| EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport V3.1 |
|
File Description:
This new version has come about as a result of over a month sitting in front of Paint Shop Pro! All the textures have been redone including the night textures (If anyone knows how to light up AI aircraft then I'd love to hear from them!).
Many new macros have been created and hence the airport now has a lot more buildings! The railway bridge has been finished and I've also created my own version of the road bridge.
I've switched tree creation to GroundMaker as this was less frame rate hugging and allowed what I consider to be a more realistic representation of the wooded areas around the airport.
The scenery is aligned to the Visual Flight / Getmapping VFR Scenery published by Just Flight and has been specifically designed to complement the add-on. You do not however need the VFR scenery to use these files!
This scenery forms part of the "UK2002 Scenery Project" co-ordinated by John Woodside - http://fsaviation.net/. Thanks also go to John and to Peter Leadbeater for the information they have supplied to me regarding the airport

| B36J Peacemaker for X-Plane 6.4-6.6 |
|
File Description:
B36 Jv1.1 Peacemaker for X-Plane 6.4-6.6 - Upgraded panel but still not custom; J version with 3800 HP engines. The B36 Peacemaker was the last propeller driven bomber put into service by the US. With 6 - 3800 Hp radial engines and a gross takeoff weight of 410,000 lbs the early versions like the A and B variant were woefully underpowered. This file is the later J version with 4 - 5200 lb static thrust jet engines added. Never called into active service the B36 provided the US long range nuclear determent until the jet B52 came into service. The B36 is a huge airplane with a large payload capacity, 10000 mile range and long endurance. See the read me file for distribution and copyright information.
� Wingspan: 230 feet
� Length: 162 feet
� Wing Area: 4770 square feet
� Maximum Take-off Weight: 410,000 pounds
� Maximum Bomb Payload: 2x 48,000 pound Grand Slam bombs
� Powerplant: 6 x 3800 hp radial engines, 4 x 5,200 pound thrust J47-GE-19 turbojets.

| Lockheed Hercules C130J (v.2) |
|
File Description:
The Lockheed C130 J Hercules is the newest version of the trusty military transport aircraft. With its six-blade propellers and more powerful engines, it can fly higher, faster and further than any previous Hercules. This is my second version of this aircraft (with more than 11 000 downloads of the first one) with an all-new FSDS model. It features animation of all control surfaces, landing gear and propellers; full lighting effects; opening front door and rear cargo ramp as well as a pilot getting into- and out of the aircraft as it takes off and a flight attendant opening and closing the front door. The panel is a photo-realistic rendition, designed from photographs downloaded from the Lockheed-Martin website. It includes a Heads Up Display ("HUD"), WORKING radar unit and Multi Function Display ("MFD") for the engine-instruments ("EICAS"). A sound pack is also included. An experienced Hercules pilot checked the flight dynamics to ensure that flying this aircraft is AS REAL AS IT GETS!

| Piaggio P-166A |
|
File Description:
The second of the coming P-166 aircraft series. I'm going to built the whole family of these graceful twins.
The Piaggio P-166A is a light small twin. An Exotic two-engined prop that sold all over the world including America, UK, and Australia. Its origin is traced Back to the Piaggio P-136, a light anphibian, wich the P-166 keeps the wings, the engines and the tailplanes. The first P-166A flew in November 1957. The aircraft is still in production in a slightly modified turboprop version, the P-166D-P1.
This model is 788 Kbs with c.a. 23000 polygons in c.a.170 assemblies. (see something in common with the previous one? YES: 99%...) Features Clickable Dynamic VC with non-planar throttle quadrant. Detailed internals. Fully compatible with FS 2002 (pro edition)
Not said about the M version!! The flight Dynamics is based on real data, provided by Piaggio Itself: control surfaces, engines, weights, etc...
Paints:
1)FIAT - I-NCAS
2)AGIP Mineraria I-MINT
3)Papuan Airlines VH-PND
4)Northrop corp. - N7651E

| Boeing F/A-18E Hornet VF-201 Hunters |
|
File Description:
These are textures only and are applied
to Daisuke Yamamoto's Boeing F/A-18E,
filename: fa18e_sh.zip; available at
http://www.flightsim.com "or" filename:
fa18esh3_138105.zip; Avsim library. This is
the CAG version of the bird. VFA-201 Hunters
fly the F/A-18A+ version of the Hornet now and
this paint scheme was originally applied to
that model Hornet. Upon transitioning to the
F/A-18 from F-14A Tomcats the Hunters dropped
the state of Texas insignia that they wore on
their Tomcats and re-adopted their earlier
chevron insignia that now adorns their
Hornets. For the first time in 50 years, an
entire Naval Reserve strike fighter squadron
was called up for active duty over Iraq. The
Hunters flew more than 1,000 sorties off of
the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT, then returned home
to Ft. Worth NAS, JRB, in Texas. I wish to
thank Daisuke Yamamoto and Hiroaki Kubota for
providing us with such a fine model of this
aircraft and their kind permission to repaint
it. These are 32-bit textures with no mip-maps
to preserve image clarity.

| FlightSim Manager v1.0.1 |
|
File Description:
FlightSim Manager is a great tool for managing addons to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002. You may easily import your existing Aircraft, Panels, Sounds and Scenery. FlightSim Manager can also to install new aircraft and scenery directly from distribution ZIP files you may have downloaded. While installing new aircraft/scenery FlightSim Manager will automatically copy the required files and repair it if necessary. You may even add or remove aircraft variants as you wish. The comprehensive Hangar management allows you to manage and configure your addons off your live FS2002 installation. You can mass add scenery, clean gauges and fly from anywhere in the world using an map view.
From version 0.9.7, you can create Texture Sets - i.e.. different Tree Sets, and you can install the texture with a single click - FSM can also integrate with Fs Sky World.
You can also capture screenshots from Flight Simulator, and launch it with random Splash Screens, Benchmark and a lot more.
New version implements more Diagnostics Tools with repository system.

This package four configurations... a Medical Transport, Utility/cargo version, both with a 2-3 window configuration, a seperate crew/pilot entry located by the pilot's window, and a double air door for ease of patient and cargo access, a 3-3 window configuration, and a 3-4 standard window configuration, The package includes 2 separate visual models which can be used to create the following variations:
1) 3-Bladed props on PT6A-20 engines with a single fuselage ventral fin.
2) 4-Bladed props on PT6A-20 engines with a single fuselage ventral fin.
Also included to match up better with the flight model is a modified version of Randy Burton's King Air Panel. The modification being the addition of cabin views with windows that are more in the order of the U65-90 side window shape.

| API Manager |
|
File Description:
API macros are old technology as far as FS scenery design is concerned. The new approach in FS2004 and beyond is quite different. It seems possible that scenery files using macros will not be supported in the next version of FS. Nevertheless there are many scenery designers who still use macros. I am one and I have a large collection of macros. I wanted a way to manage and categorize these macros. I also wanted to be sure that I could credit authors correctly when I use the results of their efforts. I wanted a way to keep information about object footprint and scale and I wanted to know ahead of time if I had missing textures for an object. Hence API Manager.
Please be aware that this is a first release and there are likely to be things wrong. There are also some areas of the program which could be more user friendly. Please note that API Manager only works with api macros
Requires dotNET framework version 2 from Microsoft. Support is available from www.scruffyduck.plus.com
