Wake Effect for Static Ships - Clarification

File Description:
Wake Effect for Static Ships - Clarification. Some users have repported that they are unable to compile their properly written xml files into a bgl using bglcomp.exe. This clarification provides a link to the Microsoft Parser program which is required for bglcomp to work. I incorrectly assumed everyone would already have the parser (msxml) installed on their computers. There is also a recommendation for a handy little utility to be used with bglcomp. It shows any errors which may occur during compilation (such as a missing parser program) and that makes it much easier to solve non-compiling problems. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience my oversight may have caused.

File Description: Tips and Tricks - 24 - The FINAL issue. Issue number 24 officially brings to an end the Tips and Tricks for FS2004 series. This issue is packed with some useful tips and how-to's, valuable web-site links and much, much more. The "From the E-mail bag" segment explores several ways to recover disk space and there is a special interview with a prolific author of FS scenery. You will also find a Bonus File which will make the startup of a reviewed aircraft considerably easier. Look for a special Holiday recommendation (for kids of all ages). I have even thrown in a bit of Aviation humor. An updated index for the entire series (by John Burford) is also included. Hopefully you will find something of use, be you a "newbie" or a long time simmer. Please unzip (using folders option) to a temporary folder. Compiled in pdf format for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

File Description:
KEUG - Mahlon Sweet Field - Eugene, Oregon. Eugene, home of University of Oregon, is located at the South end of the Willamette Valley, at the confluence of the McKenzie and Willamette rivers, about 60 miles (100 km) East of the Oregon Coast.

All required files and textures are included. This enhancement is designed to work with the default FS2004 scenery and is offered as a basis for further enhancement.

Audio-Visual Player for your Kneeboard

File Description:
An Audio-Visual enhancement for the Kneeboard of ANY aircraft. Ever wonder what the pilots are doing on those long flights while the passengers are watching a movie? Perhaps they too are watching their favorite flic. This simple enhancement will allow you to watch movies in several formats (AVI WMV MPG) or listen to music in several formats (MP3 WAV and WMA) - on the kneeboard of any aircraft. This application does not replace any of the normal kneeboard references but simply adds an audio-visual option. The code necessary to do this was originally written by Tim Pinkawa and has been slightly modified by David "Opa" Marshall for your flying enjoyment. Please unzip to a temporary folder and follow the very simple installation instructions.

The technique is based upon investigations and information developed by Jim Vile and Reggie Fields. Tested in FS2004 only. Please unzip to a temporary folder and read the directions carefully.

Albany, New York Bridge Fix for default FS2004 scenery.

File Description:
Albany, New York Bridge Fix. While flying around the Albany, NY area the other day, I came across a bridge "mess" which you can see in Screenshot 1. It looks as if several bridges collapsed at the same location. This package provides two files; one which will exclude the "mess" and another one which provides a new, default bridge at that location. Note: The bridge problem is seen only in the default FS2004 scenery - if you are using Ultimate Terrain, you do not need this correction. Please unzip to a temporary folder and follow the very easy instructions. Compiled for your flying (and driving) enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.
