File Description:
SimLauncherX (or SLX for short) can be used as a launcher application for both FSX:ME, FSX:SE and Prepar3D (v1, v2 and v3). Flights/scenarios can be loaded when launching the simulator or when the simulator is already running. New flights can be created by selecting one of the installed aircraft, selecting the start location (runway or parking position), selecting the type of weather and the time of day. You can also display and create flight plans and attach them to a flight as requested or active flight plan. Version 5.9 adds a flight computer, AI browser, interactive (spoken) checklists, PMDG 737/777 CDUs, approach charts, fleet management and many other improvements. SimLauncherX is a more modern version of my previous SimLauncher application with a lot of additional functionality:
- interactive map.
- display, create and modify flight plans.
- show .kml/.kmz files on the map.
- radio stack.
- instruments panel.
- scenery.cfg editor.
- dll/exe.xml editor.
- process monitor.
Works with FSX:ME, FSX:SE and P3D v1, v2 and v3.

| Chatham Islands for Vector Land Class New Zealand |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project is a modified version of the Chatham_Islands.zip project which allows my landclass and airports to work seamlessly with the free Chatham Islands scenery available from Vector Land Class New Zealand. This package allows the user to switch back and forth easily between the different scenery combinations and also provides standalone Chatham and Pitt Island airports which can be used with the Vector Land Class (VLC) scenery on its own. It also allows the user to take advantage of the 15m terrain mesh and added water detail that comes with the VLC scenery. A modified Pitt Island AI runway is also included that is compatible with the 15m mesh. Chatham Islands/Tuuta Airport (NZCI), Napier (NZNR), and the Pitt Island Airstrip (NZPI) are included here. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.47.07, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.

| FSX Dynamic Benchmark Package |
|
File Description:
This package provide a means of measuring the performance of FSX in a repeatable and consistent manner. The benchmark is a 5 minute long autopiloted CRJ700 flight that starts just after the aircraft has taken off from KPAE, climbed to 1500ft, and reached 250kts towards the Seattle city center, overflies KSEA then heads directly for Mount Rainier. The idea is to get a good mix of rural / suburban / cityscape, clouds, water, and AI aircraft / boats / cars. Use include assessing the impact of FSX setting changes, the impact of different hardware drivers, hardware setting changes and hardware upgrades on FSX performance. It can also be used to comparing the performance of your system to other similarly configured systems to ensure the performance you are achieving is is representative of what can be expected and to compare the performance of your system to hardware component changes or a new system that you are considering upgrading to yourself.

| LFST - Strasbourg-Entzheim, France |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
A very detailed rendition of Strasbourg-Entzheim airport (France).
This scenery has been made for FSX SP2 or Acceleration and DirectX9.
However, it has been tested successfully with DX10 free shaders from Steve Parsons (not tested with DX10 Scenery Fixer SteveFSX)and with Prepar3D v.2.1.
Almost all the buildings have been built accurately, based on numerous pictures.
Runway, taxiways and aprons are covered with textured polygons so as to keep the look of the pavement regardless of extra add-ons installed. These textured polygons enable a smooth transition with the photorealistic ground (blend effect).
Aprons markings are up to date. This scenery is ready to accommodate your AI traffic : the stands are assigned to the main airlines serving the airport and their settings match with the real ones (nose-in, nose-out, drive through).
I have spent more than 2 years to make this photorealistic scenery.
I hope you enjoy discovering Strasbourg airport, have nice flights!

| CYCD (2012) Version 3 for FS9, FSX and Prepar3D |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CYCD (2012) is an update to Ken Peter's CYCD Nanaimo-Collishaw Airport (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada). The airport has recently completed a major runway
extension and installed an ILS for Rwy 16. The five flashing-red beacons that guide the way on a night approach to Rwy 34 are included. To the extent possible, this update
reuses Ken's custom buildings and objects (but you don't need to have Ken's version installed). As well, a selection of SAMM-generated static aircraft are scattered around the
aprons supplemented by a number of AI aircraft that do touch 'n gos from time to time. CYCD (2012) is compatible with ORBX FTX USA Canada Pacific Northwest and both versions
of Ultimate Terrain.
Generally, this new version is visually identical to its predecessor - even though quite different internally. As well, to the extent possible, it is compatible with
Prepar3Dv2. (v3.03 fixes a vehicle texture issue in 3.02)

| KHIO - Hillsboro Oregon Airport - Oregon, USA |
|
File Description:
Presenting Portland-Hillsboro airport (KHIO) in Oregon, for FSX. This is a stand-alone scenery for everyone, but if you have my Aurora scenery then this will be a nice addition, since the aircraft that fly out of Aurora head to Hillsboro and back.
There are two folders. Unzip this entire zip to a temp folder of your choice. The readme file is in the folder called 'additional files.... etc.'.
There are two installation instructions...very short, very easy to understand...depending on whether you have Aurora or not. Please note the custom rwy lights...the objects and the lights themselves which show at night, of course. (both rwys). Note also the tower transparent windows and the weather anemometer on the roof. I have chased AI from Aurora to Hillsboro... works fine. Fun to do. As always, if there are any problems please do not hesitate to contact me at my e-mail address which is in the readme file. Bob.

File Description:
This project rebuilds Easter Island / Isla de Pascua. Mataveri Intl (SCIP) is completely overhauled, and all airport objects are aligned from satellite imagery. Landclass polygons and coastlines were meticulously hand-drawn directly from satellite imagery to provide the most detailed and accurate scenery available for this region. AI road and boat traffic is activated for the region. Accurate coastlines and road data, as well as corrected land and waterclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. GA flights use default aircraft and include an option to add Chilean Air Force planes around the island. Numerous Moai (Easter Island heads) have been placed around the island according to satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the terrific set created by Jim Dhaenens.

| Merrill Field PAMR |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a version for FSX of the Merrill Field made by Roger Wensley (me) for FS9, converted by John B Loney jnr. "PAMR read this first" explains this but I have modified John's original procedure, and instead of first installing the Merrill Field original plus two updates I have included here the current FS9 version as installed on my computer. Note that to see the apron lighting working in FS9 it was necessary to have Sidney Schwartz's light library installed, along with his updated textures (to avoid severe blurries caused by a faulty texture). The original installation instructions are included giving file library priorities etc. Just ignore the bits that do not apply, such as installing AI that is not included. I have of course omitted the original AI as this is replaced by John's version. I have no comment to make on installing in FSX as I have not done so, and I have not tested it in FSX. If you have comments or questions I will respond as much as I am able. Merrill Field is in Anchorage Alaska, between Anchorage International to the southwest and and Elmendorf Air Force Base to the north. It caters for general aviation and is the land equivalent of the Lake Hood float plane base, with fuel and numerous maintenance facilities, and several hundred parking spots for small planes. There are three runways, and the longest is 4,000 feet of 100 feet wide asphalt, the second 2,635 feet of asphalt 75 feet wide, and the third 2,000 feet of 60 feet wide gravel. The first two have runway lights. It is a controlled airfield with a relatively new control tower to cater for the numerous flights and to coordinate with Elmensdorf and Anchorage International, the latter also controlling flights from Lake Hood and the adjacent gravel strip Z41. (See my Lake Hood scenery). The gravel runway at Merrill Field is not connected with active taxiways to the rest of the airfield; this avoids you being ordered to land on it when flying a plane too large to do so.
