File Description:
Sinapore Airlines is the launch customer for the A359ULR. The aircraft is configured in a two-class layout, with 67 Business Class seats and 94 Premium Economy Class seats. She is designed for long range flights of over 9,700 nm. Fuel has been increased at the expense of souls on board. The primary use will initially be for routes between WSSS and KJFK (or KLGA), but many others of similar distance can be added later. The flight number on this aircraft reflects the first flight from KJFK-WSSS which is only 8,275 nm (Contrary to media reports of over 9,000 nm) and about 17.5 hours duration (see You Tube video on this flight). The aircraft follows normal flight rules with a higher flight level and longer range. Almost everything is computer controlled and monitored throughout the flight, from take-off to landing. Two of Four pilots monitor the flight at all times, and shift changes occur on a schedule that allows appropriate rest for the crew. The passengers enjoy accommodations unlike provided in any other aircraft or flight, with plenty of meal servings and entertainment options. To see the seating chart, enter the Airbus A359ULR Singapore Airlines folder and click the icon named “SeatGuru Seat Map Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 ULR.html†and the seating map will appear. The model here has ground servicing animation. Please review the ReadMe_FSX.txt document for further info on this. Read A359ULR details.txt for aircraft details.

File Description:
The Russian Air Force 37th Air Army operates the TU-95MS (TU-95M 55 Bear H) from the 182th TBAP unit based in Zavitinsk and 6213 BKHUAT based at Engels Air Base in the Moscow Region. It's use is primarily in maritime operations. She carries cruise missiles even if only used for submarine comms. Her initial design is a competitor with the B-52, but uses 4 Turboprop engines with 8 contra-rotating props. She can fly about as far as, but not as high as the B-52, nor can she fly as fast. She is often monitored off the coast of Alaska and easily met with F-22 Raptors every time. She is also often met by NATO fighters near European borders. Since 45,000 feet is about the highest she can cruise, most fighters can meet her. Her real danger is the cruise missiles which, if launched, have a range more than 1,500 nm and can pinpoint any directed target using GPS ground control. She is normally flown in formations of 3 or more, but sometimes only 2 are observed. She is not designed to fly fast over low terrain, like the B-52, but can do-so if necessary, and dangerously. The aircraft has not seen any major improvements or modifications since the cold war era, and several have crashed due to lack of maintenance. It is currently unknown how many are in service condition. Since much is unknown about this aircraft, yet enough is known to re-create an authentically working model, I have done-so here. Every bit of the aircraft.cfg file and associated .air file has been re-worked to match what known data can offer, and known aerodynamic formulas can equate. The most difficult aspect is the Turboprop aspect, since Turboprop engines do not work like jet engines in any way. Luckily for the simmer, there is no need to adjust feathering or anything like that would be necessary in a normal Turboprop because these engines are self-adjusting. Even though they meet the full known specs of the real engines, I have actually worked all the math to make them actual Turboprop engines (not pseudo-jet engines). That may sound exciting, but you must remember that she is a prop-driven aircraft, and not a jet. Even though you can fly her like a jet, the engines do not adjust like a jet. All aspects have been configured to meet realistic standards, including the MOI factors, weight/balance (including payload positions), gear locations, aircraft dimensions, light positions, engine smoke locations and operations, and weight. I did not simply throw this together, but have been perfecting her for many years.

File Description:
The AN225-210 is the result of a proposed 1 to 2-year projected modernization program which will
convert the current AN225 into a much more useful and capable aircraft than the already infamous
ÐœÑ€Ñ–Ñ (Mriya) . The latter First flew on December 21, 1988, and is currently 33 years old. There have
been a few maintenance periods and 1 major avionics modification, but otherwise is too old for reliable
future use. The 2 year process involves reconstructing the landing gear system to support much more weight. The
new engines are much more powerful, but lighter in weight, and much more fuel efficient. The wings
are replaced with similar wings with more wing-area built of modern light-weight material which gives
her higher lift capacity. The cargo hold area is reinforced for heavier weight limits. The crew areas
(upper deck, fore/aft main wing) are modernized for long duration flight, and two galleys are included.
The fuel tanks (9) now also involve 3 tanks in the upper center portion of the fuselage in order to put
less stress on the wings. The pressure system is modernized to achieve 6,000 feet cabin pressure up to
FL470. The internal and external lighting is fully modernized, the former for a pleasing effect and the
latter for distinct recognition during flight. Overall, the aircraft does not appear different to the
common observer.

File Description:
NASA TU-144LL: TU-144D aircraft (CCCP-77114) converted to a flying laboratory for NASA with four Kuznetsov NK-321 afterburning turbofan engines and re-registered RA-77114. The aircraft underwent many upgrades and modifications in its conversion to the "LL" Flying Laboratory, including the installation of more powerful NK-321 augmented-turbofan engines that were originally produced for the Tupolev TU-160 Blackjack bomber. NASA successfully used this aircraft to help in designing the U.S. Space Shuttle. She is no longer flying, nor are any other Soviet versions other than the TU-160. This model represents the maximum test payload and fuel for test flights, and includes real world engine/aero dynamics provided by NASA and further employed in this converted model (cosmetics are original).

File Description:
JUST IN TIME FOR HURRICANE SEASON ... The E-3D Sentry, known to the RAF as the AEW1, is a fully modified and re-engined Boeing 707-320B aircraft. Mission endurance is approximately 11 to 15 hours (over 5,000 nm), although this can be extended by air-to-air refuelling when necessary. The normal crew complement of 18 comprises four flight-deck crew, three technicians and an 11-man mission crew. The aircraft cruises between FL300 and FL430, and its Northrop Grumman AN/APY-2 high-performance, multimode lookdown radar (rotodome), housed in the black radome, is able to separate airborne and maritime targets from ground and sea clutter. The aircraft is also used for weather recon detail dispatched world-wide, and can survive extreme weather conditions including hurricane force winds at low altitude.

File Description:
This version of the AN-225 is almost too accurate, yet as easy to fly as the real "Dream" it was designed to be. Everything has been incorportated in this version in order to make this the best of the best AN-225 versions for FSX ever produced. This work required well over 50 flight test hours and thousands of dollars worth of research and skill. It's all free, and offered for educational use. Anyone who has flown the previous versions will see a huge improvement in all aspects now offered in this fully refurbished model, based entirely on modern design data and aerodynamic details offered only recently. This model includes all factual performance, weight/balance, and aerodynamic details, and realistic thrust points with high turn radius wheel design. This model is absolutely realist in ever aspect.

File Description:
This version of the Boeing 757 is part of the U.S. Dignitary fleet of 5 aircraft of which only 2 are so modified as "B" models. All 5 can carry the Vice President, and when doing so the callsign is AIR FORCE TWO. Normally, this version is used for high altitude, long range missions without media attention. She is equipped for high altitude flights way beyond what a normal 757 can achieve due to higher cabin pressure and fortifications, as well as more powerful and efficient engines. Although the visual model presented is not so equipped in the real world, the engine/aerodynamic aspects for the C-32B have been fully employed within this model. In reality, this version is not painted with U.S. Colors, but is white.

| VC-25A (Air Force One) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
The VC-25A is a modified Boeing 747-200F used as a dignitary transport by the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, Andrews Air Force Base (KADF), Maryland. There are two twin sister aircraft with tail numbers 28000 and 29000. Both are used by the President of the United States (POTUS) and the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) and as a dignitary transport for high level personnel for special missions. When carrying the President, the call-sign is “Air Force Oneâ€, but otherwise uses a variety of call-signs when the President is not on-board. Each sister aircraft is nearly identical to the other, with all of the same accommodations. One can fly as a “Mask†when the President is on-board the other.
The aircraft is modified with many secret aspects, and is heavier at Empty Weight than a normal 747-200F because of this. However, she normally only carries 102 souls on board with enough supplies to last for any long range flight, so she operates at a lower weight than the normal 747-200F. Due to the fortifications employed within the design, her MTOW is lower, as well. The engines are a bit more powerful than normal, and have better fuel efficiency. She has specialized equipment on-board for communications, a weather/recon radar dome (not shown in this paint scheme), and missile/aircraft countermeasures if needed. The interior is almost silent due to the high pressure cabin structure and fortified frame, including bullet-proof windows.
With all of the above, she is still the most powerful, efficient, and the fastest 747 ever built.

File Description:
This aircraft is the advanced upgrade from the previous version. The paint is realistic. All authors credited, other than myself, are not involved with any of the engine/aerodynamic or detailed corrections. I even enhanced the parking data, callsign used, lighting effects, gear, MOI, weight & ballance, flaps and engine locations for realism. There are no known issues with this model as it stands, and it is now possible to easily achieve FL510 and cruise over 8,500 nm, even with 16X simulation speed activated using auto-pilot. This perfection is based on real world aero/engine dynamic data and formulas employed within the aircraft.cfg and .air files. Flight Tuning is no longer used in this model. There is no other FSX Falcon 7X available anywhere (Free or Payware) that includes all of this realism to my knowledge, but if there is, I have a twin brother from another mother out there somewhere. Don't be fooled. I don't expect any world-wide awards or the "Nobel FS Prize" for any of this, but your comments related to the results will be appreciated, and acknowledged. Please understand that this work required many hours of study and testing, and is offered free for Educational Purposes only. The results illustrate the realism of the Falcon 7X in almost every aspect imaginable, which is possible with all FSX aircraft when you know how and what is needed.
