| FSX FA-18 2024 Aerodynamic Performance Upgrade |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a performance mod/upgrade for the FSX Acceleration/Steam FA-18 Hornet. This will also work with both the "Sludge Hornet" and with the "Combat" add-ons. The inspiration for this "Upgrade" came from the YouTube vids of the AWESOME Swiss and Finnish F-18C Hornet Demos at RIAT RAF Fairford! After seeing those, I went to work modifying the "aircraft.cfg" and "FA-18.air" files and got the "old" FSX Hornet to fly like a NEW jet! Think of it like fixing up an old sports car, putting in a new engine, suspension, and when you're done it drives better than when it was new! I've made the upgrade instructions easy and it should only take just a couple minutes to complete. THEN your FSX FA-18 Hornet will look and fly like the ones in those videos!! And it won't just be great at airshow flying, it will also fly smooth and stable around the carrier, and will be LOTS of fun "free flying" through the mountains at 500ft and 500kts! I've also included new/upgraded afterburner textures, and a Shockwave exterior light upgrade. And as a BONUS, I've included BOTH the Swiss J-5011 and Finland HN-411 RIAT Airshow repaint textures.

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LL-E) "Shoo shoo shoo baby" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors B-17G-35-BO 42-32076, which rolled off Boeing's production line in Seattle in march 1944. This was around the transition from camouflaged to bare metal aircraft, which led to the odd situation that the datablock was stencilled onto a OD panel, while the rest of the aircraft was left bare metal. This was because the datablock was sprayed on right at the beginning of production. The aircraft was assigned to the 401st BS of the 91st BG, and was collected at the depot in Burtonwood by Paul McDuffee, who was so impressed with its smooth handling that he asked to be assigned to it. The aircraft was named by its crew chief, Hank Cordes, and was named after a popular song by the Andrews Sisters. Originally, the name was 'Shoo shoo baby', applied in gothic letters, which was later replaced by a Vargas girl and an additional 'shoo', painted by Cpl. Tony Starcer. McDuffee flew 13 missions with 076, before completing his tour of duty. On completion of his last flight, he buzzed the airfield and flew so low that fencing wire became entangled in the tail wheel. On the plane's 23rd mission, on 29 may 1944, Lt. Robert Guenther was flying 076 on a raid to Poznan when he suffered engine failure on one engine, and a while later, flak knocked out a second engine. 'Shoo shoo shoo baby' started to fall behind, and when a third engine started to falter, Lt Guenther decided to turn to neutral Sweden, with the crew jettisoning all loose equipment. A group of FW190's closed in, but did not open fire, peeling away. By the time 076 reached Bulltofta airfield near Malmö, it had only one engine left, but it did manage to perform a safe landing. The crew were interned, and the aircraft was impounded. The crew returned to the UK in October 1944, and 'Shoo shoo shoo baby' would later tour the world...

| P-47D 324th FG/ 316th FS #86 "Black Sheep" |
|
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Shockwave World War II Fighters P-47D Thunderbolt, representing the aircraft flown by Lt Jerry Wurmser of the 316thnd FS/324th FG, in France and Germany, between 6 march 1945 and the end of the war. He is still alive, and told me: "The name "Black Sheep" was already painted on the plane when it was assigned to me. It previously had been assigned to someone in Britain, and eventually ended up in France after either being shot down or having crashed and then repaired. It had a brand new engine in it when I received it on March 6, 1945. At this time I had already completed 39 missions, and finally was assigned my own airplane. My first flight in it was to break in the new engine, or "slow time" it. This required flying it about for a period of time at very low throttle settings, to break in the new engine. The plane had already seen a lot of action, and the "form 1" contained a long list of malfunctions that was written up by the previous flyers and dates of repairs. Several times I had to sign the "exceptional release" form before going up, acknowledging that I knew and understood what the previous pilot stated what was wrong with it. This plane was a razorback, with the tail assembly out of line, so that I had to apply rudder correction constantly. It got such bad gas mileage that I carried one less bomb and a gas tank instead. I hated that plane. I finally did get a new bubble canopy plane, but by this time the War was over!"
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on two repaint kits, one by John Terrell and one by Shockwave. Included is a 1024 x 1024 bmp repaint, which should work in both FS9 and FSX.

| Canadian Airlines Airbus A380 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint for Project Airbus' Airbus A380 in a fictional Canadian Airlines livery. Includes base model, high-quality textures, and updated VC.
*Mask Options*
This livery also includes cockpit window "Mask Options". Please see the included readme in the .zip file for instructions for applying these options.
Canadian Airlines never flew the A380, as by the time the company was absorbed by Air Canada in 1999, the aircraft did not exist. The largest aircraft flown by Canadian Airlines was the Boeing 747-427. However, in our new universe, Canadian Airlines has taken delivery of one single Airbus A380, available to fly any route of your choice. It flies under the registration C-CSPN and the tail number 383.
*Livery Info*
Upon its founding in 1987, Canadian Airlines revealed its new livery using the colours light grey, dark grey, navy blue, and red. The paint scheme was an adaptation of the recently introduced livery from its predecessor Canadian Pacific Airlines. The lower half of the aircraft's body was navy blue, topped with light grey and red stripes, while the tail was blue, with approximately one-third taken up by the carrier's new logo. The new Canadian Airlines logo was a combination of Canadian Pacific's five grey stripes, representing the five continents served by the carrier. Over these stripes was a thick, bright red chevron. The chevron was a simplification of the Pacific Western Airlines logo. The chevron was placed over the stripes, which then represented "Wings over 5 continents". It was also an ingenious and subtle way to represent the takeover of CP by PWA. The same logo, in a square form, became a clever alternative to a true bilingual name on the fuselage replacing the French "e", and the third "a" in English (Canadian/Canadien).

| Curtiss P-40N Warhawk (NL540TP) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Flight Replicas P-40N Warhawk. This repaint depicts the restored P-40N 42-105306, registered NL540TP. The aircraft originally served in the Pacific with the 7th FS, 49th FG, and was one of a few P-40's flown by Lt. Ray Melikian. Later, while being flown by Lt. Marion Hawke, the aircraft was substantially damaged when it collided with a P-47 while attempting to land at the Iron Range Repair Depot in Queensland, Australia. The aircraft remained abandoned at the old airfield until being recovered in 1973. The airframe passed through several notable hands over the years before finally being purchased by Chris Prevost in 2000, who had the aircraft shipped to the Sonoma Valley airport where the restoration to airworthy began. Doing much of the work himself, over almost a decade, Prevost flew the aircraft for the first time in January 2009. Fitted with dual controls, the aircraft's original pilot, Ray Melikian, was able to fly the aircraft again. Included with this repaint is a set of updated files for my "Little Jeanne" repaint.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX by Real Air. It shows Spitfire LF IXc OO-ARE as it looked around 1960 when flying as a target tug with Cogea in Belgium. Originally NH238, it went to the Dutch Air Force in 1946, where it flew as H-60 and H-103. It went to the Belgian Air Force in 1952, becoming SM-36. It was sold to Cogea of Ostend in 1956, and was used as a target tug until 1961 with the registration OO-ARE. It was sold to the UK, becoming G-MKIX. It was dameaged from a ground fuel explosion in Exter in 1961, but restored again. It went to the US in 1969, where it became N238V, returning to the UK again in 1979. It was last flown as NH238/D-A, but it was removed from the registry in 2002. It is rumored to be in storage at Greenham Common. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by RealAir.

| Sudwestflug Douglas DC-6B |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-6B in Sudwestflug colors. The freeware Cal Classic DC-6B by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. The German charter operator Südwestflug was founded in 1964 as a sort of feeder company for the company Contracta GmbH & Co KG. This company was active in the holiday home industry which built and sold their houses in Spain. To promote the homes to potential clients, they purchased the first of ultimately three DC-6B airliners in September 1965. Deficiencies found in the maintenance of the machines led to the start of a ban, and a negative image of the airline. The German newspapers wrote at that time of the "Wild Westflug", which was quite damaging. In order to avert an impending bankruptcy, they decided to make a far-reaching change in their image and changed their name to Germanair on 28 October 1968. They operated 3 DC-6Bs under their tenure. This repaint depicts D-ABAH. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FS2004, FSX & P3D v1-3.

| De Havilland DH-98 Mosquito (DZ546) 618 Sqn G |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the DeHavilland DH98 Mosquito by Dave Garwood, in the colors of DZ546, a B Mk.IV that flew with No.618 Squadron in the summer of 1945. It was built in early 1943 and allocated to 618 Squadron. It was converted for 'Highball' missions in 1944. Highball was the codename of special spherical bouncing bombs to be used for antishipping attacks. The conversion included Merlin 24 motors, a four bladed prop, an arrester hook, new windscreen and armour plating. With the collapse of the German threat, 618 was transferred to Australia in october 1944, but no suitable role was found for the squadron, which was disbanded at RAAF Narromine in july 1945.
The Mosquitos were later sold and DZ546 was bought by Ken & Rob Bowman of Dunedoo, who dismantled it with the help of a chainsaw. Parts of the aircraft are currently being used in the restoration of a Mosquito in New Zealand. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Dave Garwood.
