| Piaggio PD-808 v1.2 |
|
File Description:
This Aircraft looks like aGMax model, but has something more. It's not. It includes all animations you could want for FS2002, for instance press SHIFT+E to open the main door. and the sun reflection effect not possible with GMax. With 5 different liveries, reflections and glare effect on fuselage and canopy. A basic Virtual cockpit. The PD-808 is an electronic warfare aircraft, used by italian forces. 27 were built, Piaggio found not anyone intersted in it in the hard civiian buisness, and limited to produce just the ones requested by Italian Air Force (FFAA).
It comes in 5 different liveries:
1) Aeronautica militare: as FFAA painted it for transportation use
2) Low Profile Gray: an opaque paint version, probably for use in electronic operations when mimetic is less important than radar engagement
3) Mimetic paint scheme: painted in gray and green ,the paint is strangely gloss to a mimetic paint...
4) Pratica Di Mare: a little test airport in Italy, soit's a sort of prototype used for secondary tests.
5) Test Livery: As Piaggio painted the first prototype (It seems...)

| Alaska North Slope 5 - Nuiqsut PAQT |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Nuiqsut is a mainly Inuit community on the west side of the Colville River, around 20 miles south of the coast, and with a slowly declining population of around 420 or so. The airfield is just south of the town and has a gravel runway 5,000 feet long and aligned 04-22 in FS9. The airfield is the only year-round contact route to the rest of the world, though there are plans for a permanent road. The AI includes daily passenger flights early and late in the day, cargo deliveries, and some GA. It seems that the only photos I had of the airport were either of the old building or were not of Nuiqsut at all. The only pic I have seen (recently, which is why I now have doubts) of the new building is insufficient to model it, so I am sticking with the old or maybe incorrect version.

| Hellenic Air Force F-4E Phantom II |
|
File Description:
Full compatible with both FS2K2 & FS9 versions, this "VietNam camouflage" repaint, is representing an F-4E Phantom II in service of 338th Squadron of Hellenic Air Force. The model is made by Kazunori Ito, the textures and the panel by Nick Karatzides. The package contains realistic sounds made by Angelos Hatzikatakos. A new panel was made by Nick Karatzides according pictures of the real Phantom cockpit. The panel uses the fine radar and HUD gauges, compatible with both FS2K2 & FS9 versions, made by Paolo Dessani and Eric Marciano. Nick Karatzides also made an accurate checlist for FS purposes and the VERY completed flight manual (38 pages) which can be read with Adobe Acrobat. This "F-4E_HAF_v1.zip" package is for EXPERIENCED FlightSimers and virtual pilots who have a "good feeling" on the controls and do not "kick" the contol stick while flying...(no mistakes allowed especialy during landing phase!) It is for people who want to know how it looks to fly with a modern fighter. The package contains visual effects, night lighting, fine looking mechanical parts movement, smoke contrails, realistic gears extracting / retracting etc.

| Alaska North Slope 10; Kivalina KVL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and east of Barrow on the North Slope. There will be further additions. Kivalina is a small village (population around 350) midway in the 150 mile gap between Point Hope to the north and Kotzebue to the south. The village is on a spit of land that is growing smaller and smaller with every year of erosion and the rise of sea level. The runway is 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 12-30 to the north of the village on the same spit. It was expected that 2025 would see the end of both village and runway, and possibly also the natural harbour that is the reason for the village's location. The modified width of the spit shown here is halved from the original FS9, and erosion has continued, enough that a sea defence wall has now been built. The AI has a daily flight by an ERA Alaska Cessna 208B, and some GA; read the note about the 208 to be downloaded and/or properly installed.

Special effects of the visor in the mainpanel of the Concorde. It can be used for any heavy jet. Also you have 3 choices, between the metal gray color panel (old Boeing) or the brown color of the FS2004 boeing default and the feeling to be in a Airbus (PFD of A380).

It has a full working overhead, TCAS radar, ATC control, customized FS2004 GPS, ACS-GPS, APU, FMC, HUD, Wiper and many custom xml gauges. Special attention is made on the Radio, Fuel, PFD, Clock, Taxi speed control, Wind speed, Bank rate, Auto mb-Hg, Push back,and Sim speed. A lot of information during take off, flight and landing. Many warnings included. Ideal panel for beginners and advanced simmers.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina for FSX. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by Aerosoft. The Royal New Zealand Air Force had 56 Catalina's in all between 1943 and 1953. They were registered NZ4001-4056 inclusive and included 22 PBY-5s (mostly MklVAs) with the remainder being PB2B-1 s. All were flying boats, with no amphibian models being taken on charge.After the war only half a dozen or so of the best aircraft were maintained in service with No 5 Sqn (squadron code became KN-) and fitted with the latest search radar which had a large radome behind the cockpit. The remainder were put into storage. Two PB2B-ls were loaned to Tasman Empire Airways (TEAL) for short periods after the war, one (which became ZK-AMI) as a crew trainer, the other (ZK-AMP, former NZ4036) to survey a flying boat route from Fiji to Tahiti, later to become known as "The Coral Route" and used by TEAL's Solent flying boats. These two aircraft were eventually returned to the RNZAF before being scrapped.

| Alps LOD10 Topo Mesh - Switzerland and France |
|
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 Switzerland Professional with its high-resolution terrain mesh then you don't need this package, at least not the Switzerland files!
