| RAF Tarrant Rushton (1944) - Dorset, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Tarrant Rushton was a Royal Air Force station near the village of Tarrant Rushton east of Blandford Forum in Dorset, England from 1943 to 1947. It was used for glider operations during World War II and later revived for civilian operations. It is currently disused, though some buildings survive.
Horsa gliders from Tarrant Rushton left for France on the eve of D-Day, to begin Operation Tonga with an action that would later become known as Pegasus Bridge. Among the glider pilots was Jim Wallwork, on a Horsa nicknamed Lady Irene. The Tarrant Rushton gliders landed in occupied France shortly after midnight. Wallwork's aircraft was the first to touch down, but it landed heavily: the force of the impact catapulted both Wallwork and his co-pilot John Ainsworth through the front of the cockpit. Although stunned, this made them the first Allied troops to touch French soil on D-Day.
Other gliders were later flown from the airfield to Arnhem to take part in Operation Market Garden. During the closing stages of WWII, aircraft were used for SOE operations.

| RAF Molesworth |
|
File Description:
At the start of World War II the Air Ministry selected the area as the site for what would become RAF Molesworth. The base was built in 1940 and 1941. The first unit, Royal Australian Air Force 460 Squadron was formed at the base on November 15, 1941 with Vickers Wellington IVs. 460 Squadron departed the field on January 4, 1942. RAF Bomber Command 159 squadron moved in shortly afterwards, however this unit did not remain long, moving to the Middle East on January 12.
Molesworth was one of the early Eighth Air Force stations assigned to the United States Army Air Force (USAAF). In February 1942, General Ira Eaker and four US staff members inspected Molesworth for possible American use, and during 1942 the facility was improved to Class A airfield standard, with all of its runways extended to American specifications for heavy 4-engined bombers. The main runway was lengthened to 2,000 yards and the number of hardstands increased to fifty. It was given USAAF designation as Station 107.
From 16 September 1943 – 18 June 1945, Molesworth served as headquarters for the 41st Combat Bombardment Wing of the 1st Bomb Division.

| Odense Airport (EKOD), Funen, Denmark |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Odense Lufthavn (Odense Airport) is situated close the village of Beldringe, a few km north of Odense, the main city on the island of Funen, Denmark. Like several other Danish airports it was established as an airbase by the Germans during World War II. It was taken over by the Danish state after the war and owned by the state until 1998, at which time it was taken over by a consortium of local authorities, including the city of Odense.
Since the opening of the Great Belt Lin in 1997 there has been no regular passenger flights, apart from some charter traffic during the summer season. But there is a lot of traffic with one- and two-motor craft (including rotor craft) due to the many companies based in the airport.
The package is a complete scenery of the airport, including a few buildings around it. It includes approach lights, runway lights, taxiway lights and light on the apron, the car parking area and the surrounding roads. A traffic file with the (limited) charter traffic of the airport is also included.

| Active ILS - KATL (Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta Intl Airport) |
|
File Description:
Many know that KATL was not updated in FSX do to the airport data cutoff date. KATL now has the new Runway 10/28 but there are many additions added which are to numerous for listing here. Several key changes are all 5 parallel runways are ATC controlled Arrival runways for both the User and AI Plane Traffic. All Gates and Parking Spots have been updated so AI Airline Planes including Cargo, Commuter, and Corporate GA park in the correct places. New Approach code including the 5 new STAR's, RNAV (gps overlay's), many new Transitions and correct Runway data as per current Jeppesen Charts (freeware charts included). Many features have also been fixed such as Jetways that moved the wrong way, recoding the ILS CAT II Runway 28 frequency, updating KLZU ILS Runway 25 frequency, many scenery GUID's to support KATL based on how it looks today and additional ground support tracks that go to many more places including all Cargo Stands. Read the included Whats New Readme txt file for all the enhancements and how I coded ATC to use all 5 parallel runways for arrival vectors to decrease the go around issues at large airports.

| Boeing B-17G "Sally B" G-BEDF |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the FSX Wings of Power II Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, in the markings of "Sally B", the UK's last remaining airworthy B-17. One of the last Flying Fortress built at the Lockheed-Vega plant in Burbank, California, this aircraft was delivered new to the USAAF on June 19, 1945. Later, it was operated as a mapping surveyor in France before being brought to England in March 1975. In 1982, Ted White, the man who was responsible for bringing the aircraft to England, was tragically killed when his Harvard crashed at an air rally in Malta. In memory of Ted White, the inner starboard cowling will always be painted in yellow and black checkers, the same way Ted White's Harvard cowling was painted. For the past 31 years, "Sally B" has continued to fly, under the leadership of Elly Sallingboe and with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers. In 1990, "Sally B" played lead role in the movie "Memphis Belle," and continues to wear the same scheme she did during filming, with the exception of the Sally B nose art and checkered cowling.

File Description:
This is a repaint of the Riddle Airlines DC-8-55 Jet Trader. The payware JustFlight DC-8-50--70 pack is needed for this repaint. In March of 1963 Riddle Airlines faced a brighter future in 1963, when it secured a $3.7- million loan, enabling it to lease two DC-8Fs from Douglas. This was their first jetliner but it was in Riddle Airlines colors for a short period, as the Airline was renamed Airlift International on November 29 1963. This aircraft, DC-8-54F N108RD, was with Riddle from 1963 till 1981, when all of the company's three DC-8-55 Jet Traders were phased out. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-3. Textures are DXT5 dds.
