File Description:
This folder contains a second repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51D-20 44-63272 “Bad Angelâ€, flown by Lt. Louis Curdes of the 4th Fighter Squadron, 3rd Air Commando Group. He is one of a very few American pilots to have kills against each of the three major Axis powers, and I believe the only US pilot to display an American flag among his victory markings.
While serving in the MTO, Curdes downed several Fw-190’s, and one of the Macchi C.202’s he downed is now on display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC. He was shot down over Italy and spent a short time as a POW before escaping. Because he was an escaped POW, he couldn’t fly again against the Germans for security reasons.
He was transferred to the PTO, and on February 10, 1945, during a sweep to Bataan Island, he saw a P-51 pilot parachute into the sea. Curdes circled around him to pinpoint his position to rescuers. While circling, he saw a USAAF C-47 that was preparing to land on the Japanese-held strip on Batan. The C-47 crew didn’t respond to repeated attempts at radio contact and, unable to shepherd the C-47 to safety, Curdes saw only two possibilities – first that it was a Japanese plane bearing false US markings (the DC-3 having been built under licence in Japan prior to the war), or it was a US plane whose crew was unaware the field had fallen to the Japanese. He therefore carefully shot out both engines, causing the plane to land in the sea. All 13 people on board the C-47 were rescued – and they were indeed Americans, including a nurse Curdes had previously dated. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom.

File Description:
I can be contacted at [email protected] for any help required or different drive versions needed.
[ABOUT THE PROGRAM]
This program will read a text file from the route of your hard drive depending on the version you run, and select a random line and display that line. The file must be a text file named "Airports.txt". This program was designed with ease of use in mind for selecting a random airport for the Flight Sim community, though can be used for any purpose with any text file called "Airports.txt". The program will display the airport ICAO code then co-ordinates.
[ABOUT ME]
I am a 16 year old aviation enthusiast that loves flying and ATC, but hate having to choose an airport to depart from and arrive at, or to controll. This program has now removed this to make my flight more random with less decisions to make. I also like to explore areas I haven't been before, again this selects a random airport, from thousands of different ones, so exploring is inevitable.
[INSTALLATION]
The only installation required is to copy the Airports.txt file to the route of your hard drive C: or D: (for more drives e-mail me as above), then run the respective program for that drive from any folder you wish.
[ABOUT THE AIRPORTS.TXT FILE]
This file was collected from my FS2004 and contains every airport in it. Currently the program selects a line at random and displays it, whether a large international airport or small grass field. You could edit the file just to contain your favourite airports and it will NOT affect the running of the program as long as the file remains as Airports.txt. I am hoping in future versions to allow you to select a type of airfield, i.e. large, medium or small or select from runway length, though this will take a while to produce, if ever.
For now i hope everyone enjoys the program and happy flying :)

| PS Panels 737NG |
|
File Description:
Built completely from scratch, the PS Panels 737NG incorperates a high level of realism whilst still allowing the virtual pilot to use important FS features such as the flight planner and ATC systems.
Authentic NG EHSI
The PS Panels 737NG incorporates a high definition EHSI display including all the modes as per the real aircraft.
Approach, VOR, Map and Plan modes are all modelled (APP, VOR and Map in both Expanded and Standard modes).
The authentic and fully animated EHSI control panel allows the virtual pilot to set the display to his preference.
The PS Panels 737NG interfaces completely with the FS Flight Planner, you're flight plan will be automatically displayed in both the Plan and Map modes.
Extensive Overhead
The PS Panels 737NG incorporates a custom overhead panel to control the many modelled aircraft systems.
Based on the real NG Overhead panel with a slightly altered layout that allows the virtual pilot to continue to monitor his key instruments whilst managing the Fuel, Electrical, Hydraulic, Lighting and Pnuematic systems controlled through the panel.
Careful attention combined with detailed research has allowed us to model these systems to a high degree of accuracy.
Complete Radio Stack
The panel comes with an authentic 737NG radio stack, accurate down to the last details.
IRS System
The PS Panels 737NG models the operation of the aircrafts IRS. Unless proper alignment is completed through the IRS panel, many features of the aircraft's displays will be INOP.
Custom Throttle Panel
The panel comes with a custom throttle panel accurate to that on the real aircraft.
Advanced 2-stage Night Lighting
A first for PS Panels, the 737NG contains two stage night lighting allowing the virtual pilot to choose between two levels of cockpit lighting on the fly.
The main panel and all subpanels are lit using the same schemes.
Thanks to Yoo Sang Jun for his work on this.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for version 3.14 of the Douglas C-47 by Manfred Jahn and colleagues in the colors of C-47B-30-DK c/n# 32877 44-76545 of the PNGDF. It was built by Douglas and went to the RAAF in april 1945 as A65-84. It flew with 2 ATU with call sign VH-HJM and was later assigned to 34 squadron. After the war, it remained with the RAAF until 1975, when it was one of seven C-47's that were donated to the Papua New Guinea's Defence Force, where it was assigned the serial P2-002. It flew with the PNGDF until the late 1980's, when all C-47's were phased out. The aircraft was retained for display, and can currently been seen standing on pylons at Jackson Airport. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom for Manfred Jahn's C-47 version 3.14, based on the paintkit by Gman5250.

| FSX/FS2004 USAF MATS C-133A Cargomaster 562008 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the Douglas C-133A Cargomaster in the USAF MATS scheme. The freeware Douglas C-133 Cargomaster by Tim Conrad is needed for this repaint - link provided. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & FS2004. Textures for FS2004 users are included. Textures are 32bit DDS & DXT3 BMP. In November 1958 562008 was assigned to the 1607th Air Transport Wing (Heavy), of the Military Air Transport Service (MATS), at Dover AFB, Delaware. On December 16 1958, this aircraft set a world record for propeller-driven aircraft, by lifting a cargo payload of 117,900 lbs to 10,000 ft. In January 1966, under a unit reorganization which included the 1607th ATW, 562008's new unit became the 436th Military Airlift Wing of the Military Airlift Command at Dover AFB. It made its last flight on March 17 1971. It is now on display at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base museum, Ohio.

| Bumba Airport (FZFU/BMB) |
|
File Description:
Scenery for Bumba airport (FZFU/BMB), namely a small airport located in the North part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mondala Province, serving the small town of Bumba located near the Congo river. Bumba is an ideal reference point for VFR flights along the Congo river in that region, as well as around that part of the DRC forest. The scenery contains two parts: the landclass, that defines the terrain at and around the airport, and the airport scenery, which contains the runway, the aprons, and the 3D objects. In comparison with the default FS2004 scenery, this contains brand new runway and aprons, drawn using custom textures that should give a more realistic feeling of the airstrip, and the landclass has been modified in order to represent faithfully the real landscape around the airport. The Static Object Library of RWY12 is necessary in order to properly display the 3D objects: it can be found easily in the AVSIM library.

| Washington D.C. - Metro Area Update |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my first attempt for scenery modification for FS2004 using Google Sketchup buildings. I developed this scenery project to add more prominate buildings to the Washington DC area that were missing from the default scenery. All new buildings have been created and/or modified using Google Sketchup, converted with ModelConvertX and placed in FS2004 with InstantScenery. MegaScenery Mid Atlantic was used as a guide for accurate placement and makes a great addition, but is not necessary.
I went through great links to minimize the drawcall on each individual item to help reduce framerate hits. For my system, I found that setting the display settings in FS2004 to Medium High and turning off AI traffic was optimal while using both D.C. files in concert with MegaScenery. You might need to experiment.

| RwyInfo 2 Data Update Version 2 |
|
File Description:
The purpose of this download is to allow you to update the data used by Ernie Alston's Runway Info gauge (RwyInfo version 2.0, available from http://www.fsbuild.com/rwyinfo/). This is an excellent little gauge that allows you to retrieve, through a gauge on your panel, information for all the runways at an airport (selected by ICAO code), and optionally automatically load frequency and course for an ILS into your NAV1 radio and MCP. However the usefulness of the gauge is somewhat restricted by the fact that it comes with a text database of 'info' to be displayed, and does not include any method for updating this info. This is Version 2 of this utility - the first version was uploaded a couple of weeks ago. The first version is not required to use this version. This version fixes some problems with the display of new airports and runs much faster than the original version.
