| Nick's Prop Dust with Control Gauges |
|
File Description:
Prop aircraft users are in for a real treat. This gauge/effects package automatically senses the terrain the aircraft is in contact with or flying over and changes the dust and water effects for the aircrafts prop/rotor wash based on dirt, dry mud or clay, snow, rain, water, ice, sand, gravel and short grass. In addition the real time surface conditions are also sensed. In example, a dry asphalt or concrete runway will produce no dust, however, the same runway with snow conditions present will automatically produce a throttle controlled snow blowing effect. The 25 included effects files and 5 gauges have been tuned to reflect a realistic representation of the dust/mist produced by different types of aircraft taking off or touching down on different terrains and surface conditions. The effects are properly influenced by cross wind conditions and reverse pitch is also supported. Effects files and gauges are included for large and small, single engine, multi-engine, amphibians, helicopters and massive scale military and commercial transports. It requires editing/adding lines in the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. The README files include very complete and comprehensive instructions including a quick and easy copy/paste file for all the Microsoft prop aircraft and tutorial on making custom gauges from the ones provided.

| Pioneer 4 Add-on for Orbiter |
|
File Description:
Pioneer 3 and 4 were early satellites designed to be lofted toward Earth's Moon. They were equipped with Geiger counters to measure radiation in space. Pioneer 3 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on December 6, 1958.
Because of a slight error in the satellite's velocity and angle after burnout of the Juno II rocket, it did not reach the Moon; instead it achieved a peak altitude of 102,320 kilometers (63,580 miles). The satellite did, however, discover a second radiation belt around Earth during its flight. Pioneer 3 reentered Earth's atmosphere over equatorial Africa a day after launch.
Pioneer 4 was launched March 3, 1959, and successfully passed within 60,000 kilometers (37,300 miles) of the Moon the following day. The satellite was tracked for 82 hours to a distance of 655,000 kilometers (407,000 miles) from Earth, a record at that time. Pioneer 4 is now orbiting the Sun, the first U.S. spacecraft placed in solar orbit.
The Orbiter version will do a little better than get you within 60,000 kilometers like the real one achieved. The flight profile included usually will get you to within 8,000 kilometers, and sometimes, depending on the mood of your copy of Orbiter, may even impact the moon! However since installations may vary, your distance to the moon on arrival, or even impacting the moon, is not guaranteed. Just like the real thing!

| KPHX - Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport |
|
File Description:
This is an AFCAD2 for the default Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. My most accurate AFCAD yet. I was able to use the jetway shadows and others objects on the default land mass to accurately place each gate in the exact real life position they were when the photograph was taken. I utilized other satellite images and many photos from airliners.net to help verify exact gate and airline locations. Only difference here unfortuantely is there are no jetways, only jetway shadows. Maybe someone can make some jetways for this KPHX? 99.9% of all gates at the real airport are present in this AFCAD, and properly numbered. I've also included the cargo and military ramp, America West and Southwest maintenance parking, as well as added a few GA gates for you civil flyers. This AFCAD is roughly as of March 2005, so parts of Taxiway Echo near Terminal 4-D are closed and under construction in the AFCAD. I've closed 8/26 for takeoffs and used it with 7R/25L for landings. 7L/25R will be used as the primary takeoff runway. I think that covers everything. If you have time, select the Top-Down view in your sim, and you can see all the jetways from the land mass lined up with each aircraft. Kinda cool, enjoy! :) If there are any errors, let me know. Thanks.

| LFRD2004 Dinard/St-Malo VFR Scenery |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
LFRD is a regional airport in Brittany, France. This scenery was created entirely with GMax and the latest Microsoft compilers. Everything was made to ensure maximum framerate while giving maximum visual impact, even on humbler machines. This scenery will run just as fast as the default one (which is very bare) with your current settings, even though there are literally thousands of houses, buildings, trees and a detailed airport.
This is a complete package:
-SRTM local mesh with custom coast trimming
-Custom phototexture (200sq km), with seamless blending into FS9 standard landclass
-Full autogen with custom local texture
-Custom landclass and waterclass
-AFCAD2 file with parking codes
-Custom Hi-res photographic textures at airport.
-Gmax buildings and xml librairy objects.
It was made by a real life pilot and is totally aimed at recreating the feeling of being there, not so much on the ground (after all, this is a FLIGHT simulator), but at circuit altitudes. This is not about recreating an airport in all its glorious details at the cost of framerate, but instead an exercise in balancing visual cues and details as viewed from up there to make it 'as real as it gets' within the limits of FS9.

| ZSGS - Zhuhai Janwan Airport - Zhuhai, China |
|
File Description:
The Zhuhai Sanzao airport (ZGSD/ZUH, China), close to Macao, was built on request of someone who found it included in the FMC of PMDGs 737NGX, but missed in FSX. I used ADE and the Google based old version 2 of Plan-G (thanks to both authors) and some charts being available in the internet. However, it is equipped with standard buildings which are roughly adapted to the real dimensions well. Lighting, windsocks, taxisigns and moving jetways. Of course I added both ILS as well. There is a big exhibition apron on the airport which is modeled but blocked for AI traffic. You will see the lines of the taxiways nevertheless. The latest temporary chart (Nov 2012) shows a third apron which is not realised and I'm not planning to do so (obviously the whole site is still under construction).
As being built on a FSX island (which is now a peninsula) and default coast lines not fitting to the real position of the airport (Rwy05 was hanging in the water) I decided to compromise in a way that I corrected the area in the vicinity of the airport but respected the remaining part as it was in the default scenery. The attached pictures should give an impression even if I'm not using the pure default scenery. Therefore this little patch should be compatible to advanced mesh sceneries.
