| Traffic View Board Version 2.1 |
|
File Description:
Traffic View Board is a new AI view gauge file that will give you an overview of the AI traffic without the need of external programs. This package works like a regular user aircraft and must be installed in the FS "Aircraft" folder. Instead of a regular aircraft model, this model is invisible, and the regular panel is replaced with a traffic board (similar to those found at any airport). When powered on you may choose between "Arrival", "Departure", "In flight" and "On ground". Each flight in the traffic board list represents an AI aircraft in FS2004. By clicking on a flight form the list, that particular aircraft is selected. When activating the "Follow aircraft" button the user aircraft are mapped to the AI aircraft position. This little trick allows you to spot that AI aircraft from any view in FS2004. FS2004 is still "looking" towards the user aircraft, but as the user aircraft are mapped to the AI aircraft FS2004 is "looking" towards the AI aircraft as well.

| Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class |

File Description:
Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class
Land classification, or land class (NOT "landclass"), is how Flight Simulator depicts the ground textures. For much of the FS world, the ground is not representative of the real thing, however. There have been complaints because of this from those who do not understand the cause of the problem.
This document explains the basic concepts behind the land class system, why it is inevitably inaccurate for most of the world, and the very easy-to-use tools with which to fix this.
Also includes instructions for modifying water class.
This is an html document for universal compatibility.
You do not have to be a computer programmer in order to change the land class. Anyone can do it quickly and easily.
So, why complain about it? Do something!
Very sorry - no support of any kind is offered for this document. Please consult the AvSim Scenery Design forum for any questions.

| VTOL/Hover gauge for Adam Preece' GR7 Harrier, V1.1 |
|
File Description:
If you use the previous version (RCBhcb10.zip): this version corrects a problem where the gauge gave problems when transitioning from hover to normal flight if you had loaded the aircraft in SpotPlane view. Plus some minor improvements.
See README for upgrade instructions.
This freeware gauge adds a whole new flightmodel and new VTOL & Hover featuresto Adam Preece' freeware Harrier.
Besides true vertical takeoff&landing, it allows you to fly forward, backward, sideways and turn, while in a hover.
This solution is based on overriding the normal FS flightdynamics while in a
hover, simular to the implementation of catapult launch / cable arrest in my
Carrier Operation Package; in short, it's a VTOL&Hover FDE coded in a gauge.
Special thanks to Doug Dawson, who created a gauge that provides for overriding FS2004 variables from an XML gauge.
Besides a VTOL controller, it also contains an effects controller plus visual
effects, for things like wingtip vortex, directional engine smoke and a cannon.
Requires FSUIPC (registered or unregistered).
The README includes extensive installation and flying instructions.

| Wynoochee Lake WA - (Bob's Fly-in Cabin) |
|
File Description:
Wynoochee Lake WA (Bob's Fishing Cabin) - Airport ID: BOB (FSX). - -
This is a fictitious fly-in lodge that I created for a quiet spot to fly into for weekend trips from the Seattle area. My cabin is located about 40 miles due south of Port Angeles, WA and about 50 miles due west of Seattle. - -
Wynoochee Lake is a real location, but my scenery around the lake is fictitious. - -
You will find my dirt airstrip to be quite challenging, although completely fly-able. My location is even more challenging at dawn or dusk with Weather. There are no approach lights, its just a rugged bush strip. - -
It is extra challenging with crash detection turned on - watch out for those birds, they're everywhere and that old tree just of the side of the dirt strip - don't get too close! - -
This is freeware. I hope you enjoy it. - -
Designed with the FS X Sdk Scenery function of the Mission builder,Abacus Scenery shortcut tool and Lee Swordy's AFCAD. - -
This scenery is frame rate friendly. - - Please read the "readme" - -

| Microlights- Vol.2 |
|
File Description:
Three more low-polygon count models for AI use in F2004, all tail-draggers, one based on the AirBike, with two seats, the second based on the Weedhopper, the third based on the Affordaplane. I've only included one or two texture sets for each aircraft, but I have included basic repaint templates for the Airbike and the Weedhopper, so you can generate a multitude of brightly-coloured aircraft to your own taste in a few minutes.
Each model includes three LOD models and a reduced-detail shadow model, for improved visual performance, and to this end I have also included updated models for my previous "Microlights for AI" upload (required for the textures if you want these aircraft). Although the model file size will be bigger, because FS only loads the LOD model it requires for the given range of the aircraft, once the aircraft is more than a few hundred feet away from the viewpoint, it will affect the frame-rate less than the originals.
Please see the enclosed text file for further details.

| TweakFS Zip Utility |
|
File Description:
The TweakFS Zip Utility is a useful tool for unpacking Zip files downloaded from FS file libraries without the need for an existing 3rd-party Zip application. It is "FS2004 aware" and can automatically detect the FS9 folder location. Due to this feature it has several handy folder location presets which makes it quick and easy to install aircraft, scenery and other addons which come in Zip files that include folder path information. It has a small file size when zipped (about 760 KB) and can be freely distributed by freeware/commercial developers to help users install their files. The Create Zip tab also supports Zip Comments for adding any other information such as copyright notices. Features: Create and Extract Zips (no 3rd-part Zip program required), drag and Drop Zip file creation, graphical view of the folder structure within a Zip file, extracts to any select location or to special preset folders in FS9, compress and Extract with/without folder structure, add comments to Zip files, graphical Zip/Unzip progress meters, warns if the FS9 registry path is incorrect.

| TerraVue: Moving Map, Ground Proximity, Information pages |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: TerraVue. This gauge contains a moving map display with a terrain elevation legend color-keyed to the FS9 map. The legend allows the elevation of terrain lying ahead of the aircraft to be taken into account. TerraVue can display the FS map in seven ranges from 4 NM to 160 NM. The Map mode also employs animation to show the proximity between the aircraft and ground in a graphical and digital display with indicators showing whether the distance is increasing or decreasing. The gauge can be switched to the Information mode which will display up to four individual pages of data that is created by you. These scrollable pages may contain checklists, airport diagrams, approach plates, strip charts, etc. Fully functional, free software to help quickly construct these pages is included along with an illustrated tutorial that demonstrates the simple copy/paste process that tailors these pages to include whatever data you wish. For panel or separate window installation with TerraVue Icon gauge. By Glenn Copeland

| Spanish army and air force textures for aerospatiale superpuma |
|
File Description:
Spanish textures for the Eurocopter AS-332C1 Super Puma. Compatible with FS2002 and FS 2004.
Original helicopter model made by Dirk Fassbender [email protected].
Panel design and flight dynamics by Nick Karatzides [email protected] or [email protected].
Super puma serves in the Spanish Ejército de Tierra (land forces) and in the Spanish Air Force. Four paintschemes are included in this pack: normal low visibility grey for the Spanish Airforce 802 y 803 squadrons, the same scheme with ISAF markings (Afghanistan international troops, Herat base), and green and camo schemes for the FAMET (Fuerzas Aeromóviles del Ejército de Tierra).
You need to have the model with the panel and flight dynamics from avsim (available as as-332c1_haf_v1).
Just drop the folders in the texture folder and overwrite the aircraft config file. Remember to make a
backup copy of your previous aircraft file.
This is freeware. It is strictly forbidden the use of the model or textures as payware, and also to post it
in FSplanet.
All suggestion are welcome.

| Ocean Stations for Multiplayer Use |
|
File Description:
I've produced this scenery to provide all of the Ocean Stations I know about in the 1950's and 1960's. There is a Coast Guard ship on station (painted in the colors of the USA), an NDB to give you a bearing to the ship, a way to contact the ship using voice (you can get your position relative to the ship this way), and a DME for distances further than the limited 30 NM FS ATC gives you (normal communications would reach about 100 NM). You can also get a weather report, and if you are a seaplane you can be cleared to land. If you are a landplane, I guess this would constitute permission to ditch...
I want to give a big thank you to Mitsuya Hamaguchi (hama) for graciously supplying the ship used in this scenery.
This version uses scenery ships, which will not disappear in multiplayer. There is only a US ship, however. For the AI ship version (with ships of several countries) download OceanStations.zip instead.
