| X2AD - RAF Aston Down - Gloucestershire, England |
|
File Description:
Former RAF Aston Down (IACO X2AD) is located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire, South West England and 6.9 miles (11.1 km) west of Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
The airfield was originally opened as RAF Minchinhampton and was first used in the First World War, serving as an aerodrome for the Australian Flying Corps with No. 2 Squadron AFC flying the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a and the Sopwith Pup and No. 3 Squadron AFC flying the Avro 504. The airfield closed shortly afterwards.
In 1938 the airfield reopened under the new name of RAF Aston Down at the request of the residents of Minchinhampton village, which lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west of the airfield, who feared not enemy attack, but a fall in the value of their houses.
During the Second World War the main unit present was No. 20 Maintenance Unit RAF (MU) which stored and prepared aircraft. The unit arrived during October 1938 and left in September 1960.
The airfield was used by the Royal Air Force from the First World War until 1967 when the Cotswold Gliding Club moved in from their previous base near Tetbury.

| Bhutan Airports and Paro Valley |

File Description:
This project adds and updates all of the airports of Bhutan. Bathpalathang (VQBT) and Gelephu (VQGP) are added, Yongphulla (VQ10) is updated and recoded as VQTY, and Paro (VQPR) is fully updated to reflect current satellite imagery. These are all fully functioning AI airports as well. Special attention was given to the entire Paro Valley, and numerous road/river vectors were updated around Gelephu. Accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. They are optimized to fit seamlessly with FTX Vector's roads/water, but they should be fully functional in all FSX configurations.
GA-encoded flight plans for the Buddha Air/Kathmandu charter are provided to enhance service to Paro. NASA SRTM Global 3 arc second terrain mesh is also included for all of Bhutan. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery, when available. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.

File Description:
This gauge has been developed for FSX Flight Simulator SP1 or SP2. It
has also been tested with Microsoft Acceleration also, but compatibility is not guaranteed by the author.
This new Advanced Radar System (ARS 4) includes significant new features,
functions and displays for FSX AI traffic. The new key features are:
1)AI traffic display for air targets and boat/ship targets.
2)Auto landing on carrier if the carrier is part of the scenery MECOPS.
3)Allows switching between air target display and boat target display.
4) Provides for air and boat display to optionally insert airport and/or basic terrain display on the screen.
5)Different screen presentations for air and boat targets.
6)Simplified installation procedure.
7)The A2A re-fuel function remains the same as in the ARS2 version.
8)The auto tracking function remains the same as well as in the ARS2 version.
All displays for air, or boat/ship traffic, can be selected in a range of 5, 10, 20, and 40 miles.
For installation and additional information look at the ARS4 documentation inside the zip file. For copyrights and credits please look at the documentation for this gauge.

| OMAA - Abu Dhabi International Airport - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Abu Dhabi International Airport is an airport in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The airport is one of the fastest growing airports in the world in terms of passengers, new airline operators and infrastructural development. The airport is now undergoing a US$6.8 billion expansion. As of January 2012, 53 airlines offered service to 85 destinations in 49 countries.
The airport is the second largest in the UAE, serving over 10 million passengers in 2010. It has three operational passenger terminals. Its terminal spaces are dominated by Etihad Airways, which is the United Arab Emirates' second largest air carrier after Emirates.
The new Terminal 3, a US$270 million interim facility, was designed to allow for the airport's passenger growth before the planned opening of the new Midfield Terminal in 2014. Used predominantly by Etihad Airways, the terminal boosted the airport's seven million passenger per year capacity to 12 million. It also added 10 new gates, two of which are Airbus A380 compatible.
Using ADEx 1.51, aeronautical maps and Google Earth this AFCAD is now on par with today's situation.

| Aerosoft F-16 Aerodynamic Performance Upgrade - VIPER 3.0 Package |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an aerodynamic performance upgrade for the payware Aerosoft F-16 (the download version, NOT the version available through Steam...you can't "upgrade" that one!). Simply put, this upgrade will make ALL 21 of your Aerosoft F-16 models AWESOME fun to fly in FSX! I went through and individually "tuned up" ALL of the aircraft models that come with the Aerosoft purchase/download (excluding the 2 AI jets), so now ALL "CAT-I" models can pull & maintain 9g, all "CAT-III" models can pull & maintain 7g. Each jet can perform quick, precise aerobatic maneuvers and still be smooth and easy to fly while mid-air refueling or just cruising at altitude.
A few more "upgraded" performance capabilities include...
Maintain 7g in "CAT-3" model jets, 9g in "CAT-1" model jets (tested at 500kts and 10,000')
Realistic Roll Rate
Max Speed w AB @ 40,000' (Clean) - Mach 1.8+
Max Speed Mil Power @ Sea Level (Clean) - Mach 0.95
Cruise Speed - Mach 0.80
...and MUCH MORE!
I've streamlined the installation/upgrade process so it will only take a few minutes of easy cut/paste/replace work to get your F-16's upgraded and ready to fly!

| ORER - Erbil International airport - Erbil, Iraq |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
ORER - Erbil International Airport, Kurdistan, Iraq. The new airport and terminal building opened on March 3, 2010 and is as such not known in FSX. The airport is built next to the old airport, previously a military field. With its short 2,800 meter runway and temporary terminal buildings, there was a great need for a new airport, not just a new terminal. The new airport has one of the world's longest runways. 4,800 meters long, 75 meters wide and equipped for ILS CAT II operations.
Using ADEx 1.51, aeronautical maps all these changes have been built into the default FSX airport now making it on par with the present situation on paper. Right, on paper! Google Earth's images are too old (2004) to offer any help regarding buildings, vegetation and surrounding areas like offices, parkings and roads. With the help of blurry pictures found on the internet this is the best rendition for now. 99% correct.
For those interested a complete technical overview of the airport including approach plates is included in this package. Please read the readme carefully for proper installation!

| Ocean City Municipal Airport (26N), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles SW of Ocean City, New Jersey on 60 acres of land, Ocean City Municipal Airport is host to quite a few GA aircraft, and has plenty of room for anyone looking to fly in for a few days. Around 60 tiedown spots are available on the tarmac. The main tarmac can host planes with wingspans up to 40 feet. If you managed to fly in anything larger than that head for the west end of the field to tie down. FSX may spawn some AI craft in that area but it is not attached to the main taxi network so no planes will leave from there - the majority of planes FSX spawns in that larger spot can't handle the runway length! Be sure to check your aircraft can handle takeoffs without freezing temps and a ton of headwind before you fly in. You can gas up by stopping near the fuel truck by the terminal or by the gas tank at the west end of the tarmac. Don't ask me what that yellow circle is on the tarmac - if anyone knows you can tell *me* :P It's in the airport photos so its there. Runway touchdown markings are enabled as in real life, but apparently FSX decides not to draw them because the runway is too thin.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview, the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 003. 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.
