| T-38 Trainer Update |
|
File Description:
Required: fsd_t382.zip which includes all aircraft covered in this update. Also recommended is capc234e.zip for a good 2 engine panel, after you figure out how to install it. These dynamics correct problems with the T-38, and once installed the aircraft flies very close to that of the real aircraft. Weight and balance have been corrected for real-world compliance, and to help Simmers recreate what NASA Pilots learn in this aircraft. Long-distance flights are possible, and high altitude approach to strips at high speed are also included in the text. Updated flight Dynamics by: Douglas E. Trapp, Flight Instructor, [email protected]

SectionF8 F-86E US Air Force 'Frank Borman'
This F-86E (N186FS/47-1461/FU-461/cn 1461) is owned by Ed Shipley and was formerly owned by NASA astronaut, Air Force Colonel, and former CEO of Eastern Airlines Frank Borman. The paint scheme of this F-86 is a combination of two F-86 liveries which Frank Borman flew at the 3595th Combat Crew Training Wing and the USAF Fighter Weapons School. Based on original textures by Jan Visser, this texture set requires the base F-86E package available from the SectionF8 homepage: www.sectionf8.com. Installation instructions are included.

| SpaceHAB Research Double Module (RDM) v3.0 |
|
File Description:
This addon reproduces the SpaceHAb RDM that was the main research facility during STS-107. The SpaceHAB RDM made its first flight on STS-107 but it was lost when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up over the north-central area of Texas. The SpaceHAB RDM was developed by SpaceHAB Inc. for NASA to provide modern microgravity research facilities to fly on the Space Shuttle. The SpaceHAB RDM measures 4.5 m in width, 3.3 m in height and 11 m in length. It is so long because it uses an external airlock to provide access to the module as it is located in the payload bay.

| Skylab 2 Mission |
|
File Description:
The Skylab space station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA
Kennedy Space Center by a huge Saturn V launch vehicle, the moon
rocket of the Apollo Space Program. Sixty-three seconds after liftoff,
the meteoroid shield--designed also to shade Skylab's workshop
--deployed inadvertently. It was torn from the space station by
atmospheric drag. This event and its effects started a ten-day period
in which Skylab was beset with problems that had to be conquered
before the space station would be safe and habitable for the three
manned periods of its planned eight-month mission.

Launch Site: Cape Canaveral . Launch Complex: LC39B. Launch Vehicle:

Epic repair mission which brought Skylab into working order. Included
such great moments as Conrad being flung through space by the whiplash
after heaving on the solar wing just as the debris constraining it
gave way; deployment of a lightweight solar shield, developed in
Houston in one week, which brought the temperatures down to tolerable
levels. With this flight US again took manned spaceflight duration
record.
When the meteoroid shield ripped loose, it disturbed the mounting of
workshop solar array "wing" two and caused it to partially deploy.
The exhaust plume of the second stage retro-rockets impacted the
partially deployed solar array and literally blew it into space.
Also, a strap of debris from the meteoroid shield overlapped solar
array "wing" number one such that when the programmed deployment
signal occurred, wing number one was held in a slightly opened
position where it was able to generate virtually no power.
In the meantime, the space station had achieved a near-circular orbit
at the desired altitude of 435 kilometers (270 miles). All other
major functions including payload shroud jettison, deployment of the
Apollo Telescope Mount (Skylab's solar observatory) and its solar
arrays, and pressurization of the space station occurred as planned.
Scientists, engineers, astronauts, and management personnel at the
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and elsewhere worked throughout
the first ten-day period of Skylab's flight to devise the means for
its rescue. Simultaneously, Skylab--seriously overheating--was
maneuvered through varying nose-up attitudes that would best maintain
an acceptable "holding" condition. Because of the loss of the
meteoroid shield, however, this positioning caused workshop
temperatures to rise to 52 degrees Celsius (126 degrees F). During
that ten-day period and for some time thereafter, the space station
operated on less than half of its designed electrical system, in the
partially nose-up attitudes, was generating power at reduced
efficiency. The optimum condition that maintained the most favorable
balance between Skylab temperatures and its power generation
capability occurred at approximately 50 degrees nose-up.
The crew rendezvoused with Skylab on the fifth orbit. After making
substantial repairs, including deployment of a parasol sunshade which
cooled the inside temperatures to 23.8 degrees C (75 degrees F), by
June 4 the workshop was in full operation. In orbit the crew conducted
solar astronomy and Earth resources experiments, medical studies, and
five student experiments; 404 orbits and 392 experiment hours were
completed; three EVAs totalled six hours, 20 minutes.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Lockheed L049 Constellation in the colors of 48-613 "Bataan". It was delivered to the USAF as a C-121A and was used in the Berlin Airlift. It was the personal aircraft of General MacArthur between 9/1950 and 4/1951 and named Bataan. It then served as a VIP aircraft until 1965. In 1966 it went to NASA who used it as N422NA until 1970, when it was declared surplus. It went to the Planes of Fame museum in Valle, AZ, where it was displayed as Bataan and is currently in Chino for restoration. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

| Canadian Rockies LOD 8 Mesh |
|
File Description:
As many of you know, NASA and the JPL have recently released 3 arc second (90 meter) elevation data for most of North America. The enclosed bgl file is intended to display the data more or less as it is, covering the Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks.
Many people are probably curious about the new data, and this project has been an attempt to satisfy that curiosity in a spectacular area so far unpublished on the internet.
The data yields scenery in FS 2002 that far surpasses the default scenery. The area is also well visited by many people from around the world so I expect that this terrain will be recognizable to more than a few.

File Description:
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division. The SR-71 served with the U.S. Air Force from 1964 to 1998. A total of 32 aircraft were built; 12 were lost in accidents, but none lost to enemy action.
Included are multi lod AI models, for the different versions of the aircraft. Individual repaints for all the Blackbirds, including later NASA. Different tail art was applied to the Blackbirds over the years, a selection made it to these textures.
