| Trans Orient Pacific (TOPAC) Douglas DC-4 N4665V |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of one of the 2 aircraft used in the film "The High and The Mighty" (John Wayne and Robert Stack - 1954). This aircraft actually flew in this paint around Los Angeles and the bay area of southern California in November of 1953 for in-flight footage, so it's entirely fictional...but the airline was.
The original repaint was by Dave McQueen for Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4/C-54 version 2.0. I have updated it to make it compatable with the Jens' new version 2.1 (DC4_v21.zip) to use the DC-4-1009 airfile. Load your plane with 3050 gallons of fuel and balance out passengers and cargo to total 73,000 lbs. and you can duplicate flight #420 in the film! If you wish to shut down engine #1 and dump 200 gallons of fuel from the left wing and see if you can still get to San Fransico from Honolulu, that's up to you..but it is a challenge. Enjoy!This repaint requires Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4/C-54 version 2.1 (DC4_v21.zip)

| AI Flightplans for 910 Tanker air carrier DC-10-10 - v2 |
|
File Description:
Here is a simple flight plan to be used with AI Malcontent's brand new DC-10-10 fire fighter based at Victorville (KVCV).
I used RPP FP Gen v1.0 and the flight plan covers different airports in California (most of the destinations are generic, as this aircraft is shown in just a few airports on the photos available on Airliners.net).
I'm not able to read flight plans, but there are lots of legs and I think the stopovers during the week are very short.
So keep in mind that this is just something to see the aircraft in the sim and not aiming at extreme realism, to be used until someone makes something more decent.
A user kindly wrote me and suggested to remove flights to KACV, whose runway is too short. Instead of modifying the flight plan I preferred to redo it completely. Check the readme file for more info.
This file replaces the old version (10_tanker_air_carrier_dc-10_ai_flightplans.zip), which is not available anymore. If you down loaded it, please recompile the .txt files included in this zip.

| U.S. Army Bell OH-58 Kiowa - Flat Matte Finish |
|
File Description:
These are 2 flat matte finish repaints of the default Bell 206B JetRanger helicopter included with FSX. No other files are necessary. The liveries are for Bell OH-58 Kiowas - California Army National Guard #0-21868 and U.S. Army 1st Cavalry, 2nd Battalion, 227th Air Regiment #0-16192. Appropriate pilot markings are included with each repaint. The Bell OH-58 Kiowa is basically the civilian Bell 206 series helicopter with longer rotor blades and an upgraded engine (also military avionics). Over 2,200 Kiowas have been delivered to the U.S. Army and have been actively serving in a variety of roles since the Vietnam War. The armed version is known as the AH-58 Kiowa attack helicopter. The Bell OH-58 Kiowa can be found in countries such as Canada, Australia, and Israel (among others), whether exported by Bell or built under contract by Agusta. The flat matte finish gives a more weathered look and is considered more prototypical for military camouflage as it is less reflective. However, some people do not like the look but I offer it as an option. Enjoy!

| China Lake NAWS, CA. AFCAD JANET |
|
File Description:
This is the AFCAD to a top secret facility known as China Lake Naval Air weapons station in California. The stories are wide and far ranging about this secret place in the desert.
There is a supposed underground tram system running 180 MPH under the Death Valley mountains to Area 51. (some reports of the tram running up to 275 MPH) Lockheed has a targeting and ranging station on base used to develop aircraft that are invisible. (the craft blend with the sky) Orbs can be seen here, UFO's reported daily, and on and on.
Folklore,? maybe. I dont know anything. Speculation only. Gates are approximated. My work is free to the simming community. Please do not sell any of ol' Bucks work.
Please do not include my work any any pay packages. Free is good. God bless the USA. If this is subversive to the USA, please feel free to pull my AFCADS.
P.S.: SDK is included with Lee Swordys installer. I had trouble getting this AFCAD to install so good luck. That is why I have included the SDK.

| SkyWest / United Express New Colors Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia (N293SW) |
|
File Description:
The Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia is a workhorse short-haul regional carrier aircraft flying throughout the state of California and the western United States for SkyWest Airlines. SkyWest flies the largest fleet of EMB-120's in the world and the majority of those fly the skies of the Western US. Most of these Brasilias fly out of San Francisco (KSFO) and Los Angeles (KLAX) many times daily to destinations like; San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and Fresno just to name a few. I want to recognize and thank Daniel Halpern for his permission to use the excellent and realistic bare metal engine textures. It adds a great level of realism to the end product. The original model and default textures are by Erick Cantu and the paint kit is by Steve Drabek and Daniel Halpern. This is a textures only package; you must have the EMB-120 package by Erick Cantu, Daniel Halpern and Steve Drabek available here at AVSIM (filename emb120.zip). The fuselage and tail textures in this repaint are 32-bit with no-mips.

| New 300-m (LOD7) Terrain Mesh of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska #4 |
|
File Description:
Mid-resolution (300-m) terrain mesh for the entire province of British Columbia (950,000 square km) and the Alaska panhandle southeast of N60 W139. Made from 250m-resolution source data without oversampling. Easy on frame rates and hard drive space. It transforms the rounded mountains of the default terrain mesh into a much more realistic representation of the diverse topography of this beautiful corner of the world. Experience the spectacular scenery between Vancouver and Atlin, Juneau and Fort St. John, and Mount Robson to Clayoquot Sound. Fourteen independent mesh tiles allow you to select the region(s) you like best. Several high-resolution add-on meshes will be uploaded separately. By Holger Sandmann. Part 4 of 4: All areas between 48 and 51 degrees North. Note: this part contains updated read-me.txt and .pdf files - please use these instead of the ones distributed with the first three parts!

| FMC Manual For Begginers - In Greek Language |
|
File Description:
The handbook of the Flight Management System (FMS) that you hold in your hands was written taking into consideration the supply of minimal essential instructions to the Greek Flight Simmers. In this handbook are reported enough at greater length all those actions which should be known by any virtual pilot in order to begin his/her virtual flights using and operating the abilities of the FMS of his/her aircraft. This handbook is separated in three parts. The first part has to do with the familiarization of the cockpit of the aircraft, the second has to do with the Start-up procedure of the engines and finally the third part has to do with the programming and usage of the FMC during flight. For this handbook, the FMC of the payware model of PMDG B737NG was used as an example.
This handbook is written in Greek Language...

| Mesh South America / MeSA Islands |
|
File Description:
FSX Mesh South America Project:
This terrain mesh file is a part of a whole project covering all the Continent of South America and some islands, divided in tiles identified in a map by its column (letters) and rows (numbers).
Those files were multi-LOD compiled from 90m SRTM2 source data, reprocessed with 3DEM to remove voids and spikes, providing a 76.4m (LOD9) horizontal resolution topography intended for use only in FSX updated with SP1.
Although not well documented, to improve performance, the updated FSX loads DEM files in threads and only the closer terrain (about 5 NM from the point of view) is rendered in high detail, while at far distances FSX shows up its default low resolution mesh, when there is not a third part terrain mesh compiled in all others intermediate level of details (multi-LOD).
