File Description:
The Fiat G91Y was a reconnaissance and ground-attack aircraft produced by Italian company FIAT as an evolution of Fiat G91. The first flight took place in 1966. It was a complete redesign, but the major difference was that G91Y installed 2 engines, in order to increase the power and the capability to survive to damages during war operations. The single Bristol Orpheus turbojet engine of G91 was then replaced by two afterburning General Electric J85 turbojets which increased thrust by 60% over the single-engined variant.
Structural modifications to reduce airframe weight increased performance further and an additional fuel tank occupying the space of the G.91T's rear seat provided extra range. Combat manoeuvrability was improved with the addition of automatic leading edge slats.
Flight testing of three pre-production aircraft was successful, with one aircraft reaching a maximum speed of Mach 0.98.
Airframe buffeting was noted and was rectified in production aircraft by raising the position of the tailplane slightly.
An initial order of 55 aircraft for the Italian Air Force was completed by Fiat in March 1971.
The order was increased to 75 aircraft with 67 eventually being delivered.
The first pre-series 'Yankee' (the nickname of the new aircraft) flew in July 1968.
AMI (Italian Air Force) placed orders for two batches, 35 fighters followed by another 20, later cut to ten.
The last one was delivered around mid 1976, so the total was two prototypes, 20 pre-series and 45 series aircraft.
No export success followed.
These aircraft served with 101° Gruppo/8° Stormo (Cervia-S.Giorgio) from 1970, and later, from 1974, they served with
the 13° Gruppo/32° Stormo (Brindisi) until the early '90s, as the only ones equipped with the 'Yankee', using them as attack/recce machines, both over ground and sea, until the AMX replaced them.

| Airbus A318 FD Special Version V3 - Complete Pack |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the new version of my Airbus A318 with the Panel in V3 opened on the A321. I remind you that this aircraft is based on the Project Airbis A318, with an ehanced panel based on the work of stefan Liebe.
This latest development can see the more realistic Airbus available as freeware. With a new version of the panel, the aircraft has a 100% cold & dark Status at the start of a flight, a real fuel system management with all valves, piumps and crossfeed work, the complete Bleed circuit with X-bleed, a real engines manual startup procedure like the real aircraft. I have also ehanced the navigation display with TCAS function in ARC and NAV mode; There is also the engines failure procedure to work (fire, oil leaks....) and many improved function that I cannot describe here. The aircraft comes with user manual in English and in French, and it is essantial to read it before you fly.
All the functions of the V2 have been kept and improved, like the vertical navigation gauge, the terrain radar map on the navigation display, the autolanding function, the SFCC. Aircraft comes with 6 liveries (Air France and 5 Frontier liveries realized by Project Airbus Team). This version is only in CFm engines, but with real engine data (CFM56-5B9). Now, the Fly By wire works in 2 modes: "Normal Law" and "Direct Law". I put 300 hours into the development of this panel and I hope that you will like it. In the coming weeks, I will adapt this panel to the A319 V2 and A320 V2, that are the these are the last aircrafts that I must update with this new panel. Please, note that this panel is the v3.05 version, witch fixes the bugs of the first version that came with the A321 (there is an update panel for the A321). Francois Dore

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for The Boeing KC-97 by Manfred Janh and team. It shows 123-03, a Boeing KC-97L of No.12 ALA of the Spanish Air Force, which operated three of these aircraft, calling them the TK.1. It was originally 53-0189 with the USAF, entering service with the Spanish Air Force in 1972. You can still see the old US markings in some light, this is not a mistake in this repaint. After an emergency landing in 1986, she was struck of charge. The aircraft is preserved and can be seen at the Museo del Aire Cuatro Vientos in Madrid. The other two Spanish KC-97's are now part of a nightclub near Barcelona. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom for Manfred Jahn's C-97, based on the paintkit by Manfred and team.

File Description:
Repaint of the PMDG Boeing 777-200LR in United States Air Force VIP Fleet livery. PMDG Boeing 777-200LR\F Base Package required. Distributed as a .ptp file for easy installation via PMDG Operations Center. Aircraft is themed "Air Force Two" which is the call sign when the Vice President is aboard. Intended to complement the Boeing 757-based C32 fleet, this 777-200LR with 3 auxiliary tanks can take the top US leaders anywhere in the world, in fact, further than Air Force One itself! The Aircraft could likely be used by Vice President, Secretary of State, or other top-ranking officials. Please note, the missing doors, and windows, were carefully chosen based on a Boeing floor plan of a possible military VIP 200LR configuration, I had planned to release this floor plan but have decided not to.

| "Flying Bulls" North American T-28B Trojan (OE-ESA) - 2016 Livery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This North American T-28B (cn 200-250) was built in 1954 and served with the US Navy in Washington D.C. as a training plane until 1965. In 1987 Red Bull acquired the T-28B and brought it to Europe. After reassembly by Jet Aviation in Basle, Switzerland, the T-28B was entered in the Austrian aircraft register in the spring of 1988. Since 2001 it has been located at the Flying Bulls Hangar-7 at Salzburg Airport. The T-28B 'OE-ESA' was the first aicraft of the nowadays well-known Flying Bulls. In the Summer of 2016, the Red Bull T-28B was completely restored and got a new black and olive livery. This is a repaint for Ant's Airplanes' wonderful T-28B/C Trojan. Tested in FSX and P3Dv4. Installation instructions are included.

| P-51D Mustang "44-73420" N7722C |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the WWII Fighters P-51D. This aircraft, 44-73420, entered the USAAF in 1945 and served with the 190th FS, Boise, Idaho, and with several ANG units. In 1958 it was sold surplus and was registered N7722C. After passing through several owners the aircraft was painted as "Miss Torque" in 1984 and was eventually shipped to New Zealand in 1993 where it operated as ZK-PLI until 2005 when it was sold back to the US. The new owner, Jack Croul, had the aircraft fully restored and in the summer of 2006 it was flying again. The aircraft is now finished in a "polished with no paint" scheme, matching the way the aircraft looked when it originally rolled out of the factory. This repaint is full of details and includes nearly all factory stencils and the "filled, sanded, and painted wing."

| Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress #43-97976 "A Bit o' Lace" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the accu-sim version of the A2A B-17G Flying Fortress. It represents #42-97976 "A Bit o' Lace", which was assigned to the 709th BS /447th BG. The nose art consisted of a cartoon by Milton Caniff. The co-pilot was Lt. John Bauman, a fraternity brother of Milton Caniff. He sent Caniff a detailed idea of the proposed artwork and the sketch was returned with Caniff's annotation: "A Bit-O-Lace for Lt. John H. Bauman, and the rest of the gang, with my best wishes - Milton Caniff NY, Oct. 1944". Nicholas Fingelly, an artist attached to the 709th BS, carried out the work and completed the painting in about six hours and gave Milton Caniff full credit for his his character. Her first crew flew 35 missions over Europe with no injuries, although returning with a good many holes, at times. The closest call was when a piece of shrapnel came up through Navigator's table and "Ike" Eisenhart's arms, but missed him. A surprise souvenir for Ike, which he still has. She flew more missions with different crews, until the april 4, 1945 flight. From the navigator, John Kirkwood: "Right over Kiel, and seconds before the bomb release, I heard the co-pilot say that "This airplane feels funny." Seconds later the tail gunner, who had regained his power of speech, blurted out something to the effect that part of "The tail was gone." A flak shell had gone right through the left horizontal tail, leaving only a partial surface, and completely removing the left elevator.
We dropped out of the formation, and tried to drop the bombs, but the electrical system failed. We flew north a minute or so, the plane now in the hands of the pilot. The pilot did not want to drop over Denmark, so we turned out over sea, and dropped via screwdriver. Actually, we were over Schleswig-Holstein, according to my position, but it was close, and Tom did not want to chance killing danes.
We flew on, at a reduced speed, far out to sea on a west-south-west course with occasional ETA's to the pilot. Several fighters joined us, and finally we got back to the base, and the runway was cleared for us. A decision had to be made by the pilot: To jump or ride her in.. Tom decided that he could land the plane, so we all congregated to the radio room, and that was that.
I might add that none of us had any desire to jump. Most of the photos of 976 were taken after repairs, hence the dark colored rudder and left elevator. As you know, the color prior to the damage was silver. 976 flew one or two missions after that, but I never saw her again, other than in a color photo of the moth-balled fleet in Arizona."
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by A2A.

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LL-E) "Shoo shoo shoo baby" restored |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-35-BO 42-32076, the former "Shoo shoo shoo baby". In 1968, the ancestry of F-BGSH, an old B-17 languishing in derelict state on Creil Airfield in France, was discovered by the Australian aviation historian Steve Birdsall, who notified the USAF museum that this was a combat veteran that had flown operational missions, in contrast to most other surviving B-17's. Following negotiations, the B-17 was donated to the US by the French Government. Interestingly, its Swedish heritage attracted interest from Sweden as well, but nothing came of this. The aircraft was disassembled at Creil and trucked to Frankfurt and flown to the US in 1972, where it arrived, packed in 27 crates. No plans or funds for restoration were present at the time, but in 1977, Mike Leiston, a technician at Dover AFB contacted the museum about the possibility of restoring one of the museum's aircraft by volunteers at Dover AFB. With project approved, 42-32076 was transported to Dover, with the aim of restoring it to a stock wartime B-17G. Upon arrival, Paul McDuffee, who had flown her for 13 missions, was present, and the reunion was clearly an emotional one as he commented "I've just got to go over and kiss her", which he did.
The restoration continued to 1988,and after some 60.000 ma hours, "Shoo shoo shoo baby"took to the skies again for the first time on 11 september. On 14 october 1988, she flew for the last time, to the USAF museum near Dayton, Ohio, where she can still be seen. The main difference with her wartime looks is the fact that she currently sports an olive drab camouflage paint, which was necessary due to all the metal work needed to bring her back to a stock B-17G condition. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

| Iris F-16D NSAWC 'TOPGUN 04' & 'Navy 07' Repaint Textures |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These repaint textures are for the IRIS F-16D and depict US Navy NSAWC Aggressors "TOPGUN 04" and "NAVY 07" in the blue splinter camo. Each jets' paint scheme is slightly different from the other and these repaints reflect that. For instance, the camo pattern is slightly different between 04 and 07 in the left-rear section, and the markings/decals on 04 are all grey, whereas 07 has the multi-colored low-viz "splinter" markings. I customized the wingtip missile rails to look more realistic when empty in the "Clean" configuration, and repainted the engine nozzle to look like the Pratt & Whitney engines on the real jets. I also modified the weapons texture file so that the AIM-9's appear all-blue like they do on the real jets, and the GBU's and LGB's will be "dummy/inert blue" as well. Plus, since the NSAWC pilots wear either Desert Tan or OD Green flight suits, I included textures for both.
