| Essweiler Gliderfield, Germany Ver. 1.0 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Essweiler is actually a classic glider field, but also engine aircrafts up to 2t are approved.
The field is situated in the region Rheinland-Pfalz/Germany at a hillside eastly of the village Essweiler, approximately 7,5 nautical miles north of the well known US-Airbase Ramstein.
The environment of the airfield is adapted by land classes. Surrounding villages and major roads are initially implemented.
As well the field is covered by a photo background, which includes four different images , each for one of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The buildings in this scenery should match quite good the originals. But also a lot of objects from three very popular freeware libraries are used.
If these libraries are not installed, many objects are not visible!
The following libraries are used:

| Minstrel Island CAX7 float base in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the third in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Minstrel Island is on the south side of Knight Inlet and 25 miles west of Knight Inlet Lodge (the previous post in this series). There is a resort on the island, though it is hidden from the air by the trees. Fuel and oil are both available at the dock, and there is a 17 feet tidal range, which would be interesting of it could be replicated in FS. The AI is an adaptation of that for CF36 and involves a GA Cessna, and a Seair Beaver flying from Campbell River to Knight Inlet Lodge via Minstrel Island. Again, because of large hills the landing of the AI may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not they fly into solid rock before landing. Take off and departure will take place. Ultimate Terrain Alaska/Canada would be a definite plus to get the water in the right shape and place. This scenery will not work without it.

| OMNI Aviation Cessna 182 repaint (Default) |
|
File Description:
OMNI Aviation is a Portuguese company whose services include executive/private jets & turbo-props & helicopter charters & leasing, as well as an aviation school, with its headquarters in Cascais Municipal Airport in Portugal (ICAO: LPCS).
Besides these activities, OMNI is also the owner of Portuguese charter airline White Airways, which also operates the ATR-72's on behalf on the Portuguese national carrier TAP Air Portugal, under the subsidiary name TAP Express.
I decided to do this paint because I recently enrolled in an ATPL course at this school, and I wanted a 'familiar aircraft' in my FS2004 collection. Although the original airplane is a Cessna 172 and OMNI owns no C182's, I made this repaint for the 182 because not only do I like it better, it was the only default FS2004 plane I had a paintkit of. A repaint of the 172 may come soon though if I can find a paintkit for it!
Also this is my first and so far only repaint for FS ever!

| AI Package - Airlines of Hong Kong and Macau 1998 |
|
File Description:
Looking to bring FlyTampa's Kai Tak scenery to life? This package will do that! Included are all 1998 flightplans and repaints required for Cathay Pacific, Cathay Pacific Cargo, Air Macau, Air Hong Kong, and Dragonair on FAIB and FSPX models with P3Dv4 native textures. Passenger flights are based off of the summer 1998 Offical Airline Guide(OAG), while Air Hong Kong and Cathay Cargo are representative based off early 2000s schedules and backdated to represent 1998. Included are up to 3 versions of each airline; standard, lite(with minimal variations), and bonus(including extra textures/aircraft not active in 1998 but from that era). Note that the FS Painter models are payware and this package does not support FS2004/FSX. This package is a small part of a much larger 1998 AI Project that will include all scheduled, cargo, and charter flights to project countries along with select GA and military traffic and backdated airport scenery/ADEX. Please follow our progess at: www.facebook.com/flightsim98. Repaints by Ranmori Scythe, flightplans by Chasen Richardson

| North American P-51D 364th FG (5E-V) 'Estrellita' |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51K #44-64077 5E-V "Estellita" of Lt. Curtis L. Smart, of the 385th FS/364th FG, based in Honington, UK. As the story goes, just prior to being assigned to England to fly fighter aircraft, Lt. Smart’s wife gave birth to the first of three daughters. Estrellita was the title of a Mexican song that was popular in those days, which translated to “Little Starâ€, and this was given to the child as her name. Smart’s first P-51 was named Estrellita but the aircraft was lost, so too was the second and ultimately he received the third aircraft to bear the name, now Estrellita III. The nose art was never completed as intended. If you notice the odd extension to the bottom of the “Eâ€, this was supposed to be a shooting star with a classic early US star with red center forming the shooting star portion.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

| Republic P-47D-20 365th FG (B4-U) "Turnip Termite" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-15-RE 42-76127 B4-U "Turnip Termite". It was the assigned aircraft of Captain Arlo Henry, of Dearborn, Michigan, of the 387th FS/ 365th FG. He had touched the ground with his prop on one of his earlier missions and the ground recovered from his engine on that occasion gave rise to the name 'Turnip Termite' for his aircraft. On 7 June 1944, Lt Joseph Miller was flying Henry's B4-U over Normandy when he thought he was low on fuel and could not reach the base in England anymore. He bellied in near Omaha Beach in a minefield, and he had to walk out through the fresh furrow created by his aircraft. 'Turnip Termite' was recovered, but was consigned to be salvaged. The cowling panels with the name were used on later versions of Capt. Henry's 'Turnip termite'. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

| Caproni-Vizzola C-22J Ventura |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The Machine:
A fully aerobatic, very-light Jet that compares to the Bede BD-5J, but heavier and sporting two instead of one TRS-18 turbojets. Up to Mach 0.47 and 650 NM of range, with a service ceiling of 25000ft. A low stall speed (for a jet) makes the aircraft good for short field operations.
Certified for VFR operations only, yet includes a good avionics suite.
This is a "Classic" aircraft featuring "Steam" gauges and radios. Yet, controls and systems are easy to operate.
The History:
The C-22J is the last aircraft to be adorned with the legendary Caproni name. Originally known as "Caproncino", then marketed as "Ventura". A very-light jet developed in the 1980s as a military trainer, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. Powered by two TRS-18 turbojets fed from a dorsal NACA intake, the aircraft reached Mach 0.47 and was fully aerobatic. The airframe shows its origin in a glider design, the Caproni A-21 Calif. After the merger with SIAI Marchetti, the project was cancelled in favor of the SF-260.
The Simulation - 3D Model:
This aircraft ships with a 3-D cockpit, that incorporates realistic night lighting, in the form of a dim dome flood light, backlit gauges and luminous digital displays. The flight crew of 2 is affected by your input in the payloads menu of Flight Simulator, allowing to choose between male, female or empty seats. The Copilot Figure can be hidden with a quick click in the internal 3D view as well.
The Simulation - Realism:
This aircraft has been tuned with the invaluable help of Engineer Carlo Ferrarin, who created the real aircraft. Unique and one-off documentation has been kindly provided, and used extensively, for the creation of this product!
Just like the real aircraft, the systems are simple and of easy operation. Engines can be started with the press of a button. Systems modelling allows the following of real-world checklists as closely as Flight Simulator allows. An in-sim checklist is included, as well as a full flight manual.
The flight model is tuned with advanced aerospace techniques, resulting in a highly realistic aircraft, yet, it is very pleasant to fly, both during aerobatic displays or "A to B" cruising.
Highlights:
- High-Resolution 3D cockpit
- Full Documentation
- Aerobatic
FS-2004 Version comes with limited support and is free due to platform limitations. See Readme. FS-X & P3Dv4 (64-bit) versions are commercial products.

| DA Fokker 70 Panel Controller V2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This release covers the changes to the panel.cfg file after updating the DA Fokker to the latest release.
After flying the DA Fokker 70 and 100 for a while, I realised that not all FS pilots would have access to a programmable joystick that would enable them to assign a button to operate the various pop-up panels in the Fokker, so I thought that a gauge mounted on the flight panel that centralised the controls for the pop-up windows may be a handy addition. After adding the gauge you will be able to access the following pop-up panels using the mouse from one centralised position on both the Pilot Flying and First Officer the panels. From left to right the pop-up panels are as follows.. The Upper Row Includes the Overhead Upper, Overhead Lower, Pedestal Forward. Pedestal Middle and Pedestal Rear... The Lower Row Includes the Radio Stack, CDU, Doors and Ground Power, Secondary Annunciator Panel, Enlarged Left Hand MFDU Also included are instructions on how to add the Groundhandling gauge by Rob Barendregt to the Doors and Ground Power panel of the Fokker.

| Indian Creek Farm Field CF07 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Indian Creek farm field (Re-upload WITH THE MISSING TEXTURES!) is in Ontario and southeast of Ottawa, less than two miles east of two other real-life farm fields I have already posted (Russell Farm, and Russellette Strip). The creek is just north of the runway in the trees, though it doesn't show in FS with or without Ultimate Terrain.
There is a grass runway 08/26 that is 2,100 feet long and has lights; the grass could be better (I mean there could be more of it) but the drainage is good. There is a large hangar that is right by the house and is heated (wow!); this is for the owner. There are also eight other hangars which are slightly basic and without doors, which means boxes over the wheels so the tires don't get chewed by the wild life and canvas hangar fronts for the winter. All the hangar buildings are modeled specifically for this scenery. The runway has been there for 22 years, and before that (though with a large gap between) there was a military grass strip as a relief field for nearby Pendleton .

| Kenmore Village Field CF08 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kenmore Village Field is in Ontario, at the northwest corner of the village of Kenmore. Kenmore is around 13 miles southeast of Ottawa airport and 3 miles east of Bank Farm Field. The village doesn't appear in FS as it is too small, but I have recreated it based on the roads that show in Ultimate Terrain. There is a grass runway 09/27 (actually 086/266) that is 3,100 feet long, and the grass is good, and with lights. The field is owned by a gentleman in his mid 70's who sold his plane five years ago and less than two years later discovered that he really didn't want to give up flying; he then went out and bought another slightly older and cheaper version of the one he sold. The house is in a direct line with the runway approach from the east; try to miss it. There is a large hangar and workshop behind the house and to the north of the runway center line, and a second older hangar on the same side a bit further along, both modeled specifically for this.
