File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware Warbirdsim P-51D "Mustang Tales" product. This repaint depicts the latest Mustang restoration to emerge from Midwest Aero Restorations, completely stock, which just had its first test flight from Danville, Illinois on January 30th. The aircraft is F-6K 44-12852 (restored as a P-51D), owned/operated by Dan Friedkin/Comanche Fighters, based in Texas. Sold surplus immediately following WWII, registered as NX66111, the aircraft was entered into the 1946 Cleveland Air Races as racer #80 "Full House", but its engine blew and was forced to crash-land. Later, the aircraft was sold to Jack Hardwick in the early 50's and crudely rebuilt, with a jump seat and rudimentary dual controls installed in the back of the cockpit, and would soon be sold onto the Dominican Air Force in 1954, becoming FAD 1900 (#2). The aircraft served with the Dominican AF until it was sold and imported back into the US by Brian O'Farrell in 1984. Made serviceable, the aircraft flew again on the US register as N21023 by 1990, and was sold to Jim Beasley Sr. and later owned/operated by Jim Beasley Jr., of Coatesville, PA (sharing hangar space with their P-51D "Bald Eagle"). During this time the aircraft was painted as "Frenesi", the personal mount of WWII 357th Fighter Group ace Gen. Tommy Hayes (the name inspired from a 1940 Artie Shaw tune). By the early 2000's, showing the effects of poor-quality work done on repairing/restoring the aircraft in the past, a complete rebuild of the airframe began. By 2009, the project was sold to Dan Friedkin, now registered as N357FG, and the restoration was continued at Midwest Aero Restorations, known for their award-winning authentic Mustang rebuilds. The aircraft has now emerged in early 2017, resplendent and flying again in the markings of "Frenesi".

File Description:
TMLE was designed to make the use of High Definition and Super High Definition textures easier. By default, FSX's maximum texture resolution is set to the 1024x1024 scale. TMLE can modify this to 2048x2048, and even 4096x4096, allowing you to take full advantage of HD textures. TMLE is not available in very many places these days, as the original Frosty Software website is no loner active. One day, a friend asked me if I had the original installer exe. Fortunately, after some searching on my hard drive, I was able to locate it. The idea came to us that it would be cool to make TMLE available to the public again, but not before contacting the original author. I contacted Steve Frost and he was kind enough to grant me permission to upload it. A huge thanks goes out to him for the permission and for developing such a simple, yet useful tool!

File Description:
This re-paint is for the payware iFly 737-600 for FSX. You must own the retail iFly 737 for FSX package to install and use this paint.
This paint is part of a "retro" series I painted by request of a friend who wanted a Pan Am
paint with the classic cheat line. After I finished Pan Am, I continued with TWA, NWA and
America West.
These airlines don't grace our skies anymore, and they never flew this aircraft. But I thought
it would be fun to see what they'd look like if they were still around and were flying this
model.
I may paint more in the future if I get enough requests for one.
I've used 32bit color maps to display the full detail of the aircraft with no texture
degradation you sometimes get using DXT formats. The areas where you normally don't view the
aircraft are in DXT5 format to keep performance good when you fly this repaint.
Please enjoy her!

| Moller M400 Skycar |
|
File Description:
This package contains a simulation of the Moller M400 Skycar, and was
developped in close coöperation with the Moller company.
Apart from it being fun to fly, it gives you an impression of how the real M400
Skycar will look like and behave.
Besides all the usual animations you find in an aircraft addon, it contains a
wealth of features and animations specific for this M400 Skycar, like:
- Automated nacelles, ductvanes and folding wings.
- True VTOL operation.
- Full VirtualCockpit, with moving sidesticks, throttle lever and all needed
instruments/switches to drive/fly this Skycar.
- Accurate lighting.
- Seat-dependant "camera" views.
Besides some general information on Moller's M400 Skycar, the README includes
extensive installation and flying instructions.
This package is for FSX ONLY !!!! (FS9-version: package rcbsc1-9.zip).
Compatibility note:
Although the included visual model was originally created for FS9, it is *fully*
compatible with FSX-RTM, FSX-SP1, FSX-SP2 and FSX-Accelleration.

| Boeing 747 Revised Lightmap Package |
|
File Description:
CLS Boeing 747 Revised Lightmap Package; utilizing the payware CLS model set. I neglected some of the lightmaps for all of the
747 repaints I have been cranking out lately, so here is my pennance. Included are full fuselage/tail lightmaps for the 747-100,
-200B, -200BM/Combi, -300, and -300M/Combi. Additionally, in each folder, I have included optional lightmaps to enable a tail
logo light; and for the -100/-200 models, an optional port side upper deck door window. I have only done two freighters to date,
and I made custom lightmaps from scratch for those; so no freighters are included here. I have a whole gob of freighters planned,
but haven't seen any two with identical window configurations yet, so all will have custom lightmaps. This lightmap update covers
any CLS 747 pax repaint I have done prior to this release; and all subsequent repaints will have the updated lightmaps already included. Repaints by Michael Pearson.

| Bristol F2B Mk.1 (Part 3) |
|
File Description:
Flight Simulator X version of the Bristol Fighter Mk.1 or 'Biff' as it was called by it's crews in WW1. This file is part 3 of a 4 part download and contains visual models and textures depicting E2459 of 'B' Flight No. 88 Sqdn RFC/RAF, with the second long form of horizontal exhausts. This file requires the prior successful installations of parts 1 & 2 (F2BX1Pt1.zip and F2BX1Pt2.zip) The remaining download is optional. This aircraft was modeled using 3DS Max 8.0 and compiled using FSX SDK tools and will only work in FSX or higher. It is NOT compatible with FS2004. The aircraft makes full use of FSX materials and also features skinned animated crew members in the external model. It also features a detailed virtual cockpit. All instruments, levers and selectors are modeled in the 3D model. It does not use the FSX gauge system and there is NO 2D cockpit.
