File Description:
Welcome to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon!
This scenery is a mostly fictitious representation of what the North Rim might look like of it had been developed like the South rim. A new airport (KKPA, Kaibab Plateau Airport) is the centerpiece. It sits at 8,730 ft MSL so density altitude is a real issue. Runway 17/35 is 6,500ft long so biz jets can get in and out safely. A new resort sits atop the ridge to the east [Eagle's Nest]. There is a helipad for access. An NDB makes finding it easier [AZ95 220.9 kHz]. Or you can just follow the traffic on the access road that branches off from highway 67 just south of the airport. To the north I have added a gravel strip to Jacob Lake where 67 joins 89A. Runway 14/32 is 3000 ft long and sits at 7900 ft MSL. An NDB [AZ93 393 kHz] is included. At the south end of Highway 67 sits the North Rim Visitor Center. There is a helipad on the roof for those who like rotary wing challenges. The NDB is AZ94 at 423.4 kHz. The entire length of Highway 67 is represented with traffic going both ways. You will see
air traffic from KGCN at the South Rim and traffic between KKPA and Jacob Lake.

Korean Airlines Boeing 747-8B5/i (HL7630). REPAINT ONLY FOR FSX PMDG 747-400 expansion pack -8i/-8f
This livery is still fictional but I tried to collect as much data as I could from the -400 model as well as the concept/
previews of the -8i model. The real Korean 748i is still unpainted but is sitting in storage at Paine Field.
Features:
1. Korean Airlines Logo (New Livery with correct positions in referenced to the aircraft concepts).
2. Accurate placement of the SkyTeam Logo.
3. Korean text below the first class windows.
4. Studied and averaged precise sky blue color for fuselage.
5. Grey Stripe also averaged for closest match.
6. Grey Engine colors.
7. Korean Airlines Logo on the engines (accurate placement and removed engine warnings).
8. Studied design to create the "Closest" experience to the real thing.
9. White window door frames.
9. Boeing 747-8i decal above the last set of 8 windows (in Boeing font and accurate dark blue color).
10.Registration on the tail in accurate position, spacing, font, and color.
11.Korean Air logo flipped correctly (right side) and Flag included on top.
12.Added dirt textures to tail and aft belly.
13.Registration in accurate place on wing (color and font also studied and accurate).

File Description:
C-5M SUPER-GALAXY:
The US Air Force has initiated a comprehensive upgrade program to ensure the capability of the C-5 fleet to at least 2040. The first phase of the upgrade is the avionics modernization program (AMP). The second phase, the C-5 reliability enhancement and re-engineering program (RERP) is to upgrade the aircraft's engines, pylons and improve reliability. The C-5s that complete these upgrades are designated C-5M Super Galaxy.
This aircraft has been rebuilt using real world aero/engine dynamics which are all public access related, and some based on real world aerodynamic formulas. The aircraft in this version includes all correct aerodynamic characteristics, correct engine dynamics, correct weight/balance, correct payload management, correct wheel details, and correct Moments of Inertia. As far as I know, nothing is incorrect, and any real world C-5M pilot will likely agree. This all required over 5 years of study and test flights in my free time. It is now at a point where I cannot find anything new to correct. This version also includes AFCAD files to help the user simulate realistic flights to/from normal C-5M bases.

| FSX An Idaho Mountain Flying adventure |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Welcome to the Heart of Idaho!
The mountain country has to be seen to be believed. As one who grew up exploring
this part of the US I had the fortunate opportunity to do things that most just dream about. Who wouldn't want to
swim in hot-spring fed lakes, or pools? Idaho has more hot springs than any other state. Have you ever climbed up
to a pass at 10,000 feet? And then looked down at those who chose not to climb 1500 feet below, looked left at your
brother, and then looked over the pass at the mountain basin that begged to be explored. I did these things 58 years
ago. You can do it tomorrow if you want to.
This FSX adventure will take you to many places I have visited. It will also take you to places that I have not yet
visited. Some of the strips are difficult to get into. That is typical of mountain flying. Some are reasonable.
Your flying skills will be tested as you figure out the best approach.
The simulation consists of 19 airports in Central Idaho. Twelve existing strips have had improvements consisting of
strip surface improvements to allow all-season activity, and some eye candy. Seven new air facilities have been
added to the area.

| RAF North Creake |
|
File Description:
RAF North Creake is a former Royal Air Force station located 3.3 miles (5.3 km) southwest of Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk and 5.7 miles (9.2 km) northwest of Fakenham, Norfolk, England.
Originally used in 1941 as a decoy site for RAF Docking, construction of this Class A airfield began in October 1942, with the station being provided with accommodation for 2,951 male and 411 female staff. The airfield had 36 loop type hardstandings, two T2 hangars and one B1 hangar.
By December 1943 the airfield had passed to 100 Group, although it did not immediately become operational as consideration was given to upgrading the airfield to Very Heavy Bomber Standard. In the event, this did not take place, with RAF Sculthorpe being selected for upgrade.
Short Stirling III's from 199 Squadron arrived in May 1944 to complete Window and Mandrel operations against enemy radar tracking of Bomber Command raids, however, in March 1945 these were changed to Handley Page Halifax III's. In September 1944, No. 199's 'C' Flight was used to re-form 171 Squadron, who contributed to 100 Group's radio counter-measures activities with Halifaxes.
The RAF relinquished the station in 1947, and the area is now used for agriculture, though some evidence of runways, buildings and facilities remains. Seventeen aircraft were lost from the airfield, eight Stirling's and nine Halifax's.
The control tower survives, and has been converted into a house, offering bed and breakfast.

| YWWI - Woodie Woodie Manganese Mine, Western Australia |
|
File Description:
YWWI Woodie Woodie Manganese Mine - Pilbara Manganese, a wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Minerals (Consmin), operates the Woodie Woodie mine, which produces high-grade manganese ore of superior quality. The ore is sold to the international steel industry. Production in 2010 was 1,238,000t @ 46.2% Mn, with a capacity of 2.5mtpa of high grade lump and fines. The high-grade lump produced by the mine is an ideal blending material with high manganese and is very low in phosphorus. Furthermore, the lump is hard, has very low degradation and high thermal stability. The mine has a 100.5km2 mining corridor and approximately 5,500km2 of greenfield areas outside this corridor. Multiple open pits are in operation and owner mining of ore is used to promote selectivity and to minimise dilution. The mine also employs contract mining of waste to promote efficient bulk mining practices. The mineral processing techniques include crushing, screening and heavy media separation. Woodie Woodie has a new camp and an all-weather air-strip constructed in 2009, suitable for large aircrafts. Ore is trucked to Port Hedland for shipment. Consmin has committed in excess of A$34 million to exploration in 2011, with the intention to explore more than 60 corridor targets and more than 130 regional targets from nine prospect areas. www.consminerals.com.au/m/files/fs/woodie-woodie-fact-sheet.pdf REQUIRES Blencowe_LibraryKit.zip

File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Warbirdsim product 'Mustang Tales'. This repaint depicts the restored P-51D-20-NA 44-72438, "Hell-er Bust", registered N7551T. This specific aircraft is known to have been delivered to the 8th Air Force in England in late January 1945, however no available records indicate any combat time or what, if any, Fighter Group the aircraft was assigned. Following the end of WWII the aircraft served with the Swedish AF as Fv26131, and then with the Dominican AF as FAD 1920. After being imported back into the U.S. in the 1980's, the aircraft was purchased by Selby Burch and given a ground-up restoration. Finished in 118th TRS markings, the aircraft won the Grand Champion WWII Warbird award at Sun 'N Fun 1997. The aircraft was later purchased by Bob Jepson/Lady Alice Corporation and first repainted as 'Lady Alice' and then as 'Hell-er Bust'. In 2006 the aircraft was obtained by the Historic Aircraft Foundation and based at Paine Field, near Seattle, WA. Since 2009, the aircraft has been owned by Mark Peterson/Mustang High Flight LLC, based at Boise, Idaho, and remains finished as 'Hell-er Bust'. The markings depict an original wartime mount of Lt. Col. Edwin L. 'Ed' Heller, a P-51D-10-NA (44-14696) of the 486th FS, 352nd FG. This repaint features new bump maps, wheel well, gun bay, and cockpit textures.

| Global Airways Douglas C-54 |

File Description:
The repaint features Global Airways' N79000, an early production Douglas C-54 (c/n 3058) built at the Douglas factory at Santa Monica, CA, and delivered to the USAAF on February 8, 1943 as 41-37272. In 1946 the Civil Aviation Administration took her over as NC79000. Having been converted to DC-4 standard, she was bought on April 11, 1951 by Eastern Air Lines as N79000 '721'. In May 1955 she was sold and served many users such as Northwest, Transocean and World. In 1960 California Airmotive became the owner of the C-54. During September and October 1960 the C-54 was leased by Global Airways, a company based in Philadelphia, PA, from 1946 to around 1960. (founded by Simon Bolnick and Joseph Raphael; passenger charter operations included fishing and hunting charters to Canada.) In May 1961 the C-54 was sold as D-ADAM to Continentale in Germany. Already in December 1962 Continentale went bankrupt and the aircraft was stored in the open at Hamburg. In July 1963 Aviation Traders (Engineering) Ltd purchased the C-54 for conversion to Carvair car-ferry aircraft. As it turned out, the condition of the C-54 was extremely poor (corrosion on many places on the wing spars) so makeshift repairs were done before the aircraft was ferried to Stansted for its rebuild to Carvair G-ASKN.
Textures only. You will need Jens B. Kristensen's FSX Douglas DC-4 & C-54 (DC4_V30X.ZIP). Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.

Images related to this file:
File Description: This scenery has been developed for FSX Flight Simulator SP1 or SP2. It
has also been tested with Microsoft Acceleration , but compatibility is not
guaranteed by the author.
The scenery includes: Two carrier groups CVN68 and CVN69, ( carrier models from
Javier Fernandez ), two AI KC-135 tanker aircraft, AI F-18A aircraft approaching
the carrier, Navy destroyer and a Navy Cruiser as escort ships for the carrier,
a number of oil platforms and the ARS4 radar gauge which displays air targets
and boat targets.
The ARS4 radar gauge provides also a auto landing function for the carrier and a
auto tracking function for aircraft in order to support a A2A re-fueling. The
scenery package includes as well the program Arrcab, developed by Richard Hogan,
and the RCBCO gauge developed by Rob Barendregt. Arrcab or RCBCO are required to
support a catapult start from a carrier and the cable arrestor function for a
carrier landing.
This is not a load and fly package. Please take your time to read the included
documentation for the ARS4 gauge and the MECOPS scenery carefully. Do not skip
chapters because you may think, they are not important for you.
Do not start the installation of the scenery before you have finished the
reading of the documents.

| 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.
