| F4U Corsair |
|
File Description:
F4U Corsair for x-plane 6.4 to 6.6 - With its huge propeller (13'-4" diameter) and 2000 + HP engine it requires a lot of skill to just get this bird into the air. The torque on the plane is so high that a fair amount of left stick is required to keep the plane from rolling on takeoff. To handle all of this horsepower and keep the landing gear as short as possible the solution was to "crank" the wing giving the corsair its unique appearance. Visibility during takeoff and landings is terrible due to the long nose. Carrier landings have to be made by turning into the landing alignment. The plane is decorated in the skin of 86 where "Pappy" Boyington of the Black Sheep squadron was photographed before his last mission. In the Pacific pilots did not fly any specific plane as they did in the European theater but flew whatever was ready to go. If you look very closely you older simmers may recognize Robert Conrad who played Pappy Boyington in the TV series about the Black Sheep.

File Description:
Indian Air Force Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-27 Bahadur. I present a comprehensive AI traffic model and texture package for this classic (and still-serving) Russian multi-role fighter. The MiG-27, with just under 1,100 built, was a follow-on production variant of the MiG-23BN ground-attack version. The Flogger-D (and later -J), nicknamed the "Crocodile" for its flattened nose, was and still is a dedicated close air support and short-range strike/interdiction aircraft, comparable to the SEPECAT Jaguar. The MIG-27 has served in multiple conflicts in Europe and Asia. The MiG-27 entered service in 1975, was eventually operated by 5 countries, and is still in service in 3 of them. An original 8-LOD model brings this aircraft to the flightsim world. This package contains the MiG-2UB Flogger-C and HAL-assembled MiG-27M/ML Bahadur in a current-use stand-alone AI model/repaint package; with 16 models and 122 repaints. Original aircraft model, afterburner effects, flight dynamics, and textures by Michael Pearson. Please read included documentation for credits and disclaimers.

| 1F2 - Plateau Sky Ranch - Edinburg, NY |
|
File Description:
Here is an improved version of the stock Plateau Sky Ranch. This is a privately owned field, open to the public. It consists of two grass runways and is located just north of the Great Sacandaga Lake.
In FSX, there were no buildings at all, so I added the hangar, and the hangars and planes that are located across a public road. I moved both runways because, with UTX, the road crossed both runways. Now the runways clearthe road. In FSX there were taxiways with hold-short lines, taxiway signs, etc, which didn't belong so they
were removed. I added a dirt driveway, parking area, fuel station, light pole, flag, and a couple of local houses and barn.
There is a lot of nice scenery in any direction from Plateau Sky Ranch. If you take off from runway 6 and follow the waterway you will come to the earthen Conklingville dam and the upper Hudson River.
I've added an extra file for UTX users called Boats.bgl. It will add several marinas and boats in correct locations on the Great Sacandaga Lake.

| Goodspeed Airport (42B) - East Haddam, Connecticut |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Goodspeed is a privately owned airfield in East Haddam, Connecticut that operates as a public access general aviation facility. The runway is a short 2120 feet and is carefully placed in a shoreline meadow of the Connecticut river. Surrounded by the dense forests and community, the airport is a tight approach, further hampered by the presence of the East Haddam Bridge, which sits under the runway 14 approach. The airport has limited parking facilities for transient aircraft, and it is not common for visiting aircraft to park in the grass in front of the "terminal". Hanger facilities are provided as well. Nearby is the famous Goodspeed Opera House, established back in the 19th century, the house still has operas other performances regularly.
Features:
-High Resolution Ground textures around airport;
-Accurate models of all airport buildings;
-Detailed taxiways and runways;
-Super HD grass and pavement;
-Custom aerial imagery for area, including autogen;
-Full seasonal textures (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter);
-Various "Easter Eggs";
-Deer (at dusk);
-Christmas Lights (During the Holiday Season);
-Night Textures;
-Runway Lights, obstruction lights;
-And much more!

| "Twenty Thousand Miles in a Flying-boat", by Sir Alan Cobham |
|
File Description:
In 1927, Sir Alan Cobham, pioneer of aerial refuelling and adventuring aviator, undertook a survey flight around Africa. He was accompanied by his wife, Gladys, and four crewmen: Worrall, the second pilot; Green and Conway, engineers; and Bonnett, cameraman.
The aircraft was a Short S.5 Singapore MkI, a twin-engined, single-fin, open cockpit version of the later four-engine, triple-finned, closed-cockpit Singapore MkIII which entered RAF service. There was only ever one MkI and when Cobham completed his journey it was returned to the Air Ministry, who had loaned it to Sir Alan.
The adventurers departed Rochester, on the River Medway, in the morning of 17th. November 1927 and returned in May of 1928,after a trip of over 20,000 air-miles and one which involved numerous trials and tribulations, delays and frustrations.
The book, published in 1931, provides in-depth detail of the flight so what I've done with this package is to create a blog that will provide updates for each day of the journey undertaken by Cobham and crew.

Remember...NO nav-aids or comms! :)

| F-15 S/MTD |
|
File Description:
This is my second release for the FS community.
The F-15 S/MTD is a STOL variant of the all-weather tactical
fighter F-15 Eagle. While S/MTD stands for Short take off and landing
/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator, the actual plane has F-18's elevators
as canard wings and a two-dimensional thrust vectoring, which gives the
aircraft an exceptionnal maneuvrability. Developed as a technology
demonstrator, the F-15 S/MTD carried out research for studying the
effects of vectored thrust and enhanced maneuverability. The NASA has
modified an F-15 Eagle by adding canard wings and by replacing the
original engines nozzles by two Pratt & Whitney P/YBBN 20 Degree
two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles. The F-15 S/MTD can also
perform the famous "Pugachev's Cobra" maneuver. The same aircraft would
later be used for the F-15 ACTIVE (with three-dimensional vectored
thrust) and for the F-15 IFCS (with three-dimensional vectored thrust
and with improved avionic). Features all the basic animations
(retractable landing gear, steering wheel, working suspension, working
surfaces plus thrust vectoring nozzles and moving engines inlets) and
afterburner. Sorry, no VC.

| Airfield Lights Toolbox (AFLT) |
|
File Description:
Airfield Lights Toolbox (or AFLT for short) is a comprehensive utility for the creation of standard airfield lights and light arrays for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Prepare3D v1.4 (collectively referred to as "FlightSim") airports. AFLT includes 3D models for the usual airfield light fixtures (runway/taxiway edge and centerline lights, runway threshold/end split lights, obstruction lights and beacons, PAPI/VASIs, wigwags and various approach light configurations) from which you should be able to create just about any airfield light arrangement. AFLT generates complete approach and threshold light arrays (including strobes) based on simple text configuration files. As well, pilot-control of airfield lighting is fully implemented.
The light sources in AFLT's light models are BGL_LIGHTs. Unfortunately, P3D Version 2 does not (yet) support BGL_LIGHTs and does not provide any alternative. (We had hoped that v2.1 would have fixed this, but "no joy". Hopefully, Lockheed Martin will see fit to rectify this deficiency.) Consequently, AFLT is only "P3Dv2-ready".
ALFT is not a library of airfield lights; it is a utility for creating object libraries and light arrays. A general knowledge of FlightSim scenery file organization and airport design is necessary for its use.

| Oahu Scenery Version 1 |
|
File Description:
This scenery sits on top of "MegaSceneryX - Hawaii - Honolulu and Oahu Island", SO IT REQUIRES THE MEGASCENERY X - Hawaii - Honolulu & Oahu Island" photo scenery from http://www.megascenery.com/
This is primarily an Autogen scenery with some custom developed objects for the coast of Oahu.
I used autogens from default FSX for the most part as well as the FSX Acceleration. IF you did not install acceleration, it should not be an issue. you would just not see some of the autogens from the acceleration package. I have also included some custom built GMAX Objects with this package. There is also an AFCAD file for a new fictitious Heliport that is included ("PMMH)".
This scenery package also includes a Mission called "Oahu Sacred Falls Landing". It is a short mission without any surprises or twists, yet I am confident many of you would find it interesting and very very challenging. But do not be discouraged at the difficulty of completing the mission. You may want to turn off crash detection to make it easier if you'd like. The fun is in the journey..right?
Lastly, I have included a fix for my MM_PHNGv1 scenery as part of this package.

| Republic F-105 Thunderchief (Part 1) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Republic F-105 Thunderchief. This is another Jake Burrus aircraft I have been able to bring to the flightsim world. Originally introduced in 1958 as a low-level nuclear weapons delivery aircraft in the middle of the Cold War, this aircraft became the backbone of conventional bombing during most of the Vietnam War. As a testament to the aircraft's role, the bravery of its pilots, and the ferocity of the North Vietnamese air defense network, nearly half of the 833 airframes were lost in combat operations. Due to the extensive combat use of the Thud, it had a relatively short service life, with limited use after Vietnam, until the aircraft's final retirement in 1984.
This is part 1 of 2 parts, and represents the use of the F-105B/D/F from 1958-1966; to include 16 model variants and 131 repaints; but includes all of the F-105B units including those used post-Vietnam by ANG and AFRES units. Aircraft model by Jake Burrus and Mike Pearson, master textures and repaints by Mike Pearson, flight dynamics by Mike MacIntyre. Please read the documentation contained in the file.

| Durban Island CWFB FOX-E DEW line station in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Durban Island is 40 miles north of Cape Dyer on the southeast corner of Baffin Island, and around 60 miles southeast of Qikiqtarjuaq (known as Broughton until recently). Sitting on the top of the island is FOX-E, an intermediate station that was part of the DEW line. There is no runway (and once you have seen the island you will know why) and the station and its (usually) five man crew were supported by helicopter flights from Cape Dyer. The main feature is a 300' high mast, topped by comms gear to link both to Broughton to the north and Cape Dyer to the south. There was only one really habitable building, 80' x 30' in round figures, and this contained the generators, technical spaces, sleeping areas, kitchen, mess, and showers etc. There were also what were known as Anderson shelters, originally put up to house the construction crew and used in the summer for any maintenance people who visited for short periods. There was also a garage for a snow cat and tanks for fuel. And a view.
This post also includes new bgls for Cape Dyer to provide the 300' tower there too.
