File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Lionheart Fairchild 24, in the colors of VH-ALF.This aircraft (c/n 339) was built with the USAAC serial of 42-32134, and was shipped as part of the Lend Lease program to the U.K. becoming FK330. In 1948 it was civilianized as G-AKJL. It was first registered in Australia in July, 1951. Interestingly, the site athttp://home.att.net/~jbaugher/1942_2.html states that it was returned to the USA in 1947. That being the case, did the USA state that they didn't want it, and return it to the U.K. again? If not, how then did it get to be registered in the the U.K. in 1948? Or maybe it WAS to have been returned but did not. Anyway, it was back at Lithgow, NSW in May 1973. At present, it is painted in a "war bird" livery, based at Wedderburn, NSW. Incidentaly, since this machine was an Argus I with the RAF it is extremely unlikely that it ever bore USAAF markings. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Lionheart Creations.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX by Real Air. It shows Spitfire LF IXc OO-ARE as it looked around 1960 when flying as a target tug with Cogea in Belgium. Originally NH238, it went to the Dutch Air Force in 1946, where it flew as H-60 and H-103. It went to the Belgian Air Force in 1952, becoming SM-36. It was sold to Cogea of Ostend in 1956, and was used as a target tug until 1961 with the registration OO-ARE. It was sold to the UK, becoming G-MKIX. It was dameaged from a ground fuel explosion in Exter in 1961, but restored again. It went to the US in 1969, where it became N238V, returning to the UK again in 1979. It was last flown as NH238/D-A, but it was removed from the registry in 2002. It is rumored to be in storage at Greenham Common. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by RealAir.

| Air Viking Vanguard 952 TF-AVA |
|
File Description:
The ex Air Canada Vanguards acquired by Air Holdings were flown by many airlines in the early days. Many of them were only for a short time as startup airlines took them on with high hopes only to fail or change direction. Air Viking was one of two Icelandic airlines leasing Vanguards in 1970-71. Operating this single Vanguard from a base in Keflavik it flew to many destinations even flying as far as the Canary Islands. Delivered in June 1970 it was repossessed by Air Holding when the airline failed in December of that year. This particular machine came of note when, as CF-TKD it flew the first TCA Westbound flight on 01 February 1961 and again when flying for Invicta as G-AXOY it made the last ever UK passenger Vanguard flight flying a Luton-Luton charter on 26 October 1975. Sold to EAS as F-BXOH it did not enter service but was stored as a spares source at Perpignan. Requires the FSDS Vanguard model by Rick Piper.

| Air Jordan de Havilland DH-89a Rapide |
|
File Description:
Aircraft history - c/n 6687 was built at Loughborough as a DH89B Dominie and had the RAF serial number NR811. Postwar, she was converted to a DH89A and became Channel Island Airways’ G-AGSK 27th Oct 1945, then went to Jordan in October 1953 as Air Jordan’s TJ-ABP. Some time between 1953 and 1956 the Jordanian registration letters changed from TJ- (TransJordan?) the JY-, and she became JY-ABP (TJ- is now Caneroons). I don’t know how long she survived after 56, but there’s a reference on the web to a photo of her wreckage.
Airline history: Air Jordan was founded in 1950 by H E Ismail Bilbesi and was partly owned by Trans Ocean Airways. They initially flew Airspeed Consuls on domestic routes out of Amman, but later acquired some C-47s from Trans Ocean to fly the Amman – Kuwait – Kandahar – Kabul route (could be a DC-3 Airways charter there!). In 1960, they acquired a DC-6, and they went bust in ’61. There routes were taken over by Jordan Airways (aka Jordanian).

| Global Supply Systems PMDG Boeing 747-400 Version 2 |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of a Global Supply Systems Boeing 747-400 (G-GSSA) for use with the PMDG 747 Queen of the Skies. You MUST have purchased a valid copy of the PMDG 747 in order to use this repaint. This repaint does attempt to recreate the freighter version of the 747-400. I DO realise there are major differences between PAX and F versions (especially the size of the upper deck), but due to small demand at my virtual airline British Airways Virtual, I have applied the textures to the PAX model. For the proper model, you'll have to wait for the PMDG 747 Freighter, which is currently in development. This is version 2 of a previous release, and addresses many things that were incorrect (Tail to Fuselage joining, Larger Grey Underside, Registration Font, Gear Door colour, Light Map). Those who have just got version 1 or version 1 and the fix MUST download this file in order to benefit from the changes. Apologies to the inconvienience caused with the release of all previous updates (now deleted).

File Description:
FSX Mesh South America Project:
This terrain mesh file is a part of a whole project covering all the Continent
of South America and some islands, divided in tiles identified in a map by its
column (letters) and rows (numbers).
Those files were multi-LOD compiled from 90m SRTM2 source data, reprocessed
with 3DEM to remove voids and spikes, providing a 76.4m (LOD9) horizontal
resolution topography intended for use only in FSX updated with SP1.
Although not well documented, to improve performance, the updated FSX loads DEM
files in threads and only the closer terrain (about 5-10 NM from the point of view)
is rendered in high detail, while at far distances FSX shows up its default low
resolution mesh, when there is not a third part terrain mesh compiled in all
others intermediate level of details (multi-LOD).
THIS FILE:
FSX_MeSA_G08 (Column G x Row 08)
covers the area inside the boundaries:
N = 22º 30' S; S = 28º 7.5' S;
W = 45º 0' W; E = 37º 30' W;

File Description:
Douglas C47-B-DK c/n 33257. Purchased from Hunting Aviation in 1953 where it was registered as G-ANAS. Transfered to Wenela Rhodesia as VP-YSM then A2-ZEM. Sold to African Air carriers as ZS-KIV. It is probably the only DC-3 in the world to have suffered the most accidents and be rebuilt, it had survived no less than three landing accidents, one collision with a tree and two serious fires. One of the fires virtually destroyed the whole cockpit! The cockpit section from the original ZS-DCA, which had been abandoned at Lourenco Marques (Maputo) in 1975, was stitched on to this aircraft after one accident in the early 1990's. It finally crashed on landing in 2005 in the DRC at Kilembwe and remains there, untouched, as it is now trapped in a mine field. It was on a routine flight for Wimbidira Airways and was registered as 9Q-CWI. Prior installation of Manfred Jahn's outstanding FS2004 Douglas C-47 Base Pack (c-47_basepack_fs9.zip) is required. Repaint by Andre Reimers.

| UK2000 Heathrow Pro |
|
File Description:
A high quality AFCAD2 file for the UK2000 Heathrow Pro Airport. Built from scratch, using the latest CAA charts, this AFCAD2 compliments the addon scenery perfectly. This file gives you the current real life taxiway names and gate numbers at this airport. Aircraft will take-off from and land directly onto the runway centerlines. Current setup is Runway 9L/27R for landing, runway 9R/27L for take-offs, although you can change this if you wish. Runway 05/23 is utilised as 'Taxiway Alpha' as per real life. Airlines are allocated to the correct terminals and all gates are used. This file gives you 200 usable parking positions at this airport, including those in the maintenance, hangar and Cargo areas and the current T5 parking stands. This file has been fully tested with no problems found. Requires the payware 'UK2000 Heathrow Pro' package by G. Summons available at http://www.uk2000scenery.com - this file is not compatible with the default FS2004 Heathrow airport, or the normal version of UK2000 Heathrow.

File Description:
In 1945 this little known (and probably unheard of) Southampton engineering works announced the existence of their CONCORDIA medium range 10 seat 'feeder liner' project which put it directly head to head in the same market as the DH104 Dove, the prototype of which had already flown.
The advertising publicity of the day described a very desirable, luxurious aircraft with a 1200 mile range. Designed as a DH89A Dragon Rapide replacement, as with the Dove, the operating costs would prove to be at least twice as high but an attractive modern metal airliner with passenger appeal was on offer!
In 1947 the first two airframes had been completed and were flying. In addition a production line of six aircraft had been laid down. These included c/n 3 for the Nawab of Bhopal (G-AKBF/VT-CQT) and two for British European Airways. Unfortunately, due to an inadequate market, by the end of the year all work was suspended and the incomplete airframes were scrapped.
