| Carrier Division Two off Cape Cod |
|
File Description:
This scenery places the two Yorktown-class aircraft carriers of the pre-WW2 U.S. Navy with a screen of four cruisers at sea 100 miles due east of Provincetown, Massachusetts, on the tip of Cape Cod. The ships are the Virtual Navy's Task Force 16 relocated and with the Hornet posing as the Yorktown. This package contains the carriers, cruisers, ship wakes, AFCAD files for all six ships and Arrestor Cables catch zones for the carriers. It provides start points on both carriers, on the catapults of all four cruisers, and in the water between the carriers for seaplanes. Also included are flight starts for Paul Clawson's Curtiss SOC Seagull on the catapults of the cruisers and for the plane of your choice on the carriers, and authentic repaints of the SOC for aircraft assigned to the cruisers plus one for the personal aircraft of the Admiral commanding CarDiv2. There is also a selection of Golden Wings splash screens featuring the ships and planes of CarDiv2. Carrier Division 2 is being released in celebration of Golden Wings 3, but works just as well in a standard FS9 installation. Catapult floatplane operations require the Carrier Operations Gauge Package and Paul Clawson's Curtiss SOC Seagull or another catapult floatplane. Ships and wake effects by The Virtual Navy, modified AFCAD files, SOC repaints, flights and ship placement by Mick Morrissey. A big Thank you to the Virtual Navy for allowing this use of their ships!

| Honolulu International Airport, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii (PHNL) with Active Crosswind Runways V2 |
|
File Description:
A high quality AFCAD2 for Honolulu Int'l Airport (PHNL). Only for use with the freeware scenery by Bill Melichar (honov5.zip). The file is built from scratch using the latest FAA charts, various photographs and information from the airport website, in order to be as near real as possible. All taxiways are named as per real life and runway lengths are 100% accurate. All Airline gates are named as per real life and have the correct airlines assigned to them. Using the crosswind runway technique, all runways are now active for use at the same time. The Air Freight Terminal, to the west of the airport is also featured, with parking assignments for the cargo carriers that use it. Hickham AFB parking is included, consisting of a Military Combat area, Military Cargo area and airline gates for troop charter flights. Maintenance parking for Air Pacific, Aloha Airlines and Hawaiian airlines jets can be found on the south ramp area. An extensive GA area can also be found on the south ramp, and can accomodate any privately owned aircraft ranging from Cessna to Boeing 747. It is recommended (but not necessary) that you also download the freeware "Hickam AFB" scenery by Derek and Brendan Webb (dbwsimhickam04.zip) as it greatly enhances the appearance of the Air Force Base. This file has been extensively tested and all AI flows as it should. New in this release are updated gate assignments for new airlines that recently started to serve Honlulu, plus updated parking for new cargo carriers. Previous version of this file had over 2000 downloads. Enjoy!!

File Description:
Textures for Lockheed R7V-1/C-121J by Team 1049 - Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Manfred Jahn, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne and Stefan Werner. Repainted by Manfred Meyer.
A working installation of the G and H Super Constellation packs (L1049H.ZIP, L1049GZIP and r7v-1.ZIP)is required, use the 1049vc_rf model for this textures!
This aircraft was built 1953 as a R7V-1 BuNo 131643 for US Navy (c/n 4144) and 1960 redesignated as C-121J. Serving whis the Point Mugu Missile Range it was known as the "Ole Blue from Point Mugu". 1974 withdrawn from use and stored at Davis Monthan, she was sold in May 1981 to William "Winky" Crawfords Northern Peninsula Fisheries Corp. and reg. N4247K for hauling salmon in Alaska. After modification work to civil freighter in 1987 the Connie went to World Fish & Agriculture Inc. Cold Bay Alaska, another Crawford Company. Now it was the plan to hauling thunafish from Palau Island to Nagoya in Japan. It was intend to carry 38 000 lbs of fish per trip but only 33 000 lbs were practial. But the contract could not be fullfiled because no high grade AVGAS was available at Nagoya. The aircraft has to carry return fuel in drums, which reduced the payload further to only 15 000 lbs.
Only a few roundtrips were flown in 1988 and then the Connie was impounted and stored at Manila apt. due to lawsuit actions with the contractors. She remains abandonded in open storage at Manila until 2014 as the Quantas Museum from Australia bought her in auction for spares.

| B-24 USAAF 376th BG "Lady be Good" |
|
File Description:
Following an April 4, 1943 bombing raid on Naples, Italy, conducted by the 376th Bomb Group, the Lady Be Good of the 514th Bomb Squadron failed to return to base. After attempts to locate the plane, its nine crewmen were classified as MIA, and presumed dead, believed to have perished after crashing in the Mediterranean.
Almost 16 years later on Nov. 9, 1958, several British geologists were flying over the desolate, sun-baked Libyan Desert. At approximately 400 miles south of Soluch, they spotted an aircraft on the sand. A ground party that reached the site in March 1959 discovered the plane to be a B-24D. The "Lady Be Good" had been found.
Evidence at the site indicated that the crew had become lost in the dark on return from Naples and had flown over their base and southward into the desert. As their fuel supply became depleted, the nine men aboard had bailed out but had disappeared while attempting to walk northward to civilization.
Intensive searches were made for clues as to the fate of the crew, and in 1960 the remains of eight were found, one near the plane and the other seven far to the north. Five had trekked 78 miles across the tortuous sand before perishing and one had gone an amazing 109 miles. In addition, they had lived eight days rather than only two expected of men in this area with little or no water. The body of the ninth man was never found.

File Description:
Version 3 includes all previous patches and updates. This version also restructures the file system to be fully compatible with the ORBX "FTX Global openLC North America" product as well as adding functionality for default FSX users. Additionally, water class scenery is updated to appear more realistic, MHRO is updated to reflect the newly expanded apron, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh is included. All landclass polygons and coastlines were meticulously hand-drawn directly from satellite imagery to provide the most detailed and accurate scenery available for this region.
This project rebuilds the islands of Roatán, Barbareta, Guanaja, and Utila, and adds Cayos Cochinos and the numerous cays associated with the "Islas de la Bahia" (Islands of the Bay). Roatán (MHRO), Guanaja (GJAJ/MHNJ) and Puerto Lempira (MHPL) are completely overhauled and positioning is corrected. New and fully functioning AI airports are added for Utila (MHUT), Fort Cay (MHFC) and Cochino Pequeño (MHCP) of the Cayos Cochinos chain, and La Ceiba (MHLC) is modified to accommodate more AI traffic. Accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. GA flight plans are provided to add or enhance service to the smaller islands. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery, when available. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.

File Description:
OSM World is a community project! If you wish to help, check the documentation and contact the author!
Welcome to OSM Wold: South America! This is a vector data scenery package covering the South American area. Coastlines, Rivers, lakes, roads, railways, and power lines with detail never before seen! All in an autogen-compatible density! You can see roundabouts, train terminals, harbor areas in a resolution of a point every 10 meters. At this same resolution a vectorial city class places residential (in small and big building variations, depending on surface area) and industrial areas exactly where they are supposed to be. This gives the city areas a resolution far superior to the capacity of FS-2004 default landclass bitmaps, limited to approximately 1 Km x 1 Km squares. OSM World: South America will even give you small roads leading to small towns (even a few houses across)! From big highway intersections, including ramps, to the tiniest rural pathways covering the entire South american area! Wherever in South America you fly, there is something to see!
You can enjoy this scenery near coastlines too! harbor areas and extremely detailed coastal topology (try the southern Chile). This scenery makes sure that the ocean is always flat, you can forget about the climbing water often found around photo-sceneries! This scenery is best paired with a good set of terrain meshes (like the freeware global SRTM mesh by Stephen Rothlisberger , available here: http://simviation.com/1/fs2004terrainmesh).

| Zion National Park North, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Cedar City (KCDC), Utah, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |

File Description:
Cedar Breaks National Monument is a large amphitheater cliff in bright colors of red, orange and purple.
It lies east of Cedar City in the northern region of the scenery. The cliff was formed by erosion thru wind,
water and ice. Today erosion continues with a pace of about 2 inches every 5 years. Although it is called
Cedar Breaks, there are no cedars growing there but juniper trees. For a scenic flight to Cedar Breaks
National Monument best depart from Cedar City Regional Airport (KCDC) and head east. The scenery extends
south to Zion National Park and covers a large part of Zion Canyon and the Kolob Canyons area.
Zion National Park is another place where erosion of the Colorado Plateau formed the most beautiful colorful
stone formations of unique and wonderful shapes. There are nine different layers of stone visible in the park.
Most of them consist of sandstone. But there is also limestone, gypsum, siltstone, shale, clay and mudstone.
The Virgin River cut a spectacular and famous canyon thru Zion Park that is as narrow as 20ft and up to 2000ft tall.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads)
are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_South2West5.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions,
so expect this version to be slightly more blurry.
Thanks to Joop Mak for providing a custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures!
They are available here: www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Richard, P.J. and Felix.

| Black Cat Catalina PBY5/5Av1.1 for x-plane |
|
File Description:
This update includes improvements to the fuselage shape, addition of retractable wing floats using wheel farings, an improved but not custom panel, improved prop efficiency and more. The PBY Catalina is probably the best known flying boat with over 4000 produced by Consolidated aircraft and licensees. The Black Cat squadrons all done in flat black played havoc particularly for the Japanese in the Pacific. Fitted with radar, with a 15 hour endurance and 2800 mile range they hunted Japanese naval ships by night and bombed or torpedoed them by the hundreds up. There are 6 engine nacelles used in the model, 2 represent the 1200 HP radial engines driving the props, the others are jets with 5 lbs of thrust, 1 is used for the rear fuselage section, 1 is used for the wing pylon, 1 is used for the flare from the fuselage to the vertical stabilizer and the last is used for the forward observation and gunner space. Two are not used. Wing sections are taken up by the main wing and the support spars so there you go. The fuel tanks are used for the side gunner pods since these can be decorated separately. The plane flies very well and is stable as a rock. Takeoffs from water are quite easy as long as you don't dip a wing tip (no floats remember). The Black Cat squadron logo used in the paint scheme is courtesy of http://www.daveswarbirds.com/blackcat/logos.htm and is from the VP-71 Black Cat squadron.

| PABA - Barter Island (Kaktovik) - Alaska North Slope 8 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Barter Island is a DEW station Air Force base 310 miles east of Barrow and 75 miles east of Bullen Point. The runway is just under 5,000 feet of gravel and aligned 06-24 on a spit of land at the northeast corner of the island. The big hangar is still there on the apron. Most of the DEW buildings have now been removed but this scenery is dated around 2005 when there were more of them still there. Between the DEW station and the airstrip is the village of Kaktovik, with a population of some 300 mainly traditional Inupiat. The village was first pioneered when the DEW station was built in the 1950's and grew as the years passed. The FS9 error discovered when making this scenery was that FS9 had mistakenly "placed" Kaktovik at Bullen Point (not physically, it was just wrongly stated as the local town); this is now only partly corrected as FS9 refused to accept my Bullen Point revision but allowed me to associate Kaktovik with Barter Island. Kaktovik is definitely on Barter Island. I could also mention that the runway was in the sea, but there isn't much point in that as Bill would say it was all the fault of Ultimate Terrain, so I won't bother. The next DEW station to the east is in Canada and called Komakuk; this has already been made and posted. The next in this series will be far to the west. The AI has daily flights by ERA, plus Northern Air Cargo, and some GA.
