File Description:
This factory airport is located in the west of Munich (lovely Bavaria, South-Germany).The simulated version of the airport I dedicated to Claude Dornier, one of the
very famous aviation pioneers in the last century. Civil and military aircraft are manufactured and/or serviced on this airport. Over the years the ownership has changed in 1996 from Dornier to Fairchild/Dornier and in December 2002 to RUAG (Swiss Company). The airport also is hosting the "DLR" (German Aerospace Center) at the south western part of the field.
Version 2.2 replaces version 1 and 2.1 completely. Several airport buildings have
been modified and all the scenery textures have been converted to the DXT1/DXT3 format.
All EZ-Scenery BGL's and Textures are on board, therefore no further library downloads
are required. Gentlemen, it's time to get the weather briefing.
Re-upload.

| Kugaaruk CYBB and DEW Pelly Bay CWPB in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kugaaruk is on the coast of northern mainland Canada on the Boothia Peninsula, 60 miles into a deep north-south fjord-like inlet called Pelly Bay. The name was changed from Pelly Bay in 1999, and the population is around 800. Gjoa Haven is 150 miles to the west, and Hall Beach just over 200 miles to the east. Six miles south of the village, and connected by a gravel road, there is a NWS station and what remains of a DEW Auxiliary Site; the DEW site was closed in 1992, a year after the NWS station became operational. There is also a 3,350 feet long gravel runway beside Barrow Lake 2 miles east of the site, Pelly Bay CWPB. Kugaaruk airfield is adjacent to the village and the 5,000 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 049T/229T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic. There are flights by First Air and Canadian North and the AI includes a daily flight of each from Yellowknife via Gjoa Haven (as per real life) plus a cargo visit by Buffalo. Although the runway is long enough to accomodate a 737 it is not licensed for regular scheduled jet flights; the reason for this is that the approach lighting is "inadequate". Included here is a new .bgl for Gjoa Haven which will remove the small hold short line from the gravel; my mistake.

| Maurice Bishop TGPY on Grenada in the Caribbean |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Grenada island is 17 miles south of the southernmost island of the Grenadines, Carriacou; there are some smaller islands between the two. Grenada is 18 miles long and around 8 miles wide, has an estimated population of 110,000, and produces a very large part of the world's annual nutmeg harvest. The capital, St Georges, is by far the largest town and is at the southern end of the island, with the airport close by.
The airport is now called Maurice Bishop, but for some years was called Point Salines. The runway is just over 9,000 feet long and oriented 10/28. Point Salines replaced Pearl Airport, which is on the east coast 12 miles northeast of St Georges and was difficult to expand as the runway had mountains at one end and the sea at the other. Pearl is now closed; it is included here but only as a visual landmark with "closed" markings. There are regular international flights from North America and Europe, some of which are seasonal only (Air Canada for instance) and local connecting flights by LIAT and SVG. I retained the default control tower as it is some distance away. In real life it is also some distance away and on a hill northwest of the terminal. Which is why I did not take photos from which I would have made the real one. The hill does not feature in FS9.

| Avro Lancastrian II |
|
File Description:
A close derivative of the war-time Lancaster bomber, the Lancastrian was
fitted with streamlined nose and tail cones. Lancastrians were used as
long-range freighters, VIP transports, and jet engine test beds by the
RAF, as fast long-range airliners and mailplanes by Trans Canada Air
Lines, BOAC, BSAA, QUANTAS, and Alitalia, and as tankers by Flight
Refuelling Ltd. Charter operators were Skyways and Silver City.
Eighty-two aircraft were build, but most of them had vanished in
scrapyards by the early nineteen-fifties. In the immediate post-war
years, TCA offered twice-weekly Lancastrian flights from Dorval, Canada,
to Prestwick and London, while BOAC and BSAA (under chief pilot D.C.T.
Bennett) operated flights to Australia and South America, all based on a
rather uneconomical ratio of five crew to up to fourteen passengers. The
outbound leg from Hurn to Learmouth, Australia, took three days and well
over fifty hours flying time, with Lydda, Karachi, and Ceylon serving as
staging posts. BSAA's London to Buenos Aires flight took 56 hours.
Either way, one needs to have plenty of time on one's hands to recreate
these epic journeys. Gmax exterior model and textures by Manfred Jahn,
FDE and 2D panel by Paul Edwards (based on a panel by Phil Perrott of
Alphasim). The three texture sets included represent VM734 of 246
Squadron RAF, G-AGLY ("Norfolk") of BOAC, and G-AKFG of Flight
Refuelling Ltd.

| CYVP - Kuujjuaq - Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kuujjuaq is in northern Quebec at the southern end of Ungava Bay, and 30 miles up the Koksoak River. Kuujjuaq has a population of around 2,400; it was previously called Fort Chimo and in 1830 there was a Hudson Bay trading post established close by, but on the other bank of the river. A nursing station and a school were established in 1948 and the Hudson Bay post moved across the river to the current location. The airport is to the south of the town and, unusally for northern airfields, has two runways. The asphalt runway is 6,000 feet long and aligned 07/25, and the gravel runway is 5,000 feet long and aligned 13/31; 07 has ILS. There is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA, but the 100LL will be in drums and you are required to have your own pump. There are numerous flights that stop at Kuujjuaq; the AI included here has Air Creebec, First Air, Wasaya Airways, and Air Inuit (Kuujjuaq is a maintenance centre for Air Inuit) plus private flights by various aircraft. There is also a flight by my poor representation of a Helicopter Transport Services chopper. There is a float base on the nearby Stewart Lake during the summer months. The base is within the Kuujjuaq control zone, and normally you would talk to the tower and inform them of your intentions, but in FS9 this cannot be replicated.

| Ben Het Airfield / Special Forces Camp |
|
File Description:
A model of Ben Het Airfield / Special Forces Camp. This remote base was located in the mountains near the Ho Chi Minh Trail, about eight miles west of Dak To Airfield. Ben Het was almost constantly under attack throughout the war. In 1969, a battle between US and NVA armored units was fought here and several NVA tanks were destroyed. Tank battles were a rare event in Vietnam. The PSP runway at Ben Het was 1,500' long with a helicopter landing pad at each end. Consequently, only C-7 Caribous and other short-field capable aircraft could land there. In December 1970, Ben Het Airfield was turned over to the ARVN Rangers.

| Jinnah International Airport (OPKC) |
|
File Description:
OPKC - Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, Pakistan for Microsoft default scenery.
Even if you don't plan to visit, airways routes from Europe to India and the far east, which detour around Iraqi airspace, pass overhead or very close to this coastal city so your AI deserve the extra facilities, if nothing else.
58 parking spaces, of which 7 are cargo, 11 are GA and most are overspill (or long turnaround) parking as the main terminal area is somewhat cramped. Minor taxiway changes and ramp enlargements based on satellite photos. Gate numbering and positions based upon an official-looking chart of unknown authorship (not included). Please Zipdive into the NOTAMs before downloading this file.

| Airbus A380-800F/ER Upgrade |
|
File Description:
A380-800F/ER Flight Dynamics Upgrade/Correction
Required files include 388femx2.zip and pwpic11.zip. Best panel (suggested) is cacp234e.zip, although it takes a lot of work to figure out. This dynamics upgrade/correction includes corrected weights, engine power, and smoke using the key, as well as many other corrections that will make this version of the FedEx A380 appear as that most likely used by them. This will convert the original aircraft into a long-range version capable of flights over 9,000 nm. Nothing in these dynamics are unreal except for the fact that this version of the aircraft is only a design concept. Created by Douglas E. Trapp, FS Flight Dynamics Engineer, [email protected]

| Italian Air Force Lockeed P-38L |
|
File Description:
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was one of the most prominent fighters throughout WWII in both major theaters of operation. P-38s scored some of the first victories in the Pacific Theater. In Europe, they often provided high-altitude long range escorts for bombers. The Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare Italiana) received from U.S.A.A.F., after the war's end, several used P-38 in various version (L / J / F-5), but many aircrafts were bought as 'metal' from U.S.A.A.F's scraps by A.M.I. and 'heroically' restored in flight condition by Italian technicians. Textures only for a P-38L, in 'A.M.I. 3rd Stormo' livery for payware 'Sky Unlimited Lockheed Aircraft P38 Vol.1'. Repaint by Manuele Villa.
