| MMSD - Los Cabos Intl |
|
File Description:
This afcad file is for MMSD - San Jose Del Cabo, better known as Cabo San Lucas. The default afcad was too small for the substantial scheduled traffic in and out of this airport. The following work has been done:
1. Apron (tarmac) enlarged.
2. Airport vehicle routes added.
3. Perimeter fence realigned. It now meets at the terminal buildings instead of going around them.
4. Incongrous heavy maintenance hanger removed and replaced by generic terminal building. There has been no attempt at any realistic reproduction.
5. Fuel pumps and fuel parking space has been removed.
Because MMSD is a small airport without jetways, there are no gate assignments for airlines. The airport still looks bleak without any surrounding buildings or roads, but should have enough space so that AI scheduled aircraft can park up to the B752 for US Airways. There is also a cargo space and three ramp GA spaces.

| Lockhart River Air Crash Simulation V2 with Standard and Enhanced Realism modes |
|
File Description:
This mission accurately simulates the flight details, weather conditions and radio traffic of the Lockhart River Air Disaster that occured in Queensland, Australia on the 7th of May 2005. This mission can now be played in two ways.
In the standard mode (the default) there are guidance gates, relaxed flight profiles and no phase timers to beat.
When you complete the mission you will have a very good idea on how the incicent happened and you will be rewarded with the standard medal.
The enhanced realsim mode is tough and challenging. To succeed you have to fly each phase of the mission to a tight timeframe and flight profile, overfly the crash site and safely land at Lockhart River, all in IFR conditions with no autopilot. If you succeed and complete the mission you are rewarded with the enhanced medal. Are you good enough?

| FSX A321 Workaround for Shockwave 3d – Redux lights |
|
File Description:
FSX A321 landing or taxi lights only in shockwave Redux.
Workaround for Shockwave 3d – Redux lights in the default A320. (an easter egg!)
When you install the Shockwave 3d lights (both the plain version and the Redux version) you will end up with a plane that can not land with it’s lights on without having it’s gear down.
Luckily, there is a taxi light switch on the overhead panel that works.
Therefore by removing the “lights out when gear up command” by the shockwave gauge, lights won’t go out when gear is up any more.
Now you’ll have to switch the gear lights (not the landing lights!) off by clicking the taxi lights switch on the overhead, and the taxi (gear) lights actually go out, while the landing lights stay on (and vice versa, and you also can have both on or off at the same time)

| 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.

| KLCI - Laconia Municipal Airport - Laconia, NH |
|
File Description:
Here is an improved version of the stock Laconia Municipal Airport. This airport had a lot of issues with
buildings on roads or in the water, boundary fences in the water, etc. I fixed those issues and adjusted and
added aprons,roads and taxiways to more closely match reality. I replaced most default buildings and added
additional buildings. I added the parking lot and static vehicles, aircraft, light poles, and other filler objects.
The runway at Laconia was lengthened in real life and I corrected the length in FSX. It was lengthened
primarily to accomodate biz jets of race teams and others attending the NASCAR events at nearby Loudon, NH.
Laconia Airport is located on scenic Lake Winnipesaukee and not far from Weirs Beach. Laconia hosts a
week-long motorcycle rally each June, usually a week after the Americade Rally in Lake George, NY.

| Mesh South America / MeSA Islands |
|
File Description:
FSX Mesh South America Project:
This terrain mesh file is a part of a whole project covering all the Continent of South America and some islands, divided in tiles identified in a map by its column (letters) and rows (numbers).
Those files were multi-LOD compiled from 90m SRTM2 source data, reprocessed with 3DEM to remove voids and spikes, providing a 76.4m (LOD9) horizontal resolution topography intended for use only in FSX updated with SP1.
Although not well documented, to improve performance, the updated FSX loads DEM files in threads and only the closer terrain (about 5 NM from the point of view) is rendered in high detail, while at far distances FSX shows up its default low resolution mesh, when there is not a third part terrain mesh compiled in all others intermediate level of details (multi-LOD).

| Hawes Aerial Operations Facility |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Hawes Aerial Operations Facility is a reimagined version of an abandoned World War II auxiliary airstrip formerly known as Hawes AAF Aux #1. It was built in the mojave desert, just east of Edwards AFB (then Muroc AAF) during WWII as one of 4 satellite fields for Victorville AAF. After the war, Hawes as used as a private civilian airfield until it's closure in the early 1960's. It is now reborn in FSX as a UAV base by Nevada Systems. Due to it's location in the Mojave desert and the presence of many thermals in FSX, it was also used in production of the Aeroworks ARX-1 civilian glider concept. This scenery uses many custom macros as well as default macros from the Acceleration Expansion Pack, which is required for best performance. Scenery and custom macros by Joshua B. Nyhus and Jason L. Terry
