| Frozen rivers and lakes (and sea) for Alaska's winter |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This "freezes" all lakes and rivers (and some sea) for winter flying and means they can be landed on with skis or wheels; it is meant for low level flying rather than high level jet flights. This edition covers all of Alaska, except for the Aleutian Islands, as the worst area to do this for is a string of islands. Terrible. Fiddly. It is reversible with an "untick" in the FS scenery library. I have spent some time making sure that the sea and the larger inlets along the southern coast do not get frozen too as they stay ice-free in winter. Along the north shore I went for the peak of the winter with sea ice all the way to the permanent polar cap; this is not totally realistic as there is usually a partially open lead along the coast, but anything else would be ...... fiddly. This is really for use with Ultimate Terrain, though it will work without it. But as UT is what gets all the lakes and rivers there and in the right place it would be a shame not to be using UT. There is a blurry transition between southern Alaska and Canada so you may need the recent Canada post too.

| Mackenzie River close to Tulita CZFN in Northwest Territories Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I discovered, while testing another airfield near the Mackenzie River, that along the side of the Mackenzie adjacent to Tulita, and for a considerable distance, there was a cliff of water. I have no idea if my version of Ultimate Terrain has developed a fault or if this has been caused by the installation of a terrain mesh that now argues with UT for some unknown reason. Whatever, it was impossible to leave it as it was. I have included a screenshot of the cliff further upstream. To avoid the cliff of water I have flattened that area of the Mackenzie River and the adjacent river banks and both the town and the airfield to a height above sea level of 400 feet. This does not reflect the real life situation but is the lesser of two optical evils. I have included a screenshot of the flattened area. If you do not have a problem then you do not need this. If you too have a cliff of water then you might want to try this. It does not completely get rid of the problem, but it does get rid of it in the area visible when landing or taking off at Tulita.

File Description:
GMG Airline was established in 1997 and started domestic operations on 6 April 1998. International services were launched six years later on 8 September 2004, with a service from Chittagong to Kolkata.
GMG began regular flights to Bangkok, Delhi and Kathmandu on 20 October 2006. It started services to Kuala Lumpur on 24 January 2007. The airline started its operation to the Middle East with daily flights to Dubai on 1 February 2008. In July 2010, GMG initiated flights to Jeddah and Riyadh.
The airline also served Abu Dhabi and Karachi as well as domestic stations Jessore and Sylhet
A GMG Airlines Bombardier Dash 8 In February 2008 the airline added a leased Boeing 747-300 to the fleet starting wide-body operations, this proved to be a White Elephant in an era which saw Global economic problems and an unprecedented peak in oil prices, thus causing a substantial loss to the carrier, the 747 was eventually phased out after just five months of service.On 17 June 2009, the largest conglomerate of Bangladesh, BEXIMCO took a 50% stake in the airline, re-branding it and raising service standards to a higher level.

| Installation of functional yokes to 2D Panels |
|
File Description:
Movable yokes for 2D panels (primarily for use at add-on aircraft). Noted that many aircraft 2D panels are missing the functional yokes. These yokes can be easily installed to aircraft panels, and opened with the button (marked 'Yoke' in yellow - installed to the panel}.
The yoke opens in the middle of the screen but can then be dragged to any most realistic panel location preferable not obscuring the essential instruments. The flight can then be saved with the yoke in this position. To see the instruments behind, the yoke can always be closed by pressing the yellow button.
The 18 included yokes are intended for the cockpits of: B-17, B-24, B-29, B-52, B707, B737, B747-777, B757-767, Beachcraft, Cessna, Concorde, DC8-9, Douglas props, Embraer, Learjet, MD11, Piper and VC10.
Note that the actual yokes could be different, custom made for the different airlines and different aircraft types, therefore some of these might just partially resemble the authentic yokes used in these types. All included yokes can also be used for any other aircraft panels as deemed appropriate. Finally Many Thanks to all the 'free download' aircraft panel designers, great jobs!

| Guyana Airways 707-323 Adv 1992 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the 707-323 Adv. in Guyana Airways colors. The payware 707-300 by Captain Sim is needed for this repaint. Guyana Airways was formed in 1963 in Georgetown Guyana, and a network of scheduled services was developed through the 1960s and 1970s linking Georgetown with 24 domestic destinations, as well as Miami, Boa Vista (Brazil), and such Caribbean spots as Barbados and Port of Spain. Guyana Airways virtually leased all its aircraft, which is why many different aircraft types were used during the airline's operations. In 1978 its fleet consisted of a DC-6A, 2 Hawker Siddeley HS 748s, 2 DHC-4A Caribou, 2 DHC-6 Twin Otters, and 1 Cessna 310. Later on Tu-154s, L-188 Freighters, 2 707-300s, a 737-200, and a 757-200 were added to the fleet. The 707s were used for the direct service between Paramaribo and New York. In 1999 the airline ceased operations due to financial problems. Textures are HiDef 32bit dds. DXT5 dds textures are also included as well. This repaint was tested FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.

| Buckland PABL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Buckland is a village on a small river, around 45 miles east of Deering and 15 miles inland from the river mouth. Like Deering, the population of 420 live from fishing and the land. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 10-24 and 3,300 feet long with VASI at both ends. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local (mostly treeless) land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Bering Air flies into Buckland from Kotzebue and is included in the AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 505 and there will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airport (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

| Alaska South Slope 2 - Noorvik ORV in AK US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Kotzebue is in the far northwest of Alaska, and these are villages to the north and the east of Kotzebue on the South Slope of the Brooks Range of mountains. There will be further additions. Noorvik is a small village (population now around 670) on the bank of the Kobuk River, around 50 miles east of Kotzebue. The new airfield is 1 mile south of the village; there is a short runway immediately south of the town that is now closed but is not marked as such and appears to be usable; this will still be listed in FS9 when you are presented with a choice of runways but is not connected in any way to the new airfield so ignore it. The new ORV runway has 4,000 feet of lit gravel aligned 06-24. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Kotzebue and routing east to Noorvik, Kiana, Ambler, Shungnak, Kobuk, and then back again. The AI includes these flights (eventually) plus perhaps an Everts Air cargo flight and GA.

File Description:
Textures for Nemeth FSX AS 350 as Royal Australian Navy N22-017, Delivered 24/03/84. RAN Code: 27,864. Served with FFG02, HMAS Canberra Flight - dates unknown, but was still painted in blue/white scheme. Served aboard HMAS Success during and after Gulf War 1990. These aircraft were modified to take a 7.62mm machine gun in the cabin doorway. Callsign TAIPAN 64, was embarked in HMAS DARWIN during 1991 for that ship's 'DAMASK 3' deployment, shortly after the Gulf War. It was airborne at the time of the ship's engine fire and could not recover to the ship until the Flight Deck had been cleared of debris ejected through the funnel during the initial explosion in the ship's engine unit. Following recovery, the aircraft was refuelled and flew ship's engineering staff to Bahrain, returning with USN FFG Engine specialists. During the deployment 864 never missed a mission through unserviceability. An engine change was performed whilst alongside in Bahrain, and the aircraft passed the subsequent check test flight first time. Named 'Barney Gumble' in 1998. Onboard HMAS ANZAC during Operation WARDEN, East Timor 1999/2000 - however it hardly flew due to engine problems. In Service 723 Sqn RAN.
