| North American P-51D 359th FG (IV-B) 'Princess Pat' |

File Description:
This folder contains a second repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51D 44-14534 IV-B "Princess Pat". The original Princess Pat was a P-51C (42-103339) flown by Lt. Edward J. Thorne with the 369th FS/359th FG out of East Wretham. This aircraft was lost 4 NOV 44 to enemy AAA. Lt. Thorne survived and became a POW. This paint imagines he was able to limp back across the lines in his damaged craft and return to duty. 44-14534 did fly with the 369th FS as IV-B, but no assigned pilot is known.
Lt. Thorne was unusual in that he flew from March until November 1944 but never took credit for his victories (by his count, 4-6 in the air and 1 or 2 on the ground), in fact he refused to arm his gun camera. "I do it because it's my job" he said, "...but I don't want credit for it." He is credited with the first reported sighting of an Me-163 Komet rocket plane.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

| FSX/P3D Aloha Pacific Airlines DC-10-30 Circa 1984 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-10-30 in Aloha Pacific Airlines colors. The freeware DC-10-30 by Thomas Ruth is needed for this repaint. Aloha Pacific, an offshoot of Aloha Airlines, was formed in 1984, with a leased DC-10-30 from Philippine Airlines, to provide long haul flights. They inaugurated Aloha Pacific flights from Honolulu to Guam and Taipei on May 28 1984. However, The international service and intense interisland fare and schedule competition placed a drain on Aloha, forcing it to post a net loss of $1.86. The result was the closing down of the Aloha Pacific division just 8 months later, on January 12 1985. Additionally, all DC-10-30 flights to Guam and Taipei ceased. The DC-10 itself ended up with SAS. Textures are DXT5. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.

| Antonov AN225-210 "Colossus" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The AN225-210 is the result of a proposed 1 to 2-year projected modernization program which will
convert the current AN225 into a much more useful and capable aircraft than the already infamous
ÐœÑ€Ñ–Ñ (Mriya) . The latter First flew on December 21, 1988, and is currently 33 years old. There have
been a few maintenance periods and 1 major avionics modification, but otherwise is too old for reliable
future use. The 2 year process involves reconstructing the landing gear system to support much more weight. The
new engines are much more powerful, but lighter in weight, and much more fuel efficient. The wings
are replaced with similar wings with more wing-area built of modern light-weight material which gives
her higher lift capacity. The cargo hold area is reinforced for heavier weight limits. The crew areas
(upper deck, fore/aft main wing) are modernized for long duration flight, and two galleys are included.
The fuel tanks (9) now also involve 3 tanks in the upper center portion of the fuselage in order to put
less stress on the wings. The pressure system is modernized to achieve 6,000 feet cabin pressure up to
FL470. The internal and external lighting is fully modernized, the former for a pleasing effect and the
latter for distinct recognition during flight. Overall, the aircraft does not appear different to the
common observer.

| Italian Air Force, Lockeed F-104G "Starfighter" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lockheed's F-104 "Starfighter" was sleek, sexy, and difficult to fly. Essentially a J-79 turbojet with tiny wings and a place for the pilot to sit, it had a poor turning radius and very unpredictable behavior at high angles of attack along with very high takeoff and landing speeds. Its strength was never in its agility, but rather in its speed. The type was the only aircraft in existence at the time that could sustain speeds of over Mach 2.0, and it had a stellar rate of climb.
The "Starfighter" was an icon among jet interceptors throughout the 1970s. It was built also in Italy (G version), under licence. The first Italian F-104G flown during the end of 1962 and the last one (S version) was retired from active service in 2004 (42 Years !!!).
Textures only for two "Starfighters" of the 9 Gruppo of 4 Aerobrigata of the Aeronautica Militare Italiana (Italian Air Force), the first unit to receive the "Starfighter", based on Grosseto Airport, Italy, 1963/64. These textures require a legal copy of the payware Alphasim F-104G. The paints were done with the paintkit provided by Alphasim/Frank Safranek and the metal base textures provided by Henry William. Repaint by Manuele Villa.

| FSX FA-18 2024 Aerodynamic Performance Upgrade |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a performance mod/upgrade for the FSX Acceleration/Steam FA-18 Hornet. This will also work with both the "Sludge Hornet" and with the "Combat" add-ons. The inspiration for this "Upgrade" came from the YouTube vids of the AWESOME Swiss and Finnish F-18C Hornet Demos at RIAT RAF Fairford! After seeing those, I went to work modifying the "aircraft.cfg" and "FA-18.air" files and got the "old" FSX Hornet to fly like a NEW jet! Think of it like fixing up an old sports car, putting in a new engine, suspension, and when you're done it drives better than when it was new! I've made the upgrade instructions easy and it should only take just a couple minutes to complete. THEN your FSX FA-18 Hornet will look and fly like the ones in those videos!! And it won't just be great at airshow flying, it will also fly smooth and stable around the carrier, and will be LOTS of fun "free flying" through the mountains at 500ft and 500kts! I've also included new/upgraded afterburner textures, and a Shockwave exterior light upgrade. And as a BONUS, I've included BOTH the Swiss J-5011 and Finland HN-411 RIAT Airshow repaint textures.
