| Fairchild C-82A Packet (Project Phoenix) |
|
File Description:
First and foremost, this aircraft package is dedicated to the memory of the late Paul Mantz, a veteran stunt pilot who gave his life in the making of the 1965, 20th Century Fox movie, “Flight of the Phoenix” starring James Stewart and a strong cast of other well known actors.
This package contains not only the C-82 Packet, but, as a special feature, “The Phoenix” as well. For those of you who have not seen this classic, you are missing a real jewel. It can still be obtained in VHS or DVD at www.amazon.com I highly recommend it.
The C-82 comes in three paint schemes, U.S.A.F., Bush Flying Unlimited, and of course, Arabco Oil. The Phoenix is painted as it was in the movie. Both aircraft have excellent panels built by K. Mitchell and the C-82 possesses a very nice virtual cockpit on par with that found in the C-119; previously released. These are DXT-3 textures with no mip-maps to preserve image clarity. I chose this format in the attempt to maintain a minimal upload/download package size. I will be following up with individual texture replacement packages in 32-bit for those who wish them.
I hope you enjoy this flightsim model as much as I did putting this package together. I could not have done so without the excellent help and work of Daisuke Yamamoto, Herb Morse, K. Mitchell, Mike Hambly, and Brent Hricziscse.
Enjoy! Heather

| US Airways OC Airbus A320-214 (N124US) with Lighting Effects and Updated FDE |
|
File Description:
I am proud to present this highly detailed repaint of US Airways A320-214, registration N124US, in their old livery. US Airways was founded in my home state of Pennsylvania by the DuPont family in 1939 as a mail courier service, and became a passenger carrier in 1949. US Airways has changed its name 4 times until taking the current name. This airframe was delivered to US Airways from Airbus in November of 2000 and is the last CFM equipped 214 model purchased by US Airways. Subsequent to this, US Airways has been purchasing the IAE equipped 231 and 232 models. US Airways operates 66 A320's, using them to provide domestic service throughout the US and international service to the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico. I paid attention to detail and realism as much as possible. I added some dirt and grime to the airframe in parts where it showed in photos of this aircraft. I also distressed the Vstab lines as this part of these aircraft from US Airways always look the worst. I think these details have added a realistic touch without being overdone. This full installation package includes the Project Airbus A320 CFM V2 model and air files, a modified FDE (with permission from Peter Binamira of Project Airbus), A320 lighting enhancements and 32-bit textures. Uses default 737-400 panel and sounds. Please see Install.txt for installation details.

File Description:
MRLB - Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport / Liberia, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
This airport update was made with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design Editor) and made for FSX as a replacement for the stock (default) airport. I found that most stock airports in FSX lack a decent amount of character and realism and I've tried to fix that a little bit. The stock airport file for the Liberia airport was sub par to say the least. There were absolutely no parking spots for commercial aircraft and no terminal buildings.
I've done major reworking to this airport and added the brand new terminal, which opened several months ago, I hope you enjoy. Below is a list of changes/additions. All these enhancements are as close to the real airport as I can get with stock library objects. I've used satellite images, terminal photos and maps throughout the whole process so building locations are as accurate as possible. Happy landings in Costa Rica!
Features:
*Greatly expanded parking apron
*Old terminal building added with GA parking area
*Brand new terminal building added with its 4 jetways and 3 additional ramp parking spots
*Parking lots with static vehicles
*Small current construction area
*Road that connects the airport to the main highway w/ static vehicles
*Hilton Garden Inn hotel south of runway 25
*Static vehicles and GA aircraft on the ramp
*Fire station
*Birds in the vicinity of the airport

| Replacement 'Moon Light Water' Textures |
|
File Description:
Replacement "moon light water" textures for FS2004. The default FS9 night water texture is the same for all moon positions and it is clear that MS did not complete their intention to finish this section as they include “high moon”, “low moon”, and “new moon” textures for the FS9 code to work with but all the textures are exactly the same. As a result of not finishing this section MS had to make a compromise and opted for a hint of color and brightness to all the night time water environment textures. In other words upto now we have not really seen a new moon or a full moon with FS9. I’ve changed all that and maybe using these textures will give us a hint of what to expect in FS2006 or FS10. Textures included are; new moon light water textures and a new "new moon" texture. Now when you fly by moonlight you can actually see the moon kissed water and even see some wave action. The new darker "new moon" water texture allows for a dramacic difference It actually feels like you are there! Please NOTE: I've read quite a bit recently on the forums and noticed some people want no wave action. Personally, I like the wave action as it gives an impression of movement. Of course it could be better and hopefully will be in FS10 or FS2006 but that's upto MS, and it is not out yet. Meanwhile please be advised it is not possible to see environment textures and to turn the wave action off! By Peter Wilding

| North Vietnamese Government Ilyushin IL-18D Salon |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Ilyushin Il-18 is a four turboprop engined passenger aircraft for medium-long range. The first Kuznetsov NK4 powered flight was on 4 Jul 1957 from Moscow-Khodynka airport, the first Ivchenko AI-20 powered flight on 17 Sep 1958. This plane was produced in series for 12 years and achieved great popularity due to the favourable load factor. The main operator was Aeroflot, but the IL-18 proved a popular plane with airlines behind the former "Iron Curtain". In view of possible peace negotiations during the war in Vietnam, the North Vietnamese leadership was in need of a long-haul VIP transport aircraft. The Soviet Union delivered an IL-18D Salon in 1968 registered 195 to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as an "80th Birthday present" for President Ho Chi Minh. A bit early perhaps since he was born on 19 May 1890; he died at the age of 79. For a while the aircraft displayed on both sides of the nose the call sign BH-195; BH stood for Bac Ho (= Uncle Ho) and 195 stood for his Birthday. The VIP IL-18D was re-registered VN-B195 in 1973. In August 1976 she was transferred to Hang Khong Viet Nam though still wearing the original pre-1973 "Aeroflot style" cheatline. The last landing of this IL-18D Salon was on 15 Dec 1989 at Hanoi after which she was written from use. The registration was cancelled on 31 Dec 1989. The aircraft has been scrapped since. These are textures only. You will need the FS2004 Aeroproyecto Ilyushin IL-18D (aeroproyecto_il18d.zip; available at Flightsim.com) by Edgar Guinart Lopez. Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.

| AP_MultiFuel_Gauges for FIP |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This set of 3 gauges is for use in the Saitek FIP and is an extension to my FIP gauge. That set of 3 gauges was designed to complement the Saitek AP/Multi panel and primarily showed the selected AP Altitude and Vert Spd whilst the Saitek AP/multi panel was displaying HDG. The second main part of those gauges were the Fuel Level displays, each gauge displaying a different combination of fuel tanks to suit the aircraft being flown and thus offered functionality for all types of aircraft.
This set of 3 gauges is designed for the same purpose but now encompasses a working AP that allows you to select HDG, ALT and VS values and activate the HDG and ALT mode (and AP master switch) to enable auto-pilot flight (for those who have a FIP but not an AP/multi panel).
For those who have an AP/multi panel, it gives a backup AP in your build/rig (although it all works off the same FS telemetry, I have found that when the AP/multi-panel freezes, especially the 'Alt' button, then this FIP gauge can de-activate it. The combinations displayed are those that suit my choice of aircraft, however it is easy to re-configure gauge Elements (fuel tank names) and artwork (fuel gauge titles) to suit the combination you prefer.
These gauges also retain the gear, flaps and light indicators, auto rudder on/off button plus rudder and aileron trim capability that were in the previous gauges. An additional feature is the battery switch will now turn off the AP display and fuel levels.
The artwork in these gauges has also been upgraded a bit and a template artwork is included to assist in customising.

| Zambia Airways DHC-2 Beaver c1966 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of a DHC-2 Beaver in Zambia Airways colors. The freeware DHC-2 Beaver (wheels) by John L. Woodward is needed for this repaint. It is an FS2004 plane, but I flew it in FSX-SE using the default Beaver panel. The plane can be downloaded here on Avsim, file name: beaver_wheels_2005.zip. Zambia Airways was formed as a subsidiary of Central African Airways (CAA) in April 1964. When CAA collapsed in 1967, Zambia Airways became a fully Zambian owned carrier. In 1968, the fleet consisted of DHC2 Beavers, DC-3s, and two newly delivered BAC-111s from the defunct CAA. They flew on regional routes to Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Mauritius. Alitalia was also hired to provide support of the initiation of new international services. A Douglas DC-8-43 leased from Alitalia was used for the long-haul Lusaka to London flights, which were inaugurated in November 1968, via Nairobi and Rome. In 1970 Zambia Airways took delivery of 3 HS-748s, and in 1974 they received their first Boeing liner; the 707-343C. One year later the two BAC-111s were sold to Dan-Air. July 1976 saw the delivery of the carrier's first 737-200. Zambia Airways received their first wide-body DC-10-30 in July 1984. Zambia Airways did well financially over the years, but by the end of the 1980s and early 1990s, things were a bit more complicated. With financial difficulties facing Zambia Airways, it was forced into liquidation in December 1994. Zambia Airways operated a total of 4 DHC-2 Beavers on local services. This aircraft, 9J-RFZ, was with the airline from 1964 to 1967. This repaint should work on FSX & FS2004. Textures are 32bit BMP.

| DDA Classic Airlines PH-PBA 2019 Douglas C-47 (DC-3) 75 YEARS! |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description: For Manfred Jahn's C-47 with Jan Visser's VVC, version 3.14 repaint of DDA
(Dutch Dakota Association) Classic Airlines. The only flying DC-3/C-47 in the
Netherlands at the moment. Hopefully joined by her sister (PH-DDZ) in the near
future. The new 2018 livery of the DDA Dakota is going back to it's roots, as it royal
colours in which it flew in the '50 and '60. Now updated with the "75 years"
logo. The aircraft is 75 years old this year. Besides the new logo, the following was updated:
- The Red colour was made a bit brighter __
- Adjustments on several locations (Reallife paint was not 100% the drawings ;-) __
- Several (small) details added on the outside, incl new prop textures __
- Several gauge bitmaps modified (most noticable the Airspeed indicator) __
- Some bitmaps of the VC modified __ For more info on the real DDA visit there site: https://www.dutchdakota.nl/en/home/ Besides the outside, the inside and the pilot's got a different look. Also
added some more details, especially at the tires and gear struts.
The VC textures are repainted to get the cockpit as much in line with the real one. Big thanks to Manfred Jahn and his team for creating this beautiful model and
Jan Visser and his team for all the work done to improve this model even further.
Ted "TuFun" Wolfgang for the improved engine textures. For this repaint the
excellent paintkit by Gordon "Gman5250" Madison was used. Works both in FSX
and Prepar3D. Special thanks to Paul van den Berg from DDA Classic Airlines
for providing the original paint drawings and beta testing the livery.
---> Works both in FSX and Prepar3D

| Dreamfleet 737-400 Panel/Air and Ariane Gmax Visual Model Merge |
|
File Description:
Dreamfleet/Flight1 Panel and air file merged With Gmax Ariane 737-400 Aeroflot visual model in FS2002. NOTE: users may have both Dreamfleet and Ariane products to run my merge beacuse I don't send any *.bmp, *.mdl or *.air but only a rewritten aircraft.cfg and the instrctions! This merge of the excellent Dreamfleet/Flight1 panel and the Ariane Gmax Aeroflot 737-400 is a combination of adjustments made by me, Mirko Masiero, on previus work of Jason Barlow and Lou Betti. Do not bother Dreamfleet/Flight1 or Ariane with any problems due to this merge. They will not support it in any way. I may support it a bit as I find time, but you're basically on your own. I'm just contributing this to the community. If and when Dreamfleet/Flight1 release a Gmax visual model, I will cease to use this. The flight model should be exactly the same as the Dreamfleet/Flight1 737-400. This merge uses the Dreamfleet/Flight1 air file and most of the aircraft.cfg too. The station loads in the weighting section come right out of an aircraft.cfg edited by the Load Manager, so you could copy in your own station loads if you desire. Known problems: For some reason regard Flight One 737 air file and Ariane model interactions,the ailerons do not work VISUALLY (only!) even though they work on Ariane 737-400. I do not believe there is anything I can do about this. The virtual cockpit, I Think due to a particolar Ariane model design, is not usable, but this is a minor issue... Enjoy!
