| Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - The trans-Atlantic flight from New York to Venice. |
|
File Description:
This flight is based on the trans-Atlantic journey depicted in the movie, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". So of course, it is completely fictional. In 1938, the year in which the movie is set, there was no trans-Atlantic passenger service. Trans-Atlantic passenger services did not arrive until mid-1939 and the schedules were disrupted and dropped after war broke out in September of that year. So for Indiana Jones to fly from St. John's to Lajes in 1938, poetic license was used by Mr. Spielberg! Therefore, I have added to that fiction by bringing forward the development and introduction into PAA service of the Douglas DC-4 passenger aircraft. In this Flight Simulator journey, you will fly the DC-4 between La Guardia and Lisbon, where the PAA service terminated. The remainder of the trip, from Lisbon to Venice, will be undertaken by Imperial Airways, using one of their new De Havilland DH-91'Albatross' four-engined passenger aeroplanes.

| Flight Simulator Scenery Tutorial - How to decompile, edit, and recompile default scenery object BGL files |
|
File Description:
This is a simple tutorial in a dual format, one HTML for web-based reading and the other for reading within Microsoft Word. The tutorial contains a thorough, step-by-step process on editing default scenery object BGL files within Flight Simulator. It covers everything from the task of decompiling the stock BGL file using BGLXML or NewBGLAnalyze, editing it using SceneGenX scenery Generator and Notepad, and recompiling the source code XML into a BGL file again by using the BGLCOMP SDK. This tutorial was the result of a request by a fellow scenery creator, in combination to my quest for further increasing the realism of one of Flight Simulator's stock airports (Sanderson Field, Shelton, WA). There's specific instructions, and a final word on the touchy topic of editing stock BGL files contained within the tutorial as well.

| 1929 Solo to Sydney - The flight by Francis Chichester and his DH60 Gypsy Moth "Elijah" |
|
File Description:
This Flight is based on the book "Solo to Sydney", written by Francis Chichester in 1933, in which he tells the tale of his flight from
London to Sydney in his little de Havilland Gypsy Moth between December 1929 and January 1930.
It covers some 14,000 miles and more than 20 days. He spent 182 hours in the air in total, often exceeding 8 hours per day and, on one occasion, spending 14 hours out of 24 aloft.
Chichester later in life became famous, and was knighted for, his solo navigation around the world in his yacht "Gypsy Moth IV".

File Description:
This is a militia flavoured repaint of Nemeth Designs' fabulous MD500 helicopter specially targeted at members of the Emma Field Flying Club, but suitable for fun anywhere. Fly the "Cheese and Wine Militia's MD500". This is purely a fun excercise; the skin has no real aesthetic or accuracy value. Enjoy it anyway.

| Douglas DC-3 and PBY Catalina/Canso P&W R-1830 Twin Wasp Radial Engine |
|
File Description:
SkyHigh Audio Simulations is proud to present our brand new radial engine Douglas DC-3 Pratt and Whitney R-1830 sound pack for FSX! This sound could also be used for other twin engine P&W R-1830 powered aircraft such as the PBY Catalina/Canso.
FSX's sound cone technology has been extensively used to provide as much of a realistic sound experience as possible in the exterior view. Features include propwash sound effects from immediately behind the propeller, realistic radial engine start-up sounds, and a very realistic sounding fly-by! SkyHigh Audio Simulations' usual touches have been added such as using audio recordings only from Dogulas DC-3 and other P&W R1830 radial engine powered aircraft as source files to provide a fully authentic sound experience for the simmer. For more information regarding this sound and our many other sound releases please visit our website at: www.skyhighflightsim.webs.com!

| High-resolution 76-m (LOD9) Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements for the Southern Canadian Rockies |
|
File Description:
Not simply an add-on mesh, these files include many scenery enhancements for the southern Rockies of British Columbia and Alberta. Coverage extends from Cranbrook to Calgary, and Hinton to Edmonton (N48.9-53.4 W112.3-116.3). The mesh source data are 3-arcsec (~90-m) Shuttle Radar (SRTM) files, compiled at LOD9 (76-m) resolution. All lake elevations (!) have been adjusted to eliminate the problems with the default lake data and to better fit the new terrain mesh. In addition, the Transcanada Highway/Icefields Parkway corridor in Banff National Park, from Canmore to the Hwy 11 junction, has been completely re-made, with dozens of alpine lakes (including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Lake O'Hara), accurate transportation network, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, lake corrections and landclass replacements will work well in FS2002.
