| Sorted POI global cities and airports pack for FSDiscover! |
|
File Description:
README:
FSDiscover! Global Point of Interest pack.
Here is a poi pack of roughly 147 000 cities, 40 000 small airports,
1 177 seaplane bases, 4695 medium airports and 475 of the largest
airports.
Airports are split up in categories, small, medium, big, seaplane base.
Cities are split up into files of 10 000 cities each by size.
There are 15 files for cities.
The smallest cities are in xaa, xab, xac, xad, and so on.
The biggest cities are in xam, xan, until xao.
You should open the files in notepad to see for yourself which city
files to activate in FSDiscover! to balance clutter and detail.
This has been my main problem with the default populated places list;
there is no way to sort by population size
Compared to the default FSDiscover! populated places here are some
notes:
I have noticed that in the default FSDiscover! set for europe and many
other places, the coordinates are placed like on a "honeycomb" grid
which obviously is not very precise. In general, in terms of city map
precision, this pack should be better.
In the default pack, in an area I am familiar with, a city was placed on the other side of
a river compared to reality. In many other areas, you can clearly see
that the cities are not well-aligned with Ultimate Terrain europe or
even some places in UT USA. My theory is that either data was not super
precise for europe to begin with or that the dataset has been arranged
in the honeycomb grid fashion perhaps to reduce clutter or something.
Mostly though, the default populated places FSDiscover! file is very
useful for really small villages since these tend to be forgotten in
other datasets. The problems come when you want to filter out smaller
villages or airports. This is where this pack comes in handy.
Since no data is perfect, you can use this pack alone or in
combination with the FSDiscover! defaults. Personally, I put the same
files in both "Documents/FSDiscover Files" and
"Program Files/FSDiscover" so I can pick and choose a useful combo
from relevant sets inside the options.
Personally, I prefer the cities from this pack and the rest
(mountains, rivers etc.) from the default FSDiscover! pack.
INSTALLATION:
Just unzip the archived files into "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\FSDiscover Files"
or "C:\Program Files (x86)\FSDiscover!\geodata" or both!
I do not know if the geodata folder is completely overwritten some
times or not so keep that in mind. (probably safe, though)

| Piper PA-23 Apache Panel Upgrade (2D and VC) |
|
File Description:
If you’ve flown in Lynn and Bill Lyon’s Piper PA-23 Apache then you’ll likely know where I’m coming from when I say it’s one of the best payware old GA aircraft models out there. Like the Maule and a few others, it’s one of the few freeware packages out there that could have easily been released as payware (and I think may have initially been payware), and I for one, am very grateful it was not.
However, one of the big gripes with the Apache’s package is the lack of a DME display unit to couple with the Collins multi-comms/avionics gauge, a directional gyro with a heading bug and a suitable autopilot insert to bind the avionics to one AP unit. Initially the PA-23 was sold as an IFR capable plane, with the autopilot being either “good trimming” or the person in the right seat flying the plane. In the decades which followed, autopilots and updated gear became commonplace and most Piper PA-23’s were outfitted with modern avionics.
This upgrade will replace the bank indicator with a Directional Gyro w/ Heading Bug, add a DME indicator, and add a Bendix/King KAP 140 autopilot controller.

File Description:
P-3B AEW / U.S. Customs and Border Protection package for FSX. P-3C Orion FSX (here) is required in order to use this model.
Two kinds of paint were prepared. This is a native FSX model. However, it is not compatible with DX10. It did not apply the bump mapping. Exterior and painting of this model has been created in more detail than previous work. Especially, the main wing relation (flap and engine nasser, etc.) are the new designs.

File Description:
Spanish Air Force Dassault Mirage F.1DA; for retro AI traffic. This package represents the sell-off batch of Mirage F.1s to Spain from Qatar in the mid-1990s, which served in Qatari colors until repainted later in the standard Spanish Air Force grey scheme. This package uses the Nick Black base model set, but these models have been modified by me from the FSDS source. I have added a few little things to create (nearly) the exact configuration of the aircraft as delivered. I have also made some tweaks to the model to make it a little more painter-friendly. And finally, I have created a host of new French ordnance for original loadouts. All models were compiled with Nick's XML programming in place, so all of his superb original animations are retained. The aircraft also uses unaltered, original FDE by Mike MacIntyre. This package has two main aircraft models, the Mirage F.1EDA and Mirage F.1BDA, and includes 13 serials with many loadout options. The included readme file includes instructions, notes, disclaimers, credits, and anything else I can think of. Original aircraft and source by Nick Black, FDE by Mike MacIntyre, mind control and outstanding guidance by Frank Safranek, model modifications and repaints by Michael Pearson.

| DX10 Shader Fixers V3.2.2 |
|
File Description:
DX10 Shader Fixes V3.2.2 (replaces v3.2.1). These are a set of shader fixes for DX10 Preview mode in FSX. The patch should not effect DX9 in any way. It addresses the following bugs in the DX10 preview:
1) Flashing runways/taxiways
2) Yellow/white runway markings transparency
3) Opaque chain fences
4) Progressive Taxi markings missing
5) Missing night scenery/semi-transparent dusk scenery (often misdescribed as missing night textures)
6) Some addon cars with black headlights
7) Softer VC shadow
8) Eliminates false sun on VC roof and side wall
Also included are an optional replacement water shade, aircraft lights package and an optional replacement background texture. This can replace the light blue DX10 uses and is close to what DX9 uses in the same circumstances.
