Black Cat Catalina PBY5/5Av1.1 for x-plane

File Description:
This update includes improvements to the fuselage shape, addition of retractable wing floats using wheel farings, an improved but not custom panel, improved prop efficiency and more. The PBY Catalina is probably the best known flying boat with over 4000 produced by Consolidated aircraft and licensees. The Black Cat squadrons all done in flat black played havoc particularly for the Japanese in the Pacific. Fitted with radar, with a 15 hour endurance and 2800 mile range they hunted Japanese naval ships by night and bombed or torpedoed them by the hundreds up. There are 6 engine nacelles used in the model, 2 represent the 1200 HP radial engines driving the props, the others are jets with 5 lbs of thrust, 1 is used for the rear fuselage section, 1 is used for the wing pylon, 1 is used for the flare from the fuselage to the vertical stabilizer and the last is used for the forward observation and gunner space. Two are not used. Wing sections are taken up by the main wing and the support spars so there you go. The fuel tanks are used for the side gunner pods since these can be decorated separately. The plane flies very well and is stable as a rock. Takeoffs from water are quite easy as long as you don't dip a wing tip (no floats remember). The Black Cat squadron logo used in the paint scheme is courtesy of http://www.daveswarbirds.com/blackcat/logos.htm and is from the VP-71 Black Cat squadron.

CH-47D Chinook Hellenic Army Aviation

File Description:
Greece has 15 CH-47D. The 9 of them are upgraded CH-47C to CH-47DG in 1995. The other 6 are CH-47SD. In 1980 Greece ordered 10 CH-47C Chinook. The first arrived in Greece in 1983. The first Greek Chinooks formally were belonged to Iran but after the fallen of Shahs, they were given to Greece. In 1984 took place the first accident of the Greek Chinooks when the ÅÓ-006 had a heavy landing in Samos Island, during the transportation of a radar. After that the 006 was used as a source. The other 9 in the period of 1992-1994 were upgraded to D (Super D). After the Imia night, the Greek Government wanted to order 11 Chinooks helicopter, 9 SD and 2 SD for the Special Forces. Later 7 Chinooks were ordered. They have analogue cockpit and not glass cockpit in order to be same with the old DG. Also they have the better engine T55-L714A (4.868hp). This Chinook package is only for the FSX, but in case you want to fly it on your FS2004,then the majority of the Gauges will not be appeared. The package is complete. Features: model, Virtual Cockpit, new Panel, Sounds, rework Flight Dynamics, two Textures olive green and a dessert camo. The Original Model belongs to Mark Adams & Tom Woods, the reworked Flight Dynamics to Marwan Latif. The textures represent the olive green witch have now the Hellenic Chinooks and the dessert witch appeared until the upgraded of the CH-47C to CH-47DG.

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

New EMU and LRV meshes for NASSP v2.2 (BETA2)

File Description:
This add-on is simply a slight modification to an already superb add-on done by Spacebar Joe (NASSP) and I created it to enhance the ambience and experience of lunar landings in Orbiter. Although the Orbiter simulation engine is still quite limited when it comes to modelling character or land vehicle movement, the NASSP package offers a nice way for you to do this. However, I was not satisfied with the 3D-models that came with the add-on, so I decided to create my own detailed 3D-models for the lunar astronaut (EMU) and the lunar rover (LRV). The new models are named sat5AstroS.msh (745 kb), and LRV.msh (1,617 kb), both of which will OVERWRITE the older NASSP astronaut and LRV models. Please back up these two files (in your meshes folder) before installing this add-on. The LRV was created based on 3-views (plans) photos and drawings that I got from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journals (ALSJ) Website. The EMU model was created mostly from videos and pictures of Apollo spacesuits. It features a semitransparent faceplate (visor up) and you can actually see the astronaut’s head inside the helmet! ;) NOTE that this is still a BETA (work in progress) and the models will be updated periodically. WARNING: Due to the fact that these models are quite polygon-heavy, some slower computers with low-end graphics cards will run very slow if my models are active. There might also be cases when ORBITER will crash due to the complexity of the models. More info can be read in the PDF file that comes with the package.

Beechcraft Staggerwing (VH-AFP)

Images related to this file:

File Description: This folder contains a repaint for the Alabeo Beech Staggerwing in the colors of VH-AFP, as it looked in the early sixties. This machine (c/n 357) was originally built as a D17A and registered in the USA as NC20778 to The Armor Institute on 1 November 1939. It took part in their 1940-41 Antarctic Expedition (which I painted as well), following which it was purchased by Connellan Airways in 1941. However, the aircraft was impressed by the RAAF as A39-2 prior to use by Connellan. Post war the aircraft was returned to Connellan where the original 380 hp Jacobs engine was replaced by a 450 hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior, bringing the aircraft up to D17S standard. It was first registered as VH-AFP on 19 March 1947. VH-AFP was withdrawn from service on 6 August 1951, however it was stored and returned to service in 1956, being re-registered on 3 April. The aircraft was once again withdrawn from service in November 1957 and was sold to Tadgell Aviation of Toowomba, Qld and used for crop seeding. It struck a tree and crashed on 22 December 1963 while seeding at Springton, near Dingo, Qld. Sadly the pilot was killed. The burnt out airframe of this Staggerwing was located in April 2007 at the remote crash site and collected by Staggerwing enthusiast Cameron Hanley and trucked to his hangar at Caboolture, Qld where he is rebuilding Beech C17B VH-UXP (for which two repaints are available as well). Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the blank textures by Alabeo.

UFO - A51

Images related to this file:

• UFO__A51_1.jpg
• UFO__A51_2.jpg
• UFO__A51_3.jpg

File Description: You can fly this UFO model in all directions e.g. vertical up/down lateral right/left, forward/backward, and can stay in a static position on any altitude level. The UFO provides a maximum speed of Mach 4.3 on all altitude levels and the altitude level is unlimited. The overall radius of the model is 170 feet. The overall height is 100 feet. Be aware of this size if you are landing on standard airports. The model includes a animated gear system which is a big gray ring. The red disk on the outside of the model is the rotating UFO engine. In addition the model contains 3 guns which are moving out of the body if they are armed by activating a switch on the weapon control control panel. Important to say, the UFO is not a traditional aircraft. It reacts different and you need to handle it differently too! For more information and how to fly the model, read the documentation carefully and read the documentation first, before you go to fly it !!!! The model and the gauges have been developed for FSX Flight Simulator SP2 or SP1. It has also been tested with Microsoft Acceleration but compatibility is not guaranteed by the author. The format for the panel and gauges is developed for a 4/3 monitor. Use the Wide Screen Panel.cfg if you have a 16/9 Monitor. For installation instructions see the documentation inside the zip file. Credit goes out to: Bob Familton and Geoffrey Bogeaus for improvement, recommendations, testing and review, and to Doug Dawson for his XML IPC interface. Enjoy a new way to fly. Dietmar Loleit

File Description:
FSX Beech D18S. Six repaints for the Shupe/Thomas/Folkers Beech D18S, which you must have previously installed in FSX. I fly the version modified for FSX SP2/ACC by Dave Carroll, but I'll bet these textures will work with most other Shupe Beech 18's as well, so give them a try and see! These 18's are fresh from the restoration shop, sporting new paint in a variety of colors and a newly remodeled earth tone tan interior, which will nicely match any exterior paint schemes on these or any other Shupe Beech 18's you may already have in your hangar. There are no registration numbers or corporate/airline/charter/freighter/military markings, so you are free to add whatever markings you wish in order to customize your own personal Beech 18. If you enjoy using your 'DXTBmp' program and your computer's default 'MS Paint' program (or any paint program you prefer), you can quickly and easily add your own registration numbers, and other markings, or whatever else pleases you! Those of you who fly online in FSX Acceleration could customize your own Beech 18's and have a fly-in to show them off. Don't feel like finishing the paint details? That's cool, as you can also fly them as is if you wish, with no numbers or markings at all, as they look kinda pretty in just their new paint against a sunny blue sky! Includes a new shared 'texture' folder, which replaces the original very blue cabin interior with a new earth tone tan colored interior, to better match all of your Beech 18's exterior paints. Also includes an FSX compatible engine smoke effect. Have fun! Easy installation. By Tom Tiedman
