| LIRF - Fiumicino Intl Airport, Rome, Italy |

File Description:
This is Ray Smith's FSX file. Ray has given me permission to modify his file for P3Dv4. This is a very accurate version of Fiumicino International Airport with two optional files, one file with the Crosswind runway activated and in full operation, where all 3 runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default airport runway operation. Runway 16C/34C is closed and now taxiway "D". Although 16C/34C is still used under certain visibility conditions P3Dv4 will only allow one or the other. Assigned parking as per their website with extra parking including gates for the A380. The new Terminal 3 expansion added. Gates/parking now numbered in the correct order. All ILS approaches, taxiways and taxi signs updated and corrected to the latest charts. Extra fuel trucks, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other scenery improvements and objects added.

| Minstrel Island CAX7 float base in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the third in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Minstrel Island is on the south side of Knight Inlet and 25 miles west of Knight Inlet Lodge (the previous post in this series). There is a resort on the island, though it is hidden from the air by the trees. Fuel and oil are both available at the dock, and there is a 17 feet tidal range, which would be interesting of it could be replicated in FS. The AI is an adaptation of that for CF36 and involves a GA Cessna, and a Seair Beaver flying from Campbell River to Knight Inlet Lodge via Minstrel Island. Again, because of large hills the landing of the AI may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not they fly into solid rock before landing. Take off and departure will take place. Ultimate Terrain Alaska/Canada would be a definite plus to get the water in the right shape and place. This scenery will not work without it.

| Rolls-Royce Merlin Sound Package |
|
File Description:
A few weeks ago at an airshow, I had the opportunity to get up close up to the Spitfire and get some recordings of that beautiful Rolls Royce Merlin engine. I have used some of these sounds for this sound pack and the result is absolutely amazing. Now I've got a spitfire which truly sounds like it should. This is a small file but don't be fooled, you'll love it, guaranteed! Obviously I don't know how a Spitfire sounds on the inside, so I've tried using FS9 default sounds along with some sounds downloaded from the internet and from a sound effects disk and wow, what a result. This file was created using the Alpha Spitfire as a test bed, so I'm not sure what it will be like in any other model. If you want to know what it sounds like, try putting these sounds into the Cessna 182S model as they run perfectly in that plane except it doesn't have retractable landing gear! I promise, you won't be disappointed!!

| Dutch Harbour PADU and St Paul PASN - UPDATES |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This has revised runway circulation for both Dutch Harbour (dutchplus.zip) and St Paul (st_paul.zip) to better reflect reality in helicopter and aircraft operation. It is not realistic for a helicopter to land, continue in a straight line along 6,000' of runway, turn at the far end, then taxi back along the same 6,000' to the aprons. Similarly, a Cessna does not need the same runway length as a 747.
This fix incorporates intermediate turnaround points to allow helicopters and small aircraft to turn around soon after slowing to taxi speed and to taxi back to the aprons at the end of the runway, instead of trudging along the whole length of the runway twice. There are some things that cannot be improved; a plane or helicopter will always taxi all the way from the aprons to the far end of the runway before turning and taking off, and a helicopter or light plane will not "land long" to minimise the taxi length.
The pictures show different turning points. There are also revised AI bgl's to provide better time separation between flights.

| Herb's Field C417 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Herb's is on the 417 between Ottawa and Montreal at the junction with highway 34, which is south of Hawkesbury. Herb's is a truckstop and a repair garage and a restaurant and a gas station, and is still (but only just!) an airfield. Which is to say there is still a runway, some 1,200 feet long and 30 feet wide. Do not go in your Cessna 172 as only the northern half is usable, and that after inspection from the air for any obstacles, parked cars, dogs, and similar obstacles. The southern half is the way in for trucks and cars, so make sure you can stop well before the ex-hangar which is now for truck repairs only. The planes all belonged to Herb's father, and even a casual inspection will reveal that they haven't moved for some time. If there is anything using the service road immediately to the north of the runway go around again, you won't be able to clear a vehicle and then land on the threshold.

| Alaska North Slope 4: Lonely Air Force Station (AK71) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Lonely Air Force Station AK71 is 80 miles east of Barrow and on the coast. It was, and at first sight appears still to be, a DEW station until you are close enough to see that the gravel apron is deteriorating. There is a gravel runway around 5,000 feet long, a large hangar, the DEW buildings, radar under the domes, the remains of huge line-of-sight communications reflectors, and oil tanks. Some DEW sites are not worth a visit; others are surprisingly intact and this is one of those. The AI takes place three days a week and is a C130, in which case the DEW site is still functioning or under mothball maintenance, a chartered Reeve Aleutian in which case the site is closed and they are documenting wildlife, and a Cessna with a group of the curious.

| Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX (OO-ARE) |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Spitfire Mk.IX by FlyingIron, in the colors of Spitfire LF IXc OO-ARE as it looked around 1960 when flying as a target tug with Cogea in Belgium. Originally NH238, it went to the Dutch Air Force in 1946, where it flew as H-60 and H-103. It went to the Belgian Air Force in 1952, becoming SM-36. It was sold to Cogea of Ostend in 1956, and was used as a target tug until 1961 with the registration OO-ARE. It was sold to the UK, becoming G-MKIX. It was damaged from a ground fuel explosion in Exter in 1961, but restored again. It went to the US in 1969, where it became N238V, returning to the UK again in 1979. It was last flown as NH238/D-A, but it was removed from the registry in 2002. It is rumored to be in storage at Greenham Common. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom.

| Beechcraft V35B Bonanza (VH-CAE) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Beechcraft V35 Bonanza in the colors of VH-CAE. From 1964, Australia's Departtment of Civil Aviation (DCA) purchased five current model Beechcraft Bonanzas - three V35s, an S35 and an A36 model. They were purchased at a cost of A$41,000 each, as part of a policy to operate modern production light aircraft.
VH-CAE (c/n D-8358) was the second of DCA's Bonanzas and was registered new on 15 June 1967. This VH-CAE was actually the second DCA aircraft to carry those marks, the previous being a Tiger Moth. Along with the other DCA Bonanzas, VH-CAE was sold. It was re-registered from the DCA to Leslie Carter of Glenbrook, NSW, on 12 June 1992. It later changed hands and spent some time in Coonabarabran, NSW, before moving in June 2007 to Mundaring, WA. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.
