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...

File Description:
Version 2.0 covers landclass across the entire greater Houston area, with a large increase in LOD. This version significantly tightens up and improves the landclass from version 1.0, and adds a vast amount of scenery objects that brings the Bay Area-KEFD area into the modern era. This improves and adds a highly accurate runway 17 approach with accurate placement of buildings and scenery around the year 2011-modern day. In addition, includes several new files including a new airport/helipad via Houston Clear lake regional airport, T41 La Porte Municipal and surrounding shipping ports, Kemah Boardwalk, and a giant improvement to Johnson Space Center Houston. Rundway 35 and Runway 22 landclass is significantly increased, and more accurate as well. You can fly an accurate VFR approach or set up an ILS for any one of KEFD's runways with ease with this improvement.List of Version 2.0 additions and changes: - I added a ton of scenery objects and tightened up the landclass at Johnson Space Center Houston- NASA Control Center--- Added Talon Park with T38s (via static objects)--- Added Gemeni V rocket and 747 for the shuttle transporter--- And a whole bunch of vegetation, new buildings, and tour buses.- Added Kemah boardwalk and several boat docks- Removed a TON of highrise textures and replaced with medium and large city suburb landclass.- Added Clear Lake regional Hospital with helipad and surrounding scenery by Walter Reed Park- Added El Jardin or "Bayport Container port" with several scenery objects and significantly tightened up landclass.-- Looks great when setting up ILS approach for RWY 22- Tightened up Bay Area BLVD landclass, "adding" University of Houston Clear Lake"-- UHCL was semi already present, just made it more pronounced.- Made Red Bluff road landclass super recognizable!-- Red Bluff road is used to set up VFR approach and or field break for RWY 22 and RWY 17 R.----- Its common to see private jets and the USAF doing a break along Red Bluff road.- Added First Baptist Church, and water tower to Pasadena Convention center- Made Fairmont Parkway pronounced with landclass- Added Houston Port Authority at Morgan's Point--- Another Landmark for the RWY 22 ILS approach, NASA religiously uses this to line up the 10 mile ILS.- Tightened up landclass at Village Grove East and along Fairmont Parkway- Added a TON of scenery objects and landclass corrections for approach of RWY 17 L and 17 R.---- Added Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart Super center, Guitar center etc.---- added South Main Baptist Church--- Bondy Jr High, Turner Elementary, and Pasadena Memorial High School--- Added Saint Luke's Hospital--- Added Hampton Inn Suites and HCA rehab hospital--- Added a ton to the container facility behind best buy and storage facility--- Added smaller churches on RWY 17 approach--- Added a ton of scenery at the base of RWY 17 R, i.e., concrete plant, containers, trucks-- Added gas stations on the corner of beltway 8 and genoa red bluff-- Significantly changed and tightened up landclass at the base of RWY 22 and RWY 17 L and 17 R-- Made several roads and Beltway pronounced------ This decision looks AWESOME at night, really adds demarcation to the roads.**All of this makes the RWY 17 approach super recognizable** RWY 22 approach landclass is much more accurate.- Significantly changed and tightened up landclass near southbelt ellington and interstate 45.- Added Grace Church-- I wanted to do San Jacinto College south, but seemed over kill at that point.- SIGNIFICANTLY tightened up landclass for RWY 35 approach and near baybrook mall.-- Along I45- Added TDECU stadium at the University of Houston Main Campus---- So you can practice flybys for Cougar games!- Added the Battleship at San Jacinto Monument- I also "borrowed" T41 La Porte Municipal's tower camera to make a SWEET view of KEFD.- I included landclass for Sealy Texas this time, as well as my significant enhancements of Austin, Texas greater area as well (optional, but recommended!)---------------------------------------------------------------------------Version 1.0 originally added:- Added the Johnson Space Center Houston, which is now greatly enhanced and blended.- San Jacinto Community College-Central- Pasadena Convention Center- Pasadena Water Treatment Facility- NASA Bouncy Lab- Pasadena Shopping center, now greatly enhanced and blended.- Baybrook Mall and other shopping spots.- Significant Landclass improvements across the entire greater Houston Area File also includes landclass and scenery improvements for the greater Austin, Texas Area (optional), KIAH, KDWH, and Sealy, Texas. Each of these projects combined covers roughly 15,000 square miles of landclass improvement.

| Mesh-South America MeSA_F04 |

File Description:
FSX Mesh South America Project:
This terrain mesh file is a part of a whole project covering all the Continent
of South America and some islands, divided in tiles identified in a map by its
column (letters) and rows (numbers).
Those files were multi-LOD compiled from 90m SRTM2 source data, reprocessed
with 3DEM to remove voids and spikes, providing a 76.4m (LOD9) horizontal
resolution topography intended for use only in FSX updated with SP1.
Although not well documented, to improve performance, the updated FSX loads DEM
files in threads and only the closer terrain (about 5-10 NM from the point of view)
is rendered in high detail, while at far distances FSX shows up its default low
resolution mesh, when there is not a third part terrain mesh compiled in all
others intermediate level of details (multi-LOD).

| Germany Marine, PANAVIA TORNADO |
|
File Description:
The Panavia Tornado is a family of twin-engine combat aircraft, which was jointly developed by the West Germany, United Kingdom and Italy. There are three primary versions of the Tornado; the Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) fighter-bomber, the suppression of enemy air defences Tornado ECR (Electronic Combat/Reconnaissance) and the Tornado F.3 (only United Kingdom) a air fefence variant. It is one of the world's most sophisticated and capable interdiction and attack aircraft, with a long range, large payload and high survivability.
Developed and built by Panavia, a tri-national consortium consisting of MBB of West Germany, British Aerospace, and Alenia Aeronautica of Italy. The Tornado first flew on August 14, 1974, and saw action with the RAF and AMI (Italian Air Force) in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm). International co-operation continued after its entry into service within the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment, a tri-nation training and evaluation unit operating from RAF Cottesmore, England. Including all variants, 992 aircraft were built for the three partner nations and Saudi Arabia (first export customer). Demoversion with banners.

| PAKT Ketchikan International, Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Googlyafcad A&F Data file for Ketchikan International based on Google Earth satellite
data - a small but relatively busy airport located in one of the wettest parts of
Alaska, USA. Ketchikan is Alaska's fifth largest city, with its economy based on
salmon fishing.
For some curious reason the facilities provided in Flight Simulator 2004 omit a crucial
taxiway at the west end of the airport, causing all traffic to taxi from the opposite
end. These files redress this issue, and also provide realistic levels of parking for
commercial and general aviation traffic, allowing you and your "AI" traffic to land,
taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner. The layout has been cunningly designed
to fit both with the Flight Simulator default scenery and version 2 of Alan Wright's
enhanced scenery (paktv2.zip on AVSIM) and is compatible with both in every respect.
Apart from conventional and water-based general aviation aircraft Ketchikan International
is regularly served by commercial flights of Alaska Airlines and by smaller operators
such as Alaska Central Express, Everts Air Alaska and LAB Flying Service. [File re-uploaded at request of AVSIM]
