File Description:
The Boeing 787 is one of the most sophisticated aircraft ever designed, and I have worked on several FS models from even before the real aircraft was ever built. I have accumulated so much data relating to this plane that I can now incorporate real world dynamics for it based on extremely realistic information. The aircraft offered here has been modified to offer all of that realism. In the real world, the 787 is flown primarily with autopilot controls, and this model is no different. It doesn't take a lot to fly this plane, and if I were to be offered the challenge I think I'd be up and flying within a few minutes, in a real 787. Because of this, I offer no advise other than normal flight rules.
If you are new to FSX, please learn through the on-board tutorials. I am not a tutor. I do not have anything to do with cosmetics. I do not design panels. All I do is help educate you about the realism of aircraft design. You can look at the aircraft.cfg and the .air file (Airfile Editor Required) to see what I've done in comparison to the original model, but I will not really help you with tutorial related issues. If you find something you think is wrong, let me know. Otherwise, enjoy this model and fly her like the real thing.
Everything I've done here is for educational purposes without any expectation of any monetary gain, and offered publicly for free. What I offer here is protected by the Fair Use Doctrine of International Copyright Law, and you are free to study this as follows:

File Description:
C-5M SUPER-GALAXY:
The US Air Force has initiated a comprehensive upgrade program to ensure the capability of the C-5 fleet to at least 2040. The first phase of the upgrade is the avionics modernization program (AMP). The second phase, the C-5 reliability enhancement and re-engineering program (RERP) is to upgrade the aircraft's engines, pylons and improve reliability. The C-5s that complete these upgrades are designated C-5M Super Galaxy.
This aircraft has been rebuilt using real world aero/engine dynamics which are all public access related, and some based on real world aerodynamic formulas. The aircraft in this version includes all correct aerodynamic characteristics, correct engine dynamics, correct weight/balance, correct payload management, correct wheel details, and correct Moments of Inertia. As far as I know, nothing is incorrect, and any real world C-5M pilot will likely agree. This all required over 5 years of study and test flights in my free time. It is now at a point where I cannot find anything new to correct. This version also includes AFCAD files to help the user simulate realistic flights to/from normal C-5M bases.

| "Janet Airways" Boeing 737-600 BBJ-ER |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
A highly classified small fleet of passenger aircraft known as "Janet" is operated for the United States Air Force to transport military and contractor employees. It mainly serves the Nevada National Security Site (most notably Area 51 (AR51) and Tonopah Test Range (TNX), from their terminal at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport (KLAS). The planes are also used to fly to/from Air Force Plant 42 (KPMD), Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (KNID), Hill Air Force Base (KHIF), and Edwards Air Force Base (KEDW). I encourage you to locate, download, and install the AFCAD files or scenery add-ons associated to these airports from any source you desire, but make sure they are designed for FSX. The fleet's "Janet" call sign, from which its de facto name comes, is said to stand for "Just Another Non-Existent Terminal", or more likely "Joint Air Network". Everything is realistic in this model, now, and most simmers know how inaccurate the original FSX 737-800 was. However, this aircraft simulates the accuracy of a 737-600 BBJ-ER, if there ever was one built. I modified everything to fit that aspect, except for the visual model. The engine characteristics are correct as well as all weight/balance and MOI. I even fixed the wheels to be accurate in base, track and pressure size. Everything I've done here is for educational purposes without any expectation of any monetary gain, and offered publicly for free. Read the Readme.txt file for installation and details. All persons involved with this and the original design are credited, unless they are unknown and have offered no credit details.

File Description:
The scenery includes many airports and locations, including UAON and the Baikonur Cosmodrome where Russia launches all spacecraft. The details are stunning. Some airports are gravel, and some are military use only. I am very sorry to report that the author of this excellant work did not credit himself anywhere within the Russia text document included within this zip file. Google translate pulled only little bits of installation data, but no names. Perhaps he was concerned of prosecution, but I commend him in any case. I do not think any of this is illegal in any way based on today's Google Earth data and our ability to see all the things included within this work. It is truly a beautifully done piece of work, and something I have searched for since scenery were available. It was listed as Freeware without restrictions. This a completely previously unknown scenery compilation found through extensive searches and is original in all respects, designed for FSX.

| AH B-17F "Checkboard" Repaint |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a RedSpade repaint of Aeroplane Heaven's B-17F Fortress This is not a rendition of a known aircraft, but just an experiment that I had using the Paint Kit. I saw a picture of the "Sally B" and thought that ALL the cowlings were "checkerboarded", but that is not the case. The reference image that inspired me, may have also had an erroneous serial number, due to some alterations sue to a movie contract. And then I added the "Piccadilly Lily" nose art, ..... so bits and pieces here and there and some way a fantasy of my own imagination. Many thanks to my friend Bruce66 for some brilliant ideas that spurred me on. Thank you.
Not tested in FSX, but it should also work there.
