| XL.COM Boeing 757 |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of Project Opensky's Boeing 757-200 G-VKNA in the current xl.com livery.
Although the aircraft is a complete package in itself, it is recommended that you download and use POSKY's virtual panel and their 757 sound package (available from Project Opensky's site) in order to get the very best out of this excellent model. Main textures are 32 bit with Alpha but excluding mips for better quality, whilst others are DXT3 for faster loading and better frame rates.
Model and paint kit by Project OpenSky, repaint by John Newman.

| Virgin Atlantic Airbus A380-800 |
|
File Description:
Airbus' new A380-800 in Virgin Atlantic's new colours (G-VXXL) as she will likely look when delivered to the airline. Great care has been taken in order to provide an accurate paint along with realistic shadow, shine and reflective effects. For the fantastic Overland SMS (FSPAP) model. These are textures only; the payware models can be found at www.overland.co.jp. The textures are in high quality (32 bit) format but performance is nevertheless strong when using this frame-efficient model. Will work for both FSX and FS9. Enjoy!

| BOAC Boeing 747-136 |
|
File Description:
Textures only BOAC repaint of 'G-AWNC' - for the CLS 747 200/300 payware package. You will need the CLS 747 for these textures to work, and ive arranged them in the folders for use with the CLS livery manager, that comes with the product. Ive tested the installation and it seems to work fine! This repaint represents one of BOAC's fleet of 747's in the early 70's before the merger with BEA. I used the excellent CLS repaint kit, and photos found online for reference.

| Three Sukhoi Su26 repaints |
|
File Description:
Three repaints for the price of one! Here are three repaints for the EAW Sukhoi Su26 for FSX. G-SIID "Road Angel" is the ride of British aerobatic pilot Will Curtis. EC-HPD "Eurostar" is the ride of Spanish aerobatic pilot Castor Fantoba and N074TX is a fictional repaint based on my "Texan" series. The unzip also includes new bumpmap textures - EAW will be issuing an update very shortly to allow bumps. However, the textures are flyable as is, so you don't need to wait for the patch to enjoy this fun plane. Enjoy!

| Auster J1 Autocrat |
|
File Description:
A repaint for Dave Molyneaux's delightful Auster J1 Autocrat for FS2004 available from Classic British Files.
This repaint is of the Auster J1 Autocrat G-AGTO in the early colour scheme of Silver with Red markings with the large registration letters on both the top and bottom wing surfaces. A reworked Prop texture and a slight 'sheen' has been applied to give the aircraft that 'used' look.
A classic aircraft that graced the post war skies at many flying clubs all over Britain. Many examples are still airworthy today all over the World.

File Description:
FS2004 Vickers Vimy Commercial ver 3. After the end of WW1, Vickers decided to build an airliner version of the Vimy bomber. The prototype Vimy Commercial flew in april 1919. A total of 44 were built, most of them for China. The most well-known example was, however, G-EASI 'City of London', flown by Instone Air Line (and later Imperial Airways) 1920-1926.
Version 3 model with better flight dynamics and various other improvement. For FS2004; FSX users should download VimyC_30X.zip instead. By Jens B. Kristensen

| Qantas Consolidated PBY-5 5 paints |

File Description:
Five repaints for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of PBY-5's operated by Qantas on the 'Double Sunrise Service' between Western Australia and Ceylon between 1943 and 1945.
In 1943, Royal Australian Air Force personnel were seconded to operate Catalinas under the banner of Qantas. The plan called for flights between Perth, Western Australia, and RAF Base Koggala in southern Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The flights were the longest non-stop air route of any airline, over 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km) across the Indian Ocean. Navigating without the aid of radio, the crews relied solely on rudimentary navigation by compass and stars during the trip.
Only Catalinas had that kind of range, so five PBY-5 flying boats were converted to make them suitable for the trip.
They received camouflage paint, with a RAAF roundel on the fuselage, but also a civilian registration, since they were officialy operated by Qantas, and they were named after the stars they would be using for navigation:
Vega Star (G-AGFL/FP221 - tail code 1)
Altair Star (G-AGFM/FP244 - tail code 2)
Rigel Star (G-AGID/JX575 - tail code 3)
Antares Star (G-AGIE/JX577 - tail code 4)
Spica Star (G-AGKS/JX287 - tail code 5)
Taking between 27 and 33 hours, with departure timed so that the flight crossed Japanese occupied territory during darkness, the crews would observe the sunrise twice, which led to the service being known as "The Double Sunrise". The flight route flown was along the coast from Perth to Exmouth then setting out towards Cocos (Keeling) Island or Christmas Island (though neither was actually sighted during the flight) and onto Kogalla, a journey of approximately 3,580 nautical miles (6,630 km). After the success of the initial flights, it was decided to run a weekly service, with some services flying over Rottnest Island and then taking a direct line to Kogalla. As part of the Australia-England air route there was a surface component from Kogalla to Karachi that added considerable time to the service. This was later replaced by the Double Sunrise service, with Karachi to England flown by BOAC. Air crews would change in Kogalla taking the next plane in either direction minimising the time taken to complete the journey.
Though stripped of all non-essential equipment, including de-icing equipment and insulation, the average takeoff weight was 15,900 to 16,000 kg; this included 9,040 liters of fuel, which gave the Catalina a range of 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 km). The service made 271 crossings, delivered over 4,500 kg of mail and carried 860 passengers, including among them British MP Edith Summerskill and the journalist Keith Murdoch. 'The Secret Order of The Double Sunrise' was an illustrated certificate given to passengers aboard the flying boats of the Australia-England air link, to attest they had been airborne for more than 24 hours.
After the war the five modified Catalinas that had flown The Double Sunrise service were scuttled.
