| 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).

| Val-U-Prop C-54 With Photographic Surround Panel |
|
File Description:
Based on the brilliantly night-lit, fully animated Dc4 of Tom Gibson and Harry Follas and Hans Hermann, this package includes flight dynamics (by Brian Horsey) selected for excellent stability, easy handling and landing. The plane really flies great - and the panel is photographic, using the photography of Thomas Klein for main cockpit and pilot's side views; Janathan Derden's very metallic wing views; and the vintage C-54 cabin was photographed by Miguel Snoep.It has military capability, including machine guns and NUCLEAR/GPS/JDAM guided bomb launch. Panel includes everything on main panel, except for GPS and (optional) default radios, so there is no tabbing. The very aluminal wing views were shot by Thomas Klein, Gauges by James Underwood, Ernie Kennedy and Dai Griffiths. A-bomb and machine guns by Chris Trotter. All of this brought to you by Val-U-Prop.

File Description:
This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Cachimbo Airport (ICAO: SBCC, no IATA code), which is the military airport serving "Campo de Provas Brigadeiro Velloso", a large testing and training complex of the Brazilian Armed Forces located in Serra do Cachimbo (English: Smoking pipe Mountains), in the southern part of the state of Pará, Brazil. It is operated by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, city buildings, ortho-photoscenery for the airfield area, the new apron 2, and (XP11 only) airport ground services (like push back). This scenery was tested and is operational (as of April 16, 2017) in "X-Plane 11.00 RC #1 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of April 16, 2017) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. Only the default X-Plane 11 libraries, by Laminar Research, are needed. No third party libraries are used.

File Description:
This is a fictitous scenery of the Alaska State University operated North-Western observatories.
It is located near LSR_Lost River and AK45_Lost River_2 on the Western coast of Alaska.
LSR, AK45 and KPC_Port Clarence have been upgraded with hangers and various objects.
LSR, AK45 and the (2) mountain top observatories have been upgraded with helipads along with various ground vehicles including snocats, aircraft, misc buildings and hangers. The main observatory complex has a main rooftop pad and a heli-tower. These helipads were designed for heli practice. some are on the ground and others are a bit more challenging.
There is a map included which shows the locations of the observatory complexes in relation to the airports. There is also a small research facility located to the east which is indicated on the map. This fictional scenery was design with default FSX 3D objects and (1) addon library, fa_ez-arctic_set by Finney Air, Robert Finnegan.

| Majestic Dash-8 Q400 Easy Flying Guide ** UPDATED ** |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Dash-8 Q400 by Majestic Software for FSX is a very complex model, and therefore continuous practice is normally needed to remain current on this aircraft. This EASY FLYING GUIDE is made for those who want to fly this wonderful model only occasionally, without studying the manuals before each flight. The EASY FLYING GUIDE leads you through your flight with the Majestic Software Dash-8 Q400, from the preparation of the FSX until engine shutdown at the parking position of the destination airport. It is a kind of checklist, amended by additional information (e.g. where the switches for each step are located in the cockpit and how to operate the essential FMS functions). Besides a PDF, there is also a DOC file which allows you to modify the guide for your own needs (but not for further distribution/publishing!). Updated version with slightly modified flow and extended description of FMS and engine functions, based on Pilot Edition V1.012

| HAAB Bole Intl. Airport Addis Ababa Ethiopia |
|
File Description:
Since nobody decided to make HAAB scenery until now, I decided to share my HAAB scenery with you. In fact I've built
it for personal use only, because I was expecting someone who is interested in Addis Ababa Airport to build it, but I didn't
see any thing. The scenery is pretty nice and extremely close to real. You will note 2 new things in the scenery, the first
one is the new pax terminal building and the second one is the new cargo complex. I've assigned rwy 7L\25R for take-off
only and rwy 7R\25L for landing only in order to facilitate air traffic within the airport also to avoid any bug or delay in
departure or arrival time. Bole Airport is the main hub of Ethiopian Airlines, the national airline of Ethiopia, in addition it
is one of the main pilot training and aircraft maintenance centers in Africa. Airport layout designed by using Google
Earth.

| Camden Field in Trinidad, original and renovated hangars |
|
File Description:
Camden Field is in southwest Trinidad near a town called Couva and the petrochem complex at nearby Point Lisas. This version has the renovated hangar which is how it is now, plus the older version. I have included a landclass file to put in some farm fields and also nearby housing, textures for an AI crop duster plane, (by Marvin Vandeweert) and an AFCAD, and I have finished all the things I didn't get to before, the tanks, the green railings for the control tower, etc. Camden Field was once a wartime American airfield, which shows up in the wide east-west runway that has more recently been partly resurfaced. There are no runway markings beyond a centre line, and it just sort of tapers off at the sides and the eastern end into the bush. There is a renovated hangar to the north of the runway and some older "patched together" buildings to the south which were fun to model.
