Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class
Land classification, or land class (NOT "landclass"), is how Flight Simulator depicts the ground textures. For much of the FS world, the ground is not representative of the real thing, however. There have been complaints because of this from those who do not understand the cause of the problem.
This document explains the basic concepts behind the land class system, why it is inevitably inaccurate for most of the world, and the very easy-to-use tools with which to fix this.
Also includes instructions for modifying water class.
This is an html document for universal compatibility.
You do not have to be a computer programmer in order to change the land class. Anyone can do it quickly and easily.
So, why complain about it? Do something!
Very sorry - no support of any kind is offered for this document. Please consult the AvSim Scenery Design forum for any questions.

File Description:
FSX Douglas C-117D United Nations UN-147 repaint textures for the freeware
Manfred Jahn and team Douglas C-117D (c117d_v1_beta.zip), which you must
have previously installed in FSX. Repainted using Mr. Jahn's Photoshop paint
kit templates converted to bitmap and dds for compatibility with freeware
paint programs. Saved in 2048x2048 32bit. All hand painted details, including
photo real decals. Also includes engine exhaust smoke coordinates which you can
add to your "aircraft.cfg" if you wish. A fictional repaint based on paint
features seen on several real world UN aircraft, with the number UN-147 on
the rear fuselage where the registration number is usually located, which is
based on the real world UN aircraft Casa C-212 UN-146, which was operated by
the Uruguayan Air Force FAU-531 until it's mountain crash in Haiti in 2009,
killing all 11 peacekeepers on board. This UN-147 repaint wears the Uruguayan
Air Force markings and flag also, in remembrance of UN-146.
Screenshots enclosed. Easy installation. Repaint by Tom Tiedman.

| AFG Heads Up Guidance System Version 2.0 |
|
File Description:
FS2002 Heads Up Guidance System. This photo realistic HUD is based on a real world
HUD used in 737s and regional jets. It's the second version of the award winning AFG HGS v1 which was first true heads up guidance system for MSFS
because it can be used by itself for all phases of flight and has special modes for
instrument and visual approaches. There is a flight path vector and a guidance cue that can
command a change in flight path as small as .04 degrees. Panel.cfgs for DreamFleet's 734,
project magenta and some of the default panels, along with a pdf manual are included. New features include autoland (without default FS2002 approach guidance) which solves the infamous glide slope capture problem. The code has been rewritten so there are much faster frame rates, more accurate guidance, more accurate flight path vectoring and more.

File Description:
Do you think they'll let you into the Kings Bay Naval Base? Probably not. Take your boat back south and spend the night on the beach at Fort Clinch. Return the boat in the early afternoon watching out for Navy aircraft carriers coming and going through the inlet. Keep an even sharper eye out for fighter jets and patrol planes as Jax has Naval Air Stations all over the place! Zip down to St. Augustine and check out Castillo De San Marcos and the country's oldest school house. Hurry west to Gainesville to catch a UF college football game. If it ends early enough maybe check out the drag racing near the airport before flying north in the morning to explore a civil war battlefield. Spend a few hours in a raft floating down a 72 degree crystal clear spring before heading back to the real world.

File Description:
Lockheed F-104A/B Starfighter (Pakistani Air Force), aka the Zipper, Coffin Nail, Flying Coffin, or Missile with a Man in It (in untrained hands it resembles a lawn dart). I present a comprehensive AI traffic model package for this hotrod of military jet history. Going into production in 1955, this aircraft was manufactured, directly or by license, by 6 countries, and served the air forces of 17 countries. Late examples served until 2004, nearly fifty years after its introduction. An original 7-LOD model brings this historic aircraft to the flightsim world. This package represents the F-104A/B in the service of the Pakistani Air Force; with a total of 6 models and 24 repaints. I am also including some optional variants with manual install instructions, on a separate document in the zip file. Original aircraft model and textures by Michael Pearson, flight dynamics by Michael MacIntyre.

I am unable to include them in this package due to Project AI rules, but a visit to their site is well worth the effort!
Further instructions in the package.
Enjoy!

| Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX |
|
File Description:
The Spitfire was developed continuously throughout World War II, through some 24 versions. A major revision of the original Spitfire was the Mk IX, a model quickly cobbled together to meet the challenge of the newly emerging Focke-Wulf 190. The high-altitude version Mk IX was essentially a Mk V with a 1,710-hp Merlin 70 engine, capable of more than 400 mph. From 1942 to 1944 5,665 Mk IXs were built, and at war's
end many were still in RAF service. This is the airplane flown by Lt.-Col Robert (Bob) Rogers, commanding officer of Nr. 40 Squadron of the South African Air Force in Italy during 1944.
This model has full animation, full lighting effects and a realistic panel with accurate views in all directions. a Checklist is also provided. The "Aircraft overstressed"-problem that occurs when trying fast maneuvers has also been rectified, so you can throw it about at your hearts content. HAPPY FLYING!!

| X3ER - RAF East Wretham - Norfolk, England |
|
File Description:
RAF East Wretham (ICAO X3ER) is a former Royal Air Force station located 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast of Thetford, Norfolk, England.
East Wretham airfield was hurriedly brought into service during the early years of World War II as a satellite airfield with No. 311 (Czech) Squadron dispersed there from RAF Honington on 29 July 1940. A more permanent allocation followed in September. The squadron operated their bombers from the airfield until April 1942 when it transferred to Coastal Command.
Later, RAF Bomber Command No. 115 Squadron RAF, operating Vickers Wellington Mk IIIs and later Avro Lancasters, occupied the airfield from November 1942.
A plan to turn East Wretham into a "Class A" airfield was not carried through, the bomber unit moved to Little Snoring and the station turned over to the USAAF for fighter operations and in October 1943, was assigned USAAF designation Station 133 and was allocated to the United States Army Air Forces Eighth Air Force.
