| Lockheed VC-121A Constellation 'Columbine II' |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Lockheed VC-121A Constellation 'Columbine II'.
The Lockheed C-121A Constellation is the military
transport version of the L-749A Constellation.
Delivered on 22 November 1948, this particular aircraft
was soon converted to VC-121A VIP-transport. From
November 1952 till November 1954 this was the personal
transport of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1952,
President Eisenhower was flying to Florida. The
Presidential plane was named 'Columbine II' (after the
official flower of Colorado, the First Lady’s home
state), but it was identified to flight controllers as
“Air Force 610” (from its tail number 48-610). However,
flying in the same general region was Eastern Airlines
Flight 610. The Eastern Airlines pilot overheard a
conversation between flight controllers and the
President’s plane, and for a moment thought the
references to flight “610” were meant for him. Although
nothing untoward happened, the government realized that
the confusion could have been tragic. Since then, any
Air Force aircraft with the President on board has been
referred to as “Air Force One.” Thus, the 'Columbine
II' was the first aircraft to be distinguished with
this designation, and she served President Eisenhower
for several years in this role.
This repaint is a much improved version of the one
issued in 2006. It has not been tested for the FSX
version of Abacus' Constallation but probably will
function there as well.
These are textures only. You will require Francisco
Sánchez-Castañer's great payware Lockheed L-749
Constellation, which can be obtained from Abacus'
Platinum Collection (see
http://www.abacuspub.com/default.html). Repaint (based
on Francisco Sánchez-Castañer's textures) by Maarten
Brouwer.

Col. William G. Draper and Pilot Maj. William W. Thomas. This repaint has been tested in FS2004 only. However, it should be working in FSX also. You will require Team 749's (Manfred Jahn and Co) Lockheed L-749 Constellation package (LOCKHEED749.ZIP), the folder Lockheed_L749_0 (twin stack exhausts). Also required Team 749's Lockheed L-749 Constellation models update (749_MODELS_UPDATE.ZIP). Repaint by Maarten Brouwer, with a big thankyou to Eric Joiner for his permission to use his Columbine nose art.

| KLGB Long Beach Modernized Terminal |
|
File Description:
DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION AND NOT ANY OTHER ONES BY ROHAN PATEL
THIS IS THE AIRPORT AFTER ALL MODERNIZATION PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION AND NOT ANY OTHER ONES BY ROHAN PATEL
The airport I chose is Long Beach Airport. This airport has been around for many years and has had everything from the Air Force One to the 787 Dreamliner land here! The airport is located between downtown Los Angeles and Orange County and offers a great landing for tourists that do not want to land in the fifth busiest airport in the world, Los Angeles International.
The reason why I decided to create this airport was because it is my home airport and I am located only about five miles from it. Also, there is no good freeware FSX scenery for this airport.
Features included!:
- Modern Terminal with correct gate placements
- changed and edited roads and other buildings around airport
- added the jetBlue offices on the airport
- Cars added (all over the place!!!)
- trees added near drop off (California Palm trees)!
- baggage cars and other airport cars added.
- buses and car parking lots added
- "spring street" flight schools and private terminal added.
- Vehicles, AI aircraft, grave yard aircraft, and many other static joys throughout the airport!
- "Runup" aircraft near runway 34R.
- Boeing C-17 facility (no aircraft C17 there)
- updated taxi ways and heliports
- Airport Service vehicle roads updates and made with help from Google Earth.
- Accurate fence, jetblast fence, and boarders of airport.
- Cargo terminals added for ups and dhl
- Private (gulfstream and other private) jet spots added.
- Flight Schools such as Long Beach Flight Academy (one I go to!!!) accurately made.
- New taxi ways and terrain
- Aflite fuel truck spaces added
- Correct runway lengths of 25L
- More items you just need to see to believe!!!
Distribution limits (MUST CONTACT ME FOR REDISTRIBUTION).

File Description:
Re-upload. FS2004 Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation Paintkit. This paintkit is a supplement for the FS2004 Lockheed Super Constellation series project by Team 1049 - Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Manfred Jahn, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne, and Stefan Werner. In designated folders you will find templates in 32 bit format (incl. Alpha Channel) which form a basis for making repaints of textures of several versions of the turbo-compound powered Super Constellations. Represented are: R7V-1 (naval transport), C-121C (air force transport), VC-121E (air force VIP transport), L-1049G (overland passenger aircraft) and L-1049G (overwater passenger aircraft), L-1049H (passenger/freighter aircraft), and L-1049C-55-83 (special domestic version of L-1049C passenger aircraft for Eastern Air Lines). The templates of the L-1049G can also be used to make repaints for the L-1049C (overland and overwater) and L-1049E (overland and overwater). The templates of the L-1049H can also be used for the L-1049D. The templates of the R7V-1 can also be used for the C-121G and C-121J. The templates, based on the textures by Manfred Jahn, have been made by Maarten Brouwer. These templates have been tested in FS2004 (FS9) only.

File Description:
Representative scenery of RAF Middleton St. George in County Durham.
The airfield began its life as Royal Air Force Station Goosepool, and in 1941 became RAF Middleton St. George. The aerodrome opened as a Bomber Command station in 1941. In 1943 it was allocated to No. 6 Group, Royal Canadian Air Force. A sub-station was located at RAF Croft, Yorkshire. Squadrons based here include: 76 Squadron, which flew Halifaxes, 78 Squadron, which flew Whitleys, 419 Squadron RCAF, which flew Wellingtons, Halifaxes, and Lancasters, 420 Squadron RCAF, which flew Wellingtons, and 428 Squadron RCAF, which flew Wellingtons, Halifaxes, and Lancasters.
After the war, the aerodrome served various squadrons and units including No. 13 Operational Training Unit (OTU), No. 2 Air Navigation School, No. 4 Flight Training School, 226 OCU and squadrons that used Meteors, Hunters, Javelins and Lightnings.
The RAF left the station in 1964, but the aerodrome was reopened in 1966 as a civil airport. The airfield was named Teesside International Airport in the 1960s, and was renamed Durham Tees Valley Airport in 2004.
This scenery has been made using various scenery libraries, mainly from MAIW. Full listing in the docs.

| X3SY - RAF Saltby - Leicestershire, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Saltby (ICAO X3SY)was a World War II airfield in Leicestershire, England. The airfield is located approximately 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Melton Mowbray; about 90 miles (140 km) north-northwestof London.
It was opened in 1942, and was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces. During the war it was used primarily as a transport airfield. Like many airfields of the time it closed after the war in 1945 but kept in reserve until 1955.
Today the remains of the airfield are located on private property and, now known as Saltby Airfield, is used primarily for gliding.

File Description:
Mirage IIIBL (Lebanon). I present a comprehensive AI traffic model package for Marcel Dassault's signature design of military jet history. Going into production in 1959, this aircraft, in late form, is still in service with several air forces to this day.
An original 7-LOD model pays homage to this wonderful aircraft in the flightsim world. This package represents the Mirage IIIBL in the service of the Lebanese Air Force; with 2 models and 2 repaints; possibly the smallest package evolving from this project. Original aircraft model, flight dynamics, some effects, and textures by Michael Pearson; tremendous amounts of help from Michael MacIntyre and Frank Safranek.
