LFQX Laon-Couvron AB 1955-62

Images related to this file:

File Description: From 1950 to 1967 the USAF set up and maintained bases in France, with the agreement of the French government, as part of its commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Laon AB was one of the ten main air bases which supported both attack and air defence capabilities. Many people do not appreciate the sheer extent of the USAF bases in France at this time and the reasons leading to the USAF departure in 1967. There is a link to a fine article on all this included. This is the second in a series of USAFE bases in France, the first being LFJA Chaumont AB. This scenery and traffic represent Laon Air Base during the years 1955 to 1962. Custom Tower and Hangars by Dan French with Custom aircraft paints by Ken Lawson and DeltaDart. Traffic files and the aircraft and paints needed are provided for 1955 (including the Black Knights B-57 Demonstration Team), 1957, 1959 and 1962.

Kindley Field Bermuda 1955-1962

File Description:
Kindley Field, on the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, was built as a joint RAF/USAAF facility during the Second World War. Subsequently the RAF area became the civilian terminal while Kindley Air Force Base was operated by the USAF between 1948 and 1970. It was primarily a staging post between the US and Western Europe for land-based planes unable to cross the Atlantic non-stop, very like Ernest Harmon in Newfoundland and the civilian Gander, and like Harmon it closed when the jet age made such bases redundant. Prior to that it hosted no combat units, but the 59th and then 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadrons, the 'Hurricane Hunters', were based there, and also from 1 February 1956 to 15 June 1963 the 303rd ARS Stratotankers were present to support Strategic Air Command and other refueling requirements. After 1970 it became a US Navy facility primarily concerned with tracking Soviet submarines, and was closed at the end of the Cold War. This scenery represents Kindley between 1955 and 1962 and has custom made scenery by Dan French and ai military traffic by Al Von Pingel to add to the downloadable California Classic civilian and MATS traffic available at Tom Gibson's site. Like Harmon and Gander, it was one of the most important airfields of its time.

HLLM Wheelus Air Base 1955-1962

File Description:
Wheelus AB was a USAF base located in Tripoli Libya until it was closed in 1970. Wheelus served many purposes: as a MATS station; as a Reflex base hosting various bombers for short rotations at different times; and as a gunnery and bombing training facility supporting many United States Air Forces in Europe squadrons which flew in for month long training sessions to practice live gunnery and bomb training exercises at the nearby El-Uotia Gunnery Range. This is also included in the scenery. Separate traffic is provided for 1955, 1957, 1959 and 1962, each schedule reflecting a mix of visiting squadrons and aircraft types. It can get to be a pretty colorful place if you install all those provided for.

RAF Burtonwood 1955-1957

File Description:
Burtonwood was for many years the most important air base in the United Kingdom, at least in terms of its size and the amount of traffic which passed through it. Built for the RAF but taken over by the USAAF during the war, it played a major role in that war and then in the US commitment to the protection of Europe during the Cold War. The main east-west runway was extended to 9,000 feet while the others fell out of use, and a new control tower and terminal building opened in 1955. Then disaster struck, when the site began to suffer from mining subsidence. MATS left for Mildenhall in 1958 and by the following year the USAF had gone completely, although Burtonwood continued in use by the US Army until the early 1990s

File Description: Lockheed L-1329 JetStar for AI Traffic (DWAI Models). This is the P3Dv4.5/5.2 conversion of Dee Waldron's L-1329 for AI traffic, with permission kindly given by Dee Waldron. This package contains base model, common textures, and two ZAS Airlines repaints. I pretty much did straight conversions without too many upgrades, but the usual PBR materials and hard-coded lights are utilized. This aircraft, with special instructions included, is compatible with all prior paints available in the usual places. Original aircraft by Dee Waldron et. al, MCX and RADiator utilites by Arno Gerretsen, P3Dv4/5 conversion by Michael Pearson.

Scottish Aviation Pioneer Malaysian Air Force

File Description:
Real livery for this aircraft. STOL Scottish Aviation "Pioneer" is a wonderful plane to finally visit that Aunt with the big garden! It can take off and land within 300 feet. Mike Stone designed the model and Yahia al Wajid provided the huge slats and flaps with the necessary updraught to get things going before you hit the trees... A great bush-plane for difficult terrains. Excellent to exercise your flying skills and engine handling. The "Read Me" file explains how it works and how to STOL around with it. Textures only, requires original aircraft by Mike Stone http://www.pmstone.com/

Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER 'Heliconia'

File Description:
Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER, in their new stunning 'Heliconia' livery, for AI Traffic; utilizing FS Painter's new 777v3 series model; and using a 'photo-real' overlay from Hazani Razalli's excellent Meljet repaint of the same aircraft. I also modified the lightmap slightly, to account for the window offset from the overlay (only about three pixels offset, no worry). This is virtually a full-feature aircraft for AI traffic, and flies very nice as well. Requires the new v3 model base file, available here on AVSIM. Model and base textures by FSPainter, et al, utilized Meljet repaint by Hazani Razalli.
