| Southeast Farallon Islands Version 3 |
|
File Description:
Complete download: Surf height fix. Also new island texture map. These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. This island is actually a scenery object. As such it doesn't have a landable surface. Future versions will have a helicopter pad, a lighthouse, and the 100 year old houses used by researchers.

| FSX Dynamic Benchmark Package |
|
File Description:
This package provide a means of measuring the performance of FSX in a repeatable and consistent manner. The benchmark is a 5 minute long autopiloted CRJ700 flight that starts just after the aircraft has taken off from KPAE, climbed to 1500ft, and reached 250kts towards the Seattle city center, overflies KSEA then heads directly for Mount Rainier. The idea is to get a good mix of rural / suburban / cityscape, clouds, water, and AI aircraft / boats / cars. Use include assessing the impact of FSX setting changes, the impact of different hardware drivers, hardware setting changes and hardware upgrades on FSX performance. It can also be used to comparing the performance of your system to other similarly configured systems to ensure the performance you are achieving is is representative of what can be expected and to compare the performance of your system to hardware component changes or a new system that you are considering upgrading to yourself.

| Pete & Sid's Viva Scenery Volume 4 |
|
File Description:
This is a collection of scenery enhancements for 81 airports, mostly smaller ones, located primarily in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Western Canada. (Yes, there's one in New Zealand.) It was not our intention to do anything fancy or particularly accurate, but simply to make the default scenery less boring and more fun. General aviation AI traffic (using default FS9 aircraft) is also included for some of these airports. The scenery for any individual airport may be removed without affecting the other airports. Some the airports we've done may also be included in Glacier Bay and other scenery add-ons; you'll need to remove one or the other to resolve any conflicts. This scenery was designed to work with Flight1's Ultimate Terrain and has not been tested with the default FS9 scenery. Most of the airports will probably work fine with the default scenery; those airports near water features (lakes, rivers, coastlines) are the ones most likely to have problems.

File Description:
Textures for the Lockheed L-049 Constellation by the team Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Manfred Jahn, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne and Stefan Werner. Repaint by Manfred Meyer.
The company Nevada Airmotive bought TWA's L-049 fleet in 1962 for lease and/or resell them. But only fife of the 25 Constellations found new operators .
One of these aircrafts was c/n 2025, built 1945 and used by Lockheed as factory demonstrator until delivered to TWA as NC86504 "Star of France" in 1946. Sold to Nevada Airmotive in 1962 and leased to Futura Airlines and some month later to Paradise Airlines Inc. Oakland, CA. Paradise used the plane together with two further Constellations for flights from Oakland, Salinas, San Jose and other points in California to Lake Tahoe, bringing peoples to Horrah's gambling club there. Sadly N86504 crashed 1. march 1964 nine miles northwest of Lake Tahoe into the mountains with the lost of all 85 on board. Paradise AL then was forced to close down by FAA for failing to conduct a safe operation.

File Description:
Aircraft repaint for Dave Garwood's de Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide Version 4 only. This is my first ever aircraft repaint. Compatibile with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D only.
Built in 1944 as NR693, G-AHKV (c/n 6792) served with British European Airways from 1946. By 1954 Sky Neon Aviation were flying the aircraft at night over London with underwing neon advertising signs. Registered to the Automobile Association in 1957, G-AHKV became the most famous of all their aircraft. Flown by former RAF Mosquito pilot Bill Lewis, she was used as a traffic spotter, monitoring congestion and incidents from the air. The prototype of the DH.89A Mk 6 conversion, G-AHKV had sophisticated electrical and navigation equipment on board. She was also an air ambulance, repatriating AA members who had suffered accidents or illness in Europe and dropping supplies to snowbound villages in Scotland. Sold by the AA in 1963, she was burnt at Birmingham Airport in 1969. Two variants of the livery are included.

| Douglas DC-3 Val-U-Prop CargoLiner Plane and Panel |
|
File Description:
Val-U-Prop is a rogue airline based in Bloomington, Indiana, that flies everything from VIPs to sheep manure anyplace and anytime. VP's motto is "No job too small; No fee too large," and our DC-3's, DC-4's, DC-6's and DC-8's can be seen hedge-hopping into various obscure airports throughout the world. This aircraft is an all-aluminum re-paint of the fabulous DC-3 OH-LCH by Jan Visser, Erik Ellis, Roy Chaffin, Ian Roper and Bill Rambow, to which FS2002 lights have been added. It has military capability, including machine guns and NUCLEAR/GPS/JDAM guided bomb launch. Panel includes everything on main panel, except for GPS and (optional) default radios, so there is no tabbing. The very aluminal wing views were shot by Thomas Klein, and the vintage C-47 cabin was photographed by Tom Turner. Gauges by James Underwood, Ernie Kennedy and Dai Griffiths. A-bomb and machine guns by Chris Trotter. All of this brought to you by Val-U-Prop - http://home.bluemarble.net/~jcumus/index.html - where WE VAL-U-YOU!

| DDG Grumman J2F-6 Duck Upgrade Patch |
|
File Description:
This is, what I hope to be, the final upgrade patch for the DDG Grumman J2F-6 Duck. Not only has the problem with the erratic behavior with FFB been corrected, but the flight dynamics have been improved as well, including a bit of easing up on those touchy brakes. There's new goodies in the form of NEW panels with NEW goodies by Bill Morad, my gauges guru; an entirely new texture dedicated to the late Mel Blanc, and even a new pin-up girl. So, even if you already have the Duck and no problems, there's many reasons why you should download this basket of patces and goodies. Better than going to grandma's house. Also included is the missing sound file that some of you have had problems with. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AIRCRAFT. You must have downloaded my earlier release of the Grumman J2F-6 Duck, filename ddg-j2f-6-v2.zip.zip to use this upgrade with. I think you'll like this encore to what has already proven to be a popular aircraft.
