| Whale Island (Hi Resolution Photo and mesh), New Zealand |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whale Island (Maori Name: Moutohora) is a small island located off the Bay of Plenty coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is located about 12 kilometers north of the town of Whakatane. A whaling station existed on the island during the 19th century. The 1.43 km island is a remnant of a complex volcano which has eroded, leaving two peaks. This is still an area of volcanic activity and there are hot springs on the island in Sulphur Valley, McEwans Bay, and Sulphur Bay.
This Hi Resolution scenery was created from a 0.25m pixel resolution Ortho-rectified Aerial mosaic owned by Environment Bay of Plenty (The Bay of Plenty Regional Council) and flown in 2007. The imagery has been slightly de-sampled for use in Flight Simulator X and utilizes the a custom hi resolution 5m Mesh derived from photogrammetry data off the photos. The textures are intended for summer daylight flying only, although due to the evergreen nature of New Zealand's native bush, the Islands appearance remains relatively constant throughout the year.
The island contains a small helicopter pad which is used for checking the various radio antennas on the Island. There is also a small Department of Conservation hut near the south western tip of the Island. These objects have been added from the FSX library of objects. Make sure to turn up your graphics sliders to make the most of this data! To find the Island fly north from Whakatane airport.

| Lions Air Dornier 328 EXECJet |
|
File Description:
With this I took some liberties... Lions Air Flies the Dornier and on their turbo
prop version has what I think is quite a beautiful paint scheme... I applied (to the
limits of my basic Microsoft Paint program) a close representation of this. Since
they do not..to my knowledge fly the Exec Jet version... I changed a couple of
things.. the LIONS AIR on the engine cowls is not quite the right size - and the
Lion's Head is not quite the same - this is because I haven't yet found a clipart
that is close enough to modify (However am still searching and will upload something
closer when I find it, which of course will change the Cowl display.. and then I will correct the size. I included a photo of the prototype in the file so you can see for yourself. Also.. if you use a panel that includes cockpiut and cabin views like I do(I use the panel from the Fokker F100 -- hey, its close and like I would ever see the flight deck of a real 328 anyway LOL) I have included a .jpg of the Exec Cabin... just convert to a .bmp and paste over the cabin view in your favorite panel... Textures only... you will need to download the Mike Stone package... pmstone.com
One last item... will also attempt to smooth out the curve... toward the center of
the aircraft... this is because the fuse is in two sections... but... hey, am still
an extreme novice at this

| Flight Simulator First Officer V2.2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Flight Simulator First Officer is a generic virtual copilot for FSX and FS9. The primary function of FSFO is to assist the Pilot In Command (PIC) to fly the aircraft safely while adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is accomplished via virtual checklist and sharing of cockpit duties/responsibilities. Specifically, the First Officer reads the following configurable checklist: Before Start, After Start, Before Takeoff, In-Range, After Landing and Shutdown. After reading the checklist items, the Copilot will wait to ensure you (i.e. the pilot) have configured the aircraft correctly before proceeding to the next item. Also, the Virtual copilot is capable of performing the following actions: Call Vspeeds based on your input, Raise the Landing Gear on Takeoff, Retract the Flaps, Manage the taxi/landing lights, Land the Aircraft, Tune the ILS frequencies, Call Climb Power based on your input, Reset Vertical Speed when the Aircraft is within 1000 ft of the programmed altitude, IAS warning (e.g. Aircraft is above 250 IAS while below 10000 ft), GS Warnings (e.g. Aircraft is above 25 knots while taxing), Resets the altimeter to standards when passing TA, Engage Heading Hold on Takeoff, Engage Altitude Hold on Takeoff, Reset Speed on Takeoff, Engage Speed Hold on Takeoff, Engages Rev Thrust on Landing, Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) and much more...

| Lake Hood LHD and Z41 in Anchorage Alaska UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version that is complete in itself and which greatly upgrades Lake Hood Airstrip Z41 and also makes minor modifications to LHD. Lake Hood is right next door and to the north of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, and there is a second airfield on the north side of the lake called Lake Hood Airstrip. The airstrip is coded Z41, the International is PANC, and Lake Hood itself is LHD. You will need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada for this to work, and you should also download and install Anchorage International (verson 4?) by William Morgan of FRFStudio. LHD/Z41 includes a fair proportion of the 780 float planes that are based there and which make Lake Hood the largest and busiest float plane base in the world, averaging 190 flights per day during the year and a lot more than that per day during the summer months. There is fuel at two places on the lake, and a lot of maintenance help available. The documentation showing the VFR routes to Lake Hood is also included in the Lake Hood VFR procedures folder, and basically, if you listen to the ATC chatter, planes either route via the Ball Park or the Gravel Pit, which gets abbreviated to something like "You want the park or the gravel?" which wouldn't mean a whole lot to an unrehearsed stranger. Unfortunately FS doesn't reach that level of sophistication, but you can still take the right route. There is a google marked map showing the locations of the checkpoints.

| Quesnel CYQZ in British Columbia, Canada |
|
File Description:
Quesnel is around 65 miles south of Prince George, at the junction of the Fraser and Quesnel Rivers. It has a population of less than 10,000 and is reliant on the timber industry and tourism (hiking, canoeing, fishing, hunting) in the surrounding area for it's income. The date for this scenery is, once again, around 2010. The airport is on the northern edge of the town and has a runway of 5,500 feet aligned 13-31 with PAPI at both ends. Because of the surrounding terrain runway 13 has a right hand VFR circuit. Parking for GA aircraft is organised by the Quesnel Flying Club in a grassed area adjacent to the concrete and asphalt apron. Also adjacent to the apron is the extraordinary terminal building, and next to that is the comparatively very ordinary building that houses the flying club. There are the usual airfield and plane maintenance buildings, and at the southern end of the runway two private hangars. There is also a Fire Base housing personnel that either drive from the base or fly by helicopter to deal with local forest fires at ground level. The AI included here is for Central Mountain Air and GA. I added to and adjusted the CYXS AI so that there are GA flights between CYXS and CYQZ, so just replace your current CYXS AI with this new one. Please email me if you find faults, such as a plane without textures. Note my newish email address at the end of these notes.

| LYBE Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport |
|
File Description:
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (IATA: BEG, ICAO: LYBE) is the primary international airport serving Belgrade, Serbia. Previously known as Belgrade International Airport, it was renamed in 2006 in honour of Serbian-American scientist and
inventor Nikola Tesla.
The airport is situated 12 km (7.5 mi) west, of central Belgrade, in the Surcin Municipality, surrounded by Syrmia's fertile lowlands. Passengers on the right hand side of planes descending from the east have a view of downtown
Belgrade, especially the districts of Cukarica and Novi Beograd. In 2008 the airport installed ILS CAT IIIb equipment to allow aircraft to land and depart in the heaviest of fog, which in past years led to numerous flight diversions
mostly in late December and early January.
The airport is owned and operated by the Public enterprise Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd��. The company recorded profit of 21.5 million euros at the end of 2010.
The national flag carrier and largest airline of Serbia, Jat Airways, uses Belgrade Nikola Tesla as their main hub. It is also one of the hubs for low cost airline Wizz Air. Aviogenex charter airline, and air taxi airlines Air Pink,
Jat Airways AVIO taxi, Prince Aviation and Pelikan Airways also call the airport their home.
The airport charts are included.
This file has the right coordenates, with the apron and characteristics of the airport, airport vehicules and buildings, please take note the the gates numbers needed to changed: C1A= C11, C3A=C13, C5A=C15; general aviation parking
were added a extra number due to repetion on the numbers.

| YMNG - Mangalore Airport - Victoria, Australia |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Mangalore Airport is located in central Victoria, Australia and provides pilot training services and facilities for student pilots.
This airport has been modeled from photographs freely available off the internet. This package has two versions. One is for anyone who has the orbxAU/Blue package installed and the other is for generic fsx landscape. The two options are provided as the blending of the airport into the surrounding scenery is different for each. I have modeled the main terminal building and a couple of buildings close to it and the control tower so as to look something like the actual ones but I have used generic textures in addition to some of my own. All the other buildings are generic ones and chosen for their size and architectural resemblance (albeit rather vague because of the generic library lack of choice) to the actual ones. I have included two hangars of my own but these are not exactly like those at the actual airport but
are similar in size and shape. This means that the overall layout reflects the actual airport but
the finer detail does not. In any event its an improvement on what came with the default version.

| RAF Bodney - Norfolk, England |
|
File Description:
Originally built as an RAF Bomber Command station the airfield was grass-surfaced and located on slightly rolling land with a hard surface perimeter track.
Initially it was used by aircraft of No. 21 Squadron RAF and No. 82 Squadron RAF (No. 2 Group) Bomber Command. They carried operations over France and later the Netherlands and even Norway. Their Bristol Blenheim IVs were joined on occasions by, in May 1941, 90 Squadron evaluating its new Boeing Fortress Mk 1s some Handley Page Hampdens for mining operations. 90 Squadron suffered heavy casualties and the use of the Fortress I was discontinued. Towards October 1942, the Blenheims were changed to Lockheed Venturas but the squadron moved on to RAF Methwold before the Venturas were operational.
RAF Bodney was transferred to the United States Army Air Forces in the summer of 1943. Placed under the jurisdiction of VIII Fighter Command of Eighth Air Force, it was primarily the home of the 352d Fighter Group, the "Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney". The unit briefly moved to Belgium in January 1945 due to the Battle of the Bulge, although it returned in April. It was closed after the 352d returned to the United States in November.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D 44-81506, owned by David Nock in the UK, registered as G-TDJN, and based at Halfpenny Green airfield. This particular aircraft was originally built for the USAAF in 1944, and in 1951 it was one of a hundred AT-6D's loaned to the RCAF, where it was operated until 1953. The aircraft was then acquired by the Panamanian AF, where it remained until 1967 when it was imported back into the US, at which time it was registered N7231C. David Nock acquired the aircraft in 2009 and had the US-based company Midwest Aero Restorations (noted for their authentic Mustang restorations) perform a full restoration on the aircraft. Completed in 2011, the aircraft won the Reserve Grand Champion WWII award at Oshkosh that year. The aircraft was restored in the authentic markings of AT-6D 43-13048, which was operated as a station hack by the 353rd Fighter Group during WWII, based at Raydon, England. The aircraft was imported into the UK in 2012, where it was re-registered as G-TDJN. Both UK and US registration options are provided with this repaint.

| Aeroflot Russian Airlines Fleet Pack 5 |
|
File Description:
Aeroflot began in March 1923 as Dobrolet with a mixed fleet of De Havilland, Vickers, Junkers and other aircraft. Dobrolet merged into Dobroflot in 1929 and flew all services within Russia. By 1932 the airline was called Aeroflot. After the second world war international sevices began. At one stage Aeroflot had a massive fleet of over 7,500 aircraft although this fleet was pretty much ALL the civilian aircraft in the former Soviet Union. Aeroflot began the world's first sustained jet airline service using Tupolev Tu-104 'Camel' jets (developed from the Tu-16 'Badger' bomber) on an extensive internal route network from the summer of 1955. The Tu-104 saw service until the mid-1970s. After the breakup of the Soviet Union Aeroflot broke up into lots of smaller carriers and became known as Aerflot - Russian International Airlines. Aeroflot began using leased Boeing 767s and 737-400s alongside the older soviet types and with a revised livery. The Russian flag replaced the Red Flag. Airline history supplied by http://airlines.afriqonline.com. The fifth release contains the Aeroflot ANTK Tupolev TU-154M aircraft. Contents of the packs include only textures. Aircraft model is by PAI and can be obtained at the associated sites. These packages support MRAI fightplans for WI04. Repaints are by Frank Bass.
