| Boeing B-17G "Sentimental Journey" N9323Z |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the FSX Wings of Power II Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, in the markings of the CAF Arizona Wing's B-17G "Sentimental Journey," N9323Z. "Sentimental Journey" rolled off the Douglas assembly line in late 1944, and was accepted by the Army Air Corp on March 13, 1945. Being delivered too late to serve in the European theater, the aircraft was assigned to the Pacific theater for the duration of the war. The aircraft served in the USAF until 1959 when it was put into storage. Within a few months the aircraft was acquired by the Aero Union Corporation of Chico, California and flew thousands of sorties against forest fires as a converted tanker. In 1978 the aircraft was donated to the newly founded Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force, and after a local contest the aircraft was named "Sentimental Journey." The decision was made to use the most famous pinup picture of WWII for the nose art, which of course was that of Betty Grable's most tantalizing. Over the years the aircraft has been brought back to its WWII configuration, complete with all turrets, crew positions, bombay, and markings of the 457th Bomb Group. The aircraft makes on average each year an amazing 60 airshow stops nation wide.

| Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 "Black 6" |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the Flight Replicas Bf-109G. This aircraft was fully restored to flying condition and operated for several years at Duxford and unlike every other flying 109G, Black 6 is a real "Augsburg Eagle". The aircraft was built in Leipzig in 1942 and saw brief service with JG 77 in Libya, flown by Lt. Heinz Ludemann. The aircraft, having been grounded due to damage, was captured by Bobby Gibbes and the RAAF with the allied push westward. It was Bobby Gibbes' plan to fly it back to Australia as a war prize but being that it was the first captured G model orders had it sent to Britain for RAF evaluation. The aircraft then was put into storage after the war, being brought out to the public from time to time - every September for Battle of Britain day. In 1991 it flew for the first time again since 1945. In 1997, while performing at Duxford, it was involved in an off-airport ground loop which caused major damage to the airplane but thankfully the pilot survived with very little injury. The aircraft was fully restored following the accident and now can be seen at the RAF Museum, Hendon.

| Thomas Browne Airpark Airport (61NJ), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles W of Glassboro, New Jersey, Thomas Browne Airpark Airport is a private turf strip 2000��80 feet. There is no hard-surfaced runway, which means you will be landing on terrain so it is recommended you set your mesh resolution as high as possible. Watch out for trees and buildings alongside and at opposite ends of the runway. Crop fields are planted to the south of the runway and border the runway. You won't crash if you run into them but it certainly won't put you in good favor with the field owners! Take caution to avoid the transmission line towers as they are not lit at night! Neither is the runway, for that matter, so daytime VFR operations only are recommended for this airfield.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview/aerial photos - the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 004. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.

| Basler BT-67 repaint textures for Royal Thai Air Force 46-158 in a subdued bluish-gray livery |

File Description:
FSX Basler BT-67 repaint textures for the real world Royal Thai Air Force 46-158.
For the wonderful Jahn-Fuernkaess-Metzger-Naegele BT-67, which you must
have previously installed in FSX. Having worn at least three different
liveries between 2004 and 2010 while in service with the Royal Thai Air Force,
this subdued dark bluish-gray version of 46-158 dates back to Aug. 26, 2004,
the day the photo that this repaint was based on was taken. Although painted
as close to the photograph's colors as my previous eye surgeries allow me to
perceive, I'm tending to believe that the aircraft is actually more gray than blue.
Anyway, the photo can be seen at Airliners.net by entering the photographer's
name, Sakpinit Promthep, into their search engine, so you be the judge! Rumor has it that this
airframe currently resides in pieces in a hangar at Wittman Regional in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, and now affectionately goes by the nickname "44 mag", although I
think I'd have to see that with my own eyes to believe it! Includes engine
exhaust smoke coordinates for all four exhaust stacks for those of you who like
smokey engines. Screenshots enclosed. Easy installation. By Tom Tiedman

File Description:
Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico N18.20.39 W66.45.09 also known as the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center,
National Center for Astronomy and the Ionosphere), is located about 15 km south-southwest of Arecibo, island of Puerto Rico.
It operates through Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (a US government agency). NAIC refers more specifically to the organization that directs both the observatory and the associated laboratories
and the offices of Cornell University. The observatory is equipped with a radio telescope consisting of a 305 meter diameter
single-aperture antenna, the largest in the world up to the entry into service, in September 2016, of the 500 meter FAST radio telescope, located in the province of Guizhou. in China (soon to be realized).
It is mainly used for three large research areas: radio astronomy, atmospheric physics (using both the radio telescope and the observatory Lidar function) and the radar observation of objects in the solar system.
The telescope received further international recognition in 1999, when it began collecting data for the SETI project.Important VFR point for approaching airport of Rafael Hernandez TJBQ and airport Eugenio Maria De Hostos TJMZ.
Within the downloaded package you will find readme files for scenery installation. Good fly VFR. Pasquale Marrulli.

| KNILM Royal Netherlands Indies Airways Douglas DC-5 'PK-ADB' |
|
File Description:
The Douglas DC-5 was a high performance, short range, feederliner quickly eclipsed by the Lockheed Lodestar. The only airline to proceed with an order for the DC-5 was KLM who purchased four for use into Amsterdam. However the invasion of Holland caused their DC-5s to be delivered equally to KLM in the Dutch West Indies and KNILM in the Dutch East Indies instead. By late 1941 all were in the Dutch East Indies, the two ex-KLM WI aircraft (PK-ADC and PK-ADD) retaining their KLM livery. In 1942 one was captured by the IJAAF. The three survivors escaped to Australia. They were soon in use with 21 sqn RAAF and Ansett-ANA supplying ANZAC forces in New Guinea. Impressed by the USAAF 1944-45 they were then designated Douglas C-110s. One returned to Ansett-ANA serving in New Guinea 1946-47 before being sold to New Holland Airways. The prototype was converted to KLM production standard and was based in Seattle as Bill Boeing's corporate VIP aircraft from April 1940. It was impressed by the USN for VIP transport duties in February 1942 becoming the only R3D-3 until its sale for scrap in January 1946. Textures only. Original textures by Wayne Tudor, revised by Maarten Brouwer.

| Mikonos and Ikaria Island Airports |
|
File Description:
FS2002 Mikonos LGMK and Ikaria LGIK of the Aegean sea in Greece. Two typical summer holiday destinations in Hellas. The scenery represents Mikonos and Ikaria Island Regional Airports. Several objects like trucks, houses, stones, fences, and proper photorealistic textures have been used to make this airport as real as it gets and help the scale perception of the pilot. Special care has been taken for night lighting. Ikaria, a mountainous, thickly forested island, perpetuates the myth of Ikarus and his fall into the sea near its south shores after his bold attempt to reach the sun with his waxen wings. Mikonos in the center of Aegean sea, has been one of the best keeper of traditional Aegean architecture and is well known for it's popular golden sandy beaches and ecstatic nightlife. It is called "The island of winds" and indeed it is. Most frequent North winds have no physical barrier, all the way from Northern Greece, to weaken them and the constant seabed from there helps the increase of wind's speed by the time it reaches Mikonos. Beware of steep rising terrain and the wind gusts and downdrafts on short finals. Use this scenery preferably tohether with the free Greek Mesh Scenery by Babis Perivolas.

| Watson Lake CYQH and CEJ9 in the Yukon Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Watson Lake is at 2,200 feet asl on the east side of the Rockies, in the Yukon Territories. The town is less than five miles north of the border with BC and is built around Wye Lake, just a few miles southeast of the much larger Watson Lake. Whitehorse is some 200 miles to the west, and Fort Nelson 220 miles to the east. The airport was built during WW2 and there remains one surviving original hangar, along with later additions. Unusually, the town of Watson Lake came into being because of the airport's existence, though with the closure of one mine that the airport used to serve and the serial closure of another (closed four times?) both the airport and the town (population 500) are in a downward spiral. The airport is 5 miles to the west of the town. There were two runways, but one is now closed and the remaining one is 08-26, 5,500 feet and 150 feet wide. There are two aprons, the northern one being half-used by CL 415 fire-fighting planes (included in the AI, along with Central Mountain Air). All the buildings for CYQH are modeled specifically, but the CJE9 shed is a guess.

| Exterior Enhancement Pack for the 737-700 NGX |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
**Revised March 20th 2012** After a lot of positive feedback from forum members, and some very constructive pointers and photos from Ryan (aka Tabs), I've revised the bumps to be a bit closer to a real-world appearance. So if you prefer a more exaggerated appearance (deeper lines, higher rivets) you may prefer the first set over this revision. A completely new set of spec files (for shine and reflection) and bump maps (for surface detail) to update the exterior of your PMDG 737-700 NGX. They can be used over any existing livery for the -700 model. The bump files are in 4096 res (default is 1024) so they will use more memory, but have no noticeable effect on performance on my low-end core2 duo system aside from a slightly longer loading time. The package includes two folders; one for the specular files and the other for the bump maps. Simply drop them into the aircraft texture of your choice and you're ready to fly. More detailed instructions for installation are included. The PMDG NGX base pack and 600/700 model expansion are required. Additional before and after photos are posted in the PMDG NGX support forum.

Special Thanks to VRS for making such an awesome aricraft to fly in FSX! The scenery I used in the promo pics (NAS FALLON B-17 weapons range) is courtesy of "Blue Sky Scenery".
On a personal note, painting airplanes for FSX has become a hobby of sorts for me during these difficult Covid-19 times, and it is my hope that my latest "Labor of Love" brings some happiness to your day!
Kick the Tires and Light the Fires!
