| PMDG Livery AutoInstaller v1.0.2 |
|
File Description:
Version History: 1.0.2 (Supercedes v1.0.1) 1)Added FS9 Installation Validation using Registry, FS9.exe & Aircraft Dir. 2)Added Subroutine to Boeing 600/700 function to re-run the Model Update batch files as supplied by the PMDG 800/900 patch upgrade.
PMDG Livery AutoInstaller v1.0.1 (AutoIT) script. Legal; This is simply a "AutoIT" GUI wrapper script. No proprietary PMDG material included. Purchase and download all relevant software from www.precisionmanuls.com. This script just clicks the "Next" button for you during Livery installations. Function; Do you rebuild your FS9 installation several times a year and/or frequently reinstall PMDG Official Livery executables downloaded from their website? Do you dread the greater than 500 "Next" button clicks it takes to install all thier official liveries? I do (did) until today. I learned "AutoIT" scripting language today and put this wrapper utility together to completely automate the task of installing any or all of the PMDG Livery executables. I used this utility to install all liveries for all the models listed below in about 12 minutes with about 10 clicks this evening. (my mouse-finger was most greatful).

| Reduced Braking Effectiveness in Rain and Snow |
|
File Description:
If you want more realism and are tired of having the same braking effectiveness in rain and snow as on a dry runway then this is for you.
There are two gauges, "BrakingAction" and "BrakingAction_AntiSkid".
Use the gauge "BrakingAction" for aircraft which do not have an AntiSkid system; do not use it on aircraft with antiskid (e.g. airliners) - for those use "BrakingAction_AntiSkid".
The gauges will reduce braking effectiveness during rain, snow, and freezing rain. In addition, the "BrakingAction" gauge simulates blocked wheels if you stay on the brake for too long; blocked wheels will further reduce the braking effectiveness; in addition, blocked wheels will put wear on the tires on dry and rainy runways; this may lead to a blown tire.
NOTE: The gauges are made for users who either use the keyboard or an assigned button (or two for differential brakes) on the joystick for braking. The gauges will most likely not work with devices that allow a progressive braking input, i.e. that allow you to apply brake pressure anywhere between 0 and 100% (I guess there are rudder pedals that allow you to do that).

| Instructions for building a replacement USB-DB15 Dongle for MS Sidewinder Joysticks |
|
File Description: My neighbor recently gave me a Microsoft SideWinder Precison Pro Joystick. Unfortuately, they had lost the DB15 to USB dongle (photo of dongle on the left)that connected the joystick to the USB port. This zip file contains a word document (.doc) which describes how you can build an equivalent dongle for just a few dollars. A parts list, photos of the completed assembly and a wiring diagram are included. Some elementary skill with a soldering iron is required. Please note that this replacement will not convert your old joystick into a digital model. It only works with MS Part No X03-57540 and equivalent. However the instructions do list a source for an encoder which proports to do exactly that.

Thanks fo downloading and enjoy Caribbean skies.

File Description:
Included are two spreadsheets, one for Excel, one for Open Office, to use with Just Flight's "Air Hauler" to quickly arrive at the best possible combination of jobs to fly with your preferred aircraft, from your current location. Version 2.0 includes significant improvements - up to 1,300 jobs, and a report with up to 30 jobs. The most lucrative string of jobs is automatically created, based on your starting location, aircraft, fuel requirements, range, and the weight of the cargo.
Macro security in Excel or Open Office must be set to "low", to allow the running of macros. If you do not do that, this utility will not work. If you have questions feel free to contact me (my email address is in the readme file). Dan Cowan

| Boeing 747-400 Replacement Lightmaps |
|
File Description:
The paints are:
Air France (Triple pack) (same lightmap for all) / Air France (Combi) / Air India / Air Pacific (both paints) (same lightmap for all) / British Airways / Cathay Pacific / Eva Air / Eva Air (Combi) / KLM (old) / KLM (new) / KLM (old Combi) / Korean Air / Malaysia Airlines /
Philippine Airines / Qantas (GE) / Virgin Atlantic.
This archive contains only Lightmap textures for the above paints.
1st off, I'd like to apologies for my big screw up. Seems like I've messed up all the lightmaps that I uploaded to do with my own paints. All paints by Daniel DiBacco and Peter Pavlin are 100% correct and you do not need to fix those. Only AI Aardvark Boeing 747-400 paints by Boback Shahsafdari need to be fixed.

| Australian Lighthouses - Part 3 - Victoria |
|
File Description:
Around Australia's coastline there are over 350 lighthouses.
I received a suggestion a month ago asking if I would do the locations of the lighthouses down the coast of New South Wales and when I did a bit of research I thought, why not do the whole 36,735 kilometres around Australia?
Parts 1 and 2 have already been released (4th./5th. February 2006).
Here is Part 3 - the lighthouses located across the coastline of Victoria, between the borders of New South Wales in the east and South Australia to the west. I have also included the several lights that are located within Port Phillip Bay and Port Melbourne.
A Read Me file is included. No third-party items are required.

File Description:
--Repackage of "Working Wipers" for FS2004. Original package by Guy De Smet.--
Several simmers, who were having issues attempting to install the "Working Windshield Wipers" package requested I re-do the package with clearer instructions. This re-do includes the following changes:
1. New comprehensive (hopefully easier to understand) instructions;
2. Setups for the default Cessna 172 and Boeing 737-400;
3. Conversion of the "gauge" to a .cab file;
4. Sample screenshots.
A copy of the original package is also included. Please unzip this archive to a temporary folder and follow the detailed instructions. Original gauge by Guy De Smet. Re-packaged for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.
