| Rybachiy Submarine Base "The Hornet's Nest" |

File Description:
Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base, NATO reporting name "The Hornet's Nest." This scenery is specific to the Aerosoft addon "Kamchatka - the Lost Continent." You are welcome to use it, regardless, but in testing, only half the peninsula showed with the Aerosoft scenery inactive.
Rybachiy has a long and chequered past as the home of the Soviet Pacific submarine fleet. It launched the ill fated K-129 in 1968 and is the final stop for submarines before being "disposed" of, a process that includes either sinking the nuclear core, or interring it indefinitely on a floating platform.
I more or less copied the state depicted in Wikimapia, it shows the docks relatively clear of excess retired subs and 10 or 12 Grumble launchers at the SAM site, which is no longer the case. I wonder who's buying up the retired SA-10's..
The odd looking torpedo on the loading dock is the 240 mph, super-cavitating VA-111 Shkval, which is essentially a rocket engined defensive weapon. A consequence of the presumed and persistent superiority of Western underwater acoustics, it is understood that the enemy would "get the drop." In such a circumstance, the crew would load a Shkval and fire it in the direction of the approaching torpedo, which would force the attacking sub to sever the control wire to avoid being hit.
Elsewhere, at the SLBM dock, you can see the R-29 Vysota being loaded. It is being advertized as a launch platform for low orbit satellites, besides MIRV's, of course. The SLBM dock is removed from the main base. Steer north of west from the docks, or use Wikimapia to find it.
This is an edit and enhancement of a scenery addon already published by Blaunarwal. He did an excellent job adding detail to Yelizovo, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Avachinskiy Bay. I contacted him and asked if he would collaborate and edit his AI boat traffic to match the docks I moved and he graciously agreed. I tried to arrange the files so it would be equally easy to install to the previous version or as an original.

| AES configuration file for the SSTSIM Concorde |
|
File Description:
AES configuration file for the payware SSTSIM Concorde. Docking gates or mobile air stairs will connect with the left forward door. This is the only door that I activated for this file. Tested only with the production models - not tested with pre-production or prototype models. Requires Airport Enhancement Services from Aerosoft. Please note the following: - 1) Due to a limitation with AES, catering service vehicles will not align properly with the right forward door. In AES, its position is deduced from the position of the LEFT door, which with this product, as with the real aircraft, is a few feet further toward the rear. Therefore the gate/stairs willl align properly, but the catering truck driver will miss the mark. 2) I chose not to include baggage vehicles as the forward cargo doors are in an awkward position under the fuselage, and the rear door is too high to be reached properly by the AES baggage vehicles. 3) None of the cargo doors operate on this model anyway.

| Air Saguenay floatbase Lac Sebastien CTD3 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of five sceneries around Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada, to the west of the St Lawrence River and close to Bagotville air base. Air Saguenay are a mainly float plane company that operates hunting and fishing flights to company-owned outposts in northern Quebec, with a fleet of almost 30 aircraft including 11 de Havilland Otters and 14 Beavers as of the last count. Their HQ float base is on Lac Sebastien, which is 30 miles east of the far larger Lac Saint-Jean. There are screenshots of this scenery and others in the series that follow this post in the Lac Saint-Jean QC folder. This scenery includes in the AI an Air Saguenay turbine Otter on floats, which has been modified to operate as an AI floatplane with a new config file. The ai also includes other GA float planes. There are also planes listed that will be required only for the future posts in this series, and the relevant textures etc will be provided at the date of the posts. Some of the Beaver AI planes will only be available if you already have the aerosoft Beaver installed. There are HTAI planes used as AI in this series, updated by Nick Tselepides, and the float planes for this part of the series are included here, Cessna 185's.

| Delta A350-900 Livery Pack |
|
File Description:
This pack is a Delta Air Lines Airbus A350-900 pack. I have included every registration that Delta flies to this day in 2022. This pack included N501DN-N576DZ. N502DN "The Delta Spirit" is one of the unique livery's. Some history on N575DZ, N576DZ, both were from another airline (LATAM Brasil) Delta acquired them and are using them. I have utilized care when painting the registration numbers for this livery pack. This Delta Air Lines livery pack includes the A330 VC from Aerosoft. I included the textures for the A330 which every cockpit registration number is accurate as would be. I want to thank the awesome Tenkuu Development Studios team for an excellent job on releasing this A350-900 model for P3D and FS2004. Textures only. Model developed by Tenkuu Developers Studio, features high resolution textures, dynamic flexing wings, nose gear steering, rudder lock, ground spoilers, low speed aileron locks at high speed, fully animated control surfaces, fully independent suspension, trim animation, opening passenger doors, rolling wheels, animated thrust reverse with reverser block doors, detailed textures, full night lighting, ground service vehicles and more. Model design by Hiroshi Igami. Flight dynamics design by Nate Rosenstrauch. Master textures by Carlos Eduardo Salas and Stian Svensen. For support visit Tenkuu Developers Studio's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tds350 . Will work in P3D and FS9. For FS9 you will need to delete the VC textures. I am planning for future Skyteam member releases of the A350-900.

| Active ILS - LEBL Simwings/New Spanish Airports (El Prat - Barcelona Airport) |
|
File Description:
This file is made for Barcelona LEBL Aerosoft/Simwings FS9's New Spanish Airports. As most know initiating the ILS at certain airports for AI Traffic or the User Aircraft is not a function at this time when using AFCAD2. If you add a new ILS runway to an airport such as LEBL (El Prat/Barcelona 7R/25L) only the user aircraft can use this runway (without ATC commands) when visibility falls below 3 miles. ATC will no longer use this runway for AI Traffic because FS9 sees it as a visual runway. This will cause ATC to vector all your AI Traffic back to runway 7/25 old numbers, 7L/25R new numbers which is also a Terminal departure runway. This ILS bgl file adds all NAVAIDS for making 7R/25L a Precision Instrument Runway by adding all the radar fixes for both the ILS approach portion and the missed approach procedures, altitudes and intersections as per current published plates. All AI Aircraft/User Planes will now continue to use the new 7R/25L runway when Airport weather conditions are less than 3 miles. ATC will also use the right naming/numbers of the runways. The DME/VOR approaches have also been written using the new BCN/PRA VOR's for runways 7L/25R and 02. Many different default FS9 scenery GUID's added including Taxiway Signs. *** FS2004 Simwings Barcelona Scenery AFCAD2 included with the new 7R/25L runway ***

| Consolidated PBY-5A (ZK-AMP) TEAL |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina for FSX, representing PBY-5 ZK-AMP of Tasman Empire Airways Ltd. The Royal New Zealand Air Force had 56 Catalina's in all between 1943 and 1953. They were registered NZ4001-4056 inclusive and included 22 PBY-5s (mostly MklVAs) with the remainder being PB2B-1 s. All were flying boats, with no amphibian models being taken on charge. After the war only half a dozen or so of the best aircraft were maintained in service with No 5 Sqn (squadron code became PA-) and fitted with the latest search radar which had a large radome behind the cockpit. The remainder were put into storage. Two PB2B-ls were loaned to Tasman Empire Airways Ltd (TEAL) for short periods after the war, one (which became ZK-AMI) as a crew trainer, the other (ZK-AMP, former NZ4038 PA-J) to survey a flying boat route from Fiji to Tahiti, later to become known as "The Coral Route" and used by TEAL's Solent flying boats. These two aircraft were eventually returned to the RNZAF before being scrapped.
I have included two versions, one for P3Dv5 (without reflections) and one for the earlier sims (FSX/P3Dv1-4), with slight reflections. I felt these were too shiny in v5, but feel free to try for yourself.
I did paint this aircraft earlier, this paint has been adapted and improved on all fronts.

| Qantas Consolidated PBY-5 5 paints |

File Description:
Five repaints for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of PBY-5's operated by Qantas on the 'Double Sunrise Service' between Western Australia and Ceylon between 1943 and 1945.
In 1943, Royal Australian Air Force personnel were seconded to operate Catalinas under the banner of Qantas. The plan called for flights between Perth, Western Australia, and RAF Base Koggala in southern Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The flights were the longest non-stop air route of any airline, over 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km) across the Indian Ocean. Navigating without the aid of radio, the crews relied solely on rudimentary navigation by compass and stars during the trip.
Only Catalinas had that kind of range, so five PBY-5 flying boats were converted to make them suitable for the trip.
They received camouflage paint, with a RAAF roundel on the fuselage, but also a civilian registration, since they were officialy operated by Qantas, and they were named after the stars they would be using for navigation:
Vega Star (G-AGFL/FP221 - tail code 1)
Altair Star (G-AGFM/FP244 - tail code 2)
Rigel Star (G-AGID/JX575 - tail code 3)
Antares Star (G-AGIE/JX577 - tail code 4)
Spica Star (G-AGKS/JX287 - tail code 5)
Taking between 27 and 33 hours, with departure timed so that the flight crossed Japanese occupied territory during darkness, the crews would observe the sunrise twice, which led to the service being known as "The Double Sunrise". The flight route flown was along the coast from Perth to Exmouth then setting out towards Cocos (Keeling) Island or Christmas Island (though neither was actually sighted during the flight) and onto Kogalla, a journey of approximately 3,580 nautical miles (6,630 km). After the success of the initial flights, it was decided to run a weekly service, with some services flying over Rottnest Island and then taking a direct line to Kogalla. As part of the Australia-England air route there was a surface component from Kogalla to Karachi that added considerable time to the service. This was later replaced by the Double Sunrise service, with Karachi to England flown by BOAC. Air crews would change in Kogalla taking the next plane in either direction minimising the time taken to complete the journey.
Though stripped of all non-essential equipment, including de-icing equipment and insulation, the average takeoff weight was 15,900 to 16,000 kg; this included 9,040 liters of fuel, which gave the Catalina a range of 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 km). The service made 271 crossings, delivered over 4,500 kg of mail and carried 860 passengers, including among them British MP Edith Summerskill and the journalist Keith Murdoch. 'The Secret Order of The Double Sunrise' was an illustrated certificate given to passengers aboard the flying boats of the Australia-England air link, to attest they had been airborne for more than 24 hours.
After the war the five modified Catalinas that had flown The Double Sunrise service were scuttled.

| 737NG Normal Procedures |

File Description:
Sorry folks but yet another update since I found some additional small issues I wanted to correct. I hope with this version I caught them all so this will be the FINAL version...at least for today ;-) If you have problem fitting the list on 2 A4 pages when printing it from WordPad make sure you have unchecked the option in WordPad to print page numbers.
A flow/checklist for flying PMDG's 737NGX with FS2Crew Voice Edition. Did this mainly for my own use meaning the flow/checklist is adjusted for how I do my flying and with the addons I use like Aerosoft AES for example. Please also be aware this is not the kind of flow/checklist that includes all things you need to perform during a normal flight but instead you are expected to already have a general knowledge of both the NGX and FS2Crew. However I thought others might be helped by this too both newbies to get you going with the "flow" using FS2Crew but also for the more experienced users as a simple to print out and use memory note. It's also easy for you to change whatever you like to suit your own needs better since I created it in common rtf format using the standard Wordpad Windows application. I deliberately made it as compressed as possible leaving out stuff like all the answers to the checklists etc so it would fit on a single A4 sheet being easy to print and maybe also laminate if you like. Hope you'll enjoy it!
