File Description:
Version 1.1 adds the three hazard beacons that define the boundaries of the night circuit, as depicted in the included chart. Many thanks to Lane Street for creating the beacons and giving us permission to include them in the scenery. This scenery is complete and does not require the previous verion. Dease Lake CYDL airport is located about 2 miles south of Dease Lake in stunningly beautiful northwest British Columbia. (The lake directly to the east of the airport is Allan Lake.) Scheduled passenger service to Smithers and Bob Quinn Lake is provided by Northern Thunderbird Air (http://ntair.ca/). CYDL also serves as a base for Pacific Western Helicopters (http://www.pwh.ca/). This version moves the airport slightly to its correct location. All aprons & taxiways have been redone and all default buildings replaced. The little terminal building is photo real. The missing town of Dease Lake and the missing lake south of Allan lake have been added. This scenery was designed for use with Ultimate Terrain and was not tested in the default scenery. It may or may not work in FSX. Previous version had 307 downloads.

| FSX2FS9 Converts FSX Airport Files for Use in FS9 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
FSX2FS9 is a utility based on the ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine. It allows users to convert Airport Files designed for FSX for use in FS9. The program provides user control over the conversion process including selection of elements to be removed prior to conversion, handling of vehicle path networks and handling of those items in the FSX file which would cause the FS9 compiler to fail. The user also has the choice of whether to allow the program to automatically fix and faults found or to use the built in fault finder for more control. The program uses the Microsoft FS9 Compiler (included) to generate the FS9 Bgl file. The XML source is also available.
Please note that while airports converted with this program should work in FS9 there are a lot of variables and we recommend that the converted Bgl be opened in an Airport Facilities Editor (such as AFCAD, AFX or ADE) for further processing to ensure a satisfactory result.
This program is still a beta and users should use it in that light and make sure that valuable files are back up in a safe place. Please read the enclosed operating notes before using this program.

| SKBO 2011 |
|
File Description:
El Dorado International Airport (IATA: BOG, ICAO: SKBO) is an international airport located in Bogota, Colombia. It is the largest Latin America airport in terms of cargo movements with 593,946 tons (2010) and the third in terms of passenger traffic, only behind Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport and Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport, transporting 18,934,203 passengers in 2010; as well as the largest airport in Colombia and the main international and domestic air gateway in the country, serving as an important hub for Avianca, Copa Airlines Colombia, Aires, Satena, EasyFly and other cargo companies.
This file has the right coordinates, with the apron and characteristics of the airport. The runways were reoriented to the correct direction, runway were resized the gates placed on correct location and number, CATAM was placed (Colombian Air force and Colombian National Army) and Colombia National Police and Colombian National Armada were assigned a correct apron. All the jet ways including the ones of the executive terminal are working. There is a copy of all the airport charts required to navigate in and out of this airport which are courtesy of: Areonatica Civil de Colombia

| FSX Metal GUI |
|

File Description:
I designed this for myself to darken the default User Interface for 2 reasons. I have bad eyes that are sensitive to bright objects on the screen, and I like to fly the simulator in the evening hours with the lights turned off in the room. I hope you like my end result.
I also added 2 bonus features. Instead of hearing the Windows/Internet Explorer click sound when you mouse click on a menu item, you now will hear the "Fasten Seatbelts" sound effect. Be sure to back up the original sound "checkc" in case you find the new sound annoying. Secondly, I have included 4 optional Aircraft Viewer images that give the selected aircraft a more airborne look. I will make switching these simple by adding them to the Generic Mod Enabler(JSGME) that I will include in the download.
The look is created using Diamond Plate and Polished Aluminum textures, and modifying the buttons with some more color.
This is Freeware, and I am giving permission to anyone that wants to create their own and upload to any site they wish. I do not wish that you have to mention my name in any credits.

| Boeing 737-600 NGX Janet "Enthusiasts Edition" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I've been intrigued by the mysterious "Janet" flights out of Las Vegas for many years. Needless to say, I couldn't wait for PMDG to get the -600 released so I could simulate those flights.
This new repaint for the AWESOME PMDG NGX 737-600 expansion differs from the PMDG house version in a few minor ways:
A new, very clean wing texture with a painted upper surface and completely new wing spec file, reducing reflection in the flat painted areas while maintaining a nice shine and fixing some bleed in the chrome on the house version. And a slightly different color mix for the engine cowlings and fuse stripe. And the last paint difference, I cleaned up the fuse dirt leaving just a small amount on the belly and giving it a fresh-from-the-paint-shop look.
Finally, I've made a new preference file (.ini) based on cockpit photos of the plane taken shortly before leaving Air China for service in the U.S. This file was created post-SP1 and should meet those standards.
The PMDG 737NGX base pack and 600/700 expansion are required. PTP file only. Install with livery manager provided with your NGX.

| YDON Dowerin Town and Airstrip (Modelled for Dowerin Field Days) |
|
File Description:
YDON Dowerin is home to the Dowerin GWN Field Days, currently a two day annual event (held in the last week of August) showcasing agricultural and associated equipment, as well as providing information and services to people from rural areas. The Field Days attract on average in excess of 600 exhibitors as well as over 15,000 local and national visitors each day.
The event was first held as the Dowerin Machinery Field Day on 3 September 1965, and was the result of meetings by the Dowerin Progress Association the previous year which looked at ideas to prevent the town of Dowerin from becoming a ghost town. Some twenty exhibitors and two thousand visitors attended the first field day, with funds raised from the first event going towards funding the construction of a dam and a grassed tennis court. The event continues to be run and managed by the local community, with three full time staff and 400 volunteers involved in the event's running each year. REQUIRES Blencowe_LibraryKit.zip

| HALA - Hawassa Intl. - Hawassa, Ethiopia |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project adds the booming city of Hawassa, Ethiopia, creates the new international airport (HALA), moves (and rebuilds) the downtown airport (recoded to HALX), and includes AI flight plans for the Ethiopian Airlines service that began April 2016. Tested in both the default FSX: Acceleration and with FTX Global/Vector, accurate coastlines, lakes, road data, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. The Hawassa International Airport was created using information from the current satellite footprint and the promotional video from Ethiopian Airports Enterprise (EAE). Although there is still very little published data on the airport, it is fully functional.
Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the set created by Jim Dhaenens. Thanks to Ron Blehm for bringing this part of the world to my attention.

| RAF Barkston Heath - 1944 |
|
File Description:
At the time of its construction, RAF Barkston Heath in common with a number of other airfields in the Grantham area had been planned for the RAF's No. 7 Group. In late 1943, Barkston Heath was made available to the United States Army Air Forces Ninth Air Force and designated as USAAF station 483. It was earmarked for basing troop carrier units scheduled to be transferred from Sicily to participate in the forthcoming cross-Channel invasion, Operation "Overlord"
American 61 TCG aircraft based at Barkston Heath carried British paratroops on the ill-fated operation Market Garden.
The USAAF returned control of the airfield to the Air Ministry in June 1945 when the war in Europe ended. Barkston Heath was used by No 256 Maintenance Unit and No 2 RAF Regiment. Beginning in May 1948.,
RAF Barkston Heath has the Naval and Army Elements of No. 3 Flying Training School (3 FTS) which, for a period between approximately 1995-2010 operated the Slingsby T67M260 Firefly two-seat trainer. The school now operates the Grob Tutor T1. A secondary role of RAF Barkston Heath is as a Relief Landing Ground for the flying training activities at RAF Cranwell.

| Galena PAGA Runway and Taxiway Lighting in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Galena is in Alaska, and this posting adds proper runway lighting to the gravel runway that is used in the winter by light planes on skis, and because of that is not cleared of snow; unfortunately a gravel surface that gets snow covered in winter cannot be replicated in FS9. There are also taxiway lights visible during the day and at night there will be lit taxiway lights. I did not attempt to replicate the complicated main runway lighting which is well covered anyway by FS9. First of all, download and install the Library Objects once and for all from either the Allakaket Lights or Anaktuvuk Lights postings earlier this week. Then put these new bgl's into the existing scenery folder of your previous Galena PAGA installation and say yes to replace the existing bgl's that have the same names. Add the texture folder contents to the existing texture folder as they are required for the red warning lights at the ends of the gravel runway. There will be further retro upgrades to other recent scenery that was posted with temporary lighting. Say thank you to Greg Putz for making the lighting.

| Hawker Hurricane Mk.I (Z5664) ML-KNIL |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Hawker Hurricane by Aeroplane Heaven. It shows Hurricane Z5664 of the Dutch East Indies Air Force.
The KNIL (Dutch East Indies Army) had ordered 12 Mk.I's in 1941 but these were never delivered due to a lack of engines. But 39 Hurricanes destined for the RAF in Singapore were diverted to the Dutch East Indies after the fall of Singapore early 1942. They arrived with HMS Athene in Batavia on February 4th 1942, with 4 more arriving with SS Phrontis from Singapore. These aircraft were then taken into service by the RAF and Dutch. The Dutch aircraft, about 12 retained their RAF colours, national insignia were replaced by the orange triangles.
The Hurricane's equipped two units, of which one aimed especially at the defense of Batavia.
They saw action against the Japanese invaders in February and March 1942. There are no pictures known of these aircraft, but there are some records on them. Some were painted in the RAF desert camouflage, others the European camouflage. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Aeroplane Heaven.
