| EGXJ - RAF Cottesmore - Rutland, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Cottesmore (ICAO EGXJ) is a former Royal Air Force station in Rutland, England, situated between Cottesmore and Market Overton.
The Stationed opened on 11 March 1938 and was used mainly for training, and the first squadrons were equipped with Vickers Wellesley aircraft, but soon converted to Fairey Battles. Later RAF Bomber Command took over the airfield, again as a training station, flying Handley Page Hampdens. These units remained in residence until a few days before the outbreak of war in 1939 when they were sent to RAF Cranfield to serve as a pool providing replacements for combat losses. Their place at Cottesmore was taken by Nos. 106 and 185 Squadrons, moving in from RAF Thornaby with Hampdens. However, with the outbreak of war, the aircraft and crews were sent to locations in the north and west, as enemy air attacks were expected over the southern half of England. As these never materialised, the Hampdens returned in the spring of 1940 and No. 185 Squadron became the Hampden operational training unit, No. 14 Operational Training Unit RAF.
RAF Cottesmore's Hampdens' first trespass into hostile airspace was a leaflet dropping operation over northern France. In October 1940, 106 Squadron moved to RAF Finningley while No. 14 OTU remained training crews for Bomber Command, its Hampdens and HP.53 Herefords being replaced by Vickers Wellingtons in 1942. Training continued for three years and three months until August 1943 when No. 14 OTU moved to RAF Market Harborough.
In early December 2009, it was announced the station would close due to funding cut-backs, in part to help pay for additional helicopters for British operations in Afghanistan.
In 2010, No. 4 Squadron RAF disbanded, with No. 20 Squadron RAF re-badging as No 4 (Reserve) Squadron.
The station became a satellite to RAF Wittering on 31 March 2011 with a civic parade and flypast to mark the disbandment of No 1 Sqn RAF, 800 NAS, 801 NAS and JFH.
In July 2011 Defence Secretary Liam Fox announced plans for it to be the airfield for one of five of the Army's Multi-Role Brigades. In April 2012 it was renamed Kendrew Barracks after Major General Sir Douglas Kendrew.

| Lockheed L1011 in the Thai Sky livery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Re-upload. Thai Sky airline is still operating the venerable Lockheed L-1011 to this day. Most of its routes are out of Bangkok to points throughout South East Asia although I occasionally see them leaving Chiang Mai Int. airport in the north of Thailand. The model is by Mike Stone. The wings, pylon, and engine textures are completely new to this model and better represent the look of the real aircraft. All textures contain a mix of 32 bit 888-8 and DXT3 formats, to insure clarity with minimal loss of frame rates plus custom alphas for realistic reflections. I recommend using the REAL Rolls Royce RB211 soundset from Skysong Soundworks and any L1011 panel by Ken Mitchell which are both available on Avsim. Enjoy !!!

| 3 Herons - part 2: De Havilland Heron 2B Morton Air Services |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The De Havilland Heron must be the smallest four engine airliner in the world! And it can take off and land almost anywhere. This, the second in my Three Herons series, represents the Mark 2B variety with the luxury of retractable undercarriage giving improved performance. This is G-AOGO - one of nine Herons that served the airline for many years on charter work and scheduled services to the Channel Islands, West Wales and Holland from Croydon (initially) and Gatwick Airports. This package includes a high detail panel featuring many new gauges. As these gauges are common to all three in this series, these have been placed in a separate download herongg.zip. See also 3h-rnupd.zip. [File re-uploaded at request of AVSIM]

| FSX Universal FMC Panels sound package replacement voice sounds |
|
File Description:
This is a set of replacement sounds for the payware JSGPanels products, specifically the JSG Universal FMC + Sound package, although I believe it will also work with any of the JSG panels with sound. It certainly works with the new JSG 787 panel just released.
These sounds replace the French voice used in the JSG packages with a neutral-toned American English voice. They use a good-quality 'automated' type voice. The French voice that comes with the packages (that of their creator, Gérard, I believe) is pleasant, but I found it a little hard to understand at times, and also sometimes it seemed rather odd to always be receiving notifications in such a Gallic manner.

All these fighters armed the E.B.A.'s 21st Fighter Squadron and operated from Ioannina's airport.
Complete aircraft. The original model, created by Thicko Bielat and Morton (panel), features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, spinning wheels and so on; navlights added by M.Villa. Two R.H.A.F. (E.B.A.) liveries. Completely new weathered textures by Manuele Villa.

| BAe Harrier GR3 ZD670 1417 Flight, Belize |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my rendition of ZD670 with tailcode "3A" flown by 1417 Flight Belize (British Honduras) circa 1987. Modifications include panel lines, rivets, squadron badge on flying suit, changed colour of helmet, changed number on GPU and added new bump & spec maps (where needed).
There are however certain limitations with the texture mapping, for example the rear section of the main fuselage is only shown once in the paintkit, so the camouflage pattern is mirrored. One of the flaps is also mirrored above and below the wing,so all camouflage using Light Aircraft Grey undersides aren't shown correctly. The fuel tank has the same problem as certain sections are also mirrored. The camera was only mounted on the port side of the nose,not port and starboard.
