Trans Orient Pacific (TOPAC) Douglas DC-4 N4665V

File Description:
This is a repaint of one of the 2 aircraft used in the film "The High and The Mighty" (John Wayne and Robert Stack - 1954). This aircraft actually flew in this paint around Los Angeles and the bay area of southern California in November of 1953 for in-flight footage, so it's entirely fictional...but the airline was. The original repaint was by Dave McQueen for Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4/C-54 version 2.0. I have updated it to make it compatable with the Jens' new version 2.1 (DC4_v21.zip) to use the DC-4-1009 airfile. Load your plane with 3050 gallons of fuel and balance out passengers and cargo to total 73,000 lbs. and you can duplicate flight #420 in the film! If you wish to shut down engine #1 and dump 200 gallons of fuel from the left wing and see if you can still get to San Fransico from Honolulu, that's up to you..but it is a challenge. Enjoy!This repaint requires Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4/C-54 version 2.1 (DC4_v21.zip)

AES configuration file for the SSTSIM Concorde

File Description:
AES configuration file for the payware SSTSIM Concorde. Docking gates or mobile air stairs will connect with the left forward door. This is the only door that I activated for this file. Tested only with the production models - not tested with pre-production or prototype models. Requires Airport Enhancement Services from Aerosoft. Please note the following: - 1) Due to a limitation with AES, catering service vehicles will not align properly with the right forward door. In AES, its position is deduced from the position of the LEFT door, which with this product, as with the real aircraft, is a few feet further toward the rear. Therefore the gate/stairs willl align properly, but the catering truck driver will miss the mark. 2) I chose not to include baggage vehicles as the forward cargo doors are in an awkward position under the fuselage, and the rear door is too high to be reached properly by the AES baggage vehicles. 3) None of the cargo doors operate on this model anyway.

Douglas VC-118-DO 'The Independence'

File Description:
Built at Santa Monica, CA (c/n 42881/29) as the personal aircraft of President Harry S. Truman. It was named 'The Independence' after President Truman's home town in Missouri. The aircraft was delivered on 1 July 1947 and served from 4 July 1947 on as a presidential aircraft till 1953 when Gen. Dwight Eisenhower became President of the USA. It seems that the rather special paint job was based on an idea by President Truman himself. 46-0505 served on as a general VIP transport till 1966 when it was donated to the Smithonian Institute for preservation. It is on loan to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. 'The Independence' could accommodate for 24 day or 12 sleeper passengers (in the main cabin). It had a luxurious State Room aft of the passenger door. Usually there was a crew of eight. It is featured here in its original tan, blue and metal livery. You will require Jens B. Kristensen's great Douglas DC-6 (early version) (dc6_v10.zip). Original textures by Jens B. Kristensen. Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.

Flight Tested Mods for FSX PA28 to get Realistic Warriors

File Description:
This mod is aimed to the beautiful Australian Simulation FSX PA28 Warrior Version 2, and corrects its few (but annoying) defects. I'm a private pilot lucky enough to have enjoyed a couple hundreds hours on PA28s and, in my opinion, the result is a beautiful, realistic, FLIGHT TESTED FSX aircraft! --- FIXES: 1 - LONGITUDINAL AXIS STABILITY FIXES: a) Turns are now stable: when you put the plane in a turn and center ailerons, the plane will keep its bank angle until new aileron movements. No more sudden and unrealistic "auto-leveling"! b) Fuel tanks unbalances effects are cut down, since they are irrelevant in real life. 2 - AILERON TRIM removed since it's not present in real airplane - SORRY ;-) 3 - FUEL PUMP NOISE replacement for the excessive default FSX sound. ---- SOFTWARE FULLY SUPPORTED: Australian Simulation FSX PA28-161 Warrior Version 2. OTHER PA28 WARRIOR SOFTWARE: NOT TESTED but you can try without risk if you follow the installation procedure, WITHOUT REPLACING YOUR CFG FILES - This will offer you a good flight model, although not fully fixed.

FSX: Enhanced Major Metro Autogen (requires FSX Enhanced Autogen World )

File Description:
This is the second and final part of our enhanced autogen release. This package repairs and upgrades 48 major city autogen building textures world-wide and RESTORES the light maps Aces missed in which large numbers of buildings (Paris, Berlin, London, etc) have been dark since the release of FSX. It includes North America, South America, Asia, Eurasia, Middle East, Europe, Africa and Australia. You MUST install PART ONE (fsx_enhanced_autogen.zip) before using this package. There are links included with the instructiions of this package to PART 1 should you need them along with instructions for FTX users. The included textures will add all the default missing light maps, blend perfectly with GEX Enhanced USA/Canada and are a great match for our upcoming GEX Europe release. Please note these are only textures for major metro auto-generated buildings and are not the city skyscrapers and landmarks. There is absolutely no performance loss -or- performance gain when using these textures which are ONLY for FSX and can not be used in FS9. Happy Holidays from Team GEX to the entire sim community!

mLaunch - Application launcher and monitoring

File Description:
mLaunch starts a predefined list of programs and monitors one or more of them. If an application that was flagged closes, then all the other applications in the list closes. The application is freeware and does not need any setup. It's only one executable file. Requirements: .NET Framework 3.5 Features: - User defined application list - Save the list as a text file - Manually starting and stopping of the required applications - Automatic starting of the applications using command line parameter - Define one or more applications as a KILL- trigger. mLaunch checks periodically if the defined apps are still running. If not, all the rest applications are closed too. - Visible in system tray when minimized - User defined check period (Default: 15 seconds) My typical use: -The list contains all the applications that i want for FS (ActiveSKy, Jeppesen,FS Realtime, Servinfo...) and of course it contains the actual fs9.exe in the end of the list. Only fs9.exe has the close flag enabled (Close Flag = 1) . When FS closes then all the programs are closed too.

Coombs Airport (7NJ7), NJ

File Description:
Located 04 miles NE of Elmer, New Jersey, Coombs Airport is a private turf field 2000' in length wilth clear 20:1 approach and departure at each end of the runway. You'll find some surrounding buildings but they are all located several hundred yards from the runway. This is a good strip to keep in mind for emergencies if you're in the area. You will be landing on terrain so having your mesh complexity set as high as possible is recommended. This airport is not lit at night, daytime VFR operations only are suggested. There are no transient services offered. Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview/aerial photos - the author has not been there in person. This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 004. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.
