File Description:
The repaint features Global Airways' N79000, an early production Douglas C-54 (c/n 3058) built at the Douglas factory at Santa Monica, CA, and delivered to the USAAF on February 8, 1943 as 41-37272. In 1946 the Civil Aviation Administration took her over as NC79000. Having been converted to DC-4 standard, she was bought on April 11, 1951 by Eastern Air Lines as N79000 '721'. In May 1955 she was sold and served many users such as Northwest, Transocean and World. In 1960 California Airmotive became the owner of the C-54. During September and October 1960 the C-54 was leased by Global Airways, a company based in Philadelphia, PA, from 1946 to around 1960. (founded by Simon Bolnick and Joseph Raphael; passenger charter operations included fishing and hunting charters to Canada.) In May 1961 the C-54 was sold as D-ADAM to Continentale in Germany. Already in December 1962 Continentale went bankrupt and the aircraft was stored in the open at Hamburg. In July 1963 Aviation Traders (Engineering) Ltd purchased the C-54 for conversion to Carvair car-ferry aircraft. As it turned out, the condition of the C-54 was extremely poor (corrosion on many places on the wing spars) so makeshift repairs were done before the aircraft was ferried to Stansted for its rebuild to Carvair G-ASKN.
Textures only. You will need Jens B. Kristensen's FSX Douglas DC-4 & C-54 (DC4_V30X.ZIP). Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.

| China Clipper Martin M-130 for X-Plane 6.40/6.51 |
|
File Description:
China Clipper or Martin M130 for X-Plane 6.40/6.51 - Built by the Martin Company for Pan American Airlines, they were known by the company as Martin Ocean Transports. Only three of these aircraft were built, the China Clipper, the Philippine Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper. To the public, China Clipper became a generic name and originally was applied to all three of the Martin M-130's in Pan Am's fleet and, later, even to the Boeing B-314's which came later. With 4-950 HP radial engines giving a cruising speed of 163 mph and with a range in excess of 3200 miles the "Clippers" were used in the pacific by Pan Am. The "China Clipper" on November 22, 1935 inaugurated the first trans-pacific postal service with 111,000 letters; it returned to San Francisco on December 6, 1935. In 1936 the Hawaii Clipper and Philippine Clipper inaugurated paying passenger service to the Philippines and Hong Kong respectively. These were the original "Clippers" for those including the Boeing B134 to follow. Look for the B134 soon for X-Plane. Just a note : since landing gear skids are used for the wing braces X-Plane thinks that the plane has landing gear and will actually place it on the ground at the airport you select, choose an airport near water and then request a seaplane takeoff or pick a location and altitude on the regional or planet map.

| Missions for the USAF F-51D of Flight1 'Sabre Vs MiG' (CFS2) |
|
File Description:
Five missions for the USAF F-51D of the "Sabre Vs MiG"add-on of Fligh1.Included Scenery of the main Mustangs base in the Korean war: K-10 Chinhae and a revision of the DP file for the Yak-9.
The missions were acomplished in the first days of November 1950 and are quite veridical; geographical,coordinates, units, dates, airfield bases,meteo,squadrons, pilots,etc.
No real is the standard Yak-9 supplied by Fligh1. The aircraft paint represent a V-VS(Russian Air Force)
fighter with the typical Russian camouflage; actually no Yak-9 were operated with Russian insignias in
Korea. The planes, models Yak-9P and Yak-9U, were assigned to the KPAFAC(North Korean Air Force) and
flew by crews of this nacionality, his painting scheme was a Russian post-war light blue grey with the
KPAFAC roundels under of the wings and in fuselage sides.The pilots were rookies but some success was achieved: one USAF F-80C of the 36 FBS,was shot down the 19-Jul-1950 by one Yak-9(Actually the first Korean war victory of a one piston fighter over a Jet);B-29s,F-51s,F-82s, were others victories of the Yaks in the early phase of the Korean war.V-VS had operated with a few LA-11.I have planned a repaint of the Yak-9 with the real colours of the KPAFAC and eventually convert to flight.

File Description:
Textures for Jens B. Kristensens Bristol Britannia 300 model (BRT_V10.ZIP). These textures decipt Britannia 307 c/n 12921, built at Belfast as Britannia 305 destined for the U.S. Northeast Airlines. But not taken up she was delivered 1958 as Britannia 307 G-ANCE to Air Charter Ltd. London, the first airline founded by the famous aviation intrepreneur Freddy Laker. The aircraft made severall trooping flights between London-Stansted and Christmas Island in the Pacific via Goose Bay, Vancouver and Honolulu. Carrying up to 124 passengers, troops and service personal, in a journey time of 29 hours to the Island, which was used for the British nuclear test programme. The Britannia made many further trooping flights to the, at that time, numerous British overseas bases in the Gulf, Australia, Singapore, Ceylon, Canada and Hong Kong, carrying servicemen and their families. One of these flights reached around the world for 26 100 miles in 72 hours from London via Bahrain, Colombo and Singapore to Adelaide and Sydney, then to Christmas Island and back eastbound via San Francisco and Montreal to London.
G-ANCE went together whis sistership G-ANCD to British United Airways BUA in merger and was sold 1965, converted to freighter 307F, to Lloyd International, then 1972 to Monarch and 1974 to Aer Turas. Withdrawn from use in 1979 she was stored at Manston and later at Dublin, 1981 finaly broken up at Dublin.

| Gjoa Haven CYHK, on King William Island, Nunavut, Canada, |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Gjoa Haven is a village of 1,200 or so inhabitants at N 68 38 W 95 51 on the southeast corner of King William Island, around 155 miles north of the Arctic Circle. It's Inuit name is Uqsuqtuuq; the Gjoa Haven name was given by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen when he spent two years there from 1903 to 1905 during his exploration of the northwest passage from east to west. His boat was called Gjoa and the cove was named Gjoa Harbour, in Norwegian. The village has been added in this scenery with approximately the right shape; though the coastline with Ultimate Terrain does have the small cove that serves as a harbor the coast shape is wrong. The airfield runway is 4,400 feet of gravel 100 feet wide at 154 feet above sea level. There is no LL100 available, only JetA1, delivered once a year by ship along with all the other requirements of the town. There is also a nearby CAM-B remotely operated defence radar station with its three protective domes. The old terminal building is still there, albeit repainted and spruced up, along with the far larger and newer one alongside it.
One of the screen shots shows Gjoa Haven as it appears for at least 8 months of the year, with snow on the ground and sea ice all around. If you want the ice then download my recent post of All Canada frozen lakes, rivers, and the northern seas, reversible with an untick in the FS scenery library.

| Dixie A05 Forest Service airfield in Idaho USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in the mountains of Idaho, the first in a series. There are not many mountain airfields that can be succesfully modelled in FS9 because the FS9 terrain does not always match reality; no creek for instance, or the valley too small. There are others where the grass strip is all there is, so there is nothing to model apart from resizing the cleared area. Some are well known, well maintained, have clean shower facilities, and are well used for a weekend by small planes with two people and a tent on board, for instance Johnson Creek. Others are less well known but still in good condition, such as Dixie or Big Creek. And there are also some with cabin rental facilities, such as Sulphur Creek Ranch. Other names come to mind, such as Flying B and Pistol Creek, but unfortunately for one reason or another these could not be made. The other difficulty involving hills is succesful AI landings and take offs. At Johnson Creek, for instance, the wind should be from the south to make AI landings more likely to succeed. Dixie is south of the village of the same name, and not to be confused with the dirt strip that is just beside the village. The runway is at 5,148 feet ASL, just over 4,000 feet long and aligned 18-36, and the parking area is at the northern end, opposite the Forest Service buildings. There is a chart of the area included, and to the south of Dixie is the next in the series, Big Creek U60.

| Focke Wulf FW-200C series |
|
File Description:
The Focke Wulf FW 200 C series was a long-distance sea reconnaissance aircraft of the German Luftwaffe in World War II. world war. It was developed from the civilian version FW 200 A and B and then by the Luftwaffe used in different versions.
The civilian version has been developed by Hauke ​​Keitel in a very well implemented add-on. he has uploaded this AddOn on FlightSim.com under the name P3D v4 Focke Wulf Fw200A2 as a file fw200a2-1.zip released.
After consultation, Mr. Keitel gave permission to add this add-on and to release the extension under the same terms as its original specifications. I now have done the extension of the Luftwaffe versions as the series using the original FW 200 C0 to FW-200 C8, made as good and close to the original as I can. The models were developed and tested exclusively for P3D 4.5. Possible that you also can use in FSX and other P3D versions. However, I can neither check nor guarantee this. Please note the conditions specified in the original readme file by Mr. Hauke ​​Keitel. They of course are also fully valid for my extensions, since this extension is based on the original and this is absolutely necessary.
The package also includes a version for AI planes.
Please copy and add this to your AI aircraft directory . Airfields appearing in near future will use them for AI traffic.
The supplied extension contains only the files necessary for the supplement and alone it is not executable.
I hope you will enjoy these models.

| US Navy Collection, with Flyable UAV |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Unfortunately the Navy has cancelled or scaled down most fleet week celebrations around the nation. With this collection, you can stage your own!
Among the latest and hottest additions to the US Navy arsenal is the LCS. Two versions have been developed, the trimaran corvette by General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin's version, which promise to give a double black eye to Al Qaida, Somali pirates, or anyone else that opposes Freedom and Independence. Also are included in this package are the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer USS Fitzgerald, the Ticonderoga class cruiser Lake Champlain and two Oliver-Perry class frigates, FFG-58 Samuel B Roberts and FFG-60 Rodney M Davis. The centerpiece of the fleet is LHD-2 USS Essex and thanks to Arno's fantastic ModelConverterX, Essex is able to feature a highly detailed deck packed with 7 F-35b JSF, 6 MV-22 Osprey, 5 CH-53 and 2 Seahawks. Finally, SSN775 Texas, as part of the collection is available for patrol. All ships have landable decks, night lights and animation effects. Texas as a submarine is more of a boat, I believe, but it has navigation lights and wake effects.
I have also included another hot Navy addition, the RQ-8 fire Scout. There are two versions, a static RQ-8b lashed to the deck of Independence and an RQ-8c with the Flir Brite Star electro/optical turret which I have made flyable, largely for absence of deck space to place it as static.
Make no mistake that the Essex model is very resource intensive, with all it's polygons and what have you. The night lighting is stunning (imo) but seems to have an even heavier effect, you've been warned..

| Consolidated PBY-5 RNZAF 6 Sqn XX-W |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
A repaint for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of NZ4020 XX-W of the RNZAF. Bu08435, it flew with 6 Flying Boat Squadron. Following Japan's entry into the war in December 1941, the RNZAF had to switch from primarily training pilots to Europe into a combat force. No. 6 Squadron RNZAF was formed as an army co-operation unit at Milson in February 1942 flying Vickers Vildebeest and Hawker Hind aircraft. At the same time, No. 5 Squadron RNZAF moved to Fiji with Short Singapores and Vickers Vildebeest and Vincent biplanes. Modern maritime patrol flying boats (and more Hudson light bombers) were requested under Lend Lease and when the first Consolidated Catalinas arrived a detachment of men from No. 5 Squadron was assigned to convert to these types as No. 6 Squadron. Before the squadron was officially formed these men successfully completed their first air-sea rescue of a downed US aircrew. From May 1943 No. 6 squadron undertook action against the Japanese. The Squadron also conducted search and rescue missions for allied aircrew and seamen, and undertook many open sea rescues. XX-W arrived in Fiji on 21 October 1943. On February 18, 1944 it took off on a dumbo rescue mission to north Buka Island and landed to rescue two crew members and pick up a dead body from the crash of B-25, and successfully returned them to Halavo. On 26 May 1945, it stalled on landing at Hobsonville and was towed to its mooring by a crash boat. The induced damage resulted in the aircraft being written off charge on 18 June 1945.
