File Description:
Official Douglas DC-6 / C-118 Liftmaster livery of the Italian Government, operated by the Italian Air Force - "31st Wing" for State Flight from 1976 to 1981 at Ciampino Airport - Rome.
From 1962 to 1976 it was operated by "Reparto Volo Stato Maggiore" (R.V.S.M.) in Ciampino Airport - Rome with a slightly different livery (You can dowload it in AVSIM Library).
In 1976 the "Reparto Volo Stato Maggiore" become 306th Squadron Flight which flows in the 31st Wing based always on Ciampino Airport.
So since 1976 the DC-6 change livery assuming that of the new 31st Wing.
In 1981 the last Douglas DC-6 was discontinued. For P3D, you must own the payware PMDG DC-6 Cloudmaster base package.

Polar Air Cargo (Interim Livery) (formaly British World Cargo) 747-87U(F) N856GT
PMDG 747-400 is required. This is a livery for the expansion -8i/F. FSX only
Cargo aircraft don't receive the same treatment as their PAX counterparts. Some, like
N856GT, wear "hybrid" liveries as they are transfered from one airline to another. Polar
Air Cargo, bought the 747-8F (N856GT) and the rest of the British Airways World Cargo
747-8Fs last year and have taken off the markings and decals of the previous carrier.
These planes, however, never recieved the new livery and now are flying a interim liveries
for Polar Air Cargo, sometimes operating as Atlas Air Cargo.

| Beechcraft 1900C Era Alaska |

File Description:
This is my second Era Alaska repaint release. The first one was for the "D" version of the B1900. Era Alaska also has the "C" version in their fleet, and this is based on their real world livery N575Q. In order to use these textures, you will need to own a copy of PMDG Express Beechcraft 1900C. Although this model was made for FS9, it works fine in FSX after a few modification provided by PMDG's website. In this package, I've given you the text entry you need to use it in FSX since that is what I use. If you choose to use them in FS9, just follow the format in your aircraft.cfg file and enjoy your flight.

| Spruce Goose for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 (hk-1/H-4 Hercules) |
|
File Description:
Spruce Goose v1.0 for X-Plane copyright (c) by Robert App, January 2003. History of the "Goose" - Officially designated the HK-1 (this project started out as a join venture between Hughes Aircraft and Kaiser) and later designated the H-4 Hercules after Kaiser was unable to work with Howard. It was and still remains the largest (physical dimensions wingspan and length) aircraft ever built, with the largest radial engines ever built by the West (28 cylinder, 3000 HP). The plane had to be constructed mainly of wood due to the shortage of strategic metals caused by WWII. The plane became known as the "Spruce Goose" or "Flying Lumberyard" despite the fact that the wood frame and skin were constructed mainly of laminated poplar; it also involved "sandwich" construction. The plane was flown briefly on a trial taxiing run but Hughes never allowed the plane to be flown again. Speculation has always been rampant that the design was flawed and the plane could not have met the original specification requirements. The X-Plane model is as accurate as is possible with limited plans available to me. The main wing is an X-Plane standard symmetrical high lift airfoil as opposed to the high lift asymmetrical foil section used in the actual plane. The main wing angle of attack has been adjusted to emulate the asymmetrical foil as closely as possible.
Flight Testing the Goose - I have spent many hours testing the plane on X-Plane which with few exceptions provides a very accurate flight model. The published landing speed (79 mph) pretty well verifies the takeoff speed of 52 to 55 knots (k/hr x 1.15 (approx.) = mph). In straight flight the plane is difficult to stall since the nose quickly drops and increases speed if a stall develops with a significant loss of altitude. The plane has a range on 14000 gallons of fuel and takeoff weight of 350,000 Lbs of well over 3000 nautical miles. San Diego to Wake Island via Midway Attol is a piece of cake with lots of fuel to spare at 350,000 lb GW. The plane is flyable at a GW of over 410,000 lb but climb rate is very sluggish (max 400-600 fpm) and loss of speed due to excessive side slip can cause a fatal stall, in straight flight the plane is difficult to stall. So far my conclusion is that with todays materials and jet engines (which may be a future project) this aircraft could probably be competitive in performance with todays planes. With aluminum alloys that were available during its construction its performance would probably have exceeded the initial requirements.

| Blairstown Airport (1N7), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles SW of Blairstown, New Jersey on 151 acres of land, Blairstown Airport is privately owned by J.D. Air Inc. and is home to a moderate number of small GA planes and gliders. This scenery is not completely up to date, as the MegaScenery Earth textures themselves are outdated. Missing are the added taxiway/parking lot north of the existing north taxiway as well as the second hangar area to the north that it leads to. Parking is available on the south tarmac but if that's all taken there is room just to the west in the taxiway offshoot. Also room on the grass, although stay south of the windsock to avoid interfering with glider operations. Glider pilots that wish to start on the grass, select either Runway East or Runway West. Fuel is available by stopping near the gas tank on the south tarmac.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview, the author has not been there in person.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New York 007. 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.

| Wide Sky Airpark Airport (JY31), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 03 miles NW of Bridgeton, New Jersey on 23 acres of land, Wide Sky Airpark Airport is a private turf field 2550' in length. There is no fuel available, but there is tiedown space by the main hangar in the middle of the field to the west. You can start in the parking spot there if you have a plane with 40' or less wingspan (collision with static aircraft is disabled so you can put a bigger plane there if you wish with no trouble). The windsock is not lit at night and is located atop the south end of then main hangar's roof. The field is hedged in to the east with bushes but they do not cause aircraft collisions. The runway is lit for night VFR operations. There is no hard surfaced runway so set your terrain mesh settings as high as possible to enjoy rolling around on bare bumpy terrain.

| CYSM - Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Smith is just north of the border between Alberta and Northwestern Territories, midway between Lake Athabasca to the southeast in (mostly) Saskatchewan (80 miles) and Great Slave Lake to the north west (90 miles). The runways all used to be larger, and while I don't know the history it looks as if it is ex-military and these are the remains of what were once 10,000 feet of asphalt. The main runway is now 11/29 and 6,000 feet long, and the secondary one is 1,800 feet of mostly gravel. There is an airline based at the field, Northwestern Air, and fuel (both 100LL and JA-1) is available at a self service point so long as you give it a credit card to read while you fill. The town of Fort Smith is two miles east of the airfield, on the bank of the Slave River and where there are some rapids that require a portage to get around them. Before aviation came along the river was a major route to the north and all those furry animals, which was why the Hudson's Bay Company established an outpost there in 1872. Today it has a population of 2,400 and the main activities are government administration of much of the Northwest Territories, education, and tourism.
