| 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!

| Sikorsky S-72 RSRA |
|
File Description:
he RSRA ( Rotor Systems Research Aircraft ) was developed by Sikorsky for NASA and the Army. Configured with rotor, wings and auxiliary jets, the RSRA allows testing of new rotor concepts at speeds up to 300 knots. It can fly like a helicopter with a wing and jets, or as a fixed-wing aircraft without a rotor. The RSRA was a unique pure research aircraft developed to fill the void between design analysis, wind tunnel testing, and flight results of rotor aircraft. The joint NASA/Army project began in December of 1970, first flight on October 12, 1976 with the first of two aircraft arriving from Sikorsky to NASA on February 11, 1979. The aircraft was designed to investigate the concepts involved with stopping the main rotor in flight, with the large blades then providing aerodynamic lift assistance to the stubby conventional wings extending from the lower fuselage. This concept gave the aircraft the vertical flight stability of a helicopter, and the horizontal cruise capability of a conventional aircraft.
The filght Simulator model is VTOL, so READ NOTES BEFOREFLYING, or you'll encounter some problems to fly it...

FSX PIA Boeing 747-367, registration AP-BGG. Pakistan International Airlines B747-367 Megatop Jumbo, AP-BGG, titled "Kaghan - Mountain Paradise". Contains photoreal tail, accurately placed titles and door surround repainted to match the actual airplane. Engines repainted with large yellow stickers on the left side of the casing to match the actual airplane. Being one of the later model 747-300 aircraft to roll off the assembly line, AP-BGG has a different style wingroot and no wingtip antennas as compared to other classic 747s, and the relevant model has been included. Repainted on the Project Open Sky 747v4 Advanced model. Contains ground service vehicles, stairs, tow truck, catering trucks, luggage loaders and containers painted in standard PIA colors. Luggage containers specially repainted to give a more realistic look. Registration of the aircraft painted on the bottom of the left wing, as on the real airplane. Panel updated to include utility gauge and tow truck gauge. Updated model and fde. Complete pack, requires no external downloads. Textures in high quality 32 bit format to conserve quality.

File Description:
FS2004 PIA Boeing 777-240ER. Pakistan International Airlines PIA B777-240ER v2, registration AP-BGK, utilizing Project Open Sky 777-200 v2 model. It wears PIA's new livery, which will now be re-introduced to the entire PIA fleet in place of the provincial tail designs. While the basic livery remains the same, there is a golden stripe now under the green one, and the tail wears a large version of the Pakistani flag. The engine casings have the Urdu PIA logo on them. Part of the livery was to have 'PAKISTAN' written on the belly, but this aircraft does not have that yet and so it has not been added to the repaint to keep it as close as possible to the real thing. Features full POSKY virtual cockpit, with latest updates and custom sound. Contains ground service vehicles, tow truck, catering trucks, stairs, luggage loaders and containers custom painted in standard PIA colors. Updated .mdl and FDE. Complete pack, requires no external downloads. Textures in high quality 32 bit format. Repaint by Irfan Khan, Abdullah Rahman and Ahmed Ahsen exclusively from Virtual PIA.

| Alps LOD10 Topo Mesh - Austria and Italy |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Yet another terrain mesh package of the European Alps? Well, this one is different in that it is NOT primarily based on the Shuttle Radar (SRTM) data with their incomplete coverage of prominent peaks and ridges. Instead, most of the source data for this project were developed over many months by Jonathan de Ferranti using detailed topographic maps. While Jonathan's work is unrelated to flight simulation he kindly gave me permission to compile his data for use in FS. The result is a wonderful improvement in detail and accuracy over any existing SRTM- or DTED-based mesh file, freeware or commercial (a link to an extensive set of screenshot comparisons is included in the read-me file).
I've compiled the source data at LOD10 (38-m) grid resolution because the coverage area is smaller than most existing mesh files. Thus, anyone can use these files without having to first uninstall their current mesh set. Also included are LOD9 and LO8 buffer mesh files. Note: if you own Austria Professional 2004 with its 1:50,000 scale terrain mesh then you don't need this package!

| !UPDATED! Enerjet Summer 2010 |

File Description:
Project: UPDATED Enerjet Summer 2010 Flightplans (2 aircraft)
Date: 14 September 2010 (very late release)
Enerjet is a new charter airline based in Canada. It operates to popular destinations from Canada and their
base at Calgary International Airport, Vancouver - Vancouver International Airport and Toronto - Pearson International Airport.
Currently Enerjet operates two Boeing 737-700w aircraft for Suncor Energy on a long-term contract transporting their employees to the
Oil Sands projects. Also, Sunwing/Signature Vacations flights for summer from Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta and
Cancun. To fill out the flight plans I have added some sun destinations which were previously served by now defunct carrier
Skyserice. Enerjet was one of the carriers which was selected to finish out their summer flights.
*** I highly recommend you download and install my "Suncor Energy CRJ 900 Flightplans and Oil Sands Airfields AFCAD2s" found on Avsim - suncorenergycrj900_winter_2008-2009.zip
The flightplans use my AFCAD2s for the following private airfields:
AF2_CFG6 - Fort McKay/Firebag Aerodrome, Firebag River, Alberta
Again a "big" thank you to Darren Belanger for providing the airport charts for these airfields and the repaints for Enerjet - enerjet_737w_dtb.zip

File Description:
Here's another Dash-8 especially for the Icelandic simmers out there or those who prefer the challenge of simming the skies and airports of the northernmost latitudes. This is one of two (2) Dash 8-106's flown by Air Iceland (Icelandic: Flugfelag Islands) and bears registration TF-JMB. Flugfelag Islands, a subsidiary of Icelandair Group, is a regional airline with bases at Reykjavik Airport and Akureyri Airport. It operates scheduled service to destinations in Iceland and Greenland, as well as the Faroe Islands. I want to give due credit to and thank Elmar Voigt, who inspired this project and repaint and worked with me to get every detail of it as realistic as possible. Some of those details include the text 'flugfelag.is' on the bottom of the fuselage (just like the real aircraft) and a tug painted in Air Iceland/Flugfelag Islands colors with their logo on the doors. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mips for maximum quality. This is a textures only package; you must have the Dreamwings Design Dash8 Q-100 model available here at AVSIM.
