Israel CVFR charts for FSM Moving Map

File Description:
The two charts included here cover northern and southern Israel and show the required waypoints and flight paths for Controlled VFR (CVFR). They are calibrated for use in FSM Moving Map (FSMMM) by Rana Hossain. Calibration was performed primarily using the marked intersections of latitude and longitude lines. I am not entirely satisfied with the results. In most places, the accuracy seems to be off by about one mile. I do not know if this is my fault, or simply a limitation of the original map.

Streamlined panel for Grumman Goose G-21

File Description:
This panel streamlines the cockpit and virtual cockpit (VC) views in Lynn and Bill Lyons' Grumman Goose G-21 (cc9g21f2.zip). Why mess with perfection, you might ask? I like the Goose a lot: it's elegant, versatile, and has great views for VFR sightseeing. But on my system, the virtual cockpit's a bit sluggish. There's nothing wrong here with the airplane: it's just what happens when you try to run a complex piece of software on old hardware. Rather than give up, I decided to reduce the number of gauge objects, first in the cockpit (which I don't use very much anyway) and then in the virtual cockpit (which is where you should be flying this great old bird anyway). I also eliminated some of the hotspots. With fewer gauge objects, there are more system resources left over for the sim. The result, on my system, is smoother flying. While I was at it, I also replaced the magnetic compass with a VOR gauge. I know that's unrealistic, but that's what I did.

Arado Ar-196

File Description:
The purpose of this package is to make the Alphasim Arado Ar-196, now freeware, usable in FSX. What needs to be done? First, we need to replace the gauges; the old ones don't work. I have done this for the virtual cockpit, but the 2D cockpit needs some work (which I am leaving to someone else). Second, we need to use some different sounds; the old ones don't exist in FSX. Third, we need a thumbnail image for the Aircraft selection menu. These three items are provided here: new panel.cfg, new sound.cfg, and a thumbnail. In addition, you'll also need the original package for FS2004 (ar196_fs9.zip) and a freeware gauge set by Hauke Keitel (kedigau_ud2.zip). Instructions for putting it all together are provided here in readme.txt.Also requires: 1. ar196_fs9.zip 2. kedigau_ud2.zip

No Cal Cloud Sheets

File Description:
This is a basic weather theme created using the SDK weather theme generator. It is based on real weather I encountered while flying near Ukiah, California in late October 2004. Hence the title "No Cal" for "Northern California." Cloud sheets are low, and under the clouds you will find rain. Above the cloud sheets you will find sun. The variety is fun, but the reason I'm uploading it is that it's very easy on framerates. Good for moody, atmospheric flights when the real weather doesn't suit you, or when the clouds are so menacing your framerates suffer. Hence the title "No Cal" for "No Calories."

Carrier Tracks Volumes 1 and 2

Images related to this file:

File Description: FSX Carrier Tracks Volumes 1 And 2. Volume 1 places Nimitz-class carrier models as moving AI boat traffic in Hawaii and four coastal locations, situated by Marine Corps and Naval air stations. Note: Volume 1 has been updated since the first release. If you have the original version, delete it; this one has everything you need. Volume 2 adds Nimitz-class carriers in more locations: near Naval air stations in the United States, around the Hawaiian islands of Kauai and Maui, and Tokyo Bay. It also includes two tracks for the French carrier "Clemenceau": one in the Mediterranean, the other in the Caribbean. For each track, a map is provided as well as a sample flight that starts on the carrier. Requires: freeware "USS Nimitz and Eisenhower" by Javier Fernandez, available here. Instructions for downloading the French "Clemenceau" are provided in the readme.
