| X2MB - RAF Membury - Berkshire, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Membury (ICAO X2MB) is a former Royal Air Force station built in the civil parish of Lambourn in Berkshire, England. The airfield is located approximately 4.6 miles (7.4 km) mi north-northwest of Hungerford, at the Membury services stop of the M4 motorway; about 60 miles (97 km) miles west-southwest of London. The airfield also lies immediately next to the Iron Age hill fort of Membury Camp.
Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). During the war it was used by several combat units with varying missions. It was also a major supply and maintenance depot. After the war, it was a private airport until the construction of the M4 motorway in the 1960s when it was closed.
Today the remains of the airfield are located on private property with the former technical site now being an industrial estate (Membury Business Park).

| X1BK - RAF Blakehill Farm - Wiltshire, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Blakehill Farm (ICAO X1BK) was an RAF airfield situated in Wiltshire, England. The station was originally allocated to the United States Army Air Forces Ninth Air Force but not used.
It opened in 1944 and was home for transport aircraft of No. 46 Group Transport Command. In 1948 the airfield was a satellite of RAF South Cerney and used by training aircraft before the airfield closed in 1952 and was returned to agricultural use.
After WWII, GCHQ set up an "experimental radio station", a top secret research facility, on the site of the RAF's wartime airfield at Blakehill Farm. It consisted of huge communications masts arranged in mysterious strategic patterns in the middle of the old airfield. The site was still active in some capacity until the mid 1990s and traces of the former antenna bases can still be seen on satellite photographs.
The site is now a Wiltshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve.

| X3ER - RAF East Wretham - Norfolk, England |
|
File Description:
RAF East Wretham (ICAO X3ER) is a former Royal Air Force station located 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast of Thetford, Norfolk, England.
East Wretham airfield was hurriedly brought into service during the early years of World War II as a satellite airfield with No. 311 (Czech) Squadron dispersed there from RAF Honington on 29 July 1940. A more permanent allocation followed in September. The squadron operated their bombers from the airfield until April 1942 when it transferred to Coastal Command.
Later, RAF Bomber Command No. 115 Squadron RAF, operating Vickers Wellington Mk IIIs and later Avro Lancasters, occupied the airfield from November 1942.
A plan to turn East Wretham into a "Class A" airfield was not carried through, the bomber unit moved to Little Snoring and the station turned over to the USAAF for fighter operations and in October 1943, was assigned USAAF designation Station 133 and was allocated to the United States Army Air Forces Eighth Air Force.

| RAF Snetterton Heath - Norfolk, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Snetterton Heath is a former Royal Air Force station located south east of the A11, 6 miles (9.7 km) south west of Attleborough, Norfolk, England.
RAF Snetterton Heath airfield was constructed in 1942 to Class-A specifications. Originally thirty-six hardstandings of the "frying pan" type were constructed as when work started, the base was intended for Royal Air Force (RAF) use. When re-scheduled for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the number was increased to fifty, all of them being on the south and eastern side of the airfield as a railway line and the A11 road restricted dispersed locations.
With the end of military control Snetterton Heath was closed and privately purchased in 1952 with a view to utilizing the runways and perimeter tracks as a motor racing circuit. The first motor cycle meeting was held in 1953 and the first motor races the following year. Source: Wikipedia.

File Description:
The Tupolev Tu-95 (Russian: Туполев Ту-95; NATO reporting name: "Bear") is a large, four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and missile platform. First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Soviet Union in 1956 and is expected to serve the Russian Aerospace Forces until at least 2040.[1] A development of the bomber for maritime patrol is designated Tu-142, while a passenger airliner derivative was called Tu-114.
The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines with contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today. The Tu-95 is one of the loudest military aircraft, particularly because the tips of the propeller blades move faster than the speed of sound.[2] Its distinctive swept-back wings are set at an angle of 35°. The Tu-95 is unique as a propeller-driven aircraft with swept wings that has been built in large numbers.

| Flight Assistant 1.3 |
|
File Description:
FS 2002 Flight Assistant is a program for flight enthusiasts that provides a virtual co-pilot. You can give commands using a microphone which the co-pilot executes then. For example, one could give the command "flaps up", and then the flaps will be raised automatically. Furthermore, the co-pilot responds to your commands, so that you receive a confirmation. The program is nearly fully configurable. You are able to create new commands and even to edit the existing ones. An optional "power" key lets the PC only recognize commands when you press and hold down a certain key.
New in version 1.3: Support for multiple languages (currently available: English, French, German), a printable command list, a tray icon and some other minor changes.
(Needs Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime and Microsoft Speech (SAPI) 5.1!)

| Lufthansa Boeing 777-200 |
|
File Description:
This is another of my fictional repaints of Melvin Rafi's fantastic GAMX 772 this time in Lufthansa colours. This guy has outdone himself with it. Lufthansa had originally put in a few orders for the Triple seven, but as they do not have any in their present fleet, it seems they cancelled. Most likely in Favour of the A340. For this paint, I borrowed the registration of a now retired Lufhtansa 747-232. Which is preserved and on show in a German museum. The name for this aircraft is in honour of a place I live while in Germany. This Zip file contains replacement textures only (With custom wing textures and new nightlighting). You will need to have the RR engined model pre-installed. Copy and paste the textures, its that easy.

| Lufthansa Boeing 737-230 'Landshut' |
|
File Description:
In October 1977, this Lufthansa Boeing 737-230 "Landshut" (D-ABCE) became famous when it was hijacked by terrorists on its flight as LH181 from PMI to FRA. After 5 days the German special command GSG9 finished the torture of the aircraft's passengers and crew members in Mogadishu. The repaint of the "Landshut" is intended to remember those days ans especially as a Flight Simulator's memorial to Cpt. Juergen Schumann, who was killed aboard of the "Landshut" after returning from checking the aircraft's landing gear. This repaint is based upon the 737-200 from FFX /SGA and photos of the real "Landshut". To enjoy this aircraft you should use Helio Estrela's Boeing 737-200 (also available on avsim.com) and a soundset for the Pratt & Whitney JT8-D engines. Have fun with this aircraft!
