| Get Tower View V1.1 |
|
File Description:
After landing it would be fine to have an external view (like the tower view) available for the instant replay function.
Unfortunately Microsoft FS leaves the tower where it is after starting the flight and it is a nasty job to locate the tower somewhere in the map view and move it to the desired position.
GetTowerView is a simple tool to adjust the tower view relative to the current aircraft position after landing.
It uses the freeware tool FDSConnection by Flight Deck Software (www.flightdecksoftware.com) (included) and the Delphi-SDK for FDSConnection by Alan Chan ([email protected]).
FDSConnection.PDF is also inluded.
The program was tested with FS2004 but may also work with FS2002.
New features of version 1.1:
- Added storage of custom tower view positions after landing in a drop-down list.
- Fixed bug: Current settings were not stored in version 1.0, when shut down via FSUIPC.

| ResampleTools V.095Beta |
|
File Description:
ResampleTools is a great little utility that helps you automate the import of Mesh or Photo Real scenery into
Flight Simulator 200x. The interface is a simple 4 or 6 step wizard depending
on what you are importing and the information you have about your source files.
FS Resample Tools can help you determine the extents of your bitmap source if
you don't already know them (all four corners in degrees) and will also
determine the CellX and CellY sample or pixel width from those corner extents among others.
This is a beta version and there will be no more updates as work on this tool stoped a while ago but the author has been kind enough to allow distribution to all who might enjoy using it,(note: this may have been replaced by Elronds "imagetool" also available soon in this library).
Works with FS2000/FS2002 and FS2004.

| ILS and GPS Approach Creator v1.0 for FS9 and FSX |
|
File Description:
This easy-to-use program allows the user to add an ILS and/or a GPS approach to any airport in FS9 or FSX. The user will be able to select the approach in the GPS unit, and request the approach from ATC. The ATC will then vector you to make an ILS or GPS approach. The AI will also be able to use the ILS approach, and you will hear them say so over the radio. The program was designed with the non-expert user in mind, and no familiarity with XML coding is assumed. The program supports up to four FS installations. The program needs to be run in conjunction with AFCAD (or a similar utility for FSX). You will also need the .NET Framework 2.0 and MSXML 4.0 installed on your computer. Tested with XP Home and Pro. Full instructions included.

| Cleveland-Hopkins Intl |
|
File Description:
A high quality AFCAD2 file the Cleveland-Hopkins Intl (KCLE) scenery by Shehryar Ansari. Features assigned gates for all airlines that currently serve CLE. A tower view is provided for the airport and two runways are in use to maximize traffic flow. Runway 6L/24R for takeoffs, runway 6R/24L for landings. Runway 6C/24C is also included as it is still used in real life (now used as a taxiway). An AFCAD parking code for Independence Air, who also serve CLE, is included in this file to add to your 'ParkingSpecs' document. A total of 112 parking positions are now available at this airport, comprising 26 gates for regional jets, 42 gates for mainline aircraft, 9 Cargo Ramps and 35 GA ramps. Requires the excellent cle2003.zip and cle2004u.zip scenery addon by Shehryar Ansari. This file is NOT recommended to be used with the default FS airport.

| The Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River, Zambia/Zimbabwe |
|
File Description:
One of the main landmarks of Africa, the spectacular Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River are missing in out-of-the-box FS. With a local SRTM LOD9 mesh as a base (included) and the help of satellite imagery, maps, Ground2K4, and GMax, we did our best to model a realistic representation of the falls, the river, and the gorge, complete with custom waterfall and spray effects. The portion of the Zambezi covered in this project extends from E25 to E26.5 (more than 100km), with the falls at its center. Also included is a replacement landclass file for an area of about 20km on either side of the Zambezi River and an optional AI boat (by Lynn and Bill Lyons) cruising on the Zambezi above the falls. Tested with FS2004 only but most scenery enhancements (not the AI boat) should work just as well in FS2002.

| Avro Lancaster Sound Package |
|
File Description:
This is a complete sound package created specifically for the four engined Avro Lancaster with Rolls-Royce Merlin engines (but will work with any other four engined prop aircraft). This package has been designed so that each engine sounds slightly different, along with their own individual startup and shutdown sounds thus giving them their own character. The result being a loud and very rich sound as they all work together. You could say that this is four sound files in one!.
Parts of this package have been taken from "free to use" FS sound files plus some from FS9 itself which have been blended together to get the best engine sound possible. If you've got a pair of headphones or big speakers on your system, then you're in for a treat. I also recommend downloading my panel (lncpnlv2.zip) from FS2004 Panels, and Dave Garwood's Avro Lancaster to complete the set.

| Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 v2.2 Final Package |
|
File Description:
**** THIS FILE SUPERCEEDS MY ORIGINAL FILE b737_700_southwest_v21.zip **** v2.2 - REPORTED BUGS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. The 737 was born out of Boeing's need to field a competitor in the short-range, small capacity jetliner market which had been opened up by the BAC 1-11 and the Douglas DC-9. Boeing was badly behind however when the 737 program was initiated in 1964, as both of these rivals were already into their flight certification programmes. The 737 was cheaper and quicker to design, featuring six-abreast seating compared to the 1-11 and DC-9's five-abreast layout.By the 1990s, the 737 had lost ground technologically to the newer Airbus A320. In 1993, Boeing initiated the 737-X or Next Generation (NG) program. The Next-Generation 737 encompasses the -600, -700, -800 and -900, and amounted to a complete redesign of the 30-year old airliner. The 737NG is an entirely new aircraft, sharing very little with previous 737s, other than fuselage frames. New wings, new avionics and revised engines were the biggest engineering changes. The 737 was given a glass cockpit with CRT screens (except the -900, which had newer and higher tech LCD screens) and digital systems inspired by the ones that were used on the 777. The parts count is down by about 33%, reducing weight and simplifying maintenance. Additional changes since its introduction include a new interior and performance enhancing winglets which reduce fuel consumption and improve take-off and climb performance. All textures have been modified in DXT-3 format for crisp visuals without comprimising frame rates. Includes the default FS-X Boeing 737 panel. Sounds have been defaulted to the FS-X 737-800, however I recommend the excellent 737 CFM56 "the real deal" version 2 soundpack (file name:737_cfm56__the_real_deal_version_2.zip located at AVSIM.com) for this aircraft series. Additionally, this aircraft series has no Virtual Cockpit (VC), therefore you must fly them using the 2-D default panel view only! This package includes Southwest Airlines liveries (Canyon Blue, Maryland One, Nevada One, Old Color & Shamu).

| PS Panels 737NG |
|
File Description:
Built completely from scratch, the PS Panels 737NG incorperates a high level of realism whilst still allowing the virtual pilot to use important FS features such as the flight planner and ATC systems.
Authentic NG EHSI
The PS Panels 737NG incorporates a high definition EHSI display including all the modes as per the real aircraft.
Approach, VOR, Map and Plan modes are all modelled (APP, VOR and Map in both Expanded and Standard modes).
The authentic and fully animated EHSI control panel allows the virtual pilot to set the display to his preference.
The PS Panels 737NG interfaces completely with the FS Flight Planner, you're flight plan will be automatically displayed in both the Plan and Map modes.
Extensive Overhead
The PS Panels 737NG incorporates a custom overhead panel to control the many modelled aircraft systems.
Based on the real NG Overhead panel with a slightly altered layout that allows the virtual pilot to continue to monitor his key instruments whilst managing the Fuel, Electrical, Hydraulic, Lighting and Pnuematic systems controlled through the panel.
Careful attention combined with detailed research has allowed us to model these systems to a high degree of accuracy.
Complete Radio Stack
The panel comes with an authentic 737NG radio stack, accurate down to the last details.
IRS System
The PS Panels 737NG models the operation of the aircrafts IRS. Unless proper alignment is completed through the IRS panel, many features of the aircraft's displays will be INOP.
Custom Throttle Panel
The panel comes with a custom throttle panel accurate to that on the real aircraft.
Advanced 2-stage Night Lighting
A first for PS Panels, the 737NG contains two stage night lighting allowing the virtual pilot to choose between two levels of cockpit lighting on the fly.
The main panel and all subpanels are lit using the same schemes.
Thanks to Yoo Sang Jun for his work on this.

| SKMD Medellin/Enrique Olaya Herrera, Colombia |
|
File Description:
Googly scenery for Medellin/Enrique Olaya Herrera (ICAO: SKMD, IATA: EOH). This
centrally located airport, named after the 1930 president of Colombia, was once
the only airport for the city of Medellin but most international flights are now
concentrated on the new international airport inconveniently situated 24 miles
away. Nevertheless the airport is very busy with domestic, charter and private
traffic and is regularly served by scheduled services of AerolĂnea de Antioquia,
AIRES, Easyfly and SATENA. There are many charter operators based or serving
serving this airport, including Aexpa, Heliandes, Sarpa, Helicol and TAC; these
are mostly smaller aircraft or helicopter operations.
Remarkably for such an important airport, Microsoft have only provided a runway
at this airport in Flight Simulator 2004 and this scenery seeks to redress the
situation so that you and your "AI" traffic can use the airport realistically.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high quality
satellite imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the
added airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look exactly like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.

File Description:
Thank you for downloading my first flightplan set in well over two years. While I'm not entirely satisfied with the results of this effort, enough changes in destinations, liveries, and aircraft numbers should be sufficient for those seeking an update to the two year old plans currently available.
The schedule used in the compilation of this flightplan set came directly from Jetblue's desktop schedule. Note: These flightplans do not include any of the charter flights Jetblue is well known for but do include the new routes and frequencies to Jamaica and elsewhere. For painters, here is an opportunity to work on the new Jetblue livery, Blueberries; three of which are currently in the JBU fleet.
JetBlue Airways is an American low-cost airline owned by JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ: JBLU). The company is headquartered in the Forest Hills neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens.[2] Its main base is John F. Kennedy International Airport, also in Queens. In 2001, JetBlue began a focus city operation at Long Beach Airport in Long Beach, California, and another at Boston's Logan International Airport, in 2004. It also has focus city operations at Fort Lauderdale, Washington-Dulles and Orlando International Airport. The airline mainly serves destinations in the United States, along with flights to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and Mexico.
