Iran Air (circa 1962) default Douglas DC3

File Description:
This is a repaint of the FS2004 default DC3 in the Iran Air early days livery. Iran Air came about in 1962, after Iranian Airways and Persian Air Services were joined together, taking the name of Iran National Airlines (internationally known as Iran Air). Iranian Airways had been the first Iranian flag carrier, when it was formed in 1944. In a few years, with a fleet of 17 mostly DC-3 aircraft, Iran Air had both domestic and international routes covering many major Middle East cities.It soon built a large route map consisting of flights all over the Middle East, to Northern Africa, Europe and New York, and including a dense domestic flight schedule. The first planes used by the company were the Avro York, DC-3, DC-6 and Vickers Viscount types. Since I only had two very small B&W (or rather Brown and Yellow!) photos of IR DC3's, I've done my best to make the repaint look as real as possible, hope that you'll like it.

Grafton District Airport - NSW Australia

File Description:
A delighful small airport approximately 80 nautical miles from Coffs Harbour and a slightly shorter distance to Ballina and Lismore. This makes a good stopover for hopping down the east coast of Australia. The size of the airport has allowed me to put in that extra detail which makes to terminal and surrounds very much "as in real life". Photographic textures are used throughout for the buildings and even the trees are hand made macros from photographs at the airport. AFCAD and Traffic Tools files are included to add extra AI traffic. For that reason and because of limited apron space no static planes have been used. The scenery concentrates on adding a realistic terminal to the airport whilst leaving much of the default runway detail unchanged. Changes which have been made to the runway include tidying up the taxi way fillets so the markings do not appear to be on the grass and the windsocks have been replaced with macros designed to resemble the Grafton windsocks. Other than that the airport merges into the default scenery without the usual "green oasis" effect.

Grafton District Airport - NSW Australia

File Description:
Grafton District Airport (YGFN) - (For 2002 only)

*******************************

A delighful small airport approximately 80 nautical miles from Coffs Harbour and a slightly shorter distance to Ballina and Lismore. This makes a good stopover for hopping down the east coast of Australia.

Originally released for FS2004 (and is better in 2004) but adds realism to FS2002 default airport.

The size of the airport has allowed me to put in that extra detail which makes to terminal and surrounds very much "as in real life". Photographic textures are used throughout for the buildings and even the trees are hand made macros from photographs at the airport.

AFCAD file is included to add AI traffic. For that reason and because of limited apron space no static planes have been used. You should obtain Traffic Tools to add more AI traffic to give the airport a little more life.

The scenery concentrates on adding a realistic terminal to the airport whilst leaving much of the default runway detail unchanged.

Flight Creator Version 0.6

File Description:
Flight Creator 06 is much updated from the previous version (0.2) released on AVSIM. This version has over 22,000 airport locations world-wide included and the user can set up operational areas anywhere using a range or criteria, or select specific airports to be included. The user can also create their own locations. FC 06 handles different types aircraft which can be selected by the user. The type of flight and loads to fly depend on the aircraft selected. Full random criteria can be used or specific selections made. The flying time of each leg can be limited, and the user can decide whether to use real weather or the simple weather generator included in the program. Aircraft and cargo & passenger loads are stored in separate files and the user can create their own (using Notepad in this version).

This is still a work in progress and the future development list is included in the documentation. The author is happy to recieve suggestions for improvements and future functionality. FC 06 is simulator independent.

Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class

File Description:

Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class

Land classification, or land class (NOT "landclass"), is how Flight Simulator depicts the ground textures. For much of the FS world, the ground is not representative of the real thing, however. There have been complaints because of this from those who do not understand the cause of the problem.

This document explains the basic concepts behind the land class system, why it is inevitably inaccurate for most of the world, and the very easy-to-use tools with which to fix this.

Also includes instructions for modifying water class.

This is an html document for universal compatibility.

You do not have to be a computer programmer in order to change the land class. Anyone can do it quickly and easily.

So, why complain about it? Do something!

Very sorry - no support of any kind is offered for this document. Please consult the AvSim Scenery Design forum for any questions.
