File Description:
This is a repaint of the Canadair CL-44 in Tradewinds Airways colors. You need the freeware Canadair CL-44 by Mike Stone. Tradewinds was a British air cargo company. In November 1968, Transglobe Airways ceased operations, leaving a fleet of Canadair CL-44s lease-purchased from Seaboard World Airlines in limbo. Later in the month, Bobwood was formed to takeover the aircraft lease. Bobwood's name was changed to Tradewind Airways in January 1969 and all three ex-Transglobe Airways CL-44s were transferred over to the new company. Due to Seaboard World Airlines (a U.S. Cargo airline) having a large interest in Tradewinds, the British Government would not issue a license. Thus, in April, a British group was put together to take over the company. Consequently, a route network was developed primarily to Africa and North America in 1971–1976. Also in 1972, the carrier began flying from London Heathrow, often on all-cargo subcontracts for foreign airlines. In January 1977, Tradewinds became a wholly owned subsidiary of the multinational Lonrho Group. They received the 707-320Cs soon after. In 1978–1979, Tradewinds offered scheduled jet freight services from London to points in Africa, USA, and Canada. Unfortunately, in January 1986, Tradewinds ceased operations, citing overcapacity, undercutting by competing charter services, and stringent new noise abatement rules as cause of the demise. Its assetts were purchased by Tal Air, a British business travel airline, and tried to revive Tradewinds with freight services to Africa and the Middle East, however it was not to be, and they finally shut down for good in 1990.
Textures are 32bit bmp. This aircraft was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX and FS2004.
*This is strictly an FS2004 model. However, I used it on FSX-SE by replacing the FS2004 panel and gauges with an FSX 2D panel, and it worked well. I have included two internet links for users of FSX, who wish to fly the aircraft, with easy instructions on how to go about replacing the FS2004 panels with FSX ones.

| RPLC - Diosdado Macapagal International Clark International, Philippines |
|
File Description:
This Afcad/AFD for RPLC - Diosdad Macapagal International Airport (previously Clark International Airport and Clark AFB) in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines was made with ADE V1.37 and is for the default RPLC airport in FSX.
Diosdado Macapagal International Airport is currently a significant low cost carrier and UPS hub for the Philippines and is under development - ultimately intended to replace Ninoy Aquino Airport, Manila (RPLL) as the Premier Gateway to the Philippines. Domestic traffic is currently limited to Cebu Pacific and South East Asian Airlines. The airport handles international traffic - AirAsia, Asiana, Tiger Airways, Hong Kong Express, Hong Kong Airlines and Transglobal - including their recently launched flights to Dhaka and Fujairah - as well as international flights for Asian Spirit to and from Seoul. Cargo use includes a very significant UPS hub, Yangtze River Express, Transglobal and Pacific East Asia Cargo Airlines. Philippine Air Force C-130's are also frequent visitors.
Aprons and taxiways have been changed as needed, additional cargo and airline specific maintenance aprons added, taxiways surfaced correctly, gates and parking spaces coded for airlines and aircraft types using the airport. Many buildings have been changed to be more representative of the real thing. The default airport lacks coding and sees little of the actual traffic coming to RPLC. Use of this file increases traffic and places them where they should park. Tested with WOAI, MAIW's Exotic Alberts Package Philippines Part 1 and custom AI.

| GABS Bamako Senou International Airport |
|
File Description:
Bamako Senou International Airport (IATA: BKO, ICAO: GABS) is Malis main airport approximately 15 km south of downtown Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa. It is managed by Aeroports du Mali (ADM). Its operations are overseen
by the Malian Ministry of Equipment and Transports. Senou Airport was opened to traffic in 1974. The airport was upgraded between 2007 and 2012 in a 181 million US dollar project funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a United
States foreign aid agency. Passenger traffic steadily increased in the early 2000s. Government figures show 403,380 passengers in 1999, 423,506 in 2003, 486,526 in 2004, and 516,000 in 2005. It is predicted to reach over 900,000 by 2015
under a low (4%) yearly growth rate scenario.
To date this growth rate has been surpassed. Total air traffic at BKO increased by 12.4% in 2007 and 14% in 2008. Most of this increase came in passenger transport, with the number of passengers served increasing by 20% in 2007 and 17%
in 2008. Twenty-seven airline carriers operated weekly or better at BKO in the 2007-2008 period. This continued growth was offset by cargo flights decline of 16.75% in 2007, and 3.93% in 2008.
The highest frequency route is on the Bamako-Dakar sector with 29 weekly non-stop connections. Domestic flights also serve Mali's regional capitals Kayes, Mopti, Timbuktu, Sikasso, Gao, and Kidal.
This work is dedicated to West Wind Airlines.

| Douglas C-47 (X-1) Dutch Air Force |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for version 3.14 of the Douglas C-47 by Manfred Jahn and colleagues in the colors of X-1 of the Dutch Air Force. The Dutch Air Force received her first Dakota's in 1952, although they owned one in 1946, but that crashed near Katwijk the same year and was destroyed. That one carried the registration X-1, but that is not the subject of my paint... The Air Force later leased one C-47 from the KLM, gave it the military registration X-2, but it kept its civil registration, PH-TBV, on the tail. Later they leased a few more, and clearly they liked them, because they bought a few more in 1952. The first one was taken on charge in 1952 and was numbered X-1 as depicted in this repaint. The makers badge with its construction number was missing however, and nobody seems to know where this aircraft came from. The logbook mentions the aircraft was 'found'. There was a rumour that the aircraft had been used by refugees from the east and landed at Valkenburg airfield without registration. About a year later, in
the aircraft made an emergency landing near Valkenburg after taking off for a relief flight for the flooded areas in the south of the Netherlands on 6 februari 1953 and was written off.Repaint by Jan Kees Blom for Manfred Jahn's C-47 version 3.14, based on the paintkit by Gman5250.

| LIPZ - Venice Tessera Intl. Airport "Marco Polo" |
|
File Description:
Afcad file of LIPZ (Venice Tessera "Marco Polo") airport for FSX default scenery. In order to make the scenery as close as possible to the real airport the layout is based on the newest Jeppesen parking chart of LIPZ, on the Aeronautical Information Publication Italy and on photos of the real airport.
Main things that have been changed:
- RWY 4L/22R has been converted into main taxiway (as it is in the real LIPZ);
- runway strips and stopways have been added;
- Precision Approach Path Indicators with 3° slope have been added on both sides of RWY 4R/22L;
- according to ICAO documents, since RWY 4R/22L is a precision runway of the 3rd category the holding positions have been moved at 90 m and taxiways and apron links have been reduced to 23, 18 and 15 m;
- the approach lighting system has been modified to look as close as possible like the real one;
- parking codes have been added to match the latest airport timetable.
Note: In real life nearly 100% of the departures from RWY 4R (which is the runway in use during day almost all days of the year - RWY 22L is in use during night when the wind's direction changes) use SIDs based on the CHI VOR which means that even the airlines which fly to north once airborn won't turn left but right and make half circle in order to head north. I tried to make the aircraft fly like the real ones assigning right hand pattern to RWY 4R but seems that it doesn't work - aircraft that fly to north, after takeoff will turn left instead of turning right and making half circle.

| KMSP - Minneapolis-St. Paul Intl |
|
File Description:
Building on the work of Carlyle Sharpe, this file set updates Minneapolis-St. Paul Intl Airport adding runway 17/35 along with other features. The west end of the airfield now has default buildings representing the facilities for Mesaba, Sun Country and Champion Air along with the west-end cargo-ops. Buildings have been removed from the runway 35 end of 17/35 as they were relocated to the L5 apron. This set includes a reworked set of approaches based in part on what was in the FSX default and also the work Jim Vile did for fs9 used here by permission and adjusted for FSX with a few additions. As a result the star runway technique is in use. Please consult the readme for proper operation. Additional airport detail scenery is also provided.

| OPSD Skardu Airport Pakistan |
|
File Description:
This is an airport layout file (AFCAD) for the default OPSD Airport at Skardu in the heart of the Kashmir (administered by Pakistan). This file adds aprons, three GA gates, and three commercial gates of medium size. As the default does not include any parking, without this file, you will not see any AI traffic parked at OPSD. Skardu is a popular base for trekkers and climbers in the Karakoram range, featuring absolutely stunning scenery. The narrow valley of the Indus river is surrounded by some of the highest mountains on earth. OPSD is served by PIA and private charters from Islamabad (OPRN - see my separate AFCAD). I have inclosed a flightplan for the offical route from OPRN to OPSD in standard MS FS format. Tested with WoAI only.
