| Whale Island (Hi Resolution Photo and mesh), New Zealand |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whale Island (Maori Name: Moutohora) is a small island located off the Bay of Plenty coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is located about 12 kilometers north of the town of Whakatane. A whaling station existed on the island during the 19th century. The 1.43 km island is a remnant of a complex volcano which has eroded, leaving two peaks. This is still an area of volcanic activity and there are hot springs on the island in Sulphur Valley, McEwans Bay, and Sulphur Bay.
This Hi Resolution scenery was created from a 0.25m pixel resolution Ortho-rectified Aerial mosaic owned by Environment Bay of Plenty (The Bay of Plenty Regional Council) and flown in 2007. The imagery has been slightly de-sampled for use in Flight Simulator X and utilizes the a custom hi resolution 5m Mesh derived from photogrammetry data off the photos. The textures are intended for summer daylight flying only, although due to the evergreen nature of New Zealand's native bush, the Islands appearance remains relatively constant throughout the year.
The island contains a small helicopter pad which is used for checking the various radio antennas on the Island. There is also a small Department of Conservation hut near the south western tip of the Island. These objects have been added from the FSX library of objects. Make sure to turn up your graphics sliders to make the most of this data! To find the Island fly north from Whakatane airport.

| FSX/P3D Aloha Airlines DC-3 circa 1958 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-3 in Aloha Airlines colors. The freeware DC-3/C-47 v3 by Manfred Jahn is needed for this repaint. Aloha was founded in 1946 under the name of Trans Pacific Airways. With a single DC-3, they offered passenger charter and cargo services between the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. On February 11 1949 they officially became a scheduled service airline. Their main rival was Hawaiian Airlines, and in 1957 they changed their name to Aloha Airline to better compete against Hawaiian. In 1959 a modern F-27 joined the fleet, which forced the retirement of Aloha's aging DC-3 fleet by the mid 1960s. They also introduced the Viscount 745D in June 1961. BAC-111s were acquired in 1966. However, the British made airliners had limitations in the very humid environment of Hawaii, and in 1967 Aloha ordered 2 Boeing 737-200s with a further 6 in 1968 to replace the BAC-111s. The 737s were destined to become the workhorse of the airline, with over 60 being used by Aloha over the years. Their iconic "Flower Power" livery was unveiled in 1969, and was reintroduced in 2006 on one of their 737 as a retro livery. Due to heavy financial problems caused by various factors, Aloha unfortunately ceased operations on March 31 2008. This DC-3, N2804D, was leased by Aloha in the late 1950s. Textures are DDS DXT5. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE and should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.

| Toronto Downtown Airport CYTZ, Ontario Canada, for Toronto2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CYTZ is on an island in Lake Ontario and immediately adjacent to downtown Toronto, and this is the version for use with Flight Ontario's Toronto2 scenery for the Greater Toronto Area. There have been major changes after Porter Airlines purchase of the airport. The obvious and main new item is the terminal, made with photo textures, and with ten gates sized to meet the requirements of the Dash 8-400 they currently use. The terminal has a passenger entrance and a vehicle setdown point as part of the link to the ferry terminal that wraps around the west side of the original and preserved terminal building. The ferry terminal is included here, along with a ferry. Also new are the car parking, road routing, gate and taxi markings, taxiways, taxiway signage, taxiway lighting, runway lighting, aprons, apron lighting (from Sid, and you will need to install his "lights_ss_v2"), fences, fuel tanks, tanker trucks, access roads to navigation equipment, ai parking, static parked planes, parked cars, apron equipment, and the useable floatplane ramp. The AI includes Porter, Jazz, several GA aircraft, and a helicopter; only 3 of these require downloads. The Lake Ontario AI includes three large ships, typical of the traffic to be seen on all the Great Lakes. CYTZ has three runways and there is an airport diagram included. 08-26 has ILS and is the only runway long enough for Porter to use; FS9 atc will ignore this. There is fuel available and it is dispensed from a truck. The longer projection from the front of the terminal building is a covered ramp that leads up from the terminal basement level, used by towed luggage trolleys. The gates are not powered in any way except for the weather cover that protects passengers as they cross the small area of asphalt between plane and gate. I did not try to reproduce this in FS9.

| Purple Panel Project Black (v5) |
|
File Description:
This is a new release for the purple panel project - it includes panels for Single Piston
Engine, Twin Piston Engine, Single Jet, Twin Jet, Twin TurboProp, along with 3 and 4 Jet
aircraft (also included are instructions on adding a water rudder to any of the panels). These
are 'all-in-one' panels that include everything needed to fly in one window/panel. Features
include pushback, switches for lights, door and power along with a variety of other things
(all switches have tooltip IDs), radio altimeter, EADI w/Glideslope indicator, OAT, Clock,
Taxi Control, APU (where applicable), GPS, Smoke, AutoBrake, TCAS, Spoiler Arming, full fuel
control, Dual Needle RMI, the 'blue' radio plus all the bells and whistles I could fit in the
panel like warning lights, pressure and windspeed indicators ect... This release corrects some
minor issues with v3 and is a major rework with new taxi and pushback gauges, a minimum of
gauge relocation from panel to panel and a improved background bitmap. As with v3 prop and
mixture control are in place on applicable aircraft plus the ADF radio and transponder are the
same from panel to panel and do not move as they did in v3. It is the perfect 'standard panel' for use with nearly all the aircraft one can fly in FS2002... No previous versions are
required to use these panels.

| SAR...Bimbo, Zula, Dobo |
|
File Description:
Russian Circus " Flying Sagitarius" (ïîëåò Sagitarious ) is visiting
Georgia and its mountain communities. Due to the cold weather, not expected by Yokoliv Burulov,
owner and trapeze swinger of the circus, three of his "stars" had to be taken by truck to a hospital since
their bowels have suffered " Dirruscus-Megra" a common cold water desease in the mountains. The three
ill "stars" are the Elephant "Bimbo"--"Zula" the laughfing Zebra and "Dobo" the great Dansing Russian Brown Bear...
Together these animals are worth around 75,000 Rubles in the Circus Markets.----Now Yokoliv has received
a call that the truck had an accident on the road and the three characters have run into the mountains. Not
wasting time he has asked the nearby Air Force Base for help. General Gustrgy Bonklovsky commander of the base and circus lover, has agreed to provide him with a SAR helicopter that will search the area and find at all cost the Animals....You are called to be the pilot for the mission at hand. Its cold, muggy and for the last three days fog has been lingering all over the mountains.---"this is the life pilot" says General Bonklovsky , as he hands you the search area map with a sardonic smile. You smell the presence of resently drunk Vodka and leave the hut toward the spinning Chopper.---Download MI-8 Helicopter for Mission

| California Central Coast Scenery for FSX with Megascenery Earth (Default Mesh Terrain) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Revised 1/7/10 for upload to Avsim.COM. CCFSXMSFix is incorporated so not required.
This is an earlier version of CCC Megascenery Earth scenery that doesn't require FSGenesis Mesh Terrain. See CCFSXMSG.ZIP for the FSGenesis Mesh version.
This scenery covers the California coastal region from N36���°10' (Coalinga) to N34���°25' (Santa Barbara) and from the coast East to W119���°40'. It is a version of my previous California Central Coast scenery redesigned and expanded to work with MegaScenery Earth from PC Aviator Inc. Many airstrips in the area covered by this scenery have been added or enhanced for a total of 27 airports/airstrips in the area. Several areas of interest such as the Santa Barbara marina, Morro Bay, etc. are also included for a total of 41 points of interest. All airports/airstrips and related structures have been adjusted and realigned to conform to actual positions and dimensions as indicated by the MegaScenery satellite textures. In addition, there are 6 invisible water runways for use by AI floatplane traffic. MegaScenery California-13, -14 and -15 are required for this scenery to make sense. I also used California-12, -28 and -29 when constructing the scenery but they could be considered optional.

| Destination Finder for FS9 v1.1 |
|
File Description:
In this program, you enter the ICAO code of your start airport, the distance you wish to fly, and the heading on which you wish to fly. The program will search through all the stock airports in FS9, and will compile a list of airports nearest to your desired destination. For extra flexibility, you can also leave the heading and/or the distance unspecified. Alternatively, the program can now read your aircraft’s position in all versions of FS, and use that as the starting point of the search. You can optionally specify a maximum and/or minimum length for the runway, whether the runway must have an ILS, a maximum elevation for the destination airport, the runway surface (hard or soft or water) and whether the airport should be civil or military or either. The program can be useful for planning your own flight or for drawing up AI flightplans. It is a standalone program, and uses FS9 airport and runway data, but, with that limitation in mind, it can equally be used with other versions of FS. Version 1.1 has a much improved formula for calculating longitude and latitude over longer distances, and is now very accurate over all distances. Version 1.1 also incorporates a number of new features suggested by user feedback. The upgrade is recommended for all users. Needs the .NET Framework 2.0.

| KEFD -Ellington 2025 Refresh FSX (Circa 2006-2010)- Johnson Space Center Houston |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a complete refresh in 2025 for the entire Houston Bay Area and KEFD. This is a freeware update for KEFD, published 2025 for FSX, and includes CVX landclass and ADEX.bgl files for KEFD and surrounding greater area, circa 2006-2010. File includes very accurate landclass fixes for the surrounding Bay Area of Houston, and I added tons of VFR scenery objects, featuring Johnson Space Center Houston. Including:
-- Pasadena water treatment facility (Rwy 17)
-- NASA buoyancy lab
-- Pasadena shopping center off of Beltway 8
-- San Jacinto College
-- Pasadena convention center
-- Johnson Space Center Houston
-- Baybrook mall area
-- storage units across from Rwy 35Landclass fixes are extremely accurate, as I used satellite imagery from circa 2006-2010 era. This was both an era when the 147th FW was active, and there was a lot less buildings in the era. -- In addition:
-- I added NASA T38 and F16 parking with ramps
-- Straightened out the very crooked and inaccurate runways and taxis from the other freeware
-- added lighting to KEFD ramps and parking
-- added parking for coast guard MH 65 and helicopter parking for user.
-- Landclass fixes for the barren Spring-cypress greater area (KIAH-KDWH area).I hope you enjoy, north and southeast Houston no longer look like farms and fields with sparce patches of random houses. -DJN

| Rae Lakes CYRA at Gameti in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Gameti is a village in the Northwest Territories, around 65 miles north of Whati which was recently posted. Until 2005 the village, which has a population of around 280, was known as Rae Lakes and the airfield is now renamed Gameti/Rae Lakes as shown in the 2010 version of the Nav Canada Flight Supplement, my standard reference year. Permanent settlement was established there in 1965. There is no all-weather road access and the village is reliant upon the airfield for supplies, along with an ice road in the winter months. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a lit gravel runway of just over 3,000 feet aligned 14-32 and with PAPI at both ends. The airfield is served by Air Tindi from Yellowknife on an almost daily basis, included in the AI here along with some GA and a Friday delivery by a Buffalo DC3 that uses all of the runway. The runway has lake water at each end, ready for the unwary. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.
