| U.S. Armed Forces Boeing CH-47D Chinook Version 2.0 |
|
File Description:
This is a major upgrade to my recently released CH-47D Chinook U.S. Armed Forces file for FSX. This file has new replacement repaint textures and also incudes the original CH-47D Chinook model by Mark Adams & Tom Woods. You do not need to download the old version in order to use this file - no other files are necessary. This upgrade contains vast improvements including newly compressed texture files for significantly improved performance and space savings with minimal impact to image quality. All repaints now include actual unit markings and improved olive drab color. Pilots also now have appropriate unit markings. The two Army Chinooks carry unit markings for the 1st Cavalry, 2nd Battalion, 227th Air Regiment - this unit is currently active and provides troop and equipment transport and medivac for the 1st Cavalry - Air Mobile. The Marine Chinooks now carry markings for the 3rd Marine Air Wing. Special thanks to Delizisis Thanasis and Delizisis Panagiots for use of their textures as a painting template. The Original Model belongs to Mark Adams & Tom Woods, the reworked Flight Dynamics to Marwan Latif, the panel and the textures to Delizisis Thanasis and Delizisis Panagiots.

| Vliet Airport (6NJ1), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles SE of Washington, New Jersey, Vliet Airport is a private turf field. Trees border the runway on three sides, and a dirt mound and semi-truck are also obstacles to watch out for at the end of Runway 06 if you land long. At 1300' feet, it is a very short runway so make sure you check the capabilities of your aircraft before attempting to either land or take off here! Don't forget that in order to clear trees, usable runway space is closer to only 1000'. This airport has no lighting so daytime VFR operations only are recommended. Take note that there is also no wind sock, so be sure you are aware of the weather conditions prior to arriving/departing. There is also no hard-surfaced runway and you will be landing on terrain so it's suggested you have your mesh resolution slider as high as possible.

| Wide Sky Airpark Airport (JY31), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 03 miles NW of Bridgeton, New Jersey on 23 acres of land, Wide Sky Airpark Airport is a private turf field 2550' in length. There is no fuel available, but there is tiedown space by the main hangar in the middle of the field to the west. You can start in the parking spot there if you have a plane with 40' or less wingspan (collision with static aircraft is disabled so you can put a bigger plane there if you wish with no trouble). The windsock is not lit at night and is located atop the south end of then main hangar's roof. The field is hedged in to the east with bushes but they do not cause aircraft collisions. The runway is lit for night VFR operations. There is no hard surfaced runway so set your terrain mesh settings as high as possible to enjoy rolling around on bare bumpy terrain.

| Windward Farms Airport (4NJ0), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles NW of Rosemont, New Jersey, Windward Farms Airport is a private turf strip. Like most small private turf strips this one can prove to be slightly challenging when it comes to taking off and landing - especially in a crosswind. The runway threads between two separate stands of trees to either side, and 1/4 of the Runway 11 left side is hedged by small trees and bushes. While the published dimensions for this strip are 3500x150 feet, in reality the usable runway space is really 3000x100 feet due to vegetation. This airport as rendered in FSX does not have an actual runway surface, so when you land you will be landing on actual terrain. There isn't a noticeable slope but it can be bumpy so use caution! Edge lighting is provided for the runway, although night landings/takeoffs are not recommended. There are no services provided by this airfield. After landing why not taxi over to the hangar and feed the sheep grazing in the pasture?

| P-51D Mustang "Frenesi" (N357FG) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware Warbirdsim P-51D "Mustang Tales" product. This repaint depicts the latest Mustang restoration to emerge from Midwest Aero Restorations, completely stock, which just had its first test flight from Danville, Illinois on January 30th. The aircraft is F-6K 44-12852 (restored as a P-51D), owned/operated by Dan Friedkin/Comanche Fighters, based in Texas. Sold surplus immediately following WWII, registered as NX66111, the aircraft was entered into the 1946 Cleveland Air Races as racer #80 "Full House", but its engine blew and was forced to crash-land. Later, the aircraft was sold to Jack Hardwick in the early 50's and crudely rebuilt, with a jump seat and rudimentary dual controls installed in the back of the cockpit, and would soon be sold onto the Dominican Air Force in 1954, becoming FAD 1900 (#2). The aircraft served with the Dominican AF until it was sold and imported back into the US by Brian O'Farrell in 1984. Made serviceable, the aircraft flew again on the US register as N21023 by 1990, and was sold to Jim Beasley Sr. and later owned/operated by Jim Beasley Jr., of Coatesville, PA (sharing hangar space with their P-51D "Bald Eagle"). During this time the aircraft was painted as "Frenesi", the personal mount of WWII 357th Fighter Group ace Gen. Tommy Hayes (the name inspired from a 1940 Artie Shaw tune). By the early 2000's, showing the effects of poor-quality work done on repairing/restoring the aircraft in the past, a complete rebuild of the airframe began. By 2009, the project was sold to Dan Friedkin, now registered as N357FG, and the restoration was continued at Midwest Aero Restorations, known for their award-winning authentic Mustang rebuilds. The aircraft has now emerged in early 2017, resplendent and flying again in the markings of "Frenesi".

File Description:
DISCLAIMER: The FSX Version is a straight port from the P3D version and might have issues or missing features compared to the P3Dv5 version. The screenshots are taken in P3D.
Ambrolauri
Ambrolauri (Georgian: áƒáƒ›áƒ‘რáƒáƒšáƒáƒ£áƒ ი) is a city in Georgia, located in the western part of the country, on both banks of the Rioni river, at the elevation of 550 m above sea level. It is a self-governing city. At the same time, the city serves as the seat of the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti regional administration and the Ambrolauri Municipality. According to the 2014 census, the city had a population of 2,047. Its area is 1.6 km². Ambrolauri is first recorded in the 17th century as a place, where one of the palaces of the kings of Imereti was located. It acquired the city status in 1966 and became a self-governing city with its own municipal government in 2014.
The Airport
The airport is nestled into the Caucasus mountains right at the bank of the river Rioni. It has a single runway of 1100 m length and caters small propeller aeroplanes. The apron has space for two planes at a time and caters up to 50 passengers at one time.
In the Simulator
The virtual airport is very close to its real-world counterpart. All the buildings at and near the airport are modelled and the terminal even has an interior that can be seen from outside. The look and feel from a trip to the Racha region is definitely there. In real life, only small planes fly to the airport but that shouldn't stop you to bring planes from the size of the Dash 8.

| FS2004/FSX/P3D Overseas National - ONA DC-6A 1959 |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the Douglas DC-6A (CB17 model) in Overseas National Airways - ONA 1959 colors. The freeware CalClassic DC-6A CB-17 model by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. ONA was originally formed in 1950 by George Tompkins to undertake overseas contracts on behalf of the USAF. Douglas DC-4s were initially used, with DC-6s joining them later. However, due to underbidding on contracts, ONA declared itself bankrupt on October 29 1963. After this, the airline was extensively re-organized and began operations once again in October 1965, with a fleet of 7 DC-7s. Soon after, in June and July 1966 the airline's first jetliners joined the fleet in the form of DC-8-50Fs. After a 1966 ruling by the CAB, ONA was granted permission to undertake inclusive tour charters, affinity group charters, and single entity charters to transatlantic and Caribbean markets. This was a godsend to the airline and it started to become quite profitable. Over the next decade, the fleet expanded to include: L-188s, DC-8-61/63CFs, DC-8-20/30s, DC-9-30s, and the granddaddy of them all; the DC-10-30CF. During the winter of 1975/76 tragedy struck. Two ONA DC-10s were lost in accidents in the space of two months (November 1975 & January 1976). This was a major blow to the airline and its image. This, coupled with financial difficulties, led the the filing of its second bankruptcy on September 7, 1978. That was the final nail in the coffin. This repaint is on DC-6A N660NA, which joined the airline in 1958, ans was sold to AAXICO in 1961. Textures are 32bit bmp. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE and should work on FSX, P3D v1-3, & FS2004.

| US Navy Collection, with Flyable UAV |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Unfortunately the Navy has cancelled or scaled down most fleet week celebrations around the nation. With this collection, you can stage your own!
Among the latest and hottest additions to the US Navy arsenal is the LCS. Two versions have been developed, the trimaran corvette by General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin's version, which promise to give a double black eye to Al Qaida, Somali pirates, or anyone else that opposes Freedom and Independence. Also are included in this package are the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer USS Fitzgerald, the Ticonderoga class cruiser Lake Champlain and two Oliver-Perry class frigates, FFG-58 Samuel B Roberts and FFG-60 Rodney M Davis. The centerpiece of the fleet is LHD-2 USS Essex and thanks to Arno's fantastic ModelConverterX, Essex is able to feature a highly detailed deck packed with 7 F-35b JSF, 6 MV-22 Osprey, 5 CH-53 and 2 Seahawks. Finally, SSN775 Texas, as part of the collection is available for patrol. All ships have landable decks, night lights and animation effects. Texas as a submarine is more of a boat, I believe, but it has navigation lights and wake effects.
I have also included another hot Navy addition, the RQ-8 fire Scout. There are two versions, a static RQ-8b lashed to the deck of Independence and an RQ-8c with the Flir Brite Star electro/optical turret which I have made flyable, largely for absence of deck space to place it as static.
Make no mistake that the Essex model is very resource intensive, with all it's polygons and what have you. The night lighting is stunning (imo) but seems to have an even heavier effect, you've been warned..

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Airbus A350, British Airways, for FSX, Demoversion, The A350 XWB (Xtra Wide-Body) is Airbus response to market demand for a medium capacity long range wide-body family. Designed with airlines priorities in mind, the A350 XWB confronts the challenges of high fuel prices, rising passenger expectations and increasing environmental concerns.
Available from 2013, it has an entirely new, uncompromised, 21st Century design with a wider and taller fuselage for extra space and passenger comfort. A complete family of airliners sized to generate cost reductions and provide unprecedented operating flexibility for airlines; three basic passenger versions are being offered. With a range of up to 8,300nm/15,380km they include the A350-800 for 270 passengers in a spacious three-class configuration; the A350-900 for 314 passengers and the A350-1000 seating 350 passengers. An ultra long-range version, the A350 - 900R, will fly even further while a freighter version, the A350 - 900F, will complement the passenger models.
As befits the most advanced aircraft family in its segment, the A350 XWB is able to provide greater economy on long-range markets and is equally attractive as a route opener or as part of a multi-type Airbus fleet offering optimized network solutions. Thanks to the application of the latest innovations, the A350 XWB is able to offer 20 per cent lower cash operating costs per seat than competing aircraft in this size category and fuel efficiency improvements of up to 25 per cent per seat.
The fly-by-wire A350 XWB Family is a significant addition to the Airbus product range. A member of the Airbus FBW Family of aircraft, it benefits from the same operational commonality as the other members of the Family. This handling and flight deck commonality allows airlines to benefit from the unique Airbus Family concept of cross crew qualification and mixed fleet flying, and will ensure smooth introduction into service.
