File Description:
Knight Inlet is a floating lodge that organises "nature experiences", ranging from close encounters with local grizzly bears to fishing. Knight Inlet is to the north of "the narrows" where the Inside Passage gets squeezed between the mainland and Vancouver Island, and there is a chart section attached with a pointer to the location. At the bottom of the chart is Campbell River floatbase, and to the west is Port Hardy. Knight Inlet initially runs east-west, and the lodge is tucked into a smaller north-south offshoot, close to where the main inlet turns north. The water runway here is in the middle of the north-south offshoot, though of course in reality the "runway" is wherever the wind dictates it to be. The names highlighted in green on the chart are float bases to be renovated and posted with working AI. The buoyed log boom next to the lodge is to keep escaped logs from drifting in and colliding with boats; float plane pilots keep their eyes peeled too. Because of large hills adjacent to the lodge the landing of the AI may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not they fly into rock before landing. Take off and departure are far more reliable, particularly if the wind is from the south. Most of the AI is from Vancouver Harbour, Harbour Air Otters and West Coast Air Beavers, plus a SeAir Beaver from Campbell River and a private Cessna from the nearby Minstrel Island. This is the second in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC (the first being Sproat Lake) and to cope with the AI demands FSAddon have authorised the inclusion here of a bunch of AI Otters and Beavers that were originally part of a payware scenery for the area. Thanks are due there.

| Silloth Aerodrome plus Great Orton |
|
File Description:
RAF Station Silloth is a former Royal Air Force station located 1 mile (1.6 km) north-east of Silloth, Cumbria, England and 6.7 miles (10.8 km) south-west of Kirkbride, Cumbria. The station was used by RAF Coastal Command during WW2.
I designed this scenery primarily for my own pleasure using Airport Design Editor and FSX SDK. I use FSX Acceleration and Horizon VFR photo scenery but it should work with standard FSX SP2.
This scenery depicts the airfield as closely as i can get it with the available information. I have modelled all of the Airfield buildings as closely as I could with the information available to me and this was done using Sketchup, the models were then converted for use in FSX using Model converter X.
It is not 100% accurate and no claim is being made by the author that it is. I have depicted the buildings in wartime camo.
All the buildings can be used as as you wish. My only request is that if you should design better textures for them that you let me have a copy, my textures are pretty basic.
Some buildings have night lighting, lights and smoke effects, these should be in your FSX effects files already.
I have not yet completed the Domestic Site but i may do this in the future...(I've hit the buffers for now though!!)
Included in this scenery pack is the Satellite Airfield RAF Great Orton. Built in 1943 to accommodate the larger bombers now being used by the RAF. This airfield is very sparse as i am unable to get much info about it.
Runways, Taxiways, Watch Office and Ground Signals are all that is included in this scenery pack, along with Sloped flattens, crosswind runways and AGN files.
I have included this as a destination for the Bristol Beaufort AI aircraft that i have included with the scenery.
The Bristol Beaufort AI is a freeware model from Alphasim and is used with their permission. I have altered the model textures and aircraft file and it works well enough as AI.
I have used other scenery libraries within this scenery (mainly to depict the village of Silloth) and these will need to be downloaded from the appropriate sources and activated within FSX.

| Display_Smoke_ Cntrl_ Gauge |
|
File Description:
This simple gauge is for the Alphasim T6 Harvard/Texan airplane (airplane package required), design to stop the 3 display smoke effects from coming on when the lights are first turned on from the spot view mode.
Since both the Harvard or Texan are not using the Taxi lights, this gauge works based on the state of the Taxi light bool. When you first turn on all lights via the "L" key from the keyboard, the on state of the Taxi lights in turn, turns off the 3 Display Smoke Switches, then after a 2 second delay the Taxi lights are reset to the off state again, ready for the next cycle of the keyboard "L" key.
Just want to reiterate, this is not a auto display smoke gauge in the sense, this is an invisible gauge (no visual references) that just stops the 3 display smoke switches from being turned on with the lights, so you don't get that big ball of colored smoke around the airplane when in "spot view" mode, and you turn the lights on via the "L" key on the keyboard.
Note: Has not been verified in FSX, but should work though!

| America West Airlines Boeing 757-200 'Arizona' |
|
File Description:
The historical Project Opensky or POSKY Boeing 757-200 has another paint to add to it's long list. This time it is that of the America West Arizona Special livery. This repaint is around 97% handpainted with a few photoreal elements added to ensure close to 100% accuracy and detail that is not commonly seen in the world of Flight Simulation. Nearly every pixel of these textures has either been modified or looked over in some way or form to assist in the detailing. The paint includes custom night textures, highly accurate textures that were compared to a long line of real photos of the aircraft, custom wing textures with fuselage reflection, dirt, shading and several other things that you would find on the other thousands of high quality paints available online. Paint and model have been tested with success in Flight Simulator X, however, it was mainly tested in Flight Simulator 2004 and I cannot guarantee the same results of throwing it into FSX. This is a complete package with model, virtual cockpit model, effects and virtual cockpit gauges so no other files should be required.

| On Mark A-26 Marksman |
|
File Description:
Utilizing the WWII A-26 airframe, the On Mark comapny of Van Nuys, California began converting Invaders to executive transports following WWII with their first examples designated the Marketeer. The epitome of comfort for the executive air traveller was found however in the further developed Marksman. The Marksman featured a significantly re-manufactured fuselage incorporating full pressurisation and a radical modification allowing a substantial increase in internal cabin space. All Marksmans featured the addition of wing tip fuel tanks as well as increased tail surface dimensions to compensate for the higher power engines offered in various models. Out of approximately sixty Invader airframes modified for civilian use by On Mark, only about a dozen were full Marksman conversions.
For all effects, gauges, and the excellent A-26 sound package by David Copley, the original SOH A-26 Invader is required to be installed before installation of this aircraft. Included in this package: model by Milton Shupe with Marksman modifications by John Terrell, textures by John Terrell, 2D panel and gauges by Rich Murray, flight dynamics by Jerry Beckwith and Tom Falley, pilot figures by Jan Visser.

| F-15 S/MTD |
|
File Description:
This is my second release for the FS community.
The F-15 S/MTD is a STOL variant of the all-weather tactical
fighter F-15 Eagle. While S/MTD stands for Short take off and landing
/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator, the actual plane has F-18's elevators
as canard wings and a two-dimensional thrust vectoring, which gives the
aircraft an exceptionnal maneuvrability. Developed as a technology
demonstrator, the F-15 S/MTD carried out research for studying the
effects of vectored thrust and enhanced maneuverability. The NASA has
modified an F-15 Eagle by adding canard wings and by replacing the
original engines nozzles by two Pratt & Whitney P/YBBN 20 Degree
two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles. The F-15 S/MTD can also
perform the famous "Pugachev's Cobra" maneuver. The same aircraft would
later be used for the F-15 ACTIVE (with three-dimensional vectored
thrust) and for the F-15 IFCS (with three-dimensional vectored thrust
and with improved avionic). Features all the basic animations
(retractable landing gear, steering wheel, working suspension, working
surfaces plus thrust vectoring nozzles and moving engines inlets) and
afterburner. Sorry, no VC.
Model made in Gmax by Thomas Lebel.
