File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-85-BO #43-38348 LG-O "Roxy's Special" of the 322 BS/ 91st BG based in Bassingbourne UK. #348 arrived in Bassingbourne on 18 August 1944, and very quickly received her nose art, by Corporal Tony Starcer. By 5 September, it had flown four missions to Germany. The next mission, on the 8th of September, was to the I.G. Farben Chemical Plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany. On board this mission was David McCarty, pilot, Neil M. Mylin, co-pilot, Donald L. Brazones, navigator, Frank S. Bolen, bombardier, John Cangemi, top turret, Frank F. Trim, Jr., ball turret, Charles E. Beebe, waist guns, Floyd Z. Dillon, tail gun, and Henry R. Schuls, radio operator. Around 11.35 hours, short of the bomb drop near Ludwigshafen, “Roxy’s Special†took a hit ripping off a wing. A spin ensued pinning Bolen and navigator Don Brazones in their nose bubble followed almost immediately by an explosion blowing them free of the aircraft. Bolen and Brazones were the only two survivors of “Roxy’s Special.†They both parachuted down, but not together, therefore neither knew the fate of the other until later. Bolen eluded capture for 7 days before being picked up and carted off to Stalag Luft 1 near Barth, Germany after interrogations. Brazones had been picked up before Bolen and processed through the channels to Stalag Luft 1. The two were reunited at Stalag Luft 1 where they spent the remainder of the war. On Sept. 14, 1944, the day Bolen was captured, his wife Frances gave birth to their first child, Linda, in Selma - a child Bolen would not see until returning from imprisonment and the war. The “Roxy’s Special†crash site was near a Lutheran Church in Ludwigshafen. A very respectful group of Germans removed the remains of the air crew and buried them in the local cemetery. After the war, the remains were turned over to American authorities and they moved them to a National Cemetery in Northern France. In 1947, Bolen served as casket bearer for David McCarty when he was brought home to rest in Birmingham.

| PMDG C-40A clipper US NAVY |
|
File Description:
You must own the PMDG B737-600/700 aircraft for these textures to work.
These textures are for use with PMDG B737-700 with airstairs no winglets to be used in fs9,
textures where saved in 32bit with alpha channels aplied.
The textures in this file represent the real US NAVY C-40A clipper,of VR58/VR59 squadrons,which is based on the B737-700,
but with strengthened wings and u/c from the B737-800.
the PMDG B737-700 aircraft paintkit,as been reworked,in order to get this repaint scheme done,from photos on airliners net,
as a guide,the mods are extra panel lines on the 4 main doors,to represent the hinged top and bottom sections,
forward sevice door as been repositioned,so it is in line with the internal door,and the panel lines for the
main port forward cargo door added,windows and blank window frames,altered to represent those on the C-40A clipper.
Night textures and alpha channels modied to the same.
the aircraft represented are JV829/832/834 of VR-58 squadron (sunseekers) and
RY830/831/832/833 of VR-59 squadron (lonestar express).
There is a bit of confusion,over aircraft reg and nose names,because the aircraft where swapped squadrons,832 is one example.
i have included read me and instruction files,and jpegs to give help on getting these to work.

| Avro Lancastrian II |
|
File Description:
A close derivative of the war-time Lancaster bomber, the Lancastrian was
fitted with streamlined nose and tail cones. Lancastrians were used as
long-range freighters, VIP transports, and jet engine test beds by the
RAF, as fast long-range airliners and mailplanes by Trans Canada Air
Lines, BOAC, BSAA, QUANTAS, and Alitalia, and as tankers by Flight
Refuelling Ltd. Charter operators were Skyways and Silver City.
Eighty-two aircraft were build, but most of them had vanished in
scrapyards by the early nineteen-fifties. In the immediate post-war
years, TCA offered twice-weekly Lancastrian flights from Dorval, Canada,
to Prestwick and London, while BOAC and BSAA (under chief pilot D.C.T.
Bennett) operated flights to Australia and South America, all based on a
rather uneconomical ratio of five crew to up to fourteen passengers. The
outbound leg from Hurn to Learmouth, Australia, took three days and well
over fifty hours flying time, with Lydda, Karachi, and Ceylon serving as
staging posts. BSAA's London to Buenos Aires flight took 56 hours.
Either way, one needs to have plenty of time on one's hands to recreate
these epic journeys. Gmax exterior model and textures by Manfred Jahn,
FDE and 2D panel by Paul Edwards (based on a panel by Phil Perrott of
Alphasim). The three texture sets included represent VM734 of 246
Squadron RAF, G-AGLY ("Norfolk") of BOAC, and G-AKFG of Flight
Refuelling Ltd.

| Houston Astros Beechcraft Twin Bonanza |
|
File Description:
Simmers,and Baseball fans. These 1951 D Model Beechcraft Twin Bonanzas are pristine, no dirt, grease or oil leaks on these babies! Just fresh out of the paint booth, these are the 7th set of repaints of my in progress MLB collection. All repaints are of "Eric Dantes" Beachcraft Twin Bonanza. All MLB teams will be represented. These repaints are not layered so each one has to be redrawn in its offical colors. All repaints will have two liveries, one with team logos and one without logos. All MLB team names were put in two hats, American League and National League they are drawn one from each hat at random. The next repaint will be the Detroit Tigers. Look for it soon. I hope you have as much fun collecting all 30 liveries as I will have painting them!
This file also includes a new folder: DXT3 Format. For those of you that require friendlier frame rates just replace the 32 bit 888-8 extended bitmap textures with the DXT3 textures in the DXT3 Format folder. Backup the 32 bit 888-8 extended bitmap textures, then just let the DXT3 files overwrite. This file includes the Texture.Astros"(Houston Astros Edition)", Texture.MLB Houston," (The MLB Houston Edition) NO..LOGOS, Panel. Astros and Panel. MLB Houston folders. The following additional file is required: twinstar__twin__bonanza_v2.zip This file can be downloaded @ http://www.avsim.com/ Again I thank each of you for your downloads.

| C-46 Curtiss Commando - With Buffalo Air type VC and Failure Model |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
FS2004 Curtiss C46 VC And Failure Model, v2. For the C46 Curtiss Commando aircraft by Libardo Guzman Garcia, Greg Pepper, and Tom Gibson (GAC46V2.ZIP). This is my Version 2 and it supersedes my previous uploads (c46bflvc.zip, c46bflfix.zip, c46bfl_up.zip). It adds a virtual cockpit similar to the Buffalo Airways C46 cockpit as well as pilot induced and random failures/damages through gauges originally developed by Charles Owens for the DC3C (most failures) and by Robert Graf (carburetor icing and oil consumption) for the DC-6. These gentlemen together with Gunter Tesons RealEngine_v14 have really made flying piston aircraft a lot more interesting. The frequency of random failures can be adjusted between "never" and "certain" but you always have to watch the engine limitations, carburetor icing, and oil consumption.
Further gauges by other authors are used or have been modified or have been developed by me. Version 2 increases the number of failures (engine, fire, leaks, systems, equipment, instruments), and introduces an improved upper overhead panel, an abbreviated interactive checklist on the panel, and reduced braking in rain, snow and freezing rain. Version 1 is not required for Version 2. See the C46BFL ReadMe V2.txt for further details and credits. Required files: ga_c46_v2.zip, RealEngine_v14.zip and also recommended: The Project Tupolev TU-154M aircraft for the fully functional KLN90B GPS (PT aircraft available at: http://files.protu-154.net/).

File Description:
Beechcraft King Air C90B for FS9
This is a series of repaints for Dee Waldron's King Air C90B. I have recently revised the textures, adding details and shadowing thanks to Henry Tomkiewicz' AI paint kits. There are 12 repaints in this file. Screen shots are enclosed. I have also included a paint kit. The visual model, aircraft configuration file and air files are included.
This aircraft, and other members of the King Air family are projects Dee and I worked together on some years ago. The textures are newly refreshed. I have many hours happily flying these aircraft. Dee's model is very sparing of resources. This aircraft may be used as an AI aircraft or a fully flyable aircraft.
As far as panels and sounds, I've left this to the user. The stock Microsoft King Air is an obvious starting point. Pierre Fasseux has designed three alternatives to the default panel, which represent a better choice. Leon Medado has created a very good freeware alternative to the default sounds. These are all available in the Flightsim.com library.
Instructions:
Unzip into a separate folder. Move the folder named labeled Dee Waldron King Air C90B into your FS9 folder. Add panel and sound of your choice.
These files are provided on an as-is basis. I have tested them and have found them to work as intended.

File Description:
Built for Aer Lingus as EI-AFW and delivered in March 1954 this aircraft was sold to Eagle Airways (Bermuda) in January 1960 as VR-BBJ. In March 1961 it was transferred to the renamed Cunard Eagle Airways when the shipping company bought a large interest in Eagle. It became G-ARKH until after Cunard pulled out and teamed up with BOAC. The airline was renamed British Eagle and this aircraft was sent back to the caribbean taking up it's previous marks of VR-BBJ in July 1962. Just two months later it was bought by Bahamas Airways who sold it in July 1963 to BOAC Associate Companies and reverted to G-ARKH. It continued with Bahamas Airways as VP-BCF when repurchased in January 1964. This continued until December 1968 when it was bought by Bahamas Developement Corporation and WFU and stored Nassau, Bahamas. Sold to James Carter in July 1973 it was withdrawn at Little Rock Arkansas. Sold to Southern International Air Transport in December 1977 it was broken up at California City, California later the same month. Requires the FSDS Viscount 700 model by Rick Piper
