F-15 S/MTD

File Description:
This is my second release for the FS community. The F-15 S/MTD is a STOL variant of the all-weather tactical fighter F-15 Eagle. While S/MTD stands for Short take off and landing /Maneuver Technology Demonstrator, the actual plane has F-18's elevators as canard wings and a two-dimensional thrust vectoring, which gives the aircraft an exceptionnal maneuvrability. Developed as a technology demonstrator, the F-15 S/MTD carried out research for studying the effects of vectored thrust and enhanced maneuverability. The NASA has modified an F-15 Eagle by adding canard wings and by replacing the original engines nozzles by two Pratt & Whitney P/YBBN 20 Degree two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles. The F-15 S/MTD can also perform the famous "Pugachev's Cobra" maneuver. The same aircraft would later be used for the F-15 ACTIVE (with three-dimensional vectored thrust) and for the F-15 IFCS (with three-dimensional vectored thrust and with improved avionic). Features all the basic animations (retractable landing gear, steering wheel, working suspension, working surfaces plus thrust vectoring nozzles and moving engines inlets) and afterburner. Sorry, no VC. Model made in Gmax by Thomas Lebel.

Grumman "Turbo" Goose for FSX

File Description:
FSX version that modifies default or OzX Redux Grumman G21A Goose into a G21G turbine-powered Goose. It is a "revised" model built with GMax and FSDS based on the default FSX Grumman Goose model file and adds a completely new aircraft to your simobjects folder. That said, you must have either the default flyable FSX Grumman G21 Goose (FSX Deluxe or higher) or the OzX Grumman Goose G21a Redux HP model installed for this modification to work. I do not know if it will work in the FSX-SE version, but I believe it will. Nor do I know if it will work in any version of P3D. All I can suggest is try. This download “accesses” your existing Goose texture folders to turn that Goose into a Turbine Goose. It does not modify your existing Piston Goose install, so you will have the Piston Goose as flyable options. It only uses the default files to generate the visual display of the texture in the Turbo Goose. I did this to avoid any perceived or potential copyright violations. They will not work on any other version of the Grumman G21A Goose and will not make the AI Goose that comes with FSX Standard a flyable aircraft. The Turbine Goose has 2 680hp P&W PT6A-27 turboprop engines to replace the Wasp R-985 radials and seats 9 passengers and the pilot. The payload and aircraft weight is almost double that of the piston-powered Goose and has an 800 to 1,000 nm range, burning JetA instead of 100LL. The constant speed 3-blade propellers have reverse pitch and give the Turbo Goose a 2,000 fpm climb and 200+ knot cruise airspeed. This is my first attempt at aircraft modeling with GMax, so it is not a "payware" quality model, but I have flown it over 2,000 miles in FSX and enjoyed every minute of it. Uses a modified FDE and airfile by permission from Pam Brooker, default FSX Kingair 350 turbine gauges, and either the default FSX Kingair 350 sound file or the incredibly great sounding TPE331 sound file by Alex Jorda.
