| Lunar Gemini 1.0 |
|
File Description:
An alternate-history "historical" add-on.
Instead of, or as a backup to, Apollo, Gemini is further developed to help win the race to the moon.
In this add-on, a Centaur rocket stage is outfitted with an Agena-style docking collar and launched into orbit.
You will launch into orbit in your stock Gemini (not included), rendezvous and dock, and command the Centaur to send you on a free-return trajectory.
Your ride into space history awaits.
(Requires Gemini-Titan 4.11 or later. Earth_1962 add-on also highly recommended for maximum enjoyment).

| Marius Hills: Apollo 18 Landing Site |
|
File Description:
This ORBITER add-on features the lunar surface mesh of the Marius Hills area of the moon, which I built up from lunar orbiter photographs of the area. This pack also contains an Alternate-History Apollo 18 Mission, containing a completely new J (or in Apollo 18's case, K) type Lunar Module 3D-mesh, which has enlarged descent quads, to house various scientific equipment and the LRV or lunar rover. Also, I included a new EVA astronaut which is more accurate compared to my earlier Apollo lunar EVA astronauts, and a new, more accurate LRV with two seated astronauts as passengers.

| Mercury Level 8 Hi-Res Texture |
|
File Description:
This is a Level 8 hi-resolution surface texture for the planet Mercury. Thanks goes to John Van Vliet of Celestia for the 8192x4096 surface map of Mercury used to make this texture. John's website info can be found in the enclosed readme file.
John's map uses data from the far side of the moon to fill in the gaps in the original Mariner 10 imagery as only about 48% of the surface was mapped.
I used PSP to give the map a slightly coppery color. Overall a very aesthetically
appealing texture. A full-color MFD map is also included. Enjoy. Please, read the enclosed readme file first for installation instructions.

| Hopping Round The World Adventure - Pack 22 |
|
File Description:
Who said anything about AI planes doing touch and go in FS2004. Cool effect Microsoft! The only newbie to this pack is the MelJet Boeing 747F. The Northern Lights also known as the Aurora Borealis dances across the sky for your pleasure. Hope you find time to enjoy the light show and howl at the full moon also. CFIT – Controlled Flight Into Terrain. This is how real-world pilots meet their end. Don’t let it happen to you. At this time of year the sun hardly makes it past the horizon any time of day. Another zero visibility landing with an unusual request from ATC. Who said IFR was easy? Not me!!

| USAAF B-24D "Kate Smith" 98th Bomb Group, 9th AAF |
|
File Description:
"Kate Smith" 42-40991 was a B-24D-120-CO which came off the production lines of Consolidated, San Diego. The art work depicts American Singer Kate Smith's theme song, "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain". This ship was flown by the 1Lt James A Deeds to Ploesti on August 1, 1943. While taking part in the disasterous 98th BG attack on the Astra Romana-Phoenix Orion refinery complex, it took a direct hit in the cockpit area over the target at an estimated 250 ft of altitude. The aircraft caught fire in the bomb bay area and exploded mid-air. Miraculously, the copilot, 2Lt Clifton Foster was blown clear of the disintergrating aircraft and was able to open his parachute. Taken prisoner, he was the only survivor of the ten man crew.

| Surveyor Lunar Lander 1.0 |
|
File Description:
The Surveyor program consisted of seven unmanned lunar missions that were launched between May 1966 and January 1968. Five of these spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 successfully soft-landed on the lunar surface. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of lunar surface landings, the Surveyor missions obtained lunar and cislunar photographs and both scientific and technological information needed for the Apollo manned landing program. Four spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, and 6, returned data from selected mare sites from Apollo program support, and Surveyor 7 provided data from a contrasting rugged highland region.
The Orbiter version brings to you the historical flight of this unmanned lunar landing probe. The flight plan should bring you within 10,000 km of the Lunar surface. With one mid course correction, and enough practice, you can land it the moon.

File Description:
This folder contains two repaints for version 3.14 of the Douglas C-47 by Manfred Jahn and colleagues in the colors of C-47 #5, S/N 41-18527. This was one of the first from the 316th Sq.
ATC, to visit Project 19 (a aircraft repair facility in East Africa, operated by Douglas), delivering worn out parts and returning rebuilt engines to the RAF. It eventually took part in the invasion of Sicily, where, the pilot, Lt. George Quisenberry received wounds from German FLAK. The shell destroyed the nose of the Aircraft, knocking out all instruments except the stand by compass. Jiminy carried the crew back with nothing but the moon and the sticking standby compass. It was later used for experimental night camouflage, and this paintscheme is included as well as JK_Cricket. Jiminy Cricket continued to serve till May 1, 1947, when it was salvaged. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom for Manfred Jahn's C-47 version 3.14, based on the paintkit by Gman5250.
