USAF Douglas VC-118 Independence

File Description:
USAF Douglas VC-118 INDEPENDENCE Tail-Nr. 46-0505, C/n 42881, of United States Air Force in colors of 1953 as preserved at United States Air Force Museum, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Dayton, Ohio, USA. USAAF officials ordered the 29th production DC-6 to be modified as a replacement for the aging VC-54C "Sacred Cow" Presidential aircraft and was nicknamed "Independence" for President Truman's hometown in Missouri. The VC-118 was formally commissioned into the AAF on July 4, 1947. Probably the plane's most historic flight occurred when it carried President Truman to Wake Island in October 1950 to discuss the Korean situation with Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Another essential "Air Force One" for all FS2002 propliner fans. A repaint of Tom Gibson's and Greg Pepper's great DC-6 by Hans Hermann, Virtual Birds Factory

Aerospatiale Concorde - Tribute Video

File Description:
It was with sadness that many of us said goodbye to Concorde on her final passenger flight in 2003. This video is a Flightsim tribute to her and the BA/Air France airline crews that flew her over the years. It was my original intention to include footage of the Air France Concorde in this video, but due to my final choice of music, it didn't seem appropriate, so I apologise to our French flightsim colleagues ! If you liked the CS707 video, you will love this one. It is a large, high-res file, but, frankly, anything less wouldn't do! The video captures all phases of flight, including real ATC footage recorded from the final Concorde flight with a farewell message from Mike Bannister. Recording, courtesy of Tony Smith. I am in no way affiliated to PSS - I just ebjoy their aircraft. Enjoy.

Surveyor Lunar Lander 1.0

File Description:
The Surveyor program consisted of seven unmanned lunar missions that were launched between May 1966 and January 1968. Five of these spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 successfully soft-landed on the lunar surface. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of lunar surface landings, the Surveyor missions obtained lunar and cislunar photographs and both scientific and technological information needed for the Apollo manned landing program. Four spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, and 6, returned data from selected mare sites from Apollo program support, and Surveyor 7 provided data from a contrasting rugged highland region. The Orbiter version brings to you the historical flight of this unmanned lunar landing probe. The flight plan should bring you within 10,000 km of the Lunar surface. With one mid course correction, and enough practice, you can land it the moon.

Beaver Panel 2005 Config

File Description:
This is a panel.cfg file for use with Jean-Pierre Langer and Arne Bartels Beaver panels based on photos by Larry Smith. It is made to be compatible with John L. Woodward's Beaver 2005 aircrafts that were recently released. This version enables the Photoreal 2D side views while still keeping the Virtual Cockpit. The 2D panel and side views are extremely photorealistic and excellent looking. I think you will really enjoy them if you are wanting a totally freeware DHC-2 Beaver. This is just a panel.cfg file and requires you to download the panel by Jean-Pierre Langer and Arne Bartels, and of course one or both of John's L. Woodward's Beavers. The panel is in the FS2002 Panels section of the Avsim library and the filename is bvr_pnls.zip. John's FS2004 aircrafts are filenames beaver_wheels_2005.zip and beaver_floats_2005.zip. Enjoy!

PMDG SIDSTARS Cycle 0607 Collection

File Description:
This is a collection of PMDG SIDSTAR procedures created by Terry Yingling and updated by Dan Downs. The collection includes all AIRAC Cycle 0607 Changed, Added or Deleted updates (source is online FAA NACO digital terminal procedures) effective 6Jul-3Aug. The collection includes the following locations (by ICAO): KABQ KAUS KBNA KBWI KDAL KDEN KGEG KHOU KLAS KLAX KMCO KMDW KOAK KPHL KPHX KSAN KSEA KSJC KSLC KSMF KSTL KTPA KTUS I have included procedures that were missing such that now each location has a procedure for each chart available from NACO. One interesting addition is a RNP procedure for KMDW. I have also updated my procedure turn algorithm, which was based on fixed speed execution, to a better fidelity tracking and turn arc using pseudofixes, which has been tested to perform well between 170-210KIAS.

SIDSTARS Ronald Reagan Washington National (KDCA)

File Description:
Procedures based on current (Cycle 0701) FAA Digital Terminal Information and published charts. I include ten departure routes (KDCA hasn't a published SID) for use in lieu of ATC vectors, which are based on FAA Preferred Routes and actual traffic. All (turbojet) STARs are included, and the primary ones have enumerations to provide routing to approach in lieu of ATC vectors. Approaches included ILS01, RNP19 and the Visual Charted Approach Procedures. This location is directly South of the Washington Monument, the Mall and the most restrictive airspace in the county. The lowest minima available for landing South is the RNP19 approach, which requires a 40 deg turn on short final at 500 MSL. I believe "National" is one of the most difficult locations to fly in and out of, needless to say, B737/A320 types only (no B747). For PMDG Only.

Tuskegee Airmen Baron 58

File Description:
DreamFleet's Baron 58 in livery honoring the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group. This pioneering group of African-American's overcame great racial prejudice and segregation to become one of the most famous fighter groups of World War II. To identify themselves they painted the tails of their aircraft red and became known as the "Red Tails". Among their many accomplishments, they never lost a bomber to enemy fighters; a record no other fighter group achieved. This repaint was made using the DreamFleet B58 RXP repaint template and the Dream Manager software. You must have the DreamFleet Baron 58 in order to use this file. Note: Users of the Lite version of the Baron should be able to use this repaint as well; the only difference will be your instrument panel rendition when viewed in the external view.

File Description:
This is a repaint (textures only) for the Donationware B-17G Late from FighterTown Design Group. You can get it here for a great price!! www.donationware.net Thank you FDG for providing this great plane!! Special thanks go to Jarink, who is a repainter in IL-2/PF. Jarink was kind enough to send me his layered photoshop files of the Noseart that I used for these repaints. I also used his repaints as a guide for my repaints. This texture represents "Big Gas Bird" one of the B-17G Flying Fortresses of the 385th Bomb Group, 8th Air Force.The B-17G started seeing action with the 385th in November, 1943 and continued until the end of the war. The Checkerboard group markings on the tail were adopted in February, 1945. "Big Gas Bird" crashed in Germany 1944-09-12

The Ohio State University Airport (KOSU)

File Description:
The Ohio State University Airport (OSU) is one of the leading general aviation facilities in the nation, providing educational opportunities to university students and aircraft services to many of central Ohio's pilots and businesses. The OSU Airport is home to 230 aircraft, including single- and multi-engine, piston and turbine engine aircraft and rotorcraft. The OSU Airport oversees an estimated 100,000 operations per year, including corporate activity, student training, and pleasure flying. By comparison, the OSU Airport generally ranks in the top five airports in Ohio in the number of take-offs and landings with Cleveland Hopkins, Port Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati Lunken. This file includes enhancements to KOSU taxiways and aprons, adds additional airport scenery/buildings, and increases the available parking from 15 ramps in the stock FSX airport to over 180+ ramps (based on actual airport parking).
