Also the fins below the engines are outlined in yellow. Instead of a flat black, they use a glossy black on the black areas of the Tomcat. The yellow/black colors do make for a nice contrast. The significance of the yellow and black colors are a carry-over from the early days of VF-84 and when the "colors" were passed to VF-103 after VF-84 was decommissioned VF-103 "show" aircraft carry the full squadron colors in remembrance of VF-84 and past squadrons that carried the "Jolly Rogers" mantel. They are subtle differences in the paint schemes but have some meaning for the squadrons.
Enjoy! Heather

| Lockheed L-749A Constellation TWA 1958 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Lockheed L-749A Constellation TWA 1958.
In June 1939 TWA (Transcontinental & Western Air) required a four-engined airliner capable of flying transcontinental US services non stop west to east or with one stop travelling in the opposite direction against the prevailing wind. The specification was drawn up by TWA's major shareholder Howard Hughes and TWA-director Jack Frye. The intial result was the L-49 Constellation, but before the first aircraft was built WWII broke out and the Connie was drafted by the militaries as C-69. After the war the C-69 was renamed L-049 Constellation and delivered to a.o. TWA (27). The L-649 and L-749 Constellations were the first true civil versions. TWA used 12 L-749's and 28 L-749A's from March 1948 till 1967. This particular L-749A, N6001C 'Star of New Jersey', flew with TWA from 24 March 1950 till September 1966. It was scrapped in 1968.
This repaint is a much improved version of the one issued in 2006. It has not been tested for the FSX version of Abacus' Constallation but probably will function there as well.
These are textures only. You will require Francisco Sánchez-Castañer's great payware Lockheed L-749 Constellation, which can be obtained from Abacus' Platinum Collection (see http://www.abacuspub.com/default.html). Repaint (based on Francisco Sánchez-Castañer's textures) by Maarten Brouwer.

| RAAF Avro York MW140 |
|
File Description:
textures for Classic British Flight Sim avro york. First Flight 10/11/44. Delivered RAF 246 Sqn 09/02/45. Transfered to RAAF as 'Endeavour' and allocated A74-1 10/03/45. To 1 AD 19/03/45. To Governor Generals Flight 02/04/45. To 17 RSU for engine change 10/04/45. To Governor Generals Flight 11/04/45. Although the RAAF identification number A74 was allocated, the York retained the original serial MW140, but the RAF markings were exchanged for the contemporary RAAF blue and white roundels and flashes. The York was used for long-range flights including the Duke's tour of New Guinea, New Britain, and Bougainville Island. The flight was terminated on July 5 1945, because of the death of the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon John Curtin. On two occasions, September 20 1945, and October 5 1945 "Endeavour" was flown to Singapore to evacuate ex-POWs, and on the first return journey a record flight was established between Perth and Canberra. On January 17 1947, "Endeavour" departed from Mascot and arrived in England on January 23 1947, where the aircraft was handed back to the Air Ministry. 06/01/48, RAF 24 Sqn. 03/52, Withdrawn & stored RAF 12MU Kirkbride, Cumbria, UK, 07/09/54 Aviation Jersey - later broken up. Although allocated A74-1, it was never applied to the aircraft

| FSP Airbus Paint Kits |
|
File Description:
This paint kit package contains all of the FSP Airbus paint kits in one easy-to-access pack. These are full kits - models, textures, aircraft.cfg, and *.air files. These kits are CLEAN; that is there is no dirt or shading. In addition to the normal DXT3 files, there are one or more PSP detail files in each aircraft folder. The detail files eliminate most of the requirement to use layered techniques when painting aircraft. Please see the instruction files for specific painting steps. You can now use full color washes on your work and you can stop worring about replacing windows and doors when you paint. I developed these CLEAN kits for two reasons - one, I like to add shading and details that reflect the way I paint aircraft as opposed to someone else who might add things like dirt where I might not want it - and two because with most aircraft designed with dynamic shine, you really don't need shading because it is built in. NOTE: The night textures in these kits have been heavily modified. I found two discrepancies in many of the kits on the Net today - incorrect window placement (especially on doors) and the use of an incorrect BLACK color on night textures which prevented the display of textures during night operations. Paint kits are by Frank Bass and night textures by Peter Leadbeater.

| MAAM-SIM DC-3 |
|
File Description:
These are 24-bit templates on which to base repaints of the FS2004/FS2002 MAAM-SIM DC-3 available from Mid-Atlantic Air Museum Simulations (MAAM-SIM) at www.maam.org. They cannot be used with the default FS2004 DC-3. This is not a 'paint kit' as such, as the original MAAM-SIM DC-3 bitmaps are partly photoreal. Rather, these are semi-finished templates on which to base further work. This initial package comprises bare metal and white top liveries for the base Passenger and Cargo DC-3 models in different variations, together with revised alpha channel templates. Simple instructions are included. These base textures reflect commonly found "background" configurations for many liveries, and will save repainters time by not having to get rid of the default colour schemes found in the original package before starting work. Please note that further templates will be issued to complement any future versions of the MAAM-SIM model. The intention is that those templates can be added to this base 'paintkit' folder, the methodology and basic instructions being similar for all paints. Where changes to the model invoke changes in texture mapping or other differences, this will be noted with each new package provided. By Mark Beaumont for MAAM-SIM, based on original textures by Jan Visser. FS2004/FS2002

File Description:
Textures for Tom Gibson's Douglas DC-6A - repainted by Manfred Meyer.
You need to download and install the latest Douglas DC-6A CB-16 base pack with model(use the model with Propspinners), sound and panel from the website calclassic.com.
These textures depict N96BL (c/n 43574) of Aerial Transit. Harold Bellomy and Charles Lawson founded 1963 the Bellomy & Lawson Company in Miami FL, buying DC-6 aircrafts an convert them to pure freighters. They run Challenge Air Transport and sold this airline 1982. Then they started 1983 a part 121 operation under the trading name "Aerial Transit" and ceased operations in 1991. The DC-6 aircrafts of aerial Transit, flying throughout the Caribbean and Central America and were often leased out to other operators of the region. N96BL was built 1952 as C-118A and delivered to the USAF as 51-3827. In 1976 bought by Bellomy & Lawson and registered as N3492F the aircraft served with Challenge AT and re-registered as N96BL from october 1983 until 1991 with Aerial Transit. Aerial Transits DC-6 always looking a little bit shabby and when flying this aircraft, keep in mind it has no pressurisation and no superchargers. So if you are forced to go above 10 000 ft take some oxygen bottles with you!

| Global Airways Douglas C-54 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The repaint features Global Airways' N79000, an early production Douglas C-54 (c/n 3058) built at the Douglas factory at Santa Monica, CA, and delivered to the USAAF on February 8, 1943 as 41-37272. In 1946 the Civil Aviation Administration took her over as NC79000. Having been converted to DC-4 standard, she was bought on April 11, 1951 by Eastern Air Lines as N79000 '721'. In May 1955 she was sold and served many users such as Northwest, Transocean and World. In 1960 California Airmotive became the owner of the C-54. During September and October 1960 the C-54 was leased by Global Airways, a company based in Philadelphia, PA, from 1946 to around 1960. (founded by Simon Bolnick and Joseph Raphael; passenger charter operations included fishing and hunting charters to Canada.) In May 1961 the C-54 was sold as D-ADAM to Continentale in Germany. Already in December 1962 Continentale went bankrupt and the aircraft was stored in the open at Hamburg. In July 1963 Aviation Traders (Engineering) Ltd purchased the C-54 for conversion to Carvair car-ferry aircraft. As it turned out, the condition of the C-54 was extremely poor (corrosion on many places on the wing spars) so makeshift repairs were done before the aircraft was ferried to Stansted for its rebuild to Carvair G-ASKN.
Textures only. You will need Jens Kristensen's FS2004 Douglas DC-4 & C-54 (DC4_V30.ZIP). Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.
