Active ILS - KCLE (Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport) |
![]() |
File Description:
By design KCLE is now another Airport that features advanced ATC control. As most know initiating the ILS at certain airports for AI Traffic is not a function at this time when using AFCAD2. If you add a new runway and ILS to an airport such as KCLE (6L/24R) only the user aircraft can use this runway when visibility falls below 3 miles. ATC will no longer use this runway for Traffic because FS9 sees it as a visual runway. This will cause ATC to vector your plane and AI Traffic back to 6R/24L which is also a Terminal Departure Runway. All 3 runways for KCLE are now simultaneously active for departure and arrival. There are many additioanl options added so follow the instructions in the README and just sit back (or fly) and plane spot either VMC or IMC for a very active airport. *** Shehryar 'Shez' Ansari's popular KCLE Scenery AFCAD2 and special ILS bgl also included ***

Vanguard 1 Add-on for Orbiter |
![]() |
File Description:
Originally a simple nose cone was to be carried aloft, but in July of 1957 it was decided that a small 1.47 kilogram (3.25 pound) test satellite would be used instead to exercise the tracking stations. This test satellite would consist of a simple 16 centimeter (6.4 inch) polished aluminum alloy sphere equipped with two transmitters operating at frequencies around 108 MHz, 6 small solar panels, and 6 dowel like antennas.
The satellite was Vanguard I, in which its successes set the pattern for a multitude of other space ventures in this country and abroad. Vanguard also served as a springboard for scientists to launch several series of space probes to study various aspects of radiation phenomena.
Vanguard I introduced much of the technology that has been applied in other U.S. satellite programs. For example, it proved that solar cells could be used for several years to power radio transmitters. Vanguard's solar cells operated for about seven years, while conventional batteries used to power another onboard transmitter lasted only 20 days.
Now the oldest man-made satellite still in orbit to this day, Vanguard I has been 100 percent successful in meeting all its scientific objectives.
Now you can fly this historical satellite in orbit. Unlike all the US Navy failed attempts, the Orbiter version will always get you there.

Explorer 1 Add-on for Orbiter |
![]() |
File Description:
Explorer 1 was the first satellite launched by the United States when it was sent into space on January 31, 1958. Following the launch of the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency was directed to launch a satellite using its Jupiter C rocket developed under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory received the assignment to design, build and operate the artificial satellite that would serve as the rocket's payload. JPL completed this job in less than three months.
The primary science instrument on Explorer 1 was a cosmic ray detector designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth orbit. Once in space this experiment, provided by Dr. James Van Allen of the State University of Iowa, revealed a much lower cosmic ray count than expected. Van Allen theorized that the instrument may have been saturated by very strong radiation from a belt of charged particles trapped in space by Earth's magnetic field. The existence of these radiation belts was confirmed by another U.S. satellite launched two months later, and they became known as the Van Allen Belts in honor of their discoverer.
Explorer 1 revolved around Earth in a looping orbit that took it as close as 354 kilometers (220 miles) to Earth and as far as 2,515 kilometers (1,563 miles). It made one orbit every 114.8 minutes, or a total of 12.54 orbits per day. The satellite itself was 203 centimeters (80 inches) long and 15.9 centimeters (6.25 inches) in diameter. Explorer 1 made its final transmission on May 23, 1958. It entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up on March 31, 1970, after more than 58,000 orbits. The satellite weighed 14 kilograms (30.8 pounds).

Minuteman II Missile |
![]() |
File Description:
The Minuteman was Americas Third Operational ICBM System. During the Cuban Missile Crisis it was America's "Ace In The Hole". It has been operational at U.S. bases since 1962 reaching a peak of 1,000 missiles.
The Minuteman II program was economically crucial to the development of integrated circuits. It was the first mass-produced system to use a computer constructed from integrated circuits, and used most of the production of such circuits from 1962 through 1967. The other major customer of these circuits was the Apollo Guidance Computer, which had similar weight and ruggedness constraints.
The Orbiter version keeps up with the historical aspect of this horrible weapon. This add-on is created for historical purposes only, and we do not condone using Orbiter to simulate nuclear war. No active Minuteman II missiles currently exist today. The only way to see one now is at a museum or on display at various Air Force bases world wide. This add-on simulates the flight plan and package delivery of a real Minuteman II missile.
The warhead included in this add-on is from the Trinity package created by Dave Rowbothham. The warhead activates at about 4 minutes to impact. It arms at 2000 feet and detonation occurs at 1800 feet.
