Star Runway Calculator for MS Excel

File Description:
This is a quick spreadsheet that takes the effort out of making "star" runways work in AFCAD and FS9. Star runways will allow all non-parallel runways to be in use at one time, making for a much more realistic operation. By entering the true headings and magnetic variation, this will generate a worksheet to use in AFCAD with all of the headings and runway names generated for you. KJFK is used as an example.

American Airlines Crew Announcements for FDSFX

File Description:
American Airlines crew announcements for use with FDSFX. I have recorded these sounds on various flights I have taken, for pure enjoyment in FS2004. Due to the number of announcements included, and the higher quality of them, the filesize jumped to almost 32mb. Rest assured though, this download is well worth it. Total time of the announcements included is 24mins15seconds. As a BONUS I have included alternative announcements from other airlines too, such as British Airways, Finnair, and KLM. I hope you enjoy them! NOTE that you must have fdsfxpnl.zip downloaded and correctly installed to be able to use these sounds.

Vanguard 1 Add-on for Orbiter

File Description:
Originally a simple nose cone was to be carried aloft, but in July of 1957 it was decided that a small 1.47 kilogram (3.25 pound) test satellite would be used instead to exercise the tracking stations. This test satellite would consist of a simple 16 centimeter (6.4 inch) polished aluminum alloy sphere equipped with two transmitters operating at frequencies around 108 MHz, 6 small solar panels, and 6 dowel like antennas. The satellite was Vanguard I, in which its successes set the pattern for a multitude of other space ventures in this country and abroad. Vanguard also served as a springboard for scientists to launch several series of space probes to study various aspects of radiation phenomena. Vanguard I introduced much of the technology that has been applied in other U.S. satellite programs. For example, it proved that solar cells could be used for several years to power radio transmitters. Vanguard's solar cells operated for about seven years, while conventional batteries used to power another onboard transmitter lasted only 20 days. Now the oldest man-made satellite still in orbit to this day, Vanguard I has been 100 percent successful in meeting all its scientific objectives. Now you can fly this historical satellite in orbit. Unlike all the US Navy failed attempts, the Orbiter version will always get you there.

Explorer 1 Add-on for Orbiter

File Description:
Explorer 1 was the first satellite launched by the United States when it was sent into space on January 31, 1958. Following the launch of the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency was directed to launch a satellite using its Jupiter C rocket developed under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory received the assignment to design, build and operate the artificial satellite that would serve as the rocket's payload. JPL completed this job in less than three months. The primary science instrument on Explorer 1 was a cosmic ray detector designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth orbit. Once in space this experiment, provided by Dr. James Van Allen of the State University of Iowa, revealed a much lower cosmic ray count than expected. Van Allen theorized that the instrument may have been saturated by very strong radiation from a belt of charged particles trapped in space by Earth's magnetic field. The existence of these radiation belts was confirmed by another U.S. satellite launched two months later, and they became known as the Van Allen Belts in honor of their discoverer. Explorer 1 revolved around Earth in a looping orbit that took it as close as 354 kilometers (220 miles) to Earth and as far as 2,515 kilometers (1,563 miles). It made one orbit every 114.8 minutes, or a total of 12.54 orbits per day. The satellite itself was 203 centimeters (80 inches) long and 15.9 centimeters (6.25 inches) in diameter. Explorer 1 made its final transmission on May 23, 1958. It entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up on March 31, 1970, after more than 58,000 orbits. The satellite weighed 14 kilograms (30.8 pounds).

LTBA for LTBA2002, Non-parallel Runways

File Description:
AFCAD2 File for : Istanbul, Ataturk ( Yesilkoy ) Intl. Airport, Turkey ( LTBA ) for Istanbul Atatürk Airport - LTBA version 1.1, by Biber Salsa . Although created for FS2002,( some scenery items are a bit out-dated ) it still suits well for FS2004 . All credits to Biber Salsa for the LTBA Ataturk scenery, many many thanks . It's a pleasure to fly between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, with the beautiful Bosporus link between the two . Primarily Runway 36R/18L for Landings and Take-offs, secundary Runway 6/24 . ( Altough recently opened ( ..I believe, not sure .. ), Runway 36L/18R is inoperative ). Have fun, Silvester

Pioneer 4 Add-on for Orbiter

File Description:
Pioneer 3 and 4 were early satellites designed to be lofted toward Earth's Moon. They were equipped with Geiger counters to measure radiation in space. Pioneer 3 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on December 6, 1958. Because of a slight error in the satellite's velocity and angle after burnout of the Juno II rocket, it did not reach the Moon; instead it achieved a peak altitude of 102,320 kilometers (63,580 miles). The satellite did, however, discover a second radiation belt around Earth during its flight. Pioneer 3 reentered Earth's atmosphere over equatorial Africa a day after launch. Pioneer 4 was launched March 3, 1959, and successfully passed within 60,000 kilometers (37,300 miles) of the Moon the following day. The satellite was tracked for 82 hours to a distance of 655,000 kilometers (407,000 miles) from Earth, a record at that time. Pioneer 4 is now orbiting the Sun, the first U.S. spacecraft placed in solar orbit. The Orbiter version will do a little better than get you within 60,000 kilometers like the real one achieved. The flight profile included usually will get you to within 8,000 kilometers, and sometimes, depending on the mood of your copy of Orbiter, may even impact the moon! However since installations may vary, your distance to the moon on arrival, or even impacting the moon, is not guaranteed. Just like the real thing!
