File Description:
Ridge Soaring Gliderport (79N) is a public-use glider airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southwest of the central business district of Unionville, in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is privately owned by Knauff & Grove, Inc. Tom Knauff and Doris grove are among the whos who in American and International soaring community.
Portions of the 1999 movie The Thomas Crown Affair were filmed here.
Co-owner Thomas L. Knauff set five FAI world records, and over 50 NAA national records flying from this airport.
Co-owner Doris Grove set three FAI feminine world records flying from this airport, and was the first woman to fly a glider more than 1000 km.
This FBO airport is world famous for ridge, thermal and wave soaring. It is located on U.S. Route 220 (alternate) 8 miles south of Interstate 80, between Unionville and Julian, at the base of the Bald Eagle Mountain ridge. It is approximately 10 miles from State College and approximately midway between Altoona and Lock Haven in the Bald Eagle Valley. Visitors can look at an entire wall of U.S. National and World records that have been set from this airfield.
Sadly as with so many small airports, Ridge Soaring is in risk of disappearing. for sale for many years, with no takers it may be sold to developers and disappear forever.
In FSX the airport was on the wrong side of the highway and cut into a mountain, I moved it to its proper location and heading, made the runway the correct size and heading, and added all the current buildings.

| RAF Wickenby (1940s) |
|
File Description:
RAF Wickenby was a purpose built Royal Air Force station constructed late 1942 and early 1943 it had two T2 type
hangars and one B1 type. The B1 and one of the T2 hangars can still be seen on the airfield site. The T2 near the
threshold of runway 21 was recently acquired by the airfield owners and after many years of industrial use is now,
once more, an aircraft hangar.
The airfield covered about 600 acres (2.4 km2), and had the usual three runway configuration with perimeter track,
hard standings, a brick watchtower and numerous brick and metal buildings for the aircrews and ground staff. A number
of the buildings were to the east (Communal Site, Living Quarters, WAAF Quarters) and stretched to and beyond the
Lissington road - a road travelled many an evening by the airmen and women who visited their favourite watering hole,
the White Hart at Lissington. The Sick Quarters were to the south of the airfield together with a Communal Site and
Living Quarters.
The north part of the former airfield is now known as Wickenby Aerodrome, which is a grass and concrete airfield. A
road from Holton cum Beckering to Snelland runs right over the former airfield. Companies based at the airfield are
Thruster Aircraft who make microlight planes; Fly365 Ltd who fly pleasure flights; and Rase Distribution - a haulage
firm. Planes using the airfield have to make contact first with the control tower at RAF Waddington.
The Watch Office is the home of the RAF Wickenby Memorial Collection and the Wickenby Archive, a museum and collection
of memorabilia and archive dedicated to the memory of the Squadrons who served here.

| JELAIR - Spaceshuttle Orbiter Enterprise - v2008-05-22 |
|
File Description:
!!! NEW ZIP-FILE !!! If you had trouble with the previous zip-file (if it didn't unzip at all, or if files where missing after unzipping, etc) you should get this one instead. The filenames have been changed to make sure it unzips on all systems --- About this addon: The approach&landing test spaceshuttle orbiter "Enterprise". This is the orbiter-vehicle NASA used to test the landing phase with before launching the first spaceshuttle into space. It has no 3-D model, but a detailed FDE based on available information. It has panel and sound included. It has addon-scenery for Kennedy Space Center included. It can fly a fully automated flight from lift-off to wheel-stop from anywhere in the FSX-world (the last 22 miles of gliding unpowered approach-phase is fairly realistically simulated, but the lift-off and flight uses slew and engine-power)

| KCOS - Colorado Springs Municipal Airport/Peterson AFB - Colorado Springs, CO |
|
File Description:
Following the tragic passing of Shelly Johnson, I was contacted by Dakota Smith (Smith Graphics) about
upgading Colorado Springs Municipal Airport for the VATSIM Fly-In on November 15, 2008 in Shelly's honor.
Dakota did the "afcad" for the airport, packing in as many parking spaces as possible to accomodate the
Fly-In attendees. He then sent the file to me and I replaced most of the default buildings and added many
more. I adjusted some aprons, added others, added some roads, and static scenery objects.
Please note that the "afcad" was designed for the Fly-In and does not provide accurate airline assignments,
military parking, etc. As stated above, Dakota packed in as many parking spaces as possible, and assigned
many gates to Continental, Shelly's favorite airline.
A second "afcad" will be released by Dakota Smith the day after the Fly-In that will have more realistic
parking.

| Kota Kinabalu International Airport AFCAD WBKK Update 1.3 - Sabah, Malaysia |
|
File Description:
This update to the WBKK airport I created using the freeware Airport Design Editor X (v1.47.07) includes:
- a vehicle taxi network for the fuel truck and other FSX vehicles which reduces the probability of vehicles using the runway and aircraft taxipaths.
- a parallel taxipath that runs from runway 20 and expanded apron that are both still under construction
- additional stationary airport vehicles and light aircrafts
- addition/edit of some objects' appearance and/or position
with FSX object libraries. Some new objects (lightposts and car parking lots) from the Acceleration pack are added for more realism, but may not be visible for the FSX RTM users.
The surrounding scenery buildings are created based on photos taken from Google Maps and other sites about Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA). The runway is extended along with 17 larger parkings (with jetways) based on Wikipedia and the web photos.

| PABT PATA UTO 6A8 (Alaska) Upgrades |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This scenery upgrades PABT, PATA, UTO and 6A8 in Alaska. Upgrades include taxiways, hangers, airport buildings, aircraft and ground vehicles, helipads and other objects. It also updates the 2 water runways at PABT as start points which in FSX they aren't start points. The water runway area is updated with marina objects, a float plane dock, float plane support shops and buildings and a private residence with a private dock for boats and float planes. The helipads were an addition because I use Flight 1's heli-traffic and have helo traffic flying back and forth. Future upgrades to several of the small airports in the area will include AI helo and bush plane traffic. Read the text file for info and installation instructions. 4 pictures are included of each airports upgrades. Please enjoy these upgrades and check the Avsim library for future upgrades coming soon.

| Provincetown Municipal Airport (KPVC) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airport was made using Airport Facilitator X, and Instant Scenery 2. Provincetown Municipal Airport is a small airport located in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Cape Air is the only airline that flies there. I added a more accurate terminal, and an aircraft hangar. I put three fuel trucks on the ramp with a fuel station. I made the taxiways the correct length and width. I also put static aircraft on the ramp and added more gates. I made a parking lot with many cars in it. If you choose to start off from a DOCK gate, you will start off inside the aircraft hanger. Taxiing or starting off inside of the hanger will cause a crash unless you have crashes turned off. This is all based on Google Earth and Bing Maps. Please read the readme for instructions on how to install. This is for Flight Simulator X only.

| PASD - Sand Point, Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The airport of Sand Point (PASD) has been extended since Microsoft has modeled it and even after the upgrade through Scenery Solution's Ultimate Terrain X Alaska has been produced. This AFCAD is built on the UTX version of the airport and is intended to be used in this environment only.
The file considers the extended runway, VASI4 at both ends with 3.6 deg glideslope and the necessary new water-polygon. Due to the specific coastline bitmaps used by UTX I had to change to Microsoft's default ones being accessible through the wonderful tool Airport Design Editor X. Some additional landclass in the airport's vicinity and three (default) buildings close to the apron are completing the changes. I did not touch the easterly landing stage (or whatever it could have been) even if Google suggests that it disappeared meanwhile except some remaining piles in the water - it's just looking nice. ;-)

| X5SB - Sutton Bank Yorkshire Soaring Club - North Yorkshire, England |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description: For ORBX England only.
This is a departure for me. away from Appalachia across the pond to Merry
England. This will be the first in a small series of English Glider fields, and
WW2 airfields.
All buildings are made using sketchup. These are exactly sized as all original
buildings and properly located. Improved the area around Hangars.
Sutton Bank, also known as Roulston Scar, is a hill in the Hambleton District of
North Yorkshire in England. The Yorkshire Gliding Club is based at the top of
the hill. A popular slope soaring site since the 1930's, it now is a major site
for aerotowing as well as winch launching sailplanes.
This scenery will appear nicely in the stock FSX, BUT, the field will not be
very flat, use at your own discretion.
