EICM Galway Airport, Ireland

File Description:
Ireland EICM Galway Airport. Galway airport is a small regional airport situated on the West coast of Ireland. The runway is 1289m(4230ft) in length and is therefore only suitable for GA and small jets. This scenery also includes EICA Connemara and the three airstrips of the Aran Islands, EIIM Inishmore, EIMN Inishmaan, and EIIR Inisheer. EICA Connemara plays host to the shortest scheduled airline service in the world, operated by Aer Arann, and appropriately using BN2 Islanders. In June of 1919, Alcock and Brown crashlanded their converted Vickers Vimy in a Connemara bog, having successfully completed the first non-stop transatlantic flight.

All the terminals and buildings are custom made and static aircraft add a sense of realism. The BGL files have been subdivided so the user can switch various elements of the scenery on or off according to preference. For added realism I have also added some sound effects, animations, people, grass, and rocks. Each airport has a complete set of night textures with wash lighting in the carparks and terminal areas.

The scenery has been primarily designed for VFR photographic scenery using 10m mesh, but will also work with the default terrain, although there are some variations with the default 38m mesh at Inishmore. All the five airports use objects from my Ireland Static object library, 3d aircrew and VFR trees. Full installation instructions are given in the Readme file. I hope you enjoy the scenery as much as I enjoyed making it.

Amsterdam Schiphol - EHAM Netherlands Package

File Description:
This Airport package is being released in conjunction with the release of the new ADE Design Utility (Airport Design Editor) to illustrate the power and design capabilities of both the current Home Version and the future Pro Version. The main airport in my ADE BGL is the Amsterdam Schiphol EHAM Airport. I also included into the single Airport Facility data bgl 5 additional airports which are Eindhoven AB (EHEH), Groningen Eelde (EHGG), Lelystad (EHLE), Maastricht-Aache (EHBK) and Rotterdam (EHRD) for you to explore. Major key changes are all 3 parallel runways are open with restrictions and are ATC controlled Arrival runways for both the User and AI Plane Traffic. Additional runways are also working simultaneously but some runways are closed for Arrival and/or Departure as per the ATC Preferential Runway System. All Gates and Parking Spots have been updated so AI Airline Planes, Maintenance, Cargo, Commuter, and Corporate GA park in the correct places. New Approach code including the 3 STAR's, Night RNAV's and all current Transitions have been rewitten and coded properly as seen in the GPS receiver per current Jeppesen Charts. Many Scenery features have also been added at each of the Airports which also includes the new H Terminal at EHAM. AI Planes fly the true RWY 24 VORDME curved approach from the PAM VOR and RWY 04/22 is a restricted runway that FSX ATC will only vector AI/User Planes that weigh less then 74000lbs EW to this active runway. Read the included Whats New Readme txt file for all the added enhancements.

Toulouse Blagnac (LFBO) v1

File Description:
This is an addon scenery for FSX of the Toulouse Blagnac Airport LFBO. It has been made using the excellent freeware tool Airport Design Editor for the layout. I have used Sketchup from Google and Model Converter X to design the buildings of the airport.

You will find all the terminals of LFBO and the control tower, as well as the Airbus facilities of the A380 Lagardere plant North East of LFBO, the A380 delivery center Henry Ziegler North West of LFBO, and some buildings of the Airbus facilities in Blagnac, West of LFBO. All buildings have photo textures, most of them taking with my camera, as I am working in the area. All buildings include night textures. You have two landing pads for helicopters like in reality South East of LFBO.

I used google earth for some items position, but the current view not being up to date, I used my knowledge of the area to correctly position the taxiways, parkings, gates and building position. I used the FSX generic buildings for the other missing buildings, however they have the size and position which corresponds as far as possible to the position of the real buildings. The surroundings of the airport not being too realistic with Ultimate Terrain X or with FSX, I have modified the landclass of the surroundings to make them look more in accordance with reality. I have changed the parking assignment to make sure that the usual traffic will park on the parkings E, F D AB, V and U.

RAF Church Fenton

File Description:
RAF Church Fenton (ICAO: EGXG) was an Royal Air Force station in North Yorkshire, near the village of Church Fenton. Plans for a new airfield adjacent to the village of Church Fenton were announced in June 1935, it was subject to protest from the local population particularly concerning the waste of valuable farming land and was close to an existing airfield not far away at Sherburn. Despite the protests construction started in early 1936 on the site, which was a mixture of private and West Riding County Council-owned farm land. On 1 April 1937, the station was declared open and on 19 April the first station commander Wing Commander W.E. Swann assumed command. Within two months No. 71 Squadron RAF had arrived with their Gloster Gladiators. Second World War Opened in 1937, the station saw the peak of its activity during the years of the Second World War, when it served within the defence network of fighter bases of the RAF providing protection for the Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Humberside industrial regions. During September 1940, it became home to the first RAF "Eagle squadron" of American volunteers being No. 71 Squadron RAF. The airfield was also home to both the first all-Canadian and all-Polish squadrons, with No. 242 Squadron RAF for the Canadians and No. 306 Squadron RAF for the Polish. As technologies evolved, the first night fighter Operational Training Unit (54 OTU) was formed at Church Fenton in 1940 and stayed until 1942. Some of the squadrons stationed there flew the famous de Havilland Mosquito. Source and more information can be found at :- http://military.wikia.com/wiki/RAF_Church_Fenton

RAF Burn

File Description:
The Station opened in 1942 before closing in 1946, it hosted No. 431 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force as part of 4 Group RAF Bomber Command which formed at the airfield on 13 November 1942 flying Vickers Wellington Mark X aircraft while at Burn. On 15 July 1943 the squadron was transferred to RAF Tholthorpe and became part of No. 6 Group RCAF. On 1 January 1944 No. 658 Squadron RAF moved to the airfield from RAF Clifton flying the Taylorcraft Auster III but left only seven days moving to RAF Doncaster but on 21 January 1944 the squadron returned, this time staying until 14 March 1944 when they moved to RAF Collyweston. The squadron was briefly joined on 31 December 1943 by 659 Squadron which moved to RAF Clifton the following day. During its use the airfield was also used by No. 10 Aircrew Holding Unit RAF. On 6 January 1944 No. 578 Squadron RAF squadron was relocated to RAF Burn from RAF Snaith. This Bomber Command squadron flew Handley Page Halifax Mk. III before disbanding on 15 April 1945 and the station was closed for flying operations in July 1945. On the night of 30 March 1944, Pilot Officer Cyril Joe Barton took off from RAF Burn in Halifax LK797 for a raid on Nuremberg, and won a posthumous Victoria Cross for valour. Shortly after flying was discontinued, the Royal Army Service Corps took over some facilities to store surplus equipment. ] Many of the buildings have been dismantled but all three runways remain intact and are used by Burn Gliding Club Ltd.

LIPZ - Venice Tessera Intl. Airport "Marco Polo"

File Description:
Afcad file of LIPZ (Venice Tessera "Marco Polo") airport for FSX default scenery. In order to make the scenery as close as possible to the real airport the layout is based on the newest Jeppesen parking chart of LIPZ, on the Aeronautical Information Publication Italy and on photos of the real airport. Main things that have been changed: - RWY 4L/22R has been converted into main taxiway (as it is in the real LIPZ); - runway strips and stopways have been added; - Precision Approach Path Indicators with 3° slope have been added on both sides of RWY 4R/22L; - according to ICAO documents, since RWY 4R/22L is a precision runway of the 3rd category the holding positions have been moved at 90 m and taxiways and apron links have been reduced to 23, 18 and 15 m; - the approach lighting system has been modified to look as close as possible like the real one; - parking codes have been added to match the latest airport timetable. Note: In real life nearly 100% of the departures from RWY 4R (which is the runway in use during day almost all days of the year - RWY 22L is in use during night when the wind's direction changes) use SIDs based on the CHI VOR which means that even the airlines which fly to north once airborn won't turn left but right and make half circle in order to head north. I tried to make the aircraft fly like the real ones assigning right hand pattern to RWY 4R but seems that it doesn't work - aircraft that fly to north, after takeoff will turn left instead of turning right and making half circle.

Consolidated PBY-5A (G-PBYA)

Images related to this file:

File Description: A repaint for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of G-PBYA, originally ordered for the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Canso A amphibian, basically equivalent to the US Navy PBY-5A. It was built by Canadian Vickers at Cartierville, Quebec and was allocated their constructors number CV-283 before adopting the RCAF serial 11005. It was taken on charge by the air force on 27 October 1943 and initially saw service with 9 (Bomber Reconnaissance) Squadron at Bella Bella on the British Columbia coast between Vancouver and Prince Rupert. It was on their inventory from November to the following August. 9 Squadron had been based at Bella Bella for some time prior to the arrival of Cansos, having operated Supermarine Stranraers there. The Cansos were mainly operated from water despite their amphibious undercarriages and were used on day and night patrols, looking out for enemy submarines. By mid-1944, the threat of a Japanese invasion of Western Canada had receded and it was decided to disband 9 Squadron and close the station at Bella Bella. The Cansos, including 11005, were flown to Alliford Bay in the Queen Charlotte Islands, also in British Columbia, and transferred to 7 (BR) Squadron in August. The job was the same – anti-submarine patrols mostly – and 11005 remained with 7 Sqn until it too was disbanded on 25 July 1945. After a post-war career as transport and waterbomber, it was acquired by Plane Sailing in 2004, restored and repainted as a OA-10A of the USAAF. It is based in Duxford. More info here: http://www.catalina.org.uk/. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Aerosoft.
