FSX A321 Workaround for Shockwave 3d – Redux lights

File Description:
FSX A321 landing or taxi lights only in shockwave Redux. Workaround for Shockwave 3d – Redux lights in the default A320. (an easter egg!) When you install the Shockwave 3d lights (both the plain version and the Redux version) you will end up with a plane that can not land with it’s lights on without having it’s gear down. Luckily, there is a taxi light switch on the overhead panel that works. Therefore by removing the “lights out when gear up command” by the shockwave gauge, lights won’t go out when gear is up any more. Now you’ll have to switch the gear lights (not the landing lights!) off by clicking the taxi lights switch on the overhead, and the taxi (gear) lights actually go out, while the landing lights stay on (and vice versa, and you also can have both on or off at the same time)

Creating VIP Parking in FSX - an Illustrated Guide.

File Description:
Creating VIP Parking in FSX - an Illustrated Guide. After landing your favorite FSX aircraft, are you frustrated by ATC directing you to a gate which is nowhere near a logical spot? This guide shows how to create a reserved parking gate at any airport and have ATC direct you properly to that gate. This concept will work for a specific aircraft of your choice. The technique is based upon investigations and information developed by Jim Vile and Reggie Fields. Please unzip to a temporary folder and read the directions carefully. Compiled in Doc and PDF formats for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

Alternate GlobalEnvTest

File Description:
These are alternative textures for the default GlobalEnvTest.dds and GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome.dds. These are made using real pictures and will hopefully add a bit more realism to your flights. These textures are what you see reflecting off aircraft, glass, and chrome. I've also included a folder called Original Textures, just in case you don't backup your originals. I plan on doing different versions in the future, if anyone knows how to right a program that will allow to switch between these textures easily, as I plan on making different ones for different weather and terrain, please contact me.

POP "Plans-on-Paper" Nr. 1

File Description:
Plans on paper is for the real "pure" navigating pilot, no addons, no moving maps and no gps ofcourse ;-) The file contains one single Excell file with an IFR navigation/log form and one or more maps. Just print the plan and map(s), complete it with the "actual" wheather and aircraft details and off you go. You need Excell or another application that read Excell files to be able to read the file and it does some automatic calculation. In this first plan you make a short hop from the UK to Guernsey. Not very difficult but in bad weather and by night you realy have to rely on your instruments.
