Grafton District Airport - NSW Australia

File Description:
A delighful small airport approximately 80 nautical miles from Coffs Harbour and a slightly shorter distance to Ballina and Lismore. This makes a good stopover for hopping down the east coast of Australia. The size of the airport has allowed me to put in that extra detail which makes to terminal and surrounds very much "as in real life". Photographic textures are used throughout for the buildings and even the trees are hand made macros from photographs at the airport. AFCAD and Traffic Tools files are included to add extra AI traffic. For that reason and because of limited apron space no static planes have been used. The scenery concentrates on adding a realistic terminal to the airport whilst leaving much of the default runway detail unchanged. Changes which have been made to the runway include tidying up the taxi way fillets so the markings do not appear to be on the grass and the windsocks have been replaced with macros designed to resemble the Grafton windsocks. Other than that the airport merges into the default scenery without the usual "green oasis" effect.

Starways Viscount 708 G-ARIR

File Description:
Founded in 1948 based at Blackpool, Starways moved to Liverpool the following year. It expanded throughout the 1950 and in 1961 this Viscount was acquired from Air France where it had served since June 1954 as F-BGNS. At the end of 1962 it was joined by G-APZB a series 707 which came from Tradair. In late 1963 a co-operation agreement was signed with British Eagle which was in effect a take over of Starways operations. Effective from 1st January 1964 British Eagle Viscounts appeared with Starways titles. G-APZB was sold to Channel and this machine returned to France and a new career with Air Inter as F-BLHI. It returned to the UK with Alidair in June 1975 and after various leases and livery changes was sold in December 1983 to Janus. Eleven months later it was sold to MMM Aero Services of Zaire as 9Q-CAH in November 1984. However it only got as far as Ostend in Belgium where it was broken up in December 1988.

AI Cull Traffic Density Tool for FSX/P3D (Version 1.1)

Images related to this file:

File Description: The AICull.exe utility provides intelligent traffic density for AI aircraft. The user enters the ICAO(s) of the airports the user (typically) departs from and arrives at. AICull then removes AI that is not departing from or arriving at these ICAO(s) in order to boost frame rate, but still maintain an immersive AI experience for the user. That is, the user will perceive normal traffic density at the airports the user departs or arrives at, however all other AI in the area will be deleted saving frame rates and memory. The user may also enter an unlimited number of ICAO(s) to monitor. The user may also update the list of ICAO(s) while the program is running. AICull.exe requires SimConnect and the latest, registered version of FSUIPC ver. 4.9x (or later version). For best results, use with traditional bgl-based AI traffic (e.g., default, Word of AI, My Traffic X, etc.) although the program does work to lesser effect with the simconnect-based Ultimate Traffic 2 (see the included ReadMe). Revision: fixed "Problem Opening FSUIPC Link" for P3D.

Airstrips of Eastern France

Images related to this file:

File Description: Next in my ongoing "Airstrips of Western Europe" project for FS2004, herewith about 100 sceneries of small, mostly default airfields in the eastern section of France, each enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces and aprons as appropriate, to further facilitate the generation of lightweight AI traffic in the area without overloading the more major airfields. When combined with the French airstrips from my previous uploads, the majority of the default small French airstrips in FS2004 will be able to generate AI traffic, should you so wish, as well as putting a little basic detail into the countryside. Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.

DX10 Shader Fixers V3.2.3

File Description:
DX10 Shader Fixes V3.2.3. These are a set of shader fixes for DX10 Preview mode in FSX. The patch should not effect DX9 in any way. It addresses the following bugs in the DX10 preview:

1) Flashing runways/taxiways
2) Yellow/white runway markings transparency
3) Opaque chain fences
4) Progressive Taxi markings missing
5) Missing night scenery/semi-transparent dusk scenery (often misdescribed as missing night textures)
6) Some addon cars with black headlights
7) Softer VC shadow
8) Eliminates false sun on VC roof and side wall
9) ORBX FTX Global lights with black background rectangles fixed

Also included are an optional replacement water shade, aircraft lights package and an optional replacement background texture. This can replace the light blue DX10 uses and is close to what DX9 uses in the same circumstances.

With Steve Parson's permission I have updated the shader_release_v3.2.2 patch to shader_release_v3.2.3 to now include a fix for DX10 ORBX FTX Global Lights.

• Flightplan_Visualizer_109_1.jpg

File Description:
Flightplan Visualizer (FV) version 1.9.0. Copyright 2018-2019 by Pelle F. S. Liljendal ([email protected]), all rights reserved. FV comes with 300 Commercial-, and +380 BizJet AI pre-imported flightplans which the creators of those flightplans have gracefully allowed me to include with the installer, however you are able to import additional (AI) flightplans if you want to. Once imported these (AI) flightplans can be visualized on a map-view, and the user will be able to search accross all these. Hence you can use the program as inspiration as to which routes to fly. E.g. you can search across all imported flightplans to find all flights in an A321 flying into/out from LDDU, or simply to look for all flights in a Boeing 747-8F. Simply run the included installer to install the software. The program will be installed into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flightplan Visualizer" and all datafiles will be installed into: "C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\FlightplanVisualizer". The program comes with a full manual explaining everything, and a 3 page quick manual to get you started. The first 3 times you run the program the quick manual will automatically open. The forum is hosted here: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/919-flightplan-visualizer/ Version 1.9 is adding METAR and TAF-reports and decoding of these Pelle

NumberPad Control Move Aircraft Utility

File Description:
NpCmoveAircraft is a Lua script in the Numberpad Control family of FSX scripts that can be used to move an aircraft to a new position. Each step includes prompts for the required input and format. User inputs include the DISTANCE to move (NMs), the DIRECTION to move (degrees magnetic), the desired aircraft ALTITUDE (ft), the desired aircraft HEADING (degrees magnetic), and the desired aircraft IAS (Kts) along with the LANDING GEAR POSITION -- up (u), down (d) or fixed (f). Or for any of the five inputs the user can simply enter a carriage return (Enter key) to signify NO CHANGE for that particular entry. Prior to the move the aircraft can be on the ground or in the air. So, for example, NpCmoveAircraft can be used to simply turn an a/c around, to move it to the other end of a runway, to re-position it for another approach after landing, to jump ahead in cruise, to catch up to another a/c, etc. NpCmoveAircraft works with default FSX aircraft and many add-on aircraft that adhere to the standard FSUIPC offsets. A registered copy of FSUIPC is required to execute the NpCmoveAircraft Lua script. Simply copy the script to the Modules folder of FSX and assign a ‘hot key’, button or switch to activate the script.

Lockheed L-749A Constellation TWA 1958

File Description:
FS2004 Lockheed L-749A Constellation TWA 1958. In June 1939 TWA (Transcontinental & Western Air) required a four-engined airliner capable of flying transcontinental US services non stop west to east or with one stop travelling in the opposite direction against the prevailing wind. The specification was drawn up by TWA's major shareholder Howard Hughes and TWA-director Jack Frye. The intial result was the L-49 Constellation, but before the first aircraft was built WWII broke out and the Connie was drafted by the militaries as C-69. After the war the C-69 was renamed L-049 Constellation and delivered to a.o. TWA (27). The L-649 and L-749 Constellations were the first true civil versions. TWA used 12 L-749's and 28 L-749A's from March 1948 till 1967. This particular L-749A, N6001C 'Star of New Jersey', flew with TWA from 24 March 1950 till September 1966. It was scrapped in 1968. This repaint is a much improved version of the one issued in 2006. It has not been tested for the FSX version of Abacus' Constallation but probably will function there as well. These are textures only. You will require Francisco Sánchez-Castañer's great payware Lockheed L-749 Constellation, which can be obtained from Abacus' Platinum Collection (see http://www.abacuspub.com/default.html). Repaint (based on Francisco Sánchez-Castañer's textures) by Maarten Brouwer.

• PHPBA_Douglas_C47_DC3_September_1944_historical_re_3.jpg

File Description: The PH-PBA, once USAAF '42-100971' as she looked during Operation Market Garden. She was named 'The Squirrel'. This historical repaint is inspired by 75th commemoration of the Allied drops into Holland, September 1944. The chalk number '3' depicts her paradrop mission on Sept. 17th , 1944 into DZ-N south-west of Groesbeek. The PH-PBA still flies today with the DDA Classic Airlines, 75 years onwards. For more info on DDA Classic Airlines visit there site: https://www.dutchdakota.nl/en/home/ These are repaint only, you need to install the beautiful freeware plane first. Big thanks to Manfred Jahn and his team for creating this beautiful model and Jan Visser and his team for all the work done to improve this model even further. Ted "TuFun" Wolfgang for the improved engine textures. For this repaint the excellent paintkit by Gordon "Gman5250" Madison was used. Works both in FSX and Prepar3D.
