Val-U-Prop VA: Ernest K. Gann's 1939 Route

File Description:
Taken from the pages of "Fate is the Hunter" this is Route AM-21 that Ernest K. Gann flew as a co-pilot and pilot in DC-2's and DC-3's in 1938-1940. Included are FS2002 ATC Flight Planner legs for the flight, as well as a text file with all headings, NAVAIDS, approaches and some life-saving tips for flying the route in bad weather. This can be used in any version of FS. Can be flown ATC or as a VOR flight with ILS's, or even as an NDB-only flight in keeping with the period. This is a multi-stop flight: Newark to Wilkes-Barre; to Syracuse; to Rochester; Buffalo; Erie, and finally to Cleveland. Each leg has a separate Flight Planner leg. An official Val-U-Prop VA flight.

Jetplan 767 v6

File Description:
Compiled from actual 767 performance manuals and load sheets this MS Excel Spreadsheet allows you to calculate Fuel required with factored fuel burn for headwind and aircraft weight with respect to trip distance including alternate. It produces a fully annotated load sheet with ZFW, TOW and LW clearly indicated. A Takeoff Card sheet provides Takeoff N1 for Derate 2, Derate 1 and Full Power Takeoffs, together with the balanced field V speeds for current airfield pressure altitude and temperature. A Performance Sheet provides Regulated Take-Off Weights (RTOW) for the following factors: Field length Weights allowing for runway slope %, wind component pressure altitude and temperature. The Climb Limit weights give the limiting weights for the above factors together with packs on/off and engine and or wing anti-ice applied. All sheets can be printed. This file is FREEWARE.

North American F-86A-5-NA Sabre USAF 49-1236 flew by the LtCol.Bruce Hinton with the 4th FIG 336th FIS in the mission of the 17-12-50 in the Korean War. In this mission Hinton was credited with the destruction of the MiG-15 of the 29 GIAP 50th IAD flew by the soviet pilot Yakov Yefromenko.(pilot ejected).Hinton had also utilised the FU-180 "Squanee"(49-11180) but not in the mission of this day. The models A-5 were utilised by the 4th FIG until the sustitution with the model E by september of 1951. FU-236 was finally shot down by MiG the Oct 24, 1951.

Air Canada DC-8 Operating Manual

File Description:
These are scans from an old Air Canada DC-8 manual. There are four chapters: Chapter 2 - Normal Operation, which includes Takeoff through Approach and Landing procedures. Chapter 4 - Performance, which includes performance charts for DC-8-40 (RR Conway), DC-8-50 (JT3D-3), DC-8-61 (JT3D-3) and DC-8-63 (JT3D-7). Chapter 20 - Flight Instruments, which includes detailed descriptions and schematics of the pitot static system, gyrosyn compass system, and a flight director approach diagram. Chapter 21 - Automatic Flight Control System, which includes descriptions and a schematic of the autopilot system, as well as a description of autothrottle operation (Air Canada had some DC-8-63s with autothrottle). These are the only chapters I have, so don't bother asking for more! Big thanks to Herman Kreimes who provided the material for scans.

Beaver Panel 2005 Config

File Description:
This is a panel.cfg file for use with Jean-Pierre Langer and Arne Bartels Beaver panels based on photos by Larry Smith. It is made to be compatible with John L. Woodward's Beaver 2005 aircrafts that were recently released. This version enables the Photoreal 2D side views while still keeping the Virtual Cockpit. The 2D panel and side views are extremely photorealistic and excellent looking. I think you will really enjoy them if you are wanting a totally freeware DHC-2 Beaver. This is just a panel.cfg file and requires you to download the panel by Jean-Pierre Langer and Arne Bartels, and of course one or both of John's L. Woodward's Beavers. The panel is in the FS2002 Panels section of the Avsim library and the filename is bvr_pnls.zip. John's FS2004 aircrafts are filenames beaver_wheels_2005.zip and beaver_floats_2005.zip. Enjoy!

MULTIPLE FS9.EXE: do it yourself! NO TOOL!

File Description:
Hi friends, Some sceneries request TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL = 19, some 20 or 21…. Others work better with UNLIMITED FRAMERATE, some work only with frames limited to 24, 25 or whatever fps…. Some Photorealistic sceneries will get blurry when using EXTENDED TEXTURES, others no…. Some aircrafts have a specific joystick configuration; others like helicopters will have a completely different one…. I was personally fed up with spending time tweaking this poor FS9.cfg file, having thousands of different copies in my computer when I just observed that Microsoft offers us a very easy way to build several FS9.exe, one for each configuration. So now I have on my desktop several FS9 icons, each one is loading FS with its specific config Very cool, really and so easy to do!!!. Do you want to know how to do that in 2 minutes? So follow me!

Seattle Expansion Toolkit

File Description:
Conversion of the Seattle Region from .cpd to .bin for FU3 This experimental toolkit is for region builders, its not a new full game ! If you want expand the region with new material to the north and the east then conversion to .bin is a must. Do not convert if you don't plan to expand or modify texture of the tiles. Then the only results are a larger game folder :-( The quality of the original tiles will not change ! The Seattle region is converted from 10x10 tiles area into a 16x16 tiles area but just 2 new tiles are made north of Coupeville Nolf as sample, so 154 tiles are then still missing and replaced by the blank tile (new full water tile). As elevation the new NASA-SRTM-V2 model is used. Backup your Seattle region before starting the experiment.

Tlingit Air Fleet

File Description:
A pair of DHC-2s of different style and an Aviat Husky comprising the Fleet of Tlingit Air. Tlingit Air is a "fantasy" air service simular to Taquan Air (real World) based at Ketchekan, AK. Tlingit Air with its main office in North Whale serves Prince of Whales Island communities as well as most of the Ketchekan - Petersburg - Sitka - Klawock area. While they do fly charter, the primary business is Air Taxi and freight. These three aircraft are textures only... you will need Steven Grant's Aviat Husky Float (or really any of the three that might suit you - or all three if you prefer) Steven Grant's DHC2-v2 (again, this texture should work for all versions) and John Woodward's DHC-2 (I am assuming it would be fine for both - though I only use the float version)

Great Lakes Aviation B1900D Set 1

File Description:
First PLEASE NOTE: This file REPLACES the upload I had prior. I had my prior file removed and this file supersedes with better tail textures and changes to the readme!!!! That being said . . . . These are textures for the Great Lakes Aviation "Grand Tetons", "Fly Telluride" and "Dinosaur" themes. You must have the wonderful PMDG Express B1900D to use these textures. THESE TEXTURES ARE VERSION 2, and contain Higher Quality tails than my prior upload. This file supersedes my prior upload. If you uploaded the first file I put up for this set, please use these taxtures and REPLACE the ones you already installed!!!!! Tail art by Steve Tran. Many thanks to Steve and PMDG for making this project possible, as well as Mark for bringing up the idea in the PMDG forum area here on AVSIM.
