File Description:
These are the files that I talked about in the Prepar3d forums. I created these objects for Fs9, then upgraded them to the scenery SDK for FSX. They were created 10 years ago in GMAX, and I have used them successfully ever since in Prepared 1.4 as well.
For some reason the individual farmhouse and other objects that I created are not showing up in Prepar3d version 2.0.
That's where you guys come in! These files are free to use in anyway you want as long as proper attribution is given, but, I would like you guys who have both Prepar3d 1.4 and 2.0 to try them out in both and report back to me as to whether you have the same problems that I do. That's your only fee. And I'd like you guys to give it a shot in both, or all four( I am not sure that they will work in FS9 anymore, but try it out. Unfortunately I can't recompile my FSX SDK Files back to FS9 if it doesn't work).
What's included:
1. Photo real scenery of Barbourville, 10 miles to the north west of stinking Creek where we live, and;
2. Photo real scenery of the farm area and stinking Creek, upon which I have placed my GMAX objects;
A. The farm house.Carnes Farm From the Bridge at 500 AGL.jpg
B. The barn, shed and the RV in back of the farmhouse.
C. A two-story long structure the top of which is an apartment but the bottom of which is a re-creation of Mama Carne's store, along with all the real wood floors shelves and original contents.. It is also o n Google earth in 3-D as it is here with further description .
... A little note on Gmax.. Mama Carne's store was one the first structures that I built in Gmax. It was just a box. Later, I added the true architectural features that you see including the steps and rails which took about as long to create as it would have to Saw and fit and hammer the real rails, risers and steps.
D. K-6, my little 2300 foot strip for runways 03 and 21. It has VOR - (117.55), ILS(110.1), and NDB(222).
E. Gerald Bingham's house, 1/4 mile up Warriors Path North from us.( mostly dirt road with gravel topping).
F. Dewitt Baptist Church.
Off property Knox county
G.Escoe's Store and Post Office complete with great prices for gas at the included pumps.

H. Rex allen's killer corner...sheds and farm equipment on the sharpest bend on Stinking Creek...my son went off it with a flat tire, unscathed, but more than several have lost their lives on that curve... there may be several iterations of the sheds...just delete or rename the wrong ones...I was experimenting with ModelConverterX, Arno Gerretsen's wonderful model and object scenery tool.
I. sitting on top of the Barbourville Photo real scenery Barbourville PhotoReal over the shopping center.jpg is the Barbourville P3D Shopping Center2.jpg shopping center all the stores and all the storefronts ... it's on 25 E. as you head into Barbourville.
Recreated, is the entire shopping center with the now outmoded Wal-Mart sign. Probably my magnum opus.
note on the Gmax scenes.
All of the scenery was either directly measured and if not practical for a such a long measuring device, walked off, as in the Stinking Creek Bridge and shopping center. All of the objects were then photographed, in 360° where possible and saved as texture for inclusion in the Gmax model.
Enjoy!
...oh... how do you get there? Wellllll.... situate yourself at Middlesboro (1a6), and tune your Nav radio to K-69's VOR, 117.55, take off and climb to 3500 feet...grinnnnn

File Description:
Version 2.0 covers landclass across the entire greater Houston area, with a large increase in LOD. This version significantly tightens up and improves the landclass from version 1.0, and adds a vast amount of scenery objects that brings the Bay Area-KEFD area into the modern era. This improves and adds a highly accurate runway 17 approach with accurate placement of buildings and scenery around the year 2011-modern day. In addition, includes several new files including a new airport/helipad via Houston Clear lake regional airport, T41 La Porte Municipal and surrounding shipping ports, Kemah Boardwalk, and a giant improvement to Johnson Space Center Houston. Rundway 35 and Runway 22 landclass is significantly increased, and more accurate as well. You can fly an accurate VFR approach or set up an ILS for any one of KEFD's runways with ease with this improvement.List of Version 2.0 additions and changes: - I added a ton of scenery objects and tightened up the landclass at Johnson Space Center Houston- NASA Control Center--- Added Talon Park with T38s (via static objects)--- Added Gemeni V rocket and 747 for the shuttle transporter--- And a whole bunch of vegetation, new buildings, and tour buses.- Added Kemah boardwalk and several boat docks- Removed a TON of highrise textures and replaced with medium and large city suburb landclass.- Added Clear Lake regional Hospital with helipad and surrounding scenery by Walter Reed Park- Added El Jardin or "Bayport Container port" with several scenery objects and significantly tightened up landclass.-- Looks great when setting up ILS approach for RWY 22- Tightened up Bay Area BLVD landclass, "adding" University of Houston Clear Lake"-- UHCL was semi already present, just made it more pronounced.- Made Red Bluff road landclass super recognizable!-- Red Bluff road is used to set up VFR approach and or field break for RWY 22 and RWY 17 R.----- Its common to see private jets and the USAF doing a break along Red Bluff road.- Added First Baptist Church, and water tower to Pasadena Convention center- Made Fairmont Parkway pronounced with landclass- Added Houston Port Authority at Morgan's Point--- Another Landmark for the RWY 22 ILS approach, NASA religiously uses this to line up the 10 mile ILS.- Tightened up landclass at Village Grove East and along Fairmont Parkway- Added a TON of scenery objects and landclass corrections for approach of RWY 17 L and 17 R.---- Added Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart Super center, Guitar center etc.---- added South Main Baptist Church--- Bondy Jr High, Turner Elementary, and Pasadena Memorial High School--- Added Saint Luke's Hospital--- Added Hampton Inn Suites and HCA rehab hospital--- Added a ton to the container facility behind best buy and storage facility--- Added smaller churches on RWY 17 approach--- Added a ton of scenery at the base of RWY 17 R, i.e., concrete plant, containers, trucks-- Added gas stations on the corner of beltway 8 and genoa red bluff-- Significantly changed and tightened up landclass at the base of RWY 22 and RWY 17 L and 17 R-- Made several roads and Beltway pronounced------ This decision looks AWESOME at night, really adds demarcation to the roads.**All of this makes the RWY 17 approach super recognizable** RWY 22 approach landclass is much more accurate.- Significantly changed and tightened up landclass near southbelt ellington and interstate 45.- Added Grace Church-- I wanted to do San Jacinto College south, but seemed over kill at that point.- SIGNIFICANTLY tightened up landclass for RWY 35 approach and near baybrook mall.-- Along I45- Added TDECU stadium at the University of Houston Main Campus---- So you can practice flybys for Cougar games!- Added the Battleship at San Jacinto Monument- I also "borrowed" T41 La Porte Municipal's tower camera to make a SWEET view of KEFD.- I included landclass for Sealy Texas this time, as well as my significant enhancements of Austin, Texas greater area as well (optional, but recommended!)---------------------------------------------------------------------------Version 1.0 originally added:- Added the Johnson Space Center Houston, which is now greatly enhanced and blended.- San Jacinto Community College-Central- Pasadena Convention Center- Pasadena Water Treatment Facility- NASA Bouncy Lab- Pasadena Shopping center, now greatly enhanced and blended.- Baybrook Mall and other shopping spots.- Significant Landclass improvements across the entire greater Houston Area File also includes landclass and scenery improvements for the greater Austin, Texas Area (optional), KIAH, KDWH, and Sealy, Texas. Each of these projects combined covers roughly 15,000 square miles of landclass improvement. Allowing you to fly entirely from Houston to Austin, or Houston to San Antonio in accurate landclass. -Enjoy!DJN

| B-2A Spirit Stealth Bomber |

File Description:
The B-2A Stealth Bomber is the most sophisticated aircraft on the planet. She is essentially a “Flying Wing†platform with no V-Tail, and is controlled by pre-programed flight computers stationed in various positions within the crew cabin and wings. There is one main computer that controls the aircraft, with two redundant back-up computers assigned to it in case of failure. All additional computers are assigned to functions involving flight control, system monitoring, data communications, and radar. Engine and Aerodynamic effects are controlled by these computers which serve several actuators and ailerons, including the spoilerons, which further compensate for the lack of a V-Tail. In theory, and because of these computers, the aircraft is “Stall-Proofâ€. The only way it can stall is if the computers fail. There is no way she can be flown without the computers active. The REAL aircraft does almost everything based on pre-programed data, other than taxi to the runway (although this is also possible to program). Before each flight, the Mission is designed and then assigned to the Mission Flight Box (Portable Computer) which is then carried by the Commander to the aircraft, and the data from the box is “transferred†to the main on-board computers. Because of this, the B-2 cannot be flown until the box is ready for the mission, and pilots cannot simply jump in and fly her, with the exception that the data is transferred via satellite. Everything is pre-planned, and this takes several hours. Once the data is on-board, the taxi can begin. When lined-up on the runway, all the pilot needs to do is push a button or three. Everything else is computer controlled until landing. The aircraft CAN be flown manually with basic data inputs into the main computer systems, but even in that case it is not conventional. If a pilot wants to turn right, he sets the data to turn to a certain degrees of heading. The same with climb and descent, speed increase or decrease. A pilot cannot over-ride the computers in any case, so steep banks, climbs, or descents cannot be forced. There is a lot of space for the two member crew within the cockpit, but there is also a space reserved for one observer. This additional seat is known as “Suicide Position†because there is no ejection seat for that observer. In the event of a mishap, the observer can try to bail-out through the ejection hatches after the pilots, or can try the exit ramp door, or the bomb bay as an exit route. The odds of escape for the observer are very small, but he has a parachute as reassurance. Otherwise, what the crew does during missions is only a guess, since they really don't have to do anything unless an alarm goes off. Since the plane flies so smooth, we can only imagine what sort of things they may dream-up to entertain themselves during a long flight. High altitude flights are conducted at night mainly due to the obvious contrail such a flight will exhibit during the day with such hot engines. The engines are encased in a heat absorbing shield material (still exhaust exists), and the rest of the plane is coated with Radar absorbant material, with the additional low profile effect of the aircraft design itself. If it can be seen by the ground or a fighter, it can be attacked by fighters or the ground. During daytime flight they will stay below the contrail level, and monitor the radar systems in preparations for counter-measures. If a fighter can visually observe them, the fighter may be able to shoot them down with bullets from behind, but not likely with missiles because of the sophisticated counter-measures available. On Radar the aircraft appears the size of a pigeon, until about 8 to 10 miles away, which would be too late to counter from the ground, so most attacks are either done at night or during the day at very low altitude. Upon landing the aircraft is automated down to about 200 feet AGL, when the pilot takes command. All she/he does at this point is allow her to glide down and contact the runway, and retard the engines. Brakes are used to slow, then the computers are turned off, and the pilot can control the throttles, nose gear, and brakes. The Commander watches for obstructions, mainly, and communicates with the tower and ground crew. Everything in this model has been reconfigured to meet realistic standards, without any tricks or flight tuning, and following real world aerodynamic principals and available data, including MOI. The panel requires study before use, but very realistic. The sounds are very authentic. There is no other model offered anywhere that compares to what you have now available in front of you. Please read and study the Readme.txt file within the main folder before attempting to fly this 2.2 Billion Dollar aircraft. Yes, that's correct ... $2,200,000,000 each!
