| Parking SS FS9 scenery objects and textures |
|
File Description:
This collection of objects and textures gives you three different ways to easily create parking lot areas in FS9: * Photoreal parking textures. Great for quickly creating large parking areas that look very realistic from above, but not so good from ground level. These textures can be used in two different ways:
1. FS9 scenery library objects. These are large square or rectangular objects that can be placed using Instant Scenery, EZ-Scenery and similar programs. These will give the most realistic appearance.
2. AFCAD textures. By replacing some of the FS9 taxiway/apron textures with these textures, you can easily create parking areas using AFCAD. Because of the way FS9 uses these textures, the results are not as realistic as with the scenery library objects. The main advantage of using AFCAD is that you can create parking areas of any irregular shape.
* Ground marking and divider scenery library objects. These will give you parking areas that look the most detailed and realistic at ground level. Looks great combined with vehicle objects. PLEASE NOTE: The ground markings have some height to them that is very noticeable up close. I made them this way so they will not appear to "shimmer" in FS9. For best appearance, sink them into the ground a bit when placing them in FS9. I find that -.015 meters works well.

| Exploring Our World - Part 2 - Easter Island, Chile - SCIP - a complete makover. |
|
File Description:
Exploring Our World - Part 2 - Easter Island, Chile. In part two of this new series you will find a complete makeover of Easter Island which MS virtually ignored. Designed to compliment the fine Mataveri International Airport by Daniel Rojas (scip_o7.zip at Flightsim.com), this package includes Mesh and adjusted coastlines by John Young. John has also provided a new Afcad which removes unrealistic pushback starts. A new landclass file by John Burford adds the villages near the airport and more realistic ground treatments. You will also find numerous scenery enhancements using objects from the RWY12 and EZ Scenery libraries. Francisco Vargas has contributed a set of Thermals which soaring fans will enjoy. Of special interest is the use of AI Volkswagens, as taxi's driving around the airport and AI Helicopters that take visiting tourists on sightseeing tours. The AI Volkswagens have been provided by Ranier Girbig and are used with his permission. Easter Island, home of the mysterious head statues (Moai) has many new and exciting things just waiting for you to explore. Even the small adjacent Moto Nui Island, which MS forgot, has been added. This is the second of a series exploring lesser known parts of our FS world. Please unzip (using folders option) to a temporary folder and follow the documentation very carefully to assure a proper installation. ......

| Boeing 787-8XLR Qantas |

File Description:
Qantas is requesting proposals (Dec 2018) for design of an aircraft model or variation that is capable of non-stop flights over 10,000 nm for YSSY to EGLL and/or YPPH to KDFW and return service routes. This model is the best choice for Boeing based on real world data. The Boeing 787-8XLR "Dreamcruiser" will have a maximum range of 13,600 nm at FL450E (Mach .83) which will give her more than the desired capabilities, and will be the very efficient. This model (B788XLR) is based on the current 787-8 using weight modifications to increase the range without adding additional fuel tanks, and designed for luxury/comfort with only 161 paid passengers on board. Everything in this model is realistic to the best of my abilities. If Boeing creates this model, it will likely be very similar to this. The name is my own invention, as are all of the weight characteristics. Based on all of my extensive testing, there is no other aircraft capable of these requirements, to date. The 787-800 is certainly the right choice for Qantas if Boeing decides they will modify the original model to fit these requirements. In reality, there is no such aircraft as a 787-8XLR Dreamcruiser. Not yet, anyway. My data shows the aircraft is capable of long-range non-stop flights over 13,000 nm east or west at Mach .82 and above FL435. However, this can only be done by lowering the empty weight and using the full fuel capabilities designed within the original model. This simple modification cuts the total souls on board down to 176, with 161 paid passengers, 11 flight attendants, and 4 pilots in two shifts. Full fuel can now be used in all long-range flights which is actually not common for most 787-800s in service today (Fuel Managed). Ramp and MTOW remain the same, but because she flies higher than normal, and has less weight, she can cruise much further than any other 787. In reality, this is what the 787 was originally designed to do.

| Curtiss Helldiver Italian Air Force |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Aerplane Heaven Curtiss Helldiver in the colors of S2C-5 MM4693 86-42 of the 86 Gruppo Antisom of the Italian Air Force, based in Grottaglie, 1952. Italy’s experience with the Helldiver was brief but interesting. In 1950, when the first post-WWII formal rearmament plan was put forward, the Italian navy identified as a priority obtaining a surplus American light aircraft carrier, with appropriate air wing. A team was sent to Naval Air Station Corpus Christi TX, where two pilots trained and qualified on the Helldiver, later practicing carrier operations aboard USS Midway (CV-41) where four more pilots earned US Navy carrier wings. In September 1952, two surplus Helldivers were presented to the Italian navy as a gift by the USA. The two planes were delivered to Naples, Italy.
Unfortunately for the Italian navy, there was still a Mussolini-era law on the books called Legge 1000 Kilo (law of a thousand kilograms) which mandated that only the Italian air force could fly planes over 2,200 lbs weight. As the result of a bizarre inter-services lawsuit, the navy was forced to abandon plans for both it’s aircraft carrier wish and the Helldivers.
A total of forty-six Helldivers were eventually transferred to the Italian air force (the two former navy planes plus a further forty-four). The Italian air force assigned them to the 86th Autonomous Antisubmarine Group at Grottaglie air base, where they flew ASW missions with depth charges. The Helldiver was not popular with the Italians…as an anecdotal example, they were housed in a disused WWII-era blimp hangar. They were viewed as obsolete and too difficult to master pilots on. The crews were also not keen on flying a single-engine type on long overwater patrols.
The Italian planes were only in frontline service for about one year. In 1953, they were replaced by PV-2 Harpoons and (later) S-2 Trackers, which were much more suitable to long-range ASW missions. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Aeroplane Heaven.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
THIS IS MY FINAL AN-22 VERSION: Unveiled to the West in 1965, the Antonov An-22 was the world's largest aircraft, until the advent of the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy. Powered by 4 contra-rotating turboprops, the design remains the world's largest turboprop-powered airplane. The An-22 was originally built for the Soviet Air Force and Aeroflot, the state airline. A total of 68 aircraft were built during 1965-1975, from which 2 never flew, 19 have been preserved, and 33 removed from service. Currently only 7 are in service. Six of them are used by the Russian Air Force and one (UR-09307) belongs to Antonov Design Bureau, used for civil needs, and operates out of UKKM. The AN-22 is designed to carry heavy loads of 80 tonnes over a 3,000 nm range at high speed and moderate altitude. The civilian model is used for long and medium range flights with updated avionics and flight controls. The wing has a forward and rear sweep effect with a low taper ratio and moderate wing area for it's size. The tail includes twin vertical fins that help maintain stability. The engines are constant speed turboprops that include 2 four bladed contra-rotating props with auto-pitch, and this gives her a thrust rating of 15,211 shp and a fuel efficiency of .353 lb/hp/hr. The cargo area is 14 ft high and wide, and 108 ft long. All fuel is contained within the wings and in the upper fuselage (7 tanks). She has 12 wheels that carry most of the weight, and two steering wheels located behind the crew cabin. Cargo is loaded through the rear loading ramp. The cockpit is located high, as well as the crew quarters. Additional passengers (when present) are seated below the cockpit forward. Original Design and Textures by: Enrique Del Rosario; Sound by: Aaron R. Swindle; Panel by: Marco Spada; Auto Smoke Effects by Richard Wisman; Engine/Aero Dynamics, effects and data by: Douglas E. Trapp. Please Read the Readme AN22.txt file before operations.

| Koyuk PAKK in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Koyuk is a coastal village around 125 miles east of Nome at the mouth of the Koyuk River, with a population just under 400 living from fishing and the land. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 18-36, 3,300 feet long with VASI at both ends. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Bering Air and ERA both fly into Deering and are included in the AI. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 506 and there will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airport (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Consolidated B-24D by Flight Replicas, adapted for use in P3Dv5. It shows B-24D-10-Cf 42-62885 BZ862 of the RAF. Arrived in the UK in 1943, it was flown to Karachi, arriving there in August 1943. It first flew with 354 Sqn with serial A, before going to 160 Sqn as J. It was based in Minneriya, in present-day Sri Lanka and was used for long distance mine-laying operations. For this, they removed all extra weight and installed three additional tanks in the forward bomb-bay. This aircraft flew a sortie to southern Malaya to drop two British officers near the Kota Tinggi/Johore road on 31-7/1-8-1945, captained by Flt Lt J A Muir RCAF, and was airborne for 24 hrs 10 mins, the longest unrefuelled flight ever made by any Allied landplane in World War II; the distance flown was 3,735 mls (6,013 km). Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Flight Replicas.

| Ghana Airways 1998 AI Flightplans |
|
File Description:
Ghana Airways was only 6 years from the end of a long history in 1998. A pair of DC-9-51s flew around West Africa, sometimes on 6-stop flights, while the 2 DC-10-30s(one of which was still in the old livery) flew to New York and the 3 routes remaining in Europe. Though based in ACC, ABJ seems to have had more flights and destinations from the DC-9s. One of the DC-9s was destroyed in a crash landing 2 years later and the airline never recovered, shutting down in 2004. A single Fokker 27-600 was operated by the Ghana Air Force as "Ghana Link", a regional subsidiary of Ghana Airways, in full Ghana military colors. I have included that aircraft with representative domestic flights as flights were not listed on the schedule. Links to repaints included. Part of the 1998 Flight Simulator Project.

| Navy U-11A Piper PA-23 Aztec F |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an almost authentic representation of what I think a modern Piper Aztec F would look like if it was painted to represent a Navy small VIP transport. The U.S. Navy purchased 20 of the very early stubby nosed Piper Aztecs in 1960 and designated them UO-1 aircraft. A few years later the military decided to align some of their numbering systems so it became the U-11A. The Navy assigned only one U-11A to a stateside base for short runs for the executives or as a special delivery vehicle that could outrun the UPS and FedEx ground vehicles with important orders or papers. They also used it to keep some of the desk bound fighter jocks on flying status by getting their monthly minimum flying hours in the left seat. The Aztec F is a lot sleeker with a very long snout so I had to guess at what the black painted area would cover. I also added a custom painted interior - Navy gray and black.

| Dutch Harbour PADU and St Paul PASN - UPDATES |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This has revised runway circulation for both Dutch Harbour (dutchplus.zip) and St Paul (st_paul.zip) to better reflect reality in helicopter and aircraft operation. It is not realistic for a helicopter to land, continue in a straight line along 6,000' of runway, turn at the far end, then taxi back along the same 6,000' to the aprons. Similarly, a Cessna does not need the same runway length as a 747.
This fix incorporates intermediate turnaround points to allow helicopters and small aircraft to turn around soon after slowing to taxi speed and to taxi back to the aprons at the end of the runway, instead of trudging along the whole length of the runway twice. There are some things that cannot be improved; a plane or helicopter will always taxi all the way from the aprons to the far end of the runway before turning and taking off, and a helicopter or light plane will not "land long" to minimise the taxi length.
The pictures show different turning points. There are also revised AI bgl's to provide better time separation between flights.
