| Southern Cross Airport (C01), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 03 miles SW of Williamstown, New Jersey on 18 acres of land, Southern Cross is a public turf airstrip with an ample 2400' runway. The runway is hard surfaced in order to allow for AI traffic to use this airport, however the end user must enable flights to arrive/depart from this airfield within their AI traffic program in order for AI to appear here. Tie down space is available north of Runway 09 and fuel is available at the tank next to the hangar. This airport is not lit at night so daytime VFR operations only are recommended. In addition to trees at the ends of both runways, power lines are strung up across there too.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview/aerial photos - the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 004. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.

| 1F2 - Plateau Sky Ranch - Edinburg, NY |
|
File Description:
Here is an improved version of the stock Plateau Sky Ranch. This is a privately owned field, open to the public. It consists of two grass runways and is located just north of the Great Sacandaga Lake.
In FSX, there were no buildings at all, so I added the hangar, and the hangars and planes that are located across a public road. I moved both runways because, with UTX, the road crossed both runways. Now the runways clearthe road. In FSX there were taxiways with hold-short lines, taxiway signs, etc, which didn't belong so they
were removed. I added a dirt driveway, parking area, fuel station, light pole, flag, and a couple of local houses and barn.
There is a lot of nice scenery in any direction from Plateau Sky Ranch. If you take off from runway 6 and follow the waterway you will come to the earthen Conklingville dam and the upper Hudson River.
I've added an extra file for UTX users called Boats.bgl. It will add several marinas and boats in correct locations on the Great Sacandaga Lake.

| NZWV - Waihi Beach Airfield, New Zealand |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Waihi Beach (ICAO: NZWV) is a small airstrip north of Tauranga and near the small beach settlement of the same name, in the Bay of Plenty of New Zealand. It is a grass strip with offset thresholds giving usable landing lengths of 640m and 517m for RWY 13 and 31 respectively, a width of 55m and a group rating of 5. No night lighting or fuel is available. A very basic airstrip, there is only one recently built hanger and the airstrip is slowly being encroached on by
new housing developments. The airstrip itself is usually very sodden due to its low elevation but is a nice stop over for sightseeing from Tauranga and up the Coromandel peninsula.
The FSX model includes custom textures and models placed on a high resolution aerial image and a 15m mesh. It makes extensive use of items from the free VLC object libraries which are required to be installed (Available from www.vectorlandclass.co.nz Downloads menu). This scenery and
the VLC libraries have been funded by sales of VectorLandClass and although you do not need VLC to use it, your purchase helps further development.

| Aerosoft F-16 Performance & Handling Upgrade - VIPER 2.0 Package |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a performance upgrade package for the payware Aerosoft F-16 (NOT the version available through Steam!). Aerosoft made an awesome-looking airplane with realistic cockpit details, cool g-vapor effects, but the way it flew was...well, not so great...until NOW. With this "VIPER 2.0" upgrade, your Aerosoft F-16 will fly like the REAL THING! 9g turns, 8-Point Rolls, Double Immelmans, Cuban-8's, etc, etc, etc. Cue up your favorite F-16 demo on YouTube and follow along! Or, head out to your favorite mountain region and enjoy zooming through the canyons at 500 feet and 500kts! (the Alps north of Aviano AB are awesome fun!). After this upgrade your Aerosoft F-16 will be one fun-to-fly flight sim jet!
**For those of you who downloaded and installed my first "VIPER Upgrade" about two years ago, the improvements in this version are...
Adjusted Rudder/Nose Wheel steering sensitivity for a softer, more realistic "feel" while taxiing & flying.
Ailerons have a "smoother/softer touch" for those tiny adjustments made on final approach
Adjusted drag factors on spoilers, flaps and gear to get optimal final approach AOA, airspeed and better "throttle authority".

File Description:
This major release commemorates the opening of the new Northwest Runway. Using ADE 1.50, this scenery package represents the layout of the airport as of October 2011 and includes major updates to the land class data to provide the most realistic environment around the airport.
Other major features include the new 07L/25R runway setup for landings only plus associated navaids, taxiway signs, high-speed taxiways and also reconfigures the other runways as per current operations.
In addition, adds several new features, such as new Gmax models for the DB Schenker and CCT hangars at South Cargo City, a new animated rotating beacon to the North control tower, brand new G gate apron area (9 new parking spots with night lighting) at the site of Terminal 3 as well as a host of other airport buildings and parking lots added on the south side. Other updates include construction work on taxiway Sierra as per real airport as well as latest runway/taxiway textures.
A number of other miscellaneous updates are also featured so see the readme file for more details. Stay tuned for v6 which will add further updates to this freeware FSX Frankfurt scenery.

| ZSGS - Zhuhai Janwan Airport - Zhuhai, China |
|
File Description:
The Zhuhai Sanzao airport (ZGSD/ZUH, China), close to Macao, was built on request of someone who found it included in the FMC of PMDGs 737NGX, but missed in FSX. I used ADE and the Google based old version 2 of Plan-G (thanks to both authors) and some charts being available in the internet. However, it is equipped with standard buildings which are roughly adapted to the real dimensions well. Lighting, windsocks, taxisigns and moving jetways. Of course I added both ILS as well. There is a big exhibition apron on the airport which is modeled but blocked for AI traffic. You will see the lines of the taxiways nevertheless. The latest temporary chart (Nov 2012) shows a third apron which is not realised and I'm not planning to do so (obviously the whole site is still under construction).
As being built on a FSX island (which is now a peninsula) and default coast lines not fitting to the real position of the airport (Rwy05 was hanging in the water) I decided to compromise in a way that I corrected the area in the vicinity of the airport but respected the remaining part as it was in the default scenery. The attached pictures should give an impression even if I'm not using the pure default scenery. Therefore this little patch should be compatible to advanced mesh sceneries.

| Robert J. Miller Air Park Airport (KMJX), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 05 miles SW of Toms River, New Jersey on 232 acres of land, R.J. Miller Air Park is a public asphalt strip 5949' in length. The airport buildings and immediate surrounding area have been included, magnetic variation adjusted, PAPI properly placed, taxiway lines drawn accurately, beacon properly placed, lit winsock and wind tee (both functional). The parking available has been matched to the current configuration of the airport, which is still undergoing renovation. Not included is the under-construction building just to the south of the terminal and the additional large hangar just north of the already-existing one. Taxiway lighting could not be seen in aerial photos - complete liberty on behalf of the author was taken when placing taxiway lights. Helipad is lit at night although the real world pad is not. Tiedown parking is available on the main tarmac in three sections: Southwest, Northeast, and regular Parking which is in the middle. RAMP_GA_SMALL parking spots are for aircraft with wingspans no greater than 40 feet. RAMP_GA_MEDIUM parking spots are for aircraft with wingspans no greater than 60 feet. RAMP_GA parking spots are occupied/blocked by static objects and should not be chosen as a start location (although collision detection with all such objects has been disabled). There are 4 open hangars - three to the Southwest are for RAMP_GA_SMALL aircraft while the Northeast one is for RAMP_GA_MEDIUM aircraft or smaller. All hangar parking spots are labeled DOCK_GA. A hangar on the main tarmac and a hangar on the tarmac to the south and west removed from the airport have attendants that can be called on NAV2 - this appears to be FS9 only. Both hangars have undecorated interiors and no parking spots to start from. There is only one helipad to start on but helicopters can also start in any RAMP_GA_MEDIUM location with no problem. Fuel for aircraft/helicopters is available by stopping next to the fuel pumps (not the fuel tank) at the north end of the main tarmac. The helipad will supply fuel when landed on.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview/aerial photos - the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 002. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.

| Somerset Airport (KSMQ), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 03 miles N of Somerville, New Jersey on 210 acres of land, Somerset is a public airport with one asphalt and two grass runways, the longest of which is 2733' in length. The turf runways have no hard surfaces and you will be landing on terrain so have your mesh set as high as possible - both runways are still selectable in the ATC window for landing/takeoff announcements. AI aircraft will not use them. The helipad is a start location in front of the main terminal if a parking location is not wanted to begin helicopter flights. Parking is divvied up into three categories - GA_SMALL spots will accommodate aircraft with wingspans no greater than 40 feet. GA_MEDIUM spots will accommodate aircraft with wingspans no greater than 60 feet. GA_LARGE spots are named to identify locations suitable for starting in a glider if you wish to do so. They can also accommodate aircraft with wingspans no greater than 60 feet. In addition to tie downs, there are 13 hangars open for parking in various locations - they can be identified by GA_DOCK. Only the N Parking hangar can accommodate aircraft with wingspans no greater than 60 feet - all other hangers are suitable only for aircraft with wingspans no greater than 40 feet. Several of the hangars have attendants - look beside the doors for the NAV2 frequency to set for opening them. AI aircraft will only spawn on the north tarmac/hangars (largely to prevent AI traffic crossing the runway on taxi). All objects and static aircraft in the immediate vicinity of parking and taxiways have collision disabled. If your aircraft has a wingspan greater than 40 feet it is NOT recommended that you taxi down the middle taxiway leading to the main tarmac from N Parking as you will not clear the hangars - go either via the NW taxiway past the grass tie downs (NW Parking) or around East to the next taxi way on the other side of the east hangars (E Parking) which has more wing clearance. Fuel is available on both tarmacs north and south of the runway by stopping on the asphalt in front of the tanks/pump.

FSX McDonnell-Douglas MD-11F repaint textures for the real world
Centurion Cargo N701GC, named "Petete", but with the freeware version's Pratt
and Whitney engines. For the freeware SMS Overland MD-11 with P&W 4460 engines,
which you must have previously installed in FSX. I installed the freeware
(SMS-MD-11_Dutch_Package.zip) with VC which works well with this repaint.
Also includes engine exhaust smoke coordinates which you can add to
your "aircraft.cfg" if you wish. Screenshots enclosed. Easy installation.
