| Stanford Torus Space Colony v1.0 |
|
File Description:
What will future space colonization realistically look like? What is it like to approach a rotating station almost 2km in diameter?
The Stanford Torus is based on a design created during a 10 week program in 1975 held at NASA’s Ames Research Center and Stanford University. The project participants considered how to create a practicable permanent colony in space using existing technology at minimum cost.
The habitat is over 1800m in diameter and spins at 1 rpm to provide 1g of pseudo-gravity.
Package includes a scenario to fly from the ISS up to a GEO rendez-vous with Stanford, as well as documentation on the station itself. I am looking for a texture artist to do the station justice, since my textures are pretty sad. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.
INSTALLATION: You need Vinka's spacecraft.dll to use this add-on. A link is provided in the documentation.
1. Unzip files into your Orbiter directory, preserving the directory structure in the zipfile.
2. Load up the Stanford scenario in the Stanford directory in the Orbiter start window.
3. Enjoy the trip!

| Houston Galveston Scenery Package v6.51-7.xxx |
|
File Description:
As promised, here are my Houston-Galveston Scenery Packs. I live in Houston and have been working on these areas for quite some time. Like all of us, we like to make our hometown airports as elaborate and as challenging as possible. Even tho these packs are in no way accurate, they are fun and interesting to fly around and site-see. Being the lazy person I am, no research was done and no claim to RL landmarks are implied.
I have added many objects to the airports and cities including terminals, hangers, buildings, parks, balloons, and other fun and interesting things. All of which were begged, borrowed or stolen from all the wonderful designers in the X-Plane Community such as Dave Spurlock, Christian Franz, Ted Davis, Robert Bunce, Tom Curtis, B. Brooks and all the others who have inspired me.
Like all my scenery packages, the additions to the citys and airports are purely fictional. The airports themselves are unaltered. I have enhanced "George Bush Intercontinental"(KIAH), "William P. Hobby"(KHOU), "Ellington Field Military Base"(KFLD) and "Scholes International" at Galveston (KGLS) airports. Look for the Johnson Space Center too.

| Lutselk'e CYLK in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lutselk'e is a village on the southern shore of the Great Slave Lake, at the eastern end and about 120 miles east of Yellowknife. The Hudson Bay trading company established a post there in 1925, and the current school opened in 1960. The population is in the region of 330. There is no road access, but the government runs a freight shipping service during the ice-free period of the Summer. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a runway of around 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 08-26 with PAPI at both ends and lit, with lights atop traffic cones. There are scheduled flights from Yellowknife by Air Tindi, included in the AI, as is a once a week freight flight by Buffalo Airways. You will need to have downloaded and installed my runway and taxiway lighting library from recent posts. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Wekweeti CFJ2 in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wekweeti is a small village in the Northwest Territories, around 120 miles north of Yellowknife and 100 east of Gameti, which was recently posted. It has a population of around 125. There is no all-weather road access and the village is reliant upon the airfield for supplies, along with an ice road in the winter months. The area is a complex collection of lakes and small rivers and the airfield is around 3 miles east of the village on a lake shore. The lit gravel runway of 3,400 feet with PAPI at both ends is aligned 307T-127T with T standing for "true" and not the unreliable magnetic heading in the Canadian northern domestic airspace. The airfield is served by Air Tindi from Yellowknife on an almost daily basis, included in the AI here along with some GA and a Thursday delivery by a Buffalo DC3. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| US Air Metal Fuse BAC 1-11 204AF (N1127J) |
|

File Description:
I am very proud to present this very detailed and realistic repaint of the BAC 1-11 204AF model by David Maltby in the classic US Air livery from the early 80's. This was one of the original jets flown by US Air. It flew side by side in their fleet with the B727, DC9 and 737-200. This repaint is the result of a major overhaul of the paintkit for this aircraft, and is very detailed and realistic. The many new details and hand repainted items include; custom metal fuselage, custom windows, custom tail textures, hand painted wheels, and also much needed night lighting and night textures. The US Air logo is also hand painted. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps. This repaint is dedicated to Lorne Jordan, a Canadian simmer who inspired this project and who helped Q/A this repaint so we didn't miss a detail. Thanks to the permission granted by of the gracious and talented David Maltby (creator of this aircraft model), this is a full installation package, complete with 2D panel, virtual cockpit and BAC 1-11 sounds. Please see README.TXT for installation instructions.

| Buckland PABL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Buckland is a village on a small river, around 45 miles east of Deering and 15 miles inland from the river mouth. Like Deering, the population of 420 live from fishing and the land. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 10-24 and 3,300 feet long with VASI at both ends. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local (mostly treeless) land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Bering Air flies into Buckland from Kotzebue and is included in the AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 505 and there will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airport (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

| Eastern Airlines Boeing 767-300ER (N705KM) |

File Description:
I am proud to present this SkySpirit 2010 V5 model of the Boeing 767-300ER Rolls Royce RB211 powered Eastern Airlines Whisperliner. This is a full package ready to fly.
This is a complete package for the Skyspirit Boeing 767-300ER in Eastern Airlines Whisperliner colors. N705KW is one of the 767-300ER's flying for the
2018 Eastern Airlines-Swift Air and I did this repaint as it is rumored that N705KW will get the heritage Whisperliner livery. Whether it does or not remains to be seen, but regardless we have it here now in FlightSim.
This package comes with default sounds and panel. It is highly suggested that you add a favorite 3rd party panel and sounds to this package to enjoy it properly.
I've also included my custom AES file for those of you that have AES Ground Support.
Since some Eastern aircraft had the American Flag and some didn't I've added those Flag textures as an option under the texture files eal_USA and have them added to the aircraft.cfg so you'll have both of them to fly as an option.
As always... Enjoy!!

| Lockheed C-130H |

File Description:
FS2004 Lockheed C-130H Hercules
This aircraft is built for FS2004. It should work with FS2002 without any problems, but I no longer support FS2002.
This package is configured with a default panel. It is intended for use with the custom panel made by Ken Mitchel. You must obtain the panel in a seperate download. If you have not done so, it is available on my site.
The base textures folder in this zip file contains base (unpainted) texture files for use in repainting.
Note that the aircraft supplied in this package is supplied as is. While I endeavor to correct problems with the aircraft, I make no guarantee that any problem real or perceived will be fixed. Suggestions for enhancements and fixes will be implemented solely at my discretion. Please don't waste my time with subjective "perceived" issues like "The nose is too round", "The tail is too small", "The wing is the wrong color", etc. I have made every effort to make the model as accurate as I am able and willing, and will not modify it further to fit anyone's personal specifications.

| FSX Metal GUI |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
I designed this for myself to darken the default User Interface for 2 reasons. I have bad eyes that are sensitive to bright objects on the screen, and I like to fly the simulator in the evening hours with the lights turned off in the room. I hope you like my end result.
I also added 2 bonus features. Instead of hearing the Windows/Internet Explorer click sound when you mouse click on a menu item, you now will hear the "Fasten Seatbelts" sound effect. Be sure to back up the original sound "checkc" in case you find the new sound annoying. Secondly, I have included 4 optional Aircraft Viewer images that give the selected aircraft a more airborne look. I will make switching these simple by adding them to the Generic Mod Enabler(JSGME) that I will include in the download.
The look is created using Diamond Plate and Polished Aluminum textures, and modifying the buttons with some more color.
This is Freeware, and I am giving permission to anyone that wants to create their own and upload to any site they wish. I do not wish that you have to mention my name in any credits.

File Description:
I am very proud to present this detailed repaint of the Project Opensky A330-343X, registration AZ-HQB, of Saudi Arabian Airlines. This is one of Saudi's first 4 343X models of the A330. All were delivered this year (2010) new from Airbus. Delivery of this airframe, registration HZ-AQB, was taken by Saudi Arabian on June 28, 2010. Saudi Arabian Airlines is the national airline of Saudi Arabia, based in Jeddah. It provides scheduled service to over 70 destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. This particular airframe has been recently flying to Istanbul (LTBA) from Jeddah (OEJN). This repaint has many custom textures. All windows are hand-painted, 3D with window shades. The night windows textures and other night textures are custom as well. Engine textures, engine fans, fuselage shading and tail textures are all custom. Also, the wheels and tires are custom and hand drawn. The main gear wheels are as real as I could get them. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps for best clarity and quality. This is a complete installation package; version 2004.8.3 of the Project Opensky A330-300 V2 model is included.
