| Druine Turbulent |
|
File Description:
A 'generic' Turbulent, representing no particular aircraft, this is a relatively basic AF99 model, (no animations), dusted down and re-polished for FS2004, and fitted out with a custom set of xml gauges on an aluminium panel. This is definitely an aircraft to be sat in and flown, not examined in detail from the outside, the features just aren't there. An old favourite of mine, first designed "way back when" in A&AF for FS4, now dragged back out of the hanger and used as an ideal "lo & slo" aircraft with photographic VFR scenery and/or a good terrain package, the small panel allowing a much better view in flight than many other aircraft. With a cruise speed of 80kts you'll not be in a hurry to get anywhere, but with a landing speed of around 30kts and a take-off roll of "not a lot" you can operate into and out of any farmstrip. These slow speeds, combined with the relatively good visibility from the cockpit, also make this an ideal aircraft for "tailwheel conversion" ... great if you have problems landing the Extra 300 or possibly even the Cub.

| RAF Shepherds Grove - Suffolk, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Shepherds Grove is a former Royal Air Force station located 9.9 miles (15.9 km) north-east of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England.
The Station was originally built for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Eighth Air Force during the Second World War. However the facility was not used by the USAAF and was opened by No. 3 Group RAF on 3 April 1944. The name came from a small copse nearby and the airfield is close to Walsham le Willows in Suffolk.
It was occupied by No. 196 Squadron RAF in January 1945 as a base for Operation Varsity, supporting the Rhine crossing.
Various American units occupied the station after WW2 but ended their use of the unit in December 1958.
On 22 July 1956, No. 82 Squadron RAF was activated at Shepherds Grove as a Thor missile unit. Thor launching sites were built on the main airfield and became operational in 1959.
The base was closed in 1966. Third party files are required - see the readme.txt for details.

| Northern Oman SRTM mesh |
|
File Description:
This terrain mesh scenery covers northern of Oman emirate as well as some parts of United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaima, Fujiarah...). The southern and western boundaries are approx 22°N / 54°E.
No part of Iran has been included.
Based on SRTM Data (3 arcsec, 90m) and sampled to LOD9 resolution (76m) using Matthew Styles's program "SRTM To BGL v1.04". While only tested with Fs2004, this mesh should also run with FS2002.
SRTM 3 arcsec dataset has numerous void areas in this part of the world. But thanks to John Child's beautiful and powerful "Blackart" utility it's now easy to patch these areas with lower resolution dataset: I took the coupled interpolation method to merge SRTM 3-arcsec with SRTM 30-arcsec dataset when needed. This gives the best results, as patched areas with 30-arcsec data are blending naturally with surrounding 3-arcsec mesh. Of course the resolution of patched areas is quite poor, but still a bit better than the default LOD5 mesh.

File Description:
Cycle 0603 PMDG SIDSTAR file by Terry Yingling revised 3/22/2006 by Dan Downs for KHOU Houston William P Hobby. The controllers at Houston are creative. There is a BLUBELL STAR that goes over the Bluebell Ice Cream creamry, with fixes at COWZZ and SNDAY. Houston Texan football fans are aware thay they have a new COACH, and are hoping for more TCHDN and fewer FMBLE from their QTRBK named CARRR. Basketball fans cheer for the ROKIT team, and love it when they SSLAM DUUNK. All SID, STAR and ILS procedures edited as required to comply with current charts. SIDS have initial tracks off of runway and vectors command to eliminate discontinuities. Constraints added to BLUBL2 DAS6 HOAGI1 LISSE6 MHF1(change MEAs to STAR constraints), DAS6 HOAGI1 RIICE1 ROKIT7 STAR routes for KHOU added, adjusted transition routes between BILEE and RIICE to conform with STAR instructions. Added TEXXN3.12R and TEXXN3.04 to provide direct RNAV to IAFs for rwys 12R/4 per note on chart. Minor adjustments to ILS 4/12R/30L, including set hard constraint at GS intercept.
