| BeThere! |
|
File Description:
This package contains the BeThere! gauge. It lets you pause the flight simulator once the aircraft reaches a certain position.
This is useful for long range flights where the pilot wants to leave the flight sim unattended. The procedure is to either load an FS flightplan, switch the navigation mode of the autopilot to GPS and engage the autopilot. Or - with advanced aircraft add-ons - a flightplan is loaded into the FMC and the LNAV mode is set to let the aircraft automatically follow the track. Anyway, the problem is, that the pilot doesn't want to miss the top of descent. So the pilot has to check the computer regularily in order to be there when it becomes interesting again. Or, and that's the idea of this package, the flight sim is automatically paused at a safe position/distance.
Read more about this gauge, how to install and use it, in the readme.txt file included in the package.

| Deer Valley FC Resort & Roosevelt Lake |
|
File Description:
Deer Valley Resort at Roosevelt Lake Scenery. -
This is a fictious Resort at Roosevelt Lake by Grapevine AZ USA.
Its basically a fly-in resort for the Deer Valley Flying Club members to relax, do some fishing, go to the Amusement Park and have a general great time. But the resort is now open to the public. If you dont want to spend the big bucks, there is a small campground located nearby.
I suggest a float plane or helocopter for the trip out and back. If you're a competent bush pilot, you might be able to land on the grass runway, but its a very difficult strip. Fly a STOL plane or you wil not make it.

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.

| Canadian and Northern USA Winter Flying |
|
File Description:
This is an expanded version of a previous post a year ago, and stretches from east of Quebec City through Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba, and now also through Saskatchewan, and into Alberta (past Calgary). There is also a northern area roughly centered on Hudson Bay. The exact coverages are given in the notes. All rivers and lakes within the area will "freeze" and allow ski planes to land, or even wheeled planes come to that. And it is not permanent, when you want to go back to floats just "untick" it in the FS library, and it will melt. The area covered crosses into the US too, down to around 45 degrees north, so that means most of Montana, all of North Dakota, half of Minnesota, and some of Wisconsin, Michigan etc. It seemed silly to stop at the border. Ultimate Terrain is highly recommended, so that there will actually be the right lakes and rivers ready to freeze.

| DA Fokker 70 Panel Controller |
|
File Description:
After flying the DA Fokker 70 and 100 for a while, I realised that not all FS pilots would have access to a programmable joystick that would enable them to assign a button to operate the various pop-up panels in the Fokker, so I thought that a gauge mounted on the flight panel that centralised the controls for the pop-up windows may be a handy addition.
After adding the gauge you will be able to access the following pop-up panels using the mouse from one centralised position on both the Pilot Flying and First Officer the panels.
From left to right the pop-up panels are as follows..
Upper Row
Overhead Upper, Overhead Lower, Pedestal Forward. Pedestal Middle and Pedestal Rear...
Lower Row
Radio Stack, CDU, Doors and Ground Power, Secondary Annunciator Panel, Enlarged Left Hand MFDU
Also included are instructions on how to add the Groundhandling gauge by Rob Barendregt to the Doors and Ground Power panel of the Fokker.

| Beaver DHC-2 Avionics Upgrade for the 2D and VC Panels |
|
File Description:
Having spent significant amounts of time flying in the less-hospitable territories in the FS world such as Alaska and the Canadian Northern Territories, I've grown fond of the more rugged and capable aircraft which operate in these areas. The DHC-2 is the workhorse of the North. Granted, modern times have introduced aircraft with turbo-powered airframes and all sorts of electronic gadgetry to enhance airborne capabilities, but I cannot think of a single plane flying in these areas today which could fly safely with zero batteries and fuel.
The DHC-2 is a rock, and it was for this reason that I found it both fit and suitable to upgrade the already-included Bendix/King suite with a 2-axis autopilot, a fuel burn status gauge (worth its weight in gold in Alaska and Canada), and a red-light nighttime digital OAT gauge. REQUIRES THE AEROSOFT BEAVER DHC-2 FOR FS2004/FS9.

File Description:
FS 2004 SGA Royale Airlines DC-9-14 v2 N8962 DXT3 Textures./Textures only.Must have base pack (sga910.zip) already installed.
I have rebuilt this paint from scratch,so this is an all new version.Much better than the 1st version of this paint that I did back in 2005.
This version features light weathering effects,and other enhancements.
Royale Airlines was born in Shreveport,Louisiana in 1969.
Royale quickly expanded to serve other cities in Texas,Louisiana,and Mississippi.And also flew into Memphis,Tn. and Pensacola,Fl.
Royale operated 2 DC-9s between Houston (IAH) and Brownsville/South Padre Island,Tx (KBRO) for about a year.
Royale operated a variety of aircraft including Gulfstream G-1's ,Shorts 330's ,EMB-110 "Bandits" ,DHC-6 Twin Otters and Beech 99's.
Royale Airlines ceased operations in 1988. I will always remember Royale,for it was my very 1st job ,just out of High School.
As Always,Enjoy!

| Talkeetna Village AK44 in Alaska, home of Don Sheldon's Talkeetna Air Service |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Talkeetna is around 75 miles north of Anchorage in Alaska on the east shore of the Susitna River. The town is where Don Sheldon got off the train in 1938, and where, ten years later, he started Talkeetna Air Services. There are two airfields in Talkeetna, PATK with its long asphalt runway and Talkeetna Village AK44 in the middle of the town. This is AK44; the default FS version with Ultimate Terrain installed had the runway half in the river, but there is still space for the 900 feet of runway that is described in the book "Wager With The Wind" that tells Don's story. The result is a step back in time to 1973, when the second hangar was built. If you also want to install PATK do a search. I have partially populated the village with cabins, and UT is probably required for the river to be there; I haven't tested this without it.

| Paul Farm Field CF16 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Paul Field is on the south side of Highway 174, four miles east of Hawkesbury Windover Field and five miles west of the town of Hawkesbury; the town is on the south bank of the Ottawa River approximately midway between Ottawa and Montreal. I first saw the field when I was on the way to Windover a few years ago. I asked some old timers at Windover who the grass strip belonged to and they said "Paul". It may not be what Paul calls it, but it's the only name I know it by. Probably Paul doesn't call it anything, it's just the field where he keeps his plane. There is a grass runway approximately north-south and 2,000 feet long, and two hangars which look to be an old one and a new one. In real life the runway isn't so north-south as it lines up with the farm fields alignment which is of course in FS is auto-generated and not actuality-accurate.
