File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51K #44-64077 5E-V "Estellita" of Lt. Curtis L. Smart, of the 385th FS/364th FG, based in Honington, UK. As the story goes, just prior to being assigned to England to fly fighter aircraft, Lt. Smart’s wife gave birth to the first of three daughters. Estrellita was the title of a Mexican song that was popular in those days, which translated to “Little Starâ€, and this was given to the child as her name. Smart’s first P-51 was named Estrellita but the aircraft was lost, so too was the second and ultimately he received the third aircraft to bear the name, now Estrellita III. The nose art was never completed as intended. If you notice the odd extension to the bottom of the “Eâ€, this was supposed to be a shooting star with a classic early US star with red center forming the shooting star portion.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-15-RE 42-76127 B4-U "Turnip Termite". It was the assigned aircraft of Captain Arlo Henry, of Dearborn, Michigan, of the 387th FS/ 365th FG. He had touched the ground with his prop on one of his earlier missions and the ground recovered from his engine on that occasion gave rise to the name 'Turnip Termite' for his aircraft. On 7 June 1944, Lt Joseph Miller was flying Henry's B4-U over Normandy when he thought he was low on fuel and could not reach the base in England anymore. He bellied in near Omaha Beach in a minefield, and he had to walk out through the fresh furrow created by his aircraft. 'Turnip Termite' was recovered, but was consigned to be salvaged. The cowling panels with the name were used on later versions of Capt. Henry's 'Turnip termite'. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

| Dassault Mirage IIICZ (South African Air Force) + Mirage IIIC (AdlA) update |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Dassault Mirage IIICZ (South African Air Force). I present a comprehensive AI traffic model package for Marcel Dassault's signature design of military jet history. Going into production in 1959, this aircraft, in late form, is still in service with several air forces to this day. An original 7-LOD model pays homage to this wonderful aircraft in the flightsim world. This release is the tip of the iceberg, as I have much more planned for the Mirage III in the not-too-distant future. Additionally, this aircraft design is a benchmark for me, as I begin to write my own flight dynamics, not without a lot of help in learning. This package represents the Mirage IIICZ in the service of the South African Air Force; with 12 models and 32 repaints. Original aircraft model, flight dynamics, some effects, and textures by Michael Pearson; tremendous amounts of help from Michael MacIntyre and Frank Safranek.
This file also includes a small air file update for my Mirage IIIC AdlA package.

| FU3 JoyKey.CFG for MS Sidewinder Precision Pro Joystick v3 |
|
File Description:
This file is for Flight Unlimited III using MS Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick only. I believe you can adapt it to any joystick, but I have no way of testing this.
JoyKeys_v3 corrects the trim function so that you DON'T have to "tap" the trim buttons to trim the aircraft. Just press and hold as it should be. Thanks Allan Dawson for the tip.
JoyKeys_v2 added the air brakes function to the reverser fuction already active on button 7. The reverser only works while the aircraft is on the ground. The air brakes work in the air and on the ground if the plane you have selected is equipped. These fuctions ONLY work with JETS. This file will assign the most common flight control functions to your joystick buttons for MS Sidewinder Precision Pro Joystick. These are my preferences. You can change them around at your discretion. All the documentation is in the readme from the FU3 patch. You can try this file... if you don't like it, delete it. All will be as before.

| Isles of Scilly Skybus de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint of the excellent de Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter AI Model V.2 by Henry Tomkiewicz. Isles of Scilly Skybus is a British airline which operates seasonal and year round domestic scheduled services to the Isles of Scilly from various airports in south west England. The airline's main operating base is Land's End Airport (LEQ), whilst their head office is located in nearby Penzance, both in the county of Cornwall. The airline was established in March 1984 and started operations in August 1984. Isles of Scilly Skybus originated as an air charter operator at Land's End aerodrome which operated high frequency services to the Isles of Scilly. Following the withdrawal of Brymon Airways routes to and from the islands the operator stepped in, initially operating services to Plymouth. This route was later dropped but with the addition of Twin Otter aircraft the route network expanded to its current make-up. It is wholly owned by Isles of Scilly Steamship Company who also run the passenger ferry, Scillonian III, and freight services from Penzance to the Islands.

| QANTAS Empire Airways Avro Lancastrian C.1 for FS2004 |
|
File Description:
These textures represent VH-EAT, an Avro Lancastrian C.1 that was in service with QANTAS Empire Airways between 1945 and 1947. The textures are for use with Paul Edwards and Manfred Jahn's Lancastrian Mkii which can be found on AVSIM under http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=103414. Installation instructions are included in the README file.
Immediately following the cessation of hostilities in 1945 the world's airlines were faced with a dire shortage of equipment with which to resume intercontinental services. As an interim step, converted bombers were used. One such was the Avro Lancastrian. This variation of the Lancaster bomber was developed in Canada by Victory Aircraft of Toronto who stripped an Avro Lancaster Mk III of its guns and turrets, installed a pointed nose and faired out the tail. Further refinements were later carried out by the parent company, Avro, and the result was a 13 seat airliner. Qantas Empire Airways operated four of them on their London to Sydney route, an odyssey which took four days of hard travel.

| Dassault Mirage IIIE French Air Force #586 6x |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains six repaints for the Skysim Mirage III for FSX. It contains all the different codes worn by Mirage IIIE c/n 586 during its career with the French Air Force.
It started flying with EC02/004 'LaFayette' on 12/11/1969 as 4-BB (F-ULBB), originally with the serial 4-BB on the fuselage, in 1972 this was moved to the nose, along with some minor changes to the paint. Both versions are included as 4-BB early and late respectively. It had a major averhaul in late 1979 and came back to EC02/004 as 4-BN (F-ULBN), flying until 10/02/1980. It was then stored for two years and was reassigned to EC 01/004 (Dauphiné) as 4-AF (F-ULAF) until 01/09/1987, when it went back to EC 02/004 as 4-BR (F-ULBR). It was stored for a second time in august 1988, re-emerging in februari 1992 as 3-XF (F-UGXF) with EC 03/003 'Ardennes'. It was retired in may 1993.

File Description:
US Navy/US Marine Corps IAI F-21A Lion. I present a comprehensive AI traffic model package for the Israeli Aircraft Industries Kfir (Lion Cub). Going into operational production in 1975 as a new-build Israeli re-design of the venerable Mirage III/5 series, this aircraft, in late form, is still in service with several air forces to this day. An original 7-LOD model pays homage to this wonderful aircraft in the flightsim world. This aircraft, just like the real-deal, is a fair re-work of my original Mirage 5 model; with new wings, gear, fuselage, tail, and other goodies. This package includes the USN/USMC-operated F-21A Lion, used as an aggressor aircraft in the mid-80s; with 5 models and 25 repaints. A note, these are slightly modified models and will not be compatible with any previous Kfir paints from this project, but any previous Kfir C1 models will work with these repaints (sounds odd, but these models are slightly improved). Original aircraft model, flight dynamics, some effects, and textures by Michael Pearson; tremendous amounts of help from Michael MacIntyre and Frank Safranek.

| Aerosoft F-16 Aerodynamic Performance Upgrade - VIPER 3.0 Package |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an aerodynamic performance upgrade for the payware Aerosoft F-16 (the download version, NOT the version available through Steam...you can't "upgrade" that one!). Simply put, this upgrade will make ALL 21 of your Aerosoft F-16 models AWESOME fun to fly in FSX! I went through and individually "tuned up" ALL of the aircraft models that come with the Aerosoft purchase/download (excluding the 2 AI jets), so now ALL "CAT-I" models can pull & maintain 9g, all "CAT-III" models can pull & maintain 7g. Each jet can perform quick, precise aerobatic maneuvers and still be smooth and easy to fly while mid-air refueling or just cruising at altitude.
A few more "upgraded" performance capabilities include...
Maintain 7g in "CAT-3" model jets, 9g in "CAT-1" model jets (tested at 500kts and 10,000')
Realistic Roll Rate
Max Speed w AB @ 40,000' (Clean) - Mach 1.8+
Max Speed Mil Power @ Sea Level (Clean) - Mach 0.95
Cruise Speed - Mach 0.80
...and MUCH MORE!
I've streamlined the installation/upgrade process so it will only take a few minutes of easy cut/paste/replace work to get your F-16's upgraded and ready to fly!
