File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV by Real Air. It shows Spitfire Mk.XIV RM656 DL-F, which was the aircraft that Captain Jean Maridor, of the Free French Air Force, was flying on the 3rd of August 1944, when he was killed while destroying a V1. Jean Maridor was born in Le Havre, France on the 24 November, 1920. He became interested in flying at a young age. He stopped his studies to focus of this new interest. Maridor began to take many courses in flying. He obtained his pilot's licence at 16, making him the youngest pilot in France. In 1939, he joined the French Air Force and received his pilot's wings in september 1939, continiuing his training on the Dewoitine D520. He joined a squadron just two days before the French Surrender, only to receive the order to burn his aircraft. After the French surrender, Maridor left to go to England with many other French pilots, where he joined the R.A.F. After training, he began flying with the 615 Squadron on Hurricanes. He scored his first kill on the 14th of October 1941. In february 1942, he transferrd to 91 squadron, flying Spitfires, where he scored a further 8 kills, one of which was Lt Paul Galland, the brother of Adolf Galland, in october 1942.
From june 1944, 91 squadron flew the Spitfire mk XIV and specialised in shooting down the V1's that the Germans started sending over to the UK. Capt Maridor was succesful at this too, shooting down 6 of the Doodlebugs before his final flight on the 3rd of August 1944.
On this day, Maridor intercepted a Doodlebug over Rolvenden around 12:33. Flying towards the bomb, he shot at it at 12:39. Although he hit it, the bomb was only damaged not destroyed. On his second attack, he saw the bomb was heading for Benenden School, which at the time was being used as a military hospital. Knowing that hundreds of lives would be lost if the bomb was to hit, Maridor launched a final attack at 12.43. He approached to less than 50 metres to ensure he would not miss a second time. The Doodlebug exploded this time, but the wing of his plane was caught in the explosion and ripped from the body. The plane crashed beside the lake on the school grounds, killing Maridor just 8 days before his wedding. His fiancée has been quoted as saying he would not have hesitated in his attack on the bomb. He knew that many lives would have been lost otherwise.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A/Aircraft Hangar He-219 for FSX in the colors of R2+DH, an aircraft that plays a major role in a series of comics by Yann and Romain Hugault, called 'Le Grand Duc' in French. Its pilot in the story is a fervent anti-nazi, who flies without swastika's on his tailplanes, so these are not included. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by A2A.

| Maupiti (NTTP) |
|
File Description:
An AFCAD2 File for Maupiti, French Polynesia (NTTP). In an effort to make this airport more interesting to fly into, the runway has been moved slightly north & east, which gives the 'St Maarten' effect if your landing on rwy 08. A taxiway has been added, and also a gate for the Air Tahiti ATR's that serve the airport. This file is for the Maupiti scenery by Bill Melichar and has not been tested with the default scenery.

| Airstrips of Eastern France |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Next in my ongoing "Airstrips of Western Europe" project for FS2004, herewith about 100 sceneries of small, mostly default airfields in the eastern section of France, each enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces and aprons as appropriate, to further facilitate the generation of lightweight AI traffic in the area without overloading the more major airfields. When combined with the French airstrips from my previous uploads, the majority of the default small French airstrips in FS2004 will be able to generate AI traffic, should you so wish, as well as putting a little basic detail into the countryside.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.

This new panel version (v3.05) provides many new features to the version V2 of the aircraft: New fuel system management gauge like the real Airbus, full manual engines startup procedure, with all new BLEED circuit (with new Bleed page on ECAM with animations), all fuel valves, pumps, crossfeed work. All bleed valves work. Engines failure procedure management, ehanded Navigation display with TCAS on ARC or NAV mode, gps Approach procedure sheme on the navigation display, corrected electrical circuit, and many other features (too long to describe here).
There is a user manual in English and in French. Very important to read it (for the manual engines startup procedure). You must have the orignal aircraft installed on your computer (Aribus A318 FD Special version V2) because this pack is only an update. Please, read the pdf installation file (English and French version) for full information on installing this update.
