File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-9-32 in Alisarda colors. The freeware Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations' (George Arana) DC-9-30 native FSX conversion with VC, of Erick Cantu's DC-9-30, is needed for this repaint (Link provided). The textures are 32bit DDS. It was tested on FSX-SE, but should work on FSX & P3Dv3.
In 1977 Alisarda leased two DC-9 series 32s with 105 seats from Airfinco SA in Switzerland, which maintained their Swiss registration. The first aircraft delivered was HB-IKB on 13/4/1977, followed by HB-IKC on 13/10/1977. With the extra aircraft at their disposal, Alisarda started a scheduled service between Cagliari (in Sardinia) and Milan in 1978, and flights were operated from these two airports to Geneva, Zurich, Paris, and Düsseldorf. The two DC-9s, HB-IKB and HB-IKC, were eventually bought from Airfinco SA and re-registered as I-SARW and I-SARZ respectively. In turn, they were eventually replaced by two newly delivered MD-82s with 172 seats, in 1984.

| Just Flight DC-10-30F TAB cargo CP-2555 |
|
File Description:
TAB cargo (Transportes Aereos Bolivianos) is a cargo airline that currenty has an MD-10-30F that usually make international routes from the airports of SLLP, SLCB, SLVR to KMIA and SPJC mainly, and a Hercules C-130 that covers National routes mainly to airports with low equipment and preparation in Bolivia.
The DC-10-30F CP-2555 (the one in the photo) was retired not long ago due to its useful age, it flew approximately 45-50 years from his first operator, which if I'm not wrong was Mexicana de Aviacion.
It should be noted that this DC-10-30F and C-130 made a special operation helping to transport wild lions from caged circuses and victims of animal abuse for a long time in Bolivia (there were 25 lions), and took them to the United States for their respective release. This operation came out as a documentary called "Ark of the Lions (Arca de leones)" documentary that was even recognized and awarded, even came out on documentary channels known as National Geographic.
Without a doubt this plane had a lot of history, enjoy it.

File Description:
Qantas is requesting proposals (Dec 2018) for design of an aircraft model or variation that is capable of non-stop flights over 10,000 nm for YSSY to EGLL and/or YPPH to KDFW and return service routes. This model is the best choice for Boeing based on real world data. The Boeing 787-8XLR "Dreamcruiser" will have a maximum range of 13,600 nm at FL450E (Mach .83) which will give her more than the desired capabilities, and will be the very efficient. This model (B788XLR) is based on the current 787-8 using weight modifications to increase the range without adding additional fuel tanks, and designed for luxury/comfort with only 161 paid passengers on board. Everything in this model is realistic to the best of my abilities. If Boeing creates this model, it will likely be very similar to this. The name is my own invention, as are all of the weight characteristics. Based on all of my extensive testing, there is no other aircraft capable of these requirements, to date. The 787-800 is certainly the right choice for Qantas if Boeing decides they will modify the original model to fit these requirements. In reality, there is no such aircraft as a 787-8XLR Dreamcruiser. Not yet, anyway. My data shows the aircraft is capable of long-range non-stop flights over 13,000 nm east or west at Mach .82 and above FL435. However, this can only be done by lowering the empty weight and using the full fuel capabilities designed within the original model. This simple modification cuts the total souls on board down to 176, with 161 paid passengers, 11 flight attendants, and 4 pilots in two shifts. Full fuel can now be used in all long-range flights which is actually not common for most 787-800s in service today (Fuel Managed). Ramp and MTOW remain the same, but because she flies higher than normal, and has less weight, she can cruise much further than any other 787. In reality, this is what the 787 was originally designed to do.

File Description:
air algerie leased an a340-300 from hifly
The Airbus A340 is a long-range, wide-body passenger airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. In the mid-1970s, Airbus conceived several derivatives of the A300, its first airliner, and developed the A340 quadjet in parallel with the A330 twinjet. In June 1987, Airbus launched both designs with their first orders and the A340-300 took its maiden flight on 25 October 1991. It was certified along with the A340-200 on 22 December 1992 and both versions entered service in March 1993 with launch customers Lufthansa and Air France. The larger A340-500/600 were launched on 8 December 1997; the A340-600 flew for the first time on 23 April 2001 and entered service on 1 August 2002.
Keeping the eight-abreast economy cross-section of the A300, the early A340-200/300 has a similar airframe to the A330. Differences include four 151 kN (34,000 lbf) CFM56s instead of two high-thrust turbofans to bypass ETOPS restrictions on trans-oceanic routes, and a three-leg main landing gear instead of two for a heavier 276 t (608,000 lb) MTOW. Both airliners have fly-by-wire controls, which was first introduced on the A320, as well as a similar glass cockpit. The later A340-500/600 have a larger wing and are powered by 275 kN (62,000 lbf) Rolls-Royce Trent 500 for a heavier 380 t (840,000 lb) MTOW.
The shortest A340-200 measured 59.4 m (195 ft), and could cover 12,400 km / 6,700 nmi with 210–250 seats in 3-class. The most common A340-300 reached 63.7 m (209 ft) to accommodate 250–290 passengers and had a 13,500 km / 7,300 nmi range. The A340-500 was 67.9 m (223 ft) long to seat 270–310 over 16,670 km / 9,000 nmi, the longest-range airliner at the time. The longest A340-600 was stretched to 75.4 m (247 ft), then the longest airliner, to accommodate 320–370 passengers over 14,450 km / 7,800 nmi.
As improving engine reliability allowed ETOPS operations for almost all routes, more economical twinjets have replaced quadjets on many routes. On 10 November 2011, Airbus announced that the production reached its end, after 380 orders had been placed and 377 delivered from Toulouse, France. By the end of 2021, the global A340 fleet had completed more than 2.5 million flights over 20 million block hours and carried over 600 million passengers with no fatalities. The A350 is its successor; the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the Boeing 777 were its main competitors. Lufthansa is the largest operator and the largest customer with 34 A340 aircraft in its fleet.
