| Sorted POI global cities and airports pack for FSDiscover! |
|
File Description:
README:
FSDiscover! Global Point of Interest pack.
Here is a poi pack of roughly 147 000 cities, 40 000 small airports,
1 177 seaplane bases, 4695 medium airports and 475 of the largest
airports.
Airports are split up in categories, small, medium, big, seaplane base.
Cities are split up into files of 10 000 cities each by size.
There are 15 files for cities.
The smallest cities are in xaa, xab, xac, xad, and so on.
The biggest cities are in xam, xan, until xao.
You should open the files in notepad to see for yourself which city
files to activate in FSDiscover! to balance clutter and detail.
This has been my main problem with the default populated places list;
there is no way to sort by population size
Compared to the default FSDiscover! populated places here are some
notes:
I have noticed that in the default FSDiscover! set for europe and many
other places, the coordinates are placed like on a "honeycomb" grid
which obviously is not very precise. In general, in terms of city map
precision, this pack should be better.
In the default pack, in an area I am familiar with, a city was placed on the other side of
a river compared to reality. In many other areas, you can clearly see
that the cities are not well-aligned with Ultimate Terrain europe or
even some places in UT USA. My theory is that either data was not super
precise for europe to begin with or that the dataset has been arranged
in the honeycomb grid fashion perhaps to reduce clutter or something.
Mostly though, the default populated places FSDiscover! file is very
useful for really small villages since these tend to be forgotten in
other datasets. The problems come when you want to filter out smaller
villages or airports. This is where this pack comes in handy.
Since no data is perfect, you can use this pack alone or in
combination with the FSDiscover! defaults. Personally, I put the same
files in both "Documents/FSDiscover Files" and
"Program Files/FSDiscover" so I can pick and choose a useful combo
from relevant sets inside the options.
Personally, I prefer the cities from this pack and the rest
(mountains, rivers etc.) from the default FSDiscover! pack.
INSTALLATION:
Just unzip the archived files into "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\FSDiscover Files"
or "C:\Program Files (x86)\FSDiscover!\geodata" or both!
I do not know if the geodata folder is completely overwritten some
times or not so keep that in mind. (probably safe, though)

| North American T-6 Texan (F-BJBF) Air France |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A North American T-6 Texan/Harvard in the colors of North American T-6G F-BJBF of Air France, 1962. Originally built as 41-33931 (c/n 88-14948), it went to the RAF as EX959. It was used by the 20 Service Flying Training School in Rhodesia from January 1943 onwards. After the war, it was transported back to the UK, where it was sold to the Belgian Air Force, where it became H-9. It flew from Brustem until 1959. The Belgian Air Force then sold it to Air France, with 14 other Harvards, for use at its flight school in Pontoise Cormeilles en Vexin, west of Paris. It flew with Air France until 1965, when it was sold to Mr Urbain of Cannes, who flew it in Air Esterel colors until 1971. It then went to the UK, becoming G-AZJD. It remained based at Biggin Hill until 1984, when it went back to France as F-AZDU, being bought by Guy Robert, a former Mirage pilot who recieved his training in the '50's on a Harvard in Marocco. In 2001 it was sold to John Colors SL in Barcelona, but it retained its French registration of F-AZDU. It is still airworthy, based at Sabadell in Spain. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

| Peace River CYPE in northwest Alberta, Canada UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version of the original post (from 2014) made in November 2018. It provides missing textures, and deals properly with an ai problem that I thought I had already fixed. It also adds extra objects to the apron area and adds a third gate. It is complete in itself and can be installed as-is if you do not have the original post. The Peace River flows east from the Rockies, joining up with the Slave River to empty into Great Slave Lake. The town is on both banks close to a bend where the Peace turns to the north, 245 miles northwest of Edmonton. The population is 7,000 and the surrounding area is either farmland or forest. The airport is just over 3 miles west of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 04/22, lit, and with PAPI. There is a second runway to the south of the main runway, 1,900 feet of grass and aligned 08/26. The apron is to the north of the runway at the eastern end and is large; there is a purpose-built terminal building, plus other hangar buildings along taxiway C that extends westward from the apron. The airport is experiencing an increase in scheduled and GA flights in the last few years.

| CYPE - Peace River - Northwest Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Peace River flows east from the Rockies, joining up with the Slave River to empty into Great Slave Lake. The town is on both banks close to a bend, 245 miles northwest of Edmonton. The population is 7,000 and the surrounding area is either farmland or forest and used for winter sports; Peace River hosted the 2004 Alberta Winter Games. The airport is just over 3 miles west of the town. The runway is 5,000 feet of wide asphalt (150 feet) aligned 04/22, lit, and with PAPI. There is a second runway to the south of the main runway, 1,900 feet of grass and aligned 08/26. The apron is to the north of the runway at the eastern end and is large; there is a purpose-built terminal building, plus other hangar buildings along taxiway C that extends westward from the apron. The airport gives the impression that it is under-used; there are no long lines of parked planes waiting for the weekend and few scheduled flights. These are mainly (totally?) by Sunwest Home Aviation, but unfortunately nobody has made the textures for Sunwest and my talents do not run in that direction so I have made believable substitutions. There is also a small but obstinate AI difficulty, described in the notes.

| KMEM (Memphis Intl.) bgl/afcad for Prepar3D v5 |
|
File Description:
This is a modification of the stock Memphis afcad/bgl in Prepar3d v5 and models the airport in its state prior to the new construction occurring presently at the main terminal area. For ease of use and simplicity, gates are numbered "Gate A1, Gate A2", etc...
I tried to match as closely as possible the FedEx Terminal as close to what was shown on current Navigraph charts but it is NOT exact.
Airport Breakdown:
Passenger Terminal w/ airline codes have been added to gates.
- Concourse A: Gates 1-8
- Concourse B: Gates 1-24
- Concourse C: Gates 1-8
- FedEx Terminal - Dock numbering is based loosely on the dock numbers found on the Navigraph charts for KMEM. Not all docks are represented but there 120 spaces for parking there.
- FedEx Maintenance - Is on the East side of the airport below runway 27. It has 16 static parking areas.
- Northwest FBO - Located West of runway 18C. It has 18 parking spots.
- Northeast FBO - Located East of Runway 18C to the left of the FedEx Maint. area. It has 14 parking spots.
- South Cargo - Located next to Runway 36R. It has 5 parking spots (I am assuming UPS and other carriers).
- Military Ramp - Located next to South Cargo next to Runway 36R. It has 5 parking spots.
I hope you enjoy this enhancement of KMEM

| Sikorsky CH-3 'Jolly Green Giant'. Three detailed Sikorsky CH-3 liveries of original helicopters, used by the USAF in the early sixties. |
|
File Description:
This download, based on the original Giovanni Quai's Agusta HH-3F, contains three detailed Sikorsky CH-3 liveries of original helicopters, used by the USAF in the early sixties.
-Sikorsky CH-3E USAF/21stHeliSqdr. No.703 'DUSTY'.Vietnam War Livery.
CH-3E Jolly Green Giant heavy-lift helicopter, introduced in 1962. It was developed for aircrew rescue missions deep into enemy-held territory during the Vietnam War where the helicopters were best known as the "Jolly Green Giants". This version contains an improved and more detailed livery.
-Sikorsky CH-3 USAF 1370th Photographic Mapping Wing, MATS, APCS, Turner AFB, Albany, GA 1959-1966. Bare metal liveries around 1966, No's. 39686 and 39687.
These helicopters were used by the 1370th Photo-Mapping Wing for supply and support of geodetic ground stations in conjunction with aerial surveys. They were assigned to the wing in 1964 and replaced the H-21 "Workhorse". Both "Jollys" joined the Ethiopia-U.S. Mapping Mission (Project AF58-3), aka Project "King's Ransom " in 1964-1966. This unique mission was created in order to photograph and map the entire Empire of Ethiopia.
If you want to know more about the 1370th Photographic Mapping Wing or photomapping helicopters in general, please visit the very interesting page of Jim Kinter sr.
