| Rybachiy Submarine Base "The Hornet's Nest" |

File Description:
Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base, NATO reporting name "The Hornet's Nest." This scenery is specific to the Aerosoft addon "Kamchatka - the Lost Continent." You are welcome to use it, regardless, but in testing, only half the peninsula showed with the Aerosoft scenery inactive.
Rybachiy has a long and chequered past as the home of the Soviet Pacific submarine fleet. It launched the ill fated K-129 in 1968 and is the final stop for submarines before being "disposed" of, a process that includes either sinking the nuclear core, or interring it indefinitely on a floating platform.
I more or less copied the state depicted in Wikimapia, it shows the docks relatively clear of excess retired subs and 10 or 12 Grumble launchers at the SAM site, which is no longer the case. I wonder who's buying up the retired SA-10's..
The odd looking torpedo on the loading dock is the 240 mph, super-cavitating VA-111 Shkval, which is essentially a rocket engined defensive weapon. A consequence of the presumed and persistent superiority of Western underwater acoustics, it is understood that the enemy would "get the drop." In such a circumstance, the crew would load a Shkval and fire it in the direction of the approaching torpedo, which would force the attacking sub to sever the control wire to avoid being hit.
Elsewhere, at the SLBM dock, you can see the R-29 Vysota being loaded. It is being advertized as a launch platform for low orbit satellites, besides MIRV's, of course. The SLBM dock is removed from the main base. Steer north of west from the docks, or use Wikimapia to find it.
This is an edit and enhancement of a scenery addon already published by Blaunarwal. He did an excellent job adding detail to Yelizovo, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Avachinskiy Bay. I contacted him and asked if he would collaborate and edit his AI boat traffic to match the docks I moved and he graciously agreed. I tried to arrange the files so it would be equally easy to install to the previous version or as an original.

| Khalifa Airways Airbus A330-300 C-FRAV |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Repaint for the Blackbox Simulations (BBS) Airbus A330-300 v0.85+ in the colours of Khalifa Airways (K6/KZW)of Algeria. This company operated from 1999 to 2003 when it went spectacularly bankrupt along with the rest of the Khalifa Group. The company leased two A330-300s from Canadian charter company Skyservice, C-FRAE and C-FRAV (depicted in this repaint). These aircraft were mostly used on the trunk routes to France but were also spotted in Spain and *may* have occasionally served Jeddah (Hajj charters) and Dubai.
C-FRAV was returned to Skyservice and rejoined its initial operator LTU, then Air Berlin, before spending a few years in Russia until it was scrapped at St Athan in 2017.
This is my 1st ever repaint, and is therefore far from perfect, but I think it gets the job done.

File Description:
N999MH, (Strangely, no date for when it was built) left sunny California to live at Compton Abbas Airfield, Wiltshire (EGHA) The owner, Detiger Elizabeth, (I'm intrigued by that name)a member of The Air Squadron UNA, won't thank me for bringing this up: "25 October 2003. "After a normal start, the pilot taxied his tail wheel aircraft across the grass towards the holding area for Runway 26. The weather was good with a light north-westerly surface wind. Two other aircraft were stationary, holding for the runway, and the pilot of N999MH failed to see one of these aircraft.The right wing of N999MH struck the propeller of one of these aircraft, G-AYEV." Oops!
As per usual, only download this paint if you possess a bona fide copy of Alabeo's C195 Businessliner 'cos you know it ain't right otherwise. ;-)

| BAe Harrier GR3 XV741 233 OCU RAF |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my rendition of XV741 with tailcode "I" flown by 233 OCU , RAF Wittering circa 1988 .XV741 was the fourth production Harrier and took part in the Transatlantic Air Race in 1969. Modifications include panellines , rivets , squadron badge on flying suit , changed colour of helmet , changed number on GPU and added new bump & spec maps ( where needed ) .
There are however certain limitations with the texture mapping , for example the rear section of the main fuselage is only shown once in the paintkit,so the camouflage pattern is mirrored .One of the flaps is also mirrored above and below the wing,so all camouflage using Light Aircraft Grey undersides aren't shown correctly..The fuel tank has the same problem as certain sections are also mirrored.The camera was only mounted on the port side of the nose,not port and starboard.

| Lancair Legacy (N23LF) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lynn Farnsworth built, with the help of with Andy Chiavetta of Aerochia, a Lancair Legacy for racing in the Sport Class at the Reno air races. He had hoped to have it ready to go in 2004, but it wasn't ready until after the race was over. It's modeled after Darryl Greenamyers race plane.
N23LF, aka 'Miss Karen II', has a modified TSIO-550 engine and twin turbochargers. The first 'Miss Karen' flown by Lynn, was a F-100 Misty FAC at Phan Rang AB, RVN. Karen, wouldn't you know, is Lynn's wife. Another case of 'name you plane after your wife and you get to keep it!' :-)
Google Lt Col. Lynn Farnsworth, he's a heck of a guy!
I trust you all have a paid for copy of RealAir's Lancair Legacy. If not, people will be round to see you!

| American Airlines NC Boeing 787-8 GE *** UPDATE *** |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
American Airlines NC Boeing 787-8 GE, for use with the Aerosim payware Boeing 787 (www.aerosim.co.jp).
This update of aalnc788ge.zip is a complete re-paint of the base colours of the fuselage and engines, creating patterns and gradients which better represent the mica silver used on the real aircraft. The gradients presented all sorts of interesting challenges matching where the textures get mapped onto the air frame in order to ensure that there are no stark differences at the joins. The work is now complete and the result is that the aircraft now really looks more silver than plain grey.
After completing the base colours, many fine details were also updated - such as cargo doors, decals, APU doors, nose cone, paint around the cockpit windows, detail under the fuselage, warning lines on engine and fuselage, and much more.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the freeware Warwick "Wozza" Carter AT-6G Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D Ser. 42-84757, N43826, registered to Natre Air III, LLC. This aircraft was restored by Midwest Texans for owner Nathan Davis, and painted in the fictional, but beautiful, markings of a 325th FG "hack" to match the owner's P-51D "Checkertail Clan". This aircraft won the "Judges' Choice: T-6" award at Oshkosh 2008 and the "Preservation Award" at Oshkosh 2009. This aircraft is often flown in the very capable hands of female warbird pilot Laura Stants. This repaint includes all new exterior textures (including specular and bump maps), new engine and modified wheel well textures, and new and modified cockpit textures throughout. This repaint requires the files t6texmod.zip and fsds_t-6update.zip to be installed first.

File Description:
PLUNA LiÂneas Aereas Uruguayas S.A. was the flag carrier of Uruguay until its liquidation on 5 July, 2012. PLUNA operated from its hub at Carrasco International Airport (SUMU) in Montevideo, Uruguay, and operated flights mainly to neighbouring countries Argentina and Brazil, although the United States and Spain also once belonged to its destinations.
This aircraft, MSN22738 was delivered new to PLUNA in January 1985. In both 1984, 1988 and 1990 it was leased to Dutch charter airline Transavia for over half a year. In the 1988 lease period Transavia on its turn leased it to Britannia Airways. It returned to PLUNA service every time, until in November 2009 it was sold to Mexican carrier Global Air. It is currently parked (engines removed) at Opa-Locka Executive Airport (KOPF) in Miami, Florida. Repaint for Captain Sim 737-200ADV.
