| Wekweeti CFJ2 in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wekweeti is a small village in the Northwest Territories, around 120 miles north of Yellowknife and 100 east of Gameti, which was recently posted. It has a population of around 125. There is no all-weather road access and the village is reliant upon the airfield for supplies, along with an ice road in the winter months. The area is a complex collection of lakes and small rivers and the airfield is around 3 miles east of the village on a lake shore. The lit gravel runway of 3,400 feet with PAPI at both ends is aligned 307T-127T with T standing for "true" and not the unreliable magnetic heading in the Canadian northern domestic airspace. The airfield is served by Air Tindi from Yellowknife on an almost daily basis, included in the AI here along with some GA and a Thursday delivery by a Buffalo DC3. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Flight to Area 61 |
|
File Description:
Captain Igor Kringbrinsky of the "Special Air Service" will be piloting flight XX-C4 to " Special Area-61"
better known to pilots as " No-whereland".
As usual he is being moved to the base at the Ust-Kamenogorsk Airport (UASK) three days before the
flight. Using an old ANT-2 he will carry electronic supplies(????) and will also pickup on the way to the
different locations (To be known only before the flight) special personnel that work in these places and
who are coming out for vacations.
As co-pilot you will have to check the plane before the flight and since on this flight you are to be rated,
previous to becoming pilot-in-command for future flights, you will do all take offs and landings.---Carefully
study the maps given to you for the " secret" locations you will land before you reach Area 61.
These "locations" may be on "Roadways", mountains, valleys and even large airports-----
Sorry to say, the Weather this time of the year is "stormy and rain, thunder and high winds may be
expected....This is a hard Mission.

| Marchwood Sea Mounting Centre & Power Station |

File Description:
Marchwood Sea Mounting Centre & Power Station Scenery.
Had a few hours over the Christmas period to have a go at FSX secenery design. Know it's not perfect but using a few free programs, knocked up a Marchwood scene to try and improve the look of VFR Photographic Scenery in the area.
The programs I used as follows:-
Google Earth Pro (to take overhead screen shots of area)
ModelconverterX (to import Sketchup .skp file and convert to BGL
Sketchup Make (to model buildings and export .skp to .dae files)
Microsoft Paint (save copy of screen shot)
GIMP2 (to enhance image & cut / blend image to import to Sketchup)
My thanks to the people who provide these tools especially Arno and the people behind MCX.
The ships I converted from ones provided on the free Sketchup 3D Warehouse, my thanks to them.
Install: Copy the Final Marchwood & MW Power Station Folders to your FSX Addon scenery folder.
Do that for the HMS Trio & Husband Shore Folders also if you think it may improve the scenery. It did using my set up.
Make sure you have the fx_SmokeStack2.fx effect in your Effects folder. If not copy the file into the folder.
Install all as normal using the FSX Add Scenery facility.
Provided as freeware. Not to be distributed by anyone for gain.
Hope you like the scenery and hope it dosent affect frame rates too much.

| General Electric CF6-80 - 767v3 - "Matched FDE" |
|
File Description:
General Electric CF6-80 v2 soundpack simulating the engine type fitted on the Boeing 767.
This is a quite major rebuild of the first Boeing 767 GE soundpack I made in February 2005. I've spent a lot of time tweaking and listening to how the the engines spool-up and I think the results are quite pleasing. Soundset is matched with the flight dynamics engine to make flying a lot more enjoyble. Instead of taking off with 100% thrust to really hear the turbofan and letting the speed rocket up to 240 in seconds and then have to decrease the thrust to 30% to not pass 250knots, you now can take-off with 85-90% of thrust, make a very smooth take-off roll and controlled climb. A recommended N1 setting (thrust) is 85-90% for take-off! New features in this set: Matched to use with the Project OpenSky Boeing 767v4 family flight dynamics engine exclusively (this pack might not work correctly with other 767 planes), New spool and turbofan sound for the interior as well as the exterior, New cockpit environment, Cockpit environment can now be turned off when pushing the "Battery on/off" button (for those panels fitted with these), New interior and exterior APU (These sound kicks in when engines are turned off). Please take a look in the readme for possible important info. Created in FS Sound Studio. Enjoy!

| General Electric CF6-80C2 Complete Sound Suite |

File Description:
After a long hiatus due to payware obligations and a lack of spare time, I'm back with a bang. Over the course of the last few years or so I have slowly worked on CF6 sounds mainly for personal use. Over time I ended up with something that I knew I just had to share with the Flight Sim community. This is a complete all in one download for all CF6-80C2 powered aircraft. Having spent countless amounts of flights on CF6-80C2 powered A300-600s and 767s I can swear by the authenticity of this work. Additionally I have spent hours on end listening to sound clips and watching videos of CF6 powered aircraft. The quality and accuracy of these sounds will absolutely blow you away! I have included 2 specific soundsets for a wide variety of CF6-80 powered aircraft. One for the CF6-80C2A series that covers the A300-600 and A310 and another for the CF6-80C2B & D series for 767-200ER/300/400, 747-400, MD-11, Air Force 1 & C5 Galaxy M aircraft. All sounds are in full uncompressed Stereo and Mono PCM quality and have been expertly edited, mixed and compiled by myself. You will not encounter distortion or phasing issues, and because of this, these sounds are fully compatible with FSX even without soundcones. Remember, payware doesn't automatically mean better! So turn up the volume and bass and let these sounds immerse you to an all new level!!

| Military Base Tour - South Asia |
|
File Description:
“Military Base Tour – South Asia” (MFSA) continues the MILITARY FLIGHTS SERIES which includes “Military Flight Plans” (MF), “Military Flight Plans – Europe” (MFE) and “Military Base Tour – West Asia” (MFWA). In this segment there are 20 new flight plans in South Asia, starting in Kuwait, and moving on through India, Sri Lanka, Diego Garcia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and ending in Singapore. The landing and takeoff at Paro, Bhutan is particularly memorable. A complete Flight Briefing is provided for each flight. Also included are a MFSA ITINERARY and a “Military Flights Master Itinerary” which lists each flight in all four segments of the Series to date. There are a total of 87 flight plans, starting in the US, going down through Cuba & Central America, back to the US and Canada, and then over to Europe, West Asia and now this South Asia segment. The final segment, “Military Base Tour – Pacific Rim” is under construction and will return the series to Andrews in Washington D.C. and make the SERIES a “Round the World” trip. It is suggested that the pilot set up a new file Folder (or file in an existing Folder) to unzip the file “mfsa_flights.zip” to and store the .PLN and Flight Briefing files. The .PLN file can then be copied to the “Flight Simulator Files” to set up the flight, and the briefings printed and available for quick reference during the flight.

| Tongass Remote Airfield v2 - for Tongass Fjords |

File Description:
Tongass Remote Airfield v2 - for Tongass Fjords (FS9)
"Tongass Remote Airfield" v2 (RATR) Alaskan bush flying scenery (Fictitious).
This airstrip is for Flight Simulator 2004 and for the "Tongass Fjords" (FS9) addon by Holger Sandmann & Bill Womack; you must have "Tongass Fjords" (FS9) for this to work. Version 2 is a detailed, stand alone, remake of the first version, see PDF file.
Field history and description:
In the early days this area was well known to prospectors and hunters. A small mine was established and later abandoned. Around the late 40s a crew was contracted to clear a small landing area to gain easier access for hunters and campers. Due to the extreme remoteness of this area that clearing took several years. The last phase was the approach, clearing by hand a descending glide slope through just the tops of the tall trees. There is now just enough room for a very experienced pilot to get in and out of this field. The airfield is 26 miles north of Petersburg Alaska (PAPG). This is a tricky narrow approach with a left hand dogleg and then an immediate right hand dogleg turn just before the final approach. Not much time to set up your approach; also, it's a very short runway. For experienced pilots only, and make sure that your life insurance is up to date. Good luck.

| Republic P-47D-20 365th FG (B4-J) "the Madam" |
|
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 42-75845 B4-J "The Madam". It was the assigned aircraft of Lieutenant John H. Fetzer, from Shreveport Louisiana, of the 387th FS/ 365th FG during D-Day. He was flying as wingman of Capt. Arlo Henry on 6 June 1944, D-Day, when they spotted a number of Tiger tanks trying to hide in a castle. Capt Henry blew up the castle with his bombs, while Lt Fetzer attacked a Tiger with his 1000 lb bombs. His first bomb exploded harmlessly in a field, but his second "my contribution to D-Day" exploded right behind the Tiger, flipping it over 3 times. As for 42-75845, she proved to be a very strong lady. It began its career with the initial start of operations of the 365h FG, with Lt. Fetzer as its original pilot. He named the aircraft after his future wife, Helen. It flew its 200th mission in March 1945, and continued right to the end of the war, as the only remaining original Thunderbolt of the 365th. She was shot up several times, had wings and engines replaced and countless holes patched, but its crew chief, Joe DiMaio remarked that as long as 'the Madam' came back, he would keep her flying, and he did. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

File Description:
SGA/FFX DC10-30 Royal Air Force 101 Squadron: This is a fictional repaint based on the paint scheme used on the Lockheed Tristar of Transport Command. To the best of my knowledge, 101 Squadron has never used DC10-30's. SGA DC-10 model included - This is a complete package containing the aircraft, panel, gauges & sounds. Credit for the work is contained within the readme file.
Number 101 Squadron was formed at South Farnborough on 12 July 1917, and two weeks later went to St Andre-aux Bois, France with FE2s as a night bomber squadron. It main tasks involved attacking enemy communications and aerodromes in Northern France and Belgium, with occasional strafing attacks on troops aimed at drowning the noise of tanks and soldiers positioning for battle in the trenches. In March 1919, the squadron was reduced to a cadre and returned to the UK before disbandment at the end of the year. It remained dormant until March 1928, when it reformed at Bircham Newton and flew Sidestrands in the day-bomber role until these were replaced by Overstrands in early 1935.
At the outbreak of World War II, the squadron was equipped with Blenheim IVs and was involved in attacks against enemy barge concentrations in the Channel Ports. In mid-1941, No. 101 Sqn became part of Bomber Command's medium-bomber force with Wellingtons and flew many night sorties against Germany and Italy. These aircraft were replaced barely 18 months later by the Lancaster and became specialised in airborne radar jamming to disrupt German night-fighters interceptions. After the war, Lincolns replaced the Lancasters and the unit moved to Binbrook. In June 1951, No. 101 became the RAF's first jet-bomber squadron when it received Canberras, and it was with this aircraft that the squadron was involved in operations in both Malaya and Suez before once again disbanding on 1 Feb 1957.
A brief period of inactivity ended on 15 Oct 1957, when No. 101 Sqn joined the V-bomber force with Vulcans as part of the Finningley Wing before moving to Waddington four years later. The squadron became synonymous with the type, and took part in Operation Corporate, the Falklands Conflict, operating from Ascension Island. Shortly after the conflict, the squadron relinquished its Vulcans and disbanded again, until it reformed on 1 May 1984 to operate VC10s in the air-to-air-refuelling role, and has since demonstrated the flexibility the aerial refuelling offers to combat aircraft in such operations as the Gulf War and Operation Allied Force.
Following the disbanding of sister VC10 squadron, No 10, 101 became the sole operator of the type in October 2005.

| BusyObjects v1.0 |
|
File Description: BusyObjects Version 1.0
The BusyObjects framework is a tool for scenery designers that want to add animated objects to sceneries without having to use dynamic sceneries. It can be used to animate ground vehicles, ships, planes and all other kind of moving objects.
BusyObjects is a technology that exploits a new way of animating objects in static FS2k+ sceneries. It allows you to play animations at varying speeds, begin (and end) animations at any time and have complex path definitions for the animated object. Since the object is rendered at different positions for every frame, the object transformation appears very smooth.
