| Piper PA-23 Apache Panel Upgrade (2D and VC) |
|
File Description:
If you’ve flown in Lynn and Bill Lyon’s Piper PA-23 Apache then you’ll likely know where I’m coming from when I say it’s one of the best payware old GA aircraft models out there. Like the Maule and a few others, it’s one of the few freeware packages out there that could have easily been released as payware (and I think may have initially been payware), and I for one, am very grateful it was not.
However, one of the big gripes with the Apache’s package is the lack of a DME display unit to couple with the Collins multi-comms/avionics gauge, a directional gyro with a heading bug and a suitable autopilot insert to bind the avionics to one AP unit. Initially the PA-23 was sold as an IFR capable plane, with the autopilot being either “good trimming” or the person in the right seat flying the plane. In the decades which followed, autopilots and updated gear became commonplace and most Piper PA-23’s were outfitted with modern avionics.
This upgrade will replace the bank indicator with a Directional Gyro w/ Heading Bug, add a DME indicator, and add a Bendix/King KAP 140 autopilot controller.

Charlie Hungsfinger Took off from KaraKose in Eastern Turkey in his
Yellow Piper Cub happy to fly his 87 take off in his Eastern Europe
VFR tour.After a great 400 ft high, mountain hopping flight he desided to land in
a little town he saw at his 3 O´clock to get some water something to eat and
directions for he knew he was lost. He called the tower at Karakose and told them of his intentions.
Two hours later Charlie was behind bars in an Iranian Army base....With a possible
International Incident about to happen!!!!!!

| British Airways Winter 2009/2010 (including BA Cityflyer) - Version 2.0 UPDATE |
|
File Description:
A comprehensive collation of schedules for the Winter 2009/2010 season. 100% of flights, with BA Cityflyer fully inclusive. Full attention to detail has been taken to ensure that every flight is accounted for, and even greater attention to detail has been made to allocate the correct registrations for specific routes (predominantly the Boeing 777-200's, with some being Gatwick based, and also the different engine variants and seating configurations for specific routes). I have included EVERY single aircraft in the fleet, but with doing this, Heathrow gets very crowded at times and therefore, I have had to include a number of "maintenance" flights to free up space at Heathrow. Majority of these flights are to Cardiff (as per real life), but some aircraft will go to Chateauroux, Zurich, Amsterdam and Brize Norton. There are a few maintenance flights aswell for the BA Cityflyer planes, to free up parking at London City, going to Manchester and Edinburgh respectively. New destinations are included in these schedules, namely Sharm El Sheikh, Male (Maldives), Punta Cana, St Kitts, Las Vegas and more, aswell as the A318 service from London City to New York. ** NOTE THIS IS AN UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS UPLOAD, AND FIXES THE INCORRECT A318 SCHEDULES **

(TEXTURES ONLY)
(ONLY TESTED IN FSX: STEAM EDITION)
So I made a slight mistake in my last add-on (The Northwest Orient Cargo 747-200SF one) where I provided the resources required for advanced animations to be enabled in the POSKY 747 from Rikoooo, since in they default they did not include it. In there, I accidentally added the wrong "Contact Points" line that causes the 2 inner main landing gears to be slightly tilted when on the ground. I fixed it here. To apply the fix, just copy and paste the contact lines inside the aircraft.cfg file, that's it.
I originally supposed to be making 1 single livery for this exact aircraft, which is the 2002 Colors wearing the "Thank you for 41 Years" Sticker, but then went into a rabbit hole and found about the small Yokoso! Japan Sticker in the 2000s, the "BIG express" Decal in the 90s, and also the "Nippon Love Goal" Sticker. So I just had to do it.
I also improved the windows by using the windows from the CLS 747 Paint Kit, and re-arranged them.
Instructions and more information are included in the readme file.

| KCMH - Port Columbus International - Columbus, Ohio, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Port Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio, is a gem of an airport for aviation buffs. It first opened in 1929 at a site chosen by Chales Lindbergh, as part of an air-rail route from New York to Los Angeles. The original terminal building has been restored and is now used for office space. Two of the original three hangers are still in use (I included the third hanger in the scenery). The six hanger Lane Aviation FBO was added in 1935 and has been in operation these 78 years. In 1959 the modern terminal was first built, with additions and renovations to follow. Netjets opened their facilities in 2001. With the exception of the runways, this version of KCMH was built entirely from scratch. This is the first large airport I've done in which all buildings on the field (except for the control tower) are custom made and partly or fully photo textured. I've also made more use of ground photo textures. Many hours went into the creation of Port Columbus International Airport for FS9. I hope you enjoy it. My thanks to Wil Morgan of FRAME-RATE-FRIENDLY Studio (WWW.FRFSTUDIO.NET) for the AI aircraft parking assignments and general testing. The vintage TWA textures for the DC3's are by Dale De Luca.

| RPMD - Francisco Bangoy International Airport/ Davao International Airport, Philippines |
|
File Description:
This Afcad/AFD for RPMD - Francisco Bangoy International Airport/ Davao International Airport in Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines was made with ADE V1.37 and is for the default RPMD airport in FSX. The Afcad/AFD was was made with ADE V1.37 and is for the default RPVM airport in FSX. It was made in response to a user request.
Francisco Bangoy/Davao International is a significant hub for the southern part of the Philippines and sees domestic traffic from Philippines Airlines (PAL Express through to A343's), Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific. Asian Spirit and South East Asian Airlines. The airport handles international traffic - currently limited to Cebu Pacific flights to and from Hong Kong and Singapore and Silkair flights from Singapore.
Aprons and taxiways have been changed, additional GA maintenance aprons added, taxiways re-aligned and surfaced correctly, jetways added, gates and parking spaces coded for airlines and aircraft types using the airport. The tower was changed to be more representative of the real thing.
The default airport lacks coding and the radius of gates is inadequate for the any of the commercial aircraft coming to RPMD, so use of this file very significantly increases traffic. Tested with WOAI, Henry Tomkiewicz's Cessna Props package and custom AI.

| TLPC George F. L. Charles Airport Castries, Saint Lucia |
|
File Description:
George F. L. Charles Airport (TLPC) is a small airport in Saint Lucia, mostly serving the caribbean Islands. It is the airport that is situated in the north of the island in the capital city of Castries.
It serves quite a few regional airlines mainly operating turbo props like the dash8, ATR and smaller types, but has handled bigger types in the past such as MD82 (BWIA) and B722 (AMERIJET). Since stopped because of noise complaints. (SIGHS)
This is my first attempt at scenery design. I was motivated to build this scenery because I grew up near the airport and always enjoyed flying in there Whether in real or in the sim.
Since FSX, there`s been no scenery built for it and I could not stand the default scenery. So almost two years ago, not knowing a thing about scenery design and where to start, I embarked on this project. It is by no means perfect, but I think it is better than what is on offer. There are no custom ground textures cause I have not worked it out yet, maybe in a later update. The buildings where all made with Google Sketchup8 free version and converted with ModelConverterX and added to FSX with Instant Scenery 2. ENJOY.

| Lockheed L-749 Constellation Base Pack |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Dimensionally identical to the first-generation Constellation (L-049), the
post-war 749 had more powerful engines, additional fuel tanks, strengthened
landing gear, and much improved performance. Equally good for shuttle hops
and long-range flights, L-749 Connies entered service with major 1950s
carriers such as Eastern, TWA, B.O.A.C., Air France, KLM, Quantas, and many
others. Another customer was the Air Force, which placed an order for ten
aircraft (designated C-121A) in 1948.
Included in this sim package are seven
models and five textures, covering variants with and without "Speedpak"
cargo pannier, weather radar, and "jetstack" exhausts. KLM texture by Jaap
de Baare (representing "Flevoland", the last 749 in flying condition today).
TWA texture N6003C "Star of America" by Hans Herrmann. EAL, Air France, and
MATS textures by Manfred Jahn (including "8609", a frequent visitor to
airshows all over the world until 2005). Panel textures and additional
gauges by Diego S. Barreto, model and VC by Manfred Jahn, panels, gauges,
and animations by Hansjoerg Naegele, flight dynamics by Luis Pallas,
wingview angles, lights, and exhaust effects by Bill Tyne and Roland Berger,
checklist and documentation by Volker Boehme, flight test and handling
research by Stefan Werner. The 749 project has been hosted by Tom Gibson's
Calclassic forum at http://calclassic.proboards55.com.

| Schefferville CYKL & Squaw Lake CSZ9 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Schefferville is a town in an area of Quebec that is surrounded by Labrador, the border taking an unusual wriggly course instead of the normal Canadian straight line. One has to presume that there was a lot of political negotiation involved. Take a look at Google Earth to see what I mean. The town was established in 1954 (initially at a site a bit north of the present location, and with a different name) to support newly established iron ore mining. To assist with the exploration for further iron ore and the construction of the railway it seems that there was a forced relocation of native population. Although iron ore mining around Schefferville in its current location flourished through the late 1960's these relocated folk were neglected and suffered "destitute poverty". Through the 1970's iron ore mining declined and ceased in Schefferville in 1982, when most of the 4,000 or so non-native residents left. Since the year 2000 there have been moves to reopen mining in the area and production restarted in 2011, the approximate date of this scenery. The main reason why iron ore mining started again in Schefferville as opposed to any other area in Quebec or Labrador is the existing railway, used for ore transportation. There is no road connection and the airport is the only other means of access for the 250(?) town inhabitants. This population figure is somewhat of a guess, and the town inhabitants are largely company officers who change and move in and out as required by their work. Schefferville airport is to the east of the town. It has a single lit asphalt runway that is aligned 18-36 and is 4,975 feet long and 150 feet wide, with PAPI at both ends. Air Inuit flights connect with Kuujjuaq to the north and Sept-Isles to the south with onward connections to all parts of Canada. There are other charter flights for company personnel. The terminal building has been renovated and the photos show just how dilapidated it had become before this was done. I like it. This scenery also includes Squaw Lake, a float base that is used by Air Saguenay. Or was, as the company was closed in 2019 after an accident involving several deaths. The reason for Air Saguenay establishing a float base here was, once again, the railway, which allowed people to reach Schefferville for a reasonable cost. They could then use the float planes for a shorter distance and reasonable price to reach fishing lodges on the lakes to the north. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

File Description:
Hythe Village and Pier
Hythe Village [Town] nestles between the edge of Southampton Water and the New Forest, some 500 yards west of the ‘American Base – RAF Hythe’; the surrounding area is known as ‘The Waterside’. Hythe, with its waterfront, boasts incredible views across Southampton Water, while the village [town] centre, with its Georgian High Street, offers a range of shops, services, traffic-free precincts and parking facilities. Nearby is ‘Hythe Marina’, to be found on Southampton Water's southern shore; it’s a unique development of a 206 berth marina, together with waterside homes, shops, restaurants, bars and a boutique hotel.There is also a passenger ferry which sails back-and-forth from Hythe Pier to the City of Southampton every 30 minutes. Before Hythe Pier was built, ferry and other boats arriving at Hythe had to use a gravel hard ramp which ran from the land out to the low tide point in Southampton Water. Walking along the hard gravel was not easy and travellers often got very wet. Various ideas to improve the situation were suggested at the time and construction of Hythe Pier was eventually started in October 1879 and officially opened on the 1st January 1881. Many World War II heroes departed from this pier on D-Day in June 1944.The pier itself stretches some 640 meters into Southampton Water and is one of the ten longest piers in the British Isles. In 1922, a narrow gauge electric railway opened in order to take passengers the full length of the Pier. This railway, with its original engine and rolling stock, is the oldest operating electric pier train in the world and is still operational to this day – playing an important part in the local transportation system between Hythe and Southampton.
