| New Alternate Roads for FlightOne "USRoads" |
|
File Description:
USA Roads" is a software add-on for MS Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) marketed by Flight One Software, Inc. and Scenery Solutions. It replaces the default roads and highways which are sparse and only approximate in location, with correctly placed roads, down to the street level.
It has been said by some that "US Roads" look unrealistic, like looking at a Road-Map, because the roads are too bright and clean. In real life the roads are darker and partially concealed by vegetation. I have spent hours looking at aerial photos on the net, and was surprised at how "US Roads" looks very realistic, especially when comparing FS "top-down" views with map-type color photos. The light color roads are very prominent in the pictures, as are the clean lines. In my new "Alternate US Roads", I have modified the various roads using different methods, including actual road photographs, changes in road color and brightness, and the use of irregular transparency to soften the lines and give the illusion of vegetation partially obscuring the roadse. Most textures use images adapted from "US Roads" by kind permission of the author. Extract to a temporary file, and follow the ReadMe!

| World GA Traffic |
|
File Description:
These AI flight plan files have been created as a replacement to (NOT an addition to) the default Microsoft FS2004 GA flight plans. If you already use proper AI flight plans for commercial traffic, this is ideal for you.
The default flight plans, as many know, are far from realistic as traffic just flies back and forth between two airports at regular intervals throughout each 24-hour day.These replacement plans are far more realistic in that:
a) Aircraft keep flying to different airports throughout the day, returning home in the evening.
b) Each aircraft flies to different destinations on different days of the week,
c) Evening flights are substantially reduced,
d) Night flights are minimal, and
e) Appropriate country-based tail numbers are used.
The flights comprise a total of 25389 aircraft, flying to 5520 different airfields. There are no circuits or touch and go flights to hamper your landing.
They use only the MS default aircraft and fly to and from the default GA airports in FS2004. The only vintage aircraft included in these plans are DC-3s and Piper Cubs.

| Skylab 2 Mission |
|
File Description:
The Skylab space station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA
Kennedy Space Center by a huge Saturn V launch vehicle, the moon
rocket of the Apollo Space Program. Sixty-three seconds after liftoff,
the meteoroid shield--designed also to shade Skylab's workshop
--deployed inadvertently. It was torn from the space station by
atmospheric drag. This event and its effects started a ten-day period
in which Skylab was beset with problems that had to be conquered
before the space station would be safe and habitable for the three
manned periods of its planned eight-month mission.

| GaugeGlow v2.0 |
|
File Description:
GaugeGlow is an easy to use tool that allows you to quickly set or adjust an aircraft's 2D panel lighting and the luminous glow of your MS Flight Simulator aircraft's lumious instruments. The virtual cockpit (VC) lighting is controlled by gauge designer and aircraft modeller, and cannot be modified by GaugeGlow.
GaugeGlow gives you a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) view of a sample aircraft panel & instrument with easy to use but sophisticated tools to discover the RGB lighting values to create the right lighting effect for your panel. Before GaugeGlow, a panel designer would have to "estimate" desired RGB values for lighting settings, modify configuration files, and then run Flight Simulator to see if they got it right. With GaugeGlow, you can select colors easily with slider controls, and imediately see the effects on panel and gauge lighting just as it will appear in FS under any lighting conditions.
The licensed registered user will be able to easily open any aircraft's panel, to load existing settings, make changes, then save them. Unregistered you'll have to take the data you see and using your knowledge of the SDK, edit the aircraft's config files to make the actual change in that aircraft's night lighting.

| Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Castlegar |
|
File Description:
Hi again Flight Simmers. This adventure takes place in the Interior of British Columbia Canada, which is a very rugged and mountainous area. In fact, one of the toughest areas of the World, for any kind of planes to fly regular routes. I flew this route with 2 different airplanes. One with the Dornier and one with the old DC3 Dakota. With the more modern airplane, you can fly in and out of the route in IFR conditions with no problems. But with an aircraft that has a maximum of 500 to 900 Feet per minute rate of climb, you have to fly in VFR condition out of Castlegar to find an area that will allow you to climb to IMC(Instrument Meteorological Conditions) from VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions). The DC3 I flew is by Bill Rambow, Roy Chaffin and Jan Visser. This, folks, is simply the BEST airplane that I have ever seen for MS Flight Sim, since 1982! This airplane and all the necessary scenery for this article can be found at http://wings.ark.com in the Full Throttle directory and probably at the Flight Simulator World web site. A list of all the necessary or nice to have files are listed on these pages.

| Memmingen Airbase (ETSM, South-Germany) including MilCom AI-Traffic |
|
File Description:
This airbase, located in the beautiful Allgaeu (Bavaria, South-Germany) about
55 NM in the west of Munich, was the homebase of the JaBoG34 riding the F104
1964 thru 1987 and then the Tornado PA200. After JaboG34 had been dissolved
in 2003, it was decided to use the airfield for commercial air traffic.
In memory of the JaBoG34 at the "Memminger Berg" and to keep the ATC people busy,
I created this airfield with combined military / commercial AI-Traffic.
The included AI-Package contains Lockheed F-104 GAF, Republik F-84F GAF,
Panavia-Tornado GAF, Airbus-A310 GAF, Lockheed-P3 Orion GNY, Boeing-727 with
UN paint, Boeing-737 Lauda, Bombardier CRJ-200 Lufthansa and aircraft.cfg for
MS: Beech-Baron 58, King-Air 350, and Learjet 45.
Several F104's and Tornados perform touch and goes in the local area, further an
UN-B727 leaves IFR to Decimomannu (LIED) and a GAF-A310 goes IFR to Cologne.
Some of the commercial airplanes perform touch and goes also, a CRJ-200 goes
IFR to Munich and a Lauda-737 goes IFR to Vienna per attached flightplan.
Lago's FSE is required in order to see most of the major buildings / objects.
Welcome to the party again.

| AI_TrafficList |
|
File Description: AI_TrafficList is a clone of Pete Dowson's TrafficLook.exe All AI (Artificial Intelligent) aircraft on the ground and in those the air are presented in tabular list that is updated as information becomes available. AI_TrafficList duplicates Traffic Look in large measure and adds these items. The column alignments and sorting can be specified. Individual columns can be removed or included. Like TrafficLook, the columns can be moved. Both air and ground aircraft are presented simultaneously in a split screen that's adjustable. A print button produces a tab or comma delimited text file including the column headings and all data from air and ground AI craft. Finally, the update interval is adjustable. This program (written in C# .NET) requires that your computer have Microsoft's .NET Common Language Runtime installed. This comes with XP but available for ME at the MS update site. Obviously you need FS2004 installed on a computer and Pete Dowson's FSUIPC.dll in the modules folder. AI_TrafficList is designed to be run on a networked computer connected to your FS2004 machine by Pete Dowson's WideFS. For that reason, you will have to obtain and install FSUIPC and WideFS from Pete (http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html). Direct connection to the "freeware" version of FSUIPC.dll is not supported

| Airline Inventory |
|
File Description:
Not long ago I embarked on a project to streamline my flight simulator's AI setup. I knew I had too many aircraft texture sets that I was not using, too many unnecessary night texture files, installation of defunct airlines, and the like. So, I put together a spreadsheet showing my AI system with all the airlines and additional pieces such as vehicles and ships. This has been a very large and time-consuming project as my AI system has more than 7,000 texture sets, more than 2,200 airline folders, and other assorted AI components. Inside you'll find an Excel spreadsheet with all my airlines (more than 2,200) listed, Birds, Blimp, Corporate Aircraft, Defunct Airlines, Douglas DC-3, Float Planes, Government Aircraft, Helicopters, Medical Aircraft, Military Aircraft, Personal Registration Aircraft, Ships, and Vehicles - all associated with the FS AI system. In addition, I've included the spreadsheet's source text files for those that do not have Microsoft Excel. NOTE: You can download an MS Excel spreadsheet viewer (freeware) from the Microsoft site. Because of copyright restrictions and the size of my AI system, I have not provided links to specific files. However, I think you'll find the data very useful. See the readme file for a list of possible sources and contact information. Frank Bass

| CargoJet Flight Plans |
|
File Description:
Attached is an Excel Flight Planner including recent (Jan/Feb 2019) scheduled flight plans for CargoJet for use with the CaptainSim 757-III Freighter expansion.
A couple of weeks ago, I made two CargoJet liveries for the CS 757-III Freighter, available at Avsim:
https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=&Author=meier&CatID=p3dacrp
To use these files, copy the attached .rt files to your Captain Sim route directory:
*\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Captain_Sim\757-III\Routes\
These accompanying route files (60+) DO NOT include any SID or STAR data, nor do they include any performance information (cargo/fuel weights)...I've intentionally tried to keep these files customizable with any ATC program you may be using.
The Excel spreadsheet use should be pretty straight forward (it was designed using MS Excel 2019...you'll need MS Excel 2013 or newer for the macros to work correctly).
The spreadsheet will open to a worksheet containing CargoJet's current, scheduled route network. From this worksheet, simply select a departure location from the buttons on the world map.
Once a departure location is selected, a second "Flight Planning" worksheet will open with a UserForm Box directing you to select an airport destination based upon your selected departure location.
The UserForm box is pre-populated only with current destinations from that departure airport (based upon current CargoJet Jan/Feb 2019 schedules obtained from online flight tracking data).
I've included a weather snapshot download from each of the departure and destination airports into the flight planning worksheet.
I have not yet included enroute weather information...that may come in a "V2" of this flight planner.
As I have not yet included enroute weather information, flight fuel calculations/fuel burn are only approximate for now. Down the road, I may also include calculations for derate temperatures...that will take considerable more work.
I think this Flight Planner is a pretty good version 1 for sharing. In the absence of a website dedicated to a "CargoJet Virtual Airline", I thought this Excel spreadsheet and accompanying flight plans may be of benefit to anyone who might enjoy flying the CS757-III Freighter expansion with CargoJet livery.
Personally, I was fortunate to already have the full compliment of SimAddon airports (Canada wide) which makes for enhanced enjoyment of the CaptainSim 757-III add-on and this flight planning spreadsheet. (That statement wasn't intended as a promotion for people to go out and buy the SimAddons software!!!)
I haven't had a chance to test all the flight plans yet...I'm hoping I haven't made any errors!
Anyhow, I hope this spreadsheet and flight plans can be of benefit to others.
Feedback always appreciated!

| Project Mercury Addon Enhancement Pack |
|
File Description:
An enhancement package for the Project Mercury addon for Orbiter created by Rob Conley at the Medville Space Center http://home.alltel.net/estar/orbiter.html This enhancement pack contains updates to the REDSTONE, ATLAS rockets and the MERCURY Spacecraft. The REDSTONE texture was hand crafted in MS Paint (believe it or not) using archived pictures of both Freedom-7 and Liberty Bell 7 pre launch pictures as guides. It is now historically accurate, and cleaned up quite a bit. The ATLAS now sports a realistic corrigated booster section (with the texture taken right from a picture of Gordo Coopers pre-launch Atlas) and the upper section now has the frosty look that occured with the Atlas when it was loaded with LOX and fuel, and some historically accurate markings were included. The improvements to the MERCURY CAPSULE are numerous. It sports a real window (texture taken from a close up shot of Friendship-7), more darker exterior color that is more accurate, crisper detail, improved antenna housing and capsule top. Please note that there are TWO versions of the capsule exterior texture included. One called CAPMAIN.DDS sports a realistic name printed on the exterior, not assiciated with any real mission (America 7), and the other texture, CAPMAIN-NOLOGO.DDS, has no logo imprinted. Refer to the README file for instructions on how to change this to the non-logo capsule.
