| Fairchild C-82A Packet (Project Phoenix) |
|
File Description:
First and foremost, this aircraft package is dedicated to the memory of the late Paul Mantz, a veteran stunt pilot who gave his life in the making of the 1965, 20th Century Fox movie, “Flight of the Phoenix” starring James Stewart and a strong cast of other well known actors.
This package contains not only the C-82 Packet, but, as a special feature, “The Phoenix” as well. For those of you who have not seen this classic, you are missing a real jewel. It can still be obtained in VHS or DVD at www.amazon.com I highly recommend it.
The C-82 comes in three paint schemes, U.S.A.F., Bush Flying Unlimited, and of course, Arabco Oil. The Phoenix is painted as it was in the movie. Both aircraft have excellent panels built by K. Mitchell and the C-82 possesses a very nice virtual cockpit on par with that found in the C-119; previously released. These are DXT-3 textures with no mip-maps to preserve image clarity. I chose this format in the attempt to maintain a minimal upload/download package size. I will be following up with individual texture replacement packages in 32-bit for those who wish them.
I hope you enjoy this flightsim model as much as I did putting this package together. I could not have done so without the excellent help and work of Daisuke Yamamoto, Herb Morse, K. Mitchell, Mike Hambly, and Brent Hricziscse.
Enjoy! Heather

| Micro Flight 5 |
|
File Description:
Micro Flight is a state of the art flight simulator specializing in simulating ultralight flying vehicles and micro meteorological conditions.
Unlike other flight simulators, Micro Flight simulates the intricate flow of air over the ground and the effects of thermals created by the sun, making it ideal for simulating gliders of all types.
Micro Flight also simulates types of vehicles not simulated by other general aviation programs, such as: Hanggliders, Paragliders, Gyroplanes, Helicopters, Trikes, Balloons and more.
Flight instrumentation and navigational aids were made to resemble real ones, this includes the hand held GPS, standard flight instruments, head up display and more.
The whole enviroment which the user interacts with is three dimentional, even operating the instruments in the cockpit is made by manipulating them with the mouse and not just by pressing keys.
The terrain model used is detailed and optimized, giving the terrain a photorealistic look while still maintaing a high frame rate during run.
The program supports a wide variety of scenery formats, and can import aerial photography and USGS digital elevation data directly.
The program includes flight recording and anaylis, giving the user the ability to study the flight in detail and export it's path in digital form for any purpose.
The program has netplay mode which enables users to fly and communicate with each other.
All this and more make the program a unique and valueable tool for flight simulation.

| Cork Airport File 1.0 |
|
File Description:
This is the first file of a few files I will be releasing for Cork Airport Ireland {EICK} in FS2002. This is just a small, basic Afcad file to correct the parking at Cork airport. This Afcad file will make all the aircraft at Cork airport {including your aircraft}, park sideways against the building as in real life at Cork airport, instead of parking facing the building. All the starting points will also change to a sideways heading of 166. This will also change the gate numbers and will stop the atc using the term 'parking' all the time. It will change gate 1 to medium, gate 2 to heavy, gate 3 to small, gate 4 to medium {cargo}, parking 5 to ramp GA small, parking 6 to ramp GA small, and parking 7 to ramp GA small. All runways {17/35,07/25}, taxiways, traffic, and atc have been left alone. Parking and buildings are a mess at Cork airport in FS2002, therefore, the file is not perfect. I plan to release further traffic and scenery files for Cork airport in the future. This file requires AFCAD by Lee Swordy. Details of where to get it within download.
The progressive taxi instructions will also not change, neither will the pink line on the taxiways. The pink line will not turn sideways at the gates, but you must turn and park sideways at a heading of around 166 to park properly.

| F-5A Freedom Fighter 'Aegean Blue' Hellenic Air Force |
|
File Description:
This is a superb aircraft I used to fly as a Hellenic Air Force pilot. This is an "Aegean Blue" repaint flown in service of 343rd Squadron of Hellenic Air Force during the '90ties. The F-5 Freedom Fighter was a very succesfull aircraft during its 30 year carrer in HAF as a fighter, bomber, multy role aircraft until the early months 2001 when finaly released by active duty. This "F-5A_HAF_v1.zip" package is full compatible with FS2K2 and it contains sound, NEW (made by the author) panel, the official checklist (by Northrop) and a VERY completed flight manual which can be read with Adobe Acrobat.
This repaint was based on the original model made by Denis da Silva [email protected] & Daniel da Silva [email protected]. Using my 1800 hrs flight experience as a former F-5 pilot, I create (starting by "zero"...) a flight model ("air" file and aircraft.cfg file) and I test it to the limits to be sure that it flies like the real one and I can guarantee that! This "F-5A_HAF_v1.zip" package is for EXPERIENCED FlightSimers and virtual pilots who have a "good feeling" on the stick and do not fight with the contol stick while flying...Other words it is for people who want to know how the F-5A is realy flying!!
The package contains new visual effects, night lighting and the best looking mechanical parts movement, realistic gears extracting / retracting etc.

| P51B Mustang War Weary |
|
File Description:
A repaint of www.donationware.net 's P-51B Muatang (must have that to use this repaint).
I painted the design and then weathered the whole thing (it's not so dirty looking in the book).
One thing I had to do which is probably not correct is not join the thin blue and white arc going from the blue and white nose paint underneath the nose (which on the book's side view appears to be joined to the other side's arc). Due to some texture-mapping issues in the area under the nose , it would have been almost impossible to get a good looking joined arc so I made them both end in points on each side.
In the side view of the picture I based this on, the wing gun ports are even covered (ie the wing leading edge is flush and without bumps or holes). Some of the text fonts appear to be unlike usual US fonts for the time ( I had to make the large W, D and 2 by hand without a font)
Also something I could not alter is the canopy which was extended in the real plane making another seat for an additional person.
The book has it shown with the following text ;
Field-modified P-51B , WW (War Weary)
43-12193 , 335th FS , 4th FG , Debden, England
June, 1945. Overall Insignia Red with Light Blue
anti-glare panel.

| EVVA Ventspils International, Latvia |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Googly scenery for Ventspils International - Latvia's third largest commercial airport
(try not to laugh!) although no facilities other than a runway are provided in Flight
Simulator 2004. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons, buildings and other airport
features, so that you and your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park and take off in a
realistic manner.
The airport serves the city of Ventspils in northwest Latvia and opened as recently
as 1975. Owing to changes in the political situation, operations ceased in 1983 but
it re-opened in 2000. At present, it is unclear which operators serve the airport
- Air Baltic is the claimed contender but there is no evidence in their advertised
schedules. It is believed that occasional flights are operated to St Petersburg and
Moscow by Russian operators but information is hard to come by. Nevertheless, the
airport's own web site (http://www.airport.ventspils.lv/) has figures showing the
increasing numbers of passengers passing through the airport, so something must
call here! The airport also sees a respectable amount of General Aviation activity
and AVGAS has recently been made available.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look like the real thing. [File re-uploaded at request of AVSIM]

| 52F North West Regional Airport (DFW TX) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airport scenery does not require any other software other than Microsoft Flight Sim X SP1 (minimum) - SP2 required for mission and display of some of the scenery items. However, it could help with performance on your PC if you install any accurate photo scenery for DFW. One such scenery is MEGASCENERY DFW photo scenery from http://www.megascenery.com/.
This is a custom developed scenery for airport, 52F - Northwest Regional, Roanoke, TX. 52F is next to Fort Worth Alliance in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. It's a nice little airport.
This scenery package also includes a Mission called "52Foxtrot - Approach to Rwy 35 - Thermals". It is more of a free flight than the traditional FSX missions. The ones who fly for real at 52F-Northwest regional knows the quirks when coming into land at runway 35 on a hot day. The thermals at the cleared land and the sinking feeling when flying over the wooded area nearing the approach to 35. These thermal lifts and sinks have been modeled here. However, the only way to experience these thermals in FSX is via Missions. Once you select the mission "52Foxtrot - Approach to Rwy 35 - Thermals" and by selecting option "Enable changes in selected Mission", you could fly around like you would under "free flight". Except this time, you would have these thermal effects around 52F and get to experience what it's really like to fly and land at 52F.

| Cross Keys Airport (17N), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 01 miles S of Cross Keys, New Jersey on 280 acres of land, Cross Keys Airport is a small General Aviation field privately owned by Cross Keys Airport Inc. In addition to servicing GA flights, the airport also hosts a paintball field and a sky diving operation to the north of the field. For this reason, all aircraft must remain south of the runway at all times. Any aircraft with a wingspan larger than 40 feet will need to park in the turf area west of the main apron - smaller GA aircraft can pick a spot from any of the open tiedown areas. 100LL (Blue) Fuel is available by stopping next to the fuel tank on the main apron. Although it doesn't exist in real life, a patch of concrete to the west of the main apron made for a good helipad, so I included one. It is not lit at night. Trees in the surrounding forest are summer trees ONLY.
Scenery constructed with use of Google Maps images, and vague recollection by the author who went sky diving there once.
This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New Jersey/Delaware 004. 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.

| FSX Grumman F9F RNLN VSQ860 LATE |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This livery represents a fictional "What if" repaint of the magnificent payware Grumman F9F-5 by VertigoStudios in a Royal Netherlands Navy Livery.
The aircraft resembles what it would look like if the Dutch government chose the Grumman F9F Panther over the Hawker Seahawk as their primary
attack fighter operating from the sole Dutch Navy aircraft carrier from the late 40-ies till the early 60-ies; the HRMS Karel Doorman (CV, R81,
Colossus Class). The Dutch navy operated two other aircraft carriers prior to this one (small MAC escort carriers, which were basically modified tankers),
but the R81 was the first and only real aircraft carrier ever operational within the Royal Netherlands Navy, and to operate jet-fighters from.
This particular livery of the F9F is in a typical grey & duck-egg green pattern resembling all Dutch naval aircraft of that era, carrier- and land based.
This livery with the "D" marking denotes the aircraft has the CV R81 "Karel Doorman" as home base.
Aircraft similar in operation and colour at that time (actually the Hawker Seahawk-era) were: Sikorsky S55, Grumman TBM 3S2/3W2 Avenger later
added/replaced with the Grumman S-2A Tracker and the Sikorsky S58. In the final stages of Dutch aircraft-carrier operations the role of the
HRMS Karel Doorman was reduced to an "Anti-Submarine Warfare" carrier. You need the payware VertigoStudios F9F for FSX in order to use this repaint.
