Active ILS - PAUN (Unalakleet, Alaska)

File Description:
As most know initiating the LOCALIZER at certain airports for the User Aircraft/ATC control is not a function at this time when using AFCAD2. If you add a new LOCALIZER runway to an airport such as PAUN (Unalakleet RWY 14) only the user aircraft can use this runway (without ATC commands) when visibility falls below 3 miles. This ILS bgl file adds all NAVAIDS for making RWY 14 a LOCALIZER/DME Instrument Runway by adding all the radar fixes for both the LOC approach portion and the Published Missed Approach Procedures. All User Planes can now ask ATC for the Localizer runway 14 when Airport weather conditions are either VMC or IMC. **** AFCAD airport included if needed ****

Nick's Prop Dust v2.0 with Nick's ALL WET for Watercraft!

File Description:
This package is an all new release of my original prop dust FX. This gauge/effects package automatically senses the terrain the aircraft is in contact with or flying over and changes the prop dust and water FX 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 prop dust/wash; however, the same runway with snow/rain conditions present will automatically produce a throttle controlled snow/rain blowing effect. FX files and gauges are included for large and small, single engine, multi-engine, amphibians, helicopters, seaplanes and massive scale military and commercial land/water transports. This package requires manually editing/adding lines in the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. The README files include very complete and comprehensive instructions with a quick and easy copy/paste file for all the Microsoft prop aircraft and 13 other popular aircraft. I have also provided a QUICK REFERENCE file for current Nicks Prop Dust users for the new seaplane gauge and new FX location formulas. Nick's ALL WET is wild splashing and spraying bow/skid water FX designed for amphibians, seaplanes and boats which includes water droplets on the 2D and VC windshield as the plane barrels through the water on takeoff and landing. There is an option to install Nick's ALL WET without the main dust FX package. ENJOY! from Nick Needham

Instructions for building a replacement USB-DB15 Dongle for MS Sidewinder Joysticks

File Description:

My neighbor recently gave me a Microsoft SideWinder Precison Pro Joystick. Unfortuately, they had lost the DB15 to USB dongle (photo of dongle on the left)that connected the joystick to the USB port. This zip file contains a word document (.doc) which describes how you can build an equivalent dongle for just a few dollars. A parts list, photos of the completed assembly and a wiring diagram are included. Some elementary skill with a soldering iron is required.

Active ILS - KDEN v2.0 (Denver International)

File Description:
UPDATED KDEN see the readme file for details -- 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 KDEN (16R/34L) 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 16/34 (old numbers) 16L/34R (new numbers) which is also a Terminal Departure Runway. There are many additional options added to version 2.0 *** Imagine Simulations Scenery AFCAD2 and special 3rd Party ILS bgl also included ***

Naha, Okinawa, Afcad and Voice package

File Description:
As Naha International Airport ceased to be an American Air Force Base in 1975 and as related charts for the area refer to the "Flight Information Region" (FIR) around Okinawa as "Naha Centre" This package also provides an option to replace all Naha related sound files with the "Air Force Base" suffix FS9 has by default, to ones without. Airport voice file for ICAO "ROAH" has been modified as have Naha, Naha GCA and Naha FIR agent files. Basically the end result removes any "air force base" reference from only those sound files that mention "Naha". Please note that as far as I can ascertain the voice files should work fine even if you don't install the Afcad. Enjoy folks.....

File Description:
--Repackage of "Working Wipers" for FS2004. Original package by Guy De Smet.--

Several simmers, who were having issues attempting to install the "Working Windshield Wipers" package requested I re-do the package with clearer instructions. This re-do includes the following changes:

1. New comprehensive (hopefully easier to understand) instructions;
2. Setups for the default Cessna 172 and Boeing 737-400;
3. Conversion of the "gauge" to a .cab file;
4. Sample screenshots.

A copy of the original package is also included. Please unzip this archive to a temporary folder and follow the detailed instructions. Original gauge by Guy De Smet. Re-packaged for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

Parajumpers - Canadian Forces Search & Rescue

File Description:
These FX files allow you to drop a number of search and rescue paratroopers from the DC-3, JU-52, DeHaviland Otter, and the C-130. Editing the included text insert (door location) for the aircraft.cfg file will allow them to jump from any other plane of your choosing as well. I no longer have FS2002 so was unable to test this with that FS version. I wish to thank Mr. Pierino Primavesi for his kind permission in allowing me to modify the FX files he made for his Luftwaffe version of the JU-52. Visit his site at: http://www.ju52-3m.ch/ for more of the latest updates for the Junkers JU-52. Payware quality for free. You can't go wrong. Enjoy!
