| EGXJ - RAF Cottesmore - Rutland, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Cottesmore (ICAO EGXJ) is a former Royal Air Force station in Rutland, England, situated between Cottesmore and Market Overton.
The Stationed opened on 11 March 1938 and was used mainly for training, and the first squadrons were equipped with Vickers Wellesley aircraft, but soon converted to Fairey Battles. Later RAF Bomber Command took over the airfield, again as a training station, flying Handley Page Hampdens. These units remained in residence until a few days before the outbreak of war in 1939 when they were sent to RAF Cranfield to serve as a pool providing replacements for combat losses. Their place at Cottesmore was taken by Nos. 106 and 185 Squadrons, moving in from RAF Thornaby with Hampdens. However, with the outbreak of war, the aircraft and crews were sent to locations in the north and west, as enemy air attacks were expected over the southern half of England. As these never materialised, the Hampdens returned in the spring of 1940 and No. 185 Squadron became the Hampden operational training unit, No. 14 Operational Training Unit RAF.
RAF Cottesmore's Hampdens' first trespass into hostile airspace was a leaflet dropping operation over northern France. In October 1940, 106 Squadron moved to RAF Finningley while No. 14 OTU remained training crews for Bomber Command, its Hampdens and HP.53 Herefords being replaced by Vickers Wellingtons in 1942. Training continued for three years and three months until August 1943 when No. 14 OTU moved to RAF Market Harborough.
In early December 2009, it was announced the station would close due to funding cut-backs, in part to help pay for additional helicopters for British operations in Afghanistan.
In 2010, No. 4 Squadron RAF disbanded, with No. 20 Squadron RAF re-badging as No 4 (Reserve) Squadron.
The station became a satellite to RAF Wittering on 31 March 2011 with a civic parade and flypast to mark the disbandment of No 1 Sqn RAF, 800 NAS, 801 NAS and JFH.
In July 2011 Defence Secretary Liam Fox announced plans for it to be the airfield for one of five of the Army's Multi-Role Brigades. In April 2012 it was renamed Kendrew Barracks after Major General Sir Douglas Kendrew.

| Boeing 747-8i Delta Northwest |
|
File Description:
FSX Boeing 747-8i Delta Northwest with advanced VC by Alejandro Rojas Lucena and VC Texture Upgrade by Enrique Cornejo. This gives the b747 a payware Virtual Cockpit look! It even has a pilot jacket hanged in the rear of the cockpit (besides the right jumpseat).
The panel.cfg and the aircraft.cfg have been assembled and edited by the Flightsim Workshop Team. Now you can pop up "My icons" window in the Virtual Cockpit to easily reach the following windows: GPS, avionics, map, ATC, Climb/Radio Altimeter/Spoiler switch, auto-break switch, throttle quadrant, clock, descentometer, kneeboard and overhead panel.
The aircraft has new engine views (from both wings) and new Virtual Cockpit interior views from the left, right and central jump seats.
The Delta Northwest texture is wonderful and it has a unique paintscheme by Mcphat Studios with a repaint by Enrique Cornejo which also includes details such as some stains caused by humidity and other details just like a real aircraft.
This aircraft uses the Project Opensky FSX Boeing B747-800 Model OSX748V4_GENX(MDL), and includes the gauge window Posky Utility to view the main stairs, ground cargo servicing, etc. The engine sounds are edited like the real ones with cockpit ambient, so you can enjoy a pleasant flight. The Flight Management Computer (FMC) is fixed and looks like a payware instrument. The VC includes FMC, Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MDF) displayed in the correct size.
The virtual cockpit also has an Engine-Indicating and Crew-Alerting System also known as EICAS, Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), working wipers, cabin lights, fire suppression, avionics switch, fuel crossfeed, and you can identify those intruments in the overhead panel because they are bordered with color lines. You can also find landing lights switches, taxi light switch, engine generators, APU generator, battery switch, starter switches, de-ice switch, general lights switches which are a great work of Alejandro. So now the whole cockpit and texture upgrade with all these improvements looks better than a payware version. The clock numbers are now in orange which makes them look better and easily recognizable.
Assembled and edited for FSX by Enrique Cornejo.

| LOXA Aigen im Ennstal |

File Description:
The military airport Aigen im Ennstal is a base of Austrian Airforce. It is primarily a base of Military helicopters.
Also, however, this airstrip is also used by the GRIMMING flight group.
I tried to reproduce the character of LOXA as well as possible.
The surroundings are adapted by landclasses. Aigen, surrounding villages and important roads are built-in.
The airport has a photo background in four variants, each adapted to the four seasons spring / summer, autumn and winter.
The buildings in this scenery are quite similar to the originals. I used the beautifull objekts of Kalle, who already designed this airport for XPlane in a very nice way.

|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This FSX repaint depicts the second -8i test aircraft (N6067U) from Boeing currently running the gauntlet of flight tests prior to it's delivery to Lufthansa in 2012.
This repaint is based on the latest photos of RC021 at Paine Field in it's interim livery and is modeled accurately with correct window placements as per the real aircraft.
The aircraft was hand painted using the PMDG paint kit and features DDS DXT5 textures and includes custom night lighting with increased illumination and custom cockpit views.
PMDG 747-400X for FSX and 747-8i/8F add-on packages are BOTH required. See readme for important installation instructions and enjoy the repaint.

File Description:
Icelandair is the flag carrier airline of Iceland, based on the grounds of Reykjavik Airport in Reykjavik. It is part of the Icelandair Group and operates services to 32 cities in 14 countries on both sides of the Atlantic. Its main base is Keflavik International Airport. Icelandair's business strategy is based on the geographical position of Iceland on the flight route between northern Europe and North America. By combining its aircraft, passengers visiting Iceland, passengers departing from Iceland and passengers travelling across the Atlantic via Iceland, Icelandair has been able to expand its network steadily. Remember these are textures only, you will need the original Captain Sim 757.

| Airtanker Airbus A330-200 RR Military (RAF) |
|
File Description:
I did this for myself. This is a basic repaint as I have no pretentions to be a repainter,however I have tried to be as accurate as possible.
The livery represents the post production texture as used for the transit flight of airframe Number 1033,I think, from Toulouse France to the EADS Military Conversion Facility located south of Madrid at Getafe, Spain.
You will need the payware CLS A330-200 RR to use these textures
My thanks to the CLS repaint team who produced an inital project for me which spurred me on to do this.
If it is good enough for you, be my guest.
