| FSX/P3D Aloha Airlines DC-3 circa 1958 |

File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-3 in Aloha Airlines colors. The freeware DC-3/C-47 v3 by Manfred Jahn is needed for this repaint. Aloha was founded in 1946 under the name of Trans Pacific Airways. With a single DC-3, they offered passenger charter and cargo services between the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. On February 11 1949 they officially became a scheduled service airline. Their main rival was Hawaiian Airlines, and in 1957 they changed their name to Aloha Airline to better compete against Hawaiian. In 1959 a modern F-27 joined the fleet, which forced the retirement of Aloha's aging DC-3 fleet by the mid 1960s. They also introduced the Viscount 745D in June 1961. BAC-111s were acquired in 1966. However, the British made airliners had limitations in the very humid environment of Hawaii, and in 1967 Aloha ordered 2 Boeing 737-200s with a further 6 in 1968 to replace the BAC-111s. The 737s were destined to become the workhorse of the airline, with over 60 being used by Aloha over the years. Their iconic "Flower Power" livery was unveiled in 1969, and was reintroduced in 2006 on one of their 737 as a retro livery. Due to heavy financial problems caused by various factors, Aloha unfortunately ceased operations on March 31 2008. This DC-3, N2804D, was leased by Aloha in the late 1950s. Textures are DDS DXT5. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE and should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.

| FSX Canadian Airlines (Concept) Boeing 737-MAX10 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint for the amazing TDS Boeing 737-MAX10. It includes the base model, high-quality textures, a VC, and custom ground service vehicles.
Canadian Airlines never flew the Boeing 737-MAX10, as by the time the company was absorbed by Air Canada in 1999 the aircraft did not exist. Canadian Airlines did fly a fleet of 77 737-200's and -300's. However, in our new universe, Canadian Airlines has taken delivery of one single Boeing 737-MAX10, available to fly any route of your choice. It flies under the registration C-FCDS and the tail number 731.
Livery Info
This is a concept livery created completely by me. I'd like to think if Canadian Airlines still existed, they would be thinking about rebranding into this wonderful, modern livery. It features Canada Goose on the tail and red and blue styling representing the mountains and sea; two of Canada's most stunning natural features. The engines are also splashed with some red, and the Canadian Airlines Chevron adorns the belly of the aircraft, as well as on the Sharklet wingtips.
MAX VC and Cockpit Info
This aircraft includes a VC updated to closer resemble the true-to-life MAX cockpit. The VC is the Microsoft/Alejandro Rojas Lucena/FSND base modified by Speedbird77 including gauges by G. Munro. I have also modified the 2d panel. I increased the size of the PFD and MFD to better fill the panel. If you don't like this modification, you can search for the original panel included in the base model.

| Amundsen-Scott Station |
|
File Description:
The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is the American scientific research station on the high plateau of Antarctica. This station is located at the southernmost place on the Earth, the Geographic South Pole, at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9301 feet) above sea level.
Since the Amundsen-Scott Station is located at the South Pole, it is at the only place on the land surface of the Earth where the sun is continuously up for six months and then continuously down for six months. (The only other such place is at the North Pole, on the sea ice in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.) Thus, during each year, this station experiences one extremely long "day" and one extremely long "night". During the six-month "day", the angle of elevation of the Sun above the horizon varies continuously. The sun rises on the September equinox, reaches its maximum angle above the horizon on the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, around 20 December, and sets on the March equinox.
During the six-month "night", it gets extremely cold at the South Pole, with air temperatures sometimes dropping below -73�°C (-100�°F). This is also the time of the year when blizzards, sometimes with gale-force winds, strike the Amundsen-Scott Station. The continuous period of darkness and dry atmosphere make the station an excellent place from which to make astronomical observations.
This file has the apron and characteristics of the airport the coordenates are placed as far south as FS allow it.

| Nord Noratlas Israeli Air Force (4X-FAP) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Nord 2501 Noratlas by Projet Noratlas in the colors of N2501IS 4X-FAP, the first of the Noratlas aircraft used by the Israeli Air Force. In the immediate post-war era France produced a plethora of prototype aircraft, nearly all of which vanished without trace. One of those that made good was the Nord 2500, a cargo transport with the same twin-boom configuration as the American C-119, with the cockpit in the nose of a capacious nacelle. Like the US type, the rear doors were of the left/right clamshell type, so for air-dropping heavy loads they had to be removed before takeoff, causing turbulence and high drag. Despite this, the more powerful 2501 proved an excellent aircraft, produced in large numbers in France and Germany in a programme that led directly to the Transall, produced by the same partners, designed in 1959 and flown in 1962.
Israel bought eight N.2501 IS direct from Nord in 1955-59, a further 12 from Germany in 1962, and four more later. The first, 4X-FAP, was delivered before the end of 1955, and immediately proved extremely popular and capable.
Eight Nords had been purchased and these were used extensively to re-supply IDF columns in Sinai. To assist with these re-supply efforts other Nords were made available from the French Air Force and were requisitioned from Israeli Airline EL-AL which used them as freight transports. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Projet Noratlas.

| B-24 USAAF 489th BG "Sharon D" |
|
File Description:
This Ford-built B-24H was assigned to Lt Col Leon Vance, deputy commander of the 489th BG. It was Vance who had brought the aircraft from the US to Halesworth. The bomber was named after its pilot’s infant daughter Sharon, who had been born in 1942. Lt Col Vance was flying a different aircraft on the 5 June 1944 mission against a German coastal defence complex near Wimereaux, France-a mission in which the latter aircraft was lost, and for which Vance was awarded the Medal of Honor. He was the only B-24 crew member in the Eighth Air Force accorded this distinction whilst flying a mission from the UK. Vance was heading home to recover from combat wounds when he went down on a C-54 Skymaster carrying wounded and crippled veterans over the North Atlantic on 26 July 1944. In October 1946, at the age of four, Sharon Vance travelled via US Army Air Forces transport to Enid, Oklahoma (now home of Vance Air Force Base), for a ceremony in which Maj Gen James P Hodges gave her the Medal of Honor awarded to her father. Today, daughter Sharon Kiernan of San Diego, California, is an Air Force wife, and she helps to keep alive the memory of her father, and of the bomber named after her. The Sharon D retained its nickname throughout the war, and was eventually transferred to the 445th BG. It survived the conflict, and was eventually broken up for scrap.

| Pan Am "Clipper Undaunted" L049 Constellation (N88855) |

File Description:
PAA Clipper Undaunted. N88855, Lockheed L-049 Constellation, Clipper Invincible, notes: C/n 2055, delivered to Pan Am on 22 April 1946. This Connie also carried the title Clipper Undaunted. TEXTURES ONLY. You need a legal copy of the WOS_L049 by A2A. "Pan American World Airways, known from its founding until 1950 as Pan American Airways[1] and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba, the airline became a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association.[3] Identified by its blue globe logo ("The Blue Meatball"), the use of the word "Clipper" in aircraft names and call signs, and the white pilot uniform caps, the airline was a cultural icon of the 20th century. In an era dominated by flag carriers that were wholly or majority government-owned, it was also the unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States. During most of the jet era, Pan Am's flagship terminal was the Worldport located at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City."(Source: Wikipedia)

| Complete Apollo 16 pack for Nassp v3.0 |
|
File Description:
This is a COMBINED Descartes Landing site and Descartes Enhancement Pack for the new NASSP (v3.0) and the new ORBITER (021202). It also includes Vinka's updated (for 021202) Generic Spacecraft DLL Module so that the "independent" Lunar EVA implementation would work. It also includes YesRushGen's Apollo 16 scenarios which depict the Apollo 16 mission in various stages during the mission.
Everything found in Descartes Landing Site and DEP add-ons are included, along with a new Lunar Rover that has both the CMDR and LMP on board when pressing "V" after the NASSP EVA key is pressed. However, due to an inexplicable bug, I decided not to include the detailed SIMBAY EVA astronaut mesh, because Orbiter kept on crashing whenever I perform EVA on BOTH the LM and the CSM.
Furthermore, although the LM now sports the bronze-like coloring of the J-Mission Advanced LMs (from inside the SIVB booster until separation of ascent stage), I had to remove the enhancements like the hanging MESA and the LRV from the Descent Stage because it caused inexplicable Orbiter crashes too. But I hope you like the new LM color which is now consistent during the course of the entire mission (in the DEP add-on, it was still aluminum/grey when docked to the CSM and only turned bronze when undocked).
Finally, I added a NAV/ADF beacon to the landing site, so that if you press SHIFT-C and tune to 109.10, then press SHIFT-L, your landing display will show your position with respect to the landing site, provided you are within 500 kilometers.

| Lockheed VC-121A Constellation 'Columbine II' |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Lockheed VC-121A Constellation 'Columbine II'.
The Lockheed C-121A Constellation is the military
transport version of the L-749A Constellation.
Delivered on 22 November 1948, this particular aircraft
was soon converted to VC-121A VIP-transport. From
November 1952 till November 1954 this was the personal
transport of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1952,
President Eisenhower was flying to Florida. The
Presidential plane was named 'Columbine II' (after the
official flower of Colorado, the First Lady’s home
state), but it was identified to flight controllers as
“Air Force 610” (from its tail number 48-610). However,
flying in the same general region was Eastern Airlines
Flight 610. The Eastern Airlines pilot overheard a
conversation between flight controllers and the
President’s plane, and for a moment thought the
references to flight “610” were meant for him. Although
nothing untoward happened, the government realized that
the confusion could have been tragic. Since then, any
Air Force aircraft with the President on board has been
referred to as “Air Force One.” Thus, the 'Columbine
II' was the first aircraft to be distinguished with
this designation, and she served President Eisenhower
for several years in this role.
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.
