| Ocean Stations Scenery |
|
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 ship on station (painted in the colors of the USA, UK, France, Norway, and Japan), 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 AI ships and is NOT COMPATIBLE with multiplayer - use OceanStationsMP.zip instead

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.

File Description:
Exploring Our World - Part 1. Canaima Park - Canaima Airport (SCVN) - Angel Falls, Venezuela. Visit the worlds highest waterfall (16 times higher than Niagara) - one of the Natural Wonders of the World!
This new package features David Maldonado's excellent Mesh of Canaima Park in Venezuela and a very special "animated" depiction of Angel Falls by Ron Jeffers. The Canaima Airport has been enhanced using EZ Scenery libraries. There is also an optional Lago sound file created by Lou Frost. A brief history of Angel Falls along with a suggested tour of the area is included. You will also find a flight plan for use with the FSNavigator program. This is the first of a projected series exploring lesser known parts of our FS world. Please unzip (using folders option) to a temporary folder and follow the instructions very carefully.
This project was compiled for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

| 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.

| USAF Douglas SC-54 Rescuemaster Version 1.1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a US Air Force SC-54 in the colors of the Military Air Transport Service. This aircraft was used in search and rescue operations and wears the day glo colors typical of air force transports of the period. MATS was a joint service transportation operation combining resources from the Air Force, Army and US Navy into a single coordinated airlift command serving all military branches.
The updated repaint is highly accurate with the exception of the fact that the real aircraft had large blister windows on both sides of the fuselage. I tried creating these with artwork, but its going to take a MDL change to fix! Maybe Jens will be able to address one day!
This skin requires the Jens B. Kristensen JBK DC-4 file (dc4_v21.zip) AND the C-54 cargo version (dc4cgv21.zip). These files may be found on this and other popular FS web sites. You MUST have the cargo version installed.

| RwyInfo 2 Data Update |
|
File Description:
The purpose of this download is to allow you to update the data used by Ernie Alston's Runway Info gauge (RwyInfo version 2.0, available from http://www.fsbuild.com/rwyinfo/). This is an excellent little gauge that allows you to retrieve, through a gauge on your panel, information for all the runways at an airport (selected by ICAO code), and optionally automatically load frequency and course for an ILS into your NAV1 radio and MCP. However the usefulness of the gauge is somewhat restricted by the fact that it comes with a text database of 'info' to be displayed, and does not include any method for updating this info, other than by going into the text file and typing changes yourself (carefully, character by character). This is not really a practical method of getting the data to match your current FS configuration. What I have done is created a little utility that will create a new text database for the RwyInfo 2 gauge, based on your current scenery configuration.

File Description:
NASA TU-144LL: TU-144D aircraft (CCCP-77114) converted to a flying laboratory for NASA with four Kuznetsov NK-321 afterburning turbofan engines and re-registered RA-77114. The aircraft underwent many upgrades and modifications in its conversion to the "LL" Flying Laboratory, including the installation of more powerful NK-321 augmented-turbofan engines that were originally produced for the Tupolev TU-160 Blackjack bomber. NASA successfully used this aircraft to help in designing the U.S. Space Shuttle. She is no longer flying, nor are any other Soviet versions other than the TU-160. This model represents the maximum test payload and fuel for test flights, and includes real world engine/aero dynamics provided by NASA and further employed in this converted model (cosmetics are original). Study the Readme.txt file before flying this version. Model/Textures: Thomas Ruth. Sounds: Claudio Mussner. Panel: Philippe Wallaert. Aero/Engine Dynamic Corrections by: Douglas E. Trapp, FS Flight Dynamics Engineer, [email protected]. August 2017.
