| TAROM Boeing 737-38J (YR-BGC) 'Constanta' for Traffic 2004 |
|
File Description:
TAROM B.737-38J YR-BGC C/N 27181-2662"Constanta".
This is my new serie of TAROM for the Just Flight Traffic 2004.
YR-BGC"Constanta" is one of the four type B.737-38J operated by TAROM, the Fifth plane
(YR-BGD) is operated as Presidential plane and the Government of Romania.
TAROM((Transporturile Aeriene Romane) is the official airline of Romania and was
founded after the war in 1946 as Transporturi Aeriene Romana Sovietica (TARS)
with a fleet of Lisunov Li-2.The airline had operated soviet jet types longtime
(Ilyushin IL-62, IL-18, Tu-154´s)but after the restructuration in the early 90´s
is today composed with 6 ATR-42-300 and 9 B.737-300 and 700 series(models B.737-38J,B.737-78J and one B.737-36Q).
All 707´s and soviet types are now stored and out of service.The two A310(introduced in 1992)and tasked
to flight the New York services or Charter flights in the summer time are now in reserve and also out of service
or saled the fleet of ROMBAC 1-11(BAC 1-11 build under licence by Romaero.The main hub of TAROM is located at Otopeni Intl.airport(Bucarest).
TAROM served national destinations(Cluj,Constanta,Tirgu Mures,Timisoara,Satu Mare,Oradea,Iasi,etc)and International destinations(Wien,Frankfurt,Munchen,Brussels,Paris CDG,London HTR,Rome FCO,
Budapest,Athens,Thesaloniki,Sofia,Chisinau,Madrid,Larnaca,Tel Aviv,Amman,Beirut,Cairo,Istanbul,Amman)
I have included a serie of 64 TAROM flights, all served with the B.737-300´s and ATR42-500's.
Also included a new complete revised AirFile for the 737-300 type(23-04-04).

| Pacific Western AI Aardvark Boeing 737-200 |
|
File Description:
Pacific Western, repaint for the AI_Aardvark 737-200. By RotorRick Deckard. Freeware, textures only, requires AI_Aardvark 737-200 basepack.
Pacific Western was a Canadian airline based in the western provinces, back when I was growing up, and I saw their planes all the time. They merged into CP Air, which turned into Canadian Airlines when they also took Wardair. And Canadian Airlines exists no longer either, having been absorbed by Air Canada, many of their staff were let go, and less desirable planes sold off to discount airlines.
Pacific Western, in parnership with Boeing, pionered a modification to the 737-200 that enabled it to land on gravel runways! Yes, no joke, with several of the destination runways up near the arctic circle, these runways wouldn't survive the ground temperature changes if they were more common paved or concrete runways. Anyway, I don't know many details, but I do know it involved a large beaver board attached to the rear of the nosegear wheels (which looks very much like that on the Antarctic mission C-130's the US uses to support missions down under), and vortex generators to blow in front of the engines on landing. This is all done to keep the low slung engines from ingesting any FOD. Since that time, such strips are more commonly visited by the Boeing 727, which has it's engines better protected and is generally more suited to such special purposes.

This airline has operated the 707, Lockheed C-130 Hercules (actually L-100 variant), 767-200 and many other planes, but they were always primarily a 737-200 based airline.

| Zambia Airways DHC-2 Beaver c1966 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of a DHC-2 Beaver in Zambia Airways colors. The freeware DHC-2 Beaver (wheels) by John L. Woodward is needed for this repaint. It is an FS2004 plane, but I flew it in FSX-SE using the default Beaver panel. The plane can be downloaded here on Avsim, file name: beaver_wheels_2005.zip. Zambia Airways was formed as a subsidiary of Central African Airways (CAA) in April 1964. When CAA collapsed in 1967, Zambia Airways became a fully Zambian owned carrier. In 1968, the fleet consisted of DHC2 Beavers, DC-3s, and two newly delivered BAC-111s from the defunct CAA. They flew on regional routes to Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Mauritius. Alitalia was also hired to provide support of the initiation of new international services. A Douglas DC-8-43 leased from Alitalia was used for the long-haul Lusaka to London flights, which were inaugurated in November 1968, via Nairobi and Rome. In 1970 Zambia Airways took delivery of 3 HS-748s, and in 1974 they received their first Boeing liner; the 707-343C. One year later the two BAC-111s were sold to Dan-Air. July 1976 saw the delivery of the carrier's first 737-200. Zambia Airways received their first wide-body DC-10-30 in July 1984. Zambia Airways did well financially over the years, but by the end of the 1980s and early 1990s, things were a bit more complicated. With financial difficulties facing Zambia Airways, it was forced into liquidation in December 1994. Zambia Airways operated a total of 4 DHC-2 Beavers on local services. This aircraft, 9J-RFZ, was with the airline from 1964 to 1967. This repaint should work on FSX & FS2004. Textures are 32bit BMP.

| Republic P-47D-22 365th FG (D5-P) "Astra" |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-22-RE 42-6319 D5-P "Astra", the assigned aircraft of Captain George Porter of the 386th FS/365th FG as it looked in August 1944, while based at Juvincourt (A-68), France. George Porter gained the tongue in cheek title of 'flak analyst extraordinaire' after a june 1944 mission, when the 386th FS lost three aircraft to AA. During debriefing, he referred to "only moderate, and only fairly accurate flak". On 5 september 1944, he chased a Me109 to the deck, and as he closed to 500 yards, the German pilot suddenly bailed out. Porter filmed the crash and pilot on the ground and was disappointed he hadn't even fired a shot. He needed to be convinced by intelligence officers to submit a claim. He received a silver star for an action on october 12, 1944, when he encountered about 40 german fighters.Attacking four, he hit one when his aircraft, D5-P, started leaking oil over the windshield. He attacked another FW190 nonetheless, scoring hits. He later bellied in near Diest, Belgium, severly damaging Astra, but remaining unhurt himself. The tail on his aircraft was a replacement from an older aircraft, which explains the wrong serial on the tail. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

P-51D Mustang 44-14789 "Missouri Armada" flown by Capt. John "Johnny" B. England.John Brooke England was born in 1923 at Caruthersville, Missouri. His service number was O-739263 and he joined the 362nd FS of the 357th FG in April 1943 as a 1/Lt meaning that he was part of the original cadre that left the ZI in November 1943 for the UK. He was promoted to Captain and then to Major. He took command of the 362nd FS on 25 August 1944. He served two tours with the 357th FG for a total of 108 operational missions giving a total of 460 hours combat flying time. He was the second highest scorer in the 357th with a total of 17.5 victories. England finished his second tour and rotated home on 26 January 1945. He remained in the service after the war and was killed in an F-86 crash in November 1954 in France. Alexandria Air Force base in Louisiana was renamed England Air Force Base in his honor. The aircraft was later assigned to Lt. Oscar Ridley, who renamed it "Sad Sack". The a/c was lost on 18 april 1945, with Lt Ridley evading capture. Repaint for the Shockwave WWII Mustang by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by John Terrell.

| Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Castlegar |
|
File Description:
Hi again Flight Simmers. This adventure takes place in the Interior of British Columbia Canada, which is a very rugged and mountainous area. In fact, one of the toughest areas of the World, for any kind of planes to fly regular routes. I flew this route with 2 different airplanes. One with the Dornier and one with the old DC3 Dakota. With the more modern airplane, you can fly in and out of the route in IFR conditions with no problems. But with an aircraft that has a maximum of 500 to 900 Feet per minute rate of climb, you have to fly in VFR condition out of Castlegar to find an area that will allow you to climb to IMC(Instrument Meteorological Conditions) from VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions). The DC3 I flew is by Bill Rambow, Roy Chaffin and Jan Visser. This, folks, is simply the BEST airplane that I have ever seen for MS Flight Sim, since 1982! This airplane and all the necessary scenery for this article can be found at http://wings.ark.com in the Full Throttle directory and probably at the Flight Simulator World web site. A list of all the necessary or nice to have files are listed on these pages.

Special Thanks to VRS for making such an awesome aricraft to fly in FSX! The scenery I used in the promo pics (NAS FALLON B-17 weapons range) is courtesy of "Blue Sky Scenery".
On a personal note, painting airplanes for FSX has become a hobby of sorts for me during these difficult Covid-19 times, and it is my hope that my latest "Labor of Love" brings some happiness to your day!
Kick the Tires and Light the Fires!

File Description:
HMS Bounty for FS9 - VERSION 1.1 - Built Specifically for FS9 (an FSX version is available) by Milton Shupe, Nigel Richards, Rob Barendregt, Sasha Rieger, and Rob Ibey. Helmsman by Craig "Full" Richardson
HMS Bounty 18th Century Tall Ship square rigger completely wind driven, individually animated and controlled sails, animated flags with direction and wind speeds, animated helm, and Sail Management Window to control all ship functions. Ship responds to wind speeds and direction with yaw, keeling, and pitch depending on sails deployed and yard arm positions. Ambient sounds, variable wind and gale storm sounds, ship's bell, "Salute", anchor weigh/drop all add to immersion.
WILL NOT WORK IN FSX as it contains FS9 specific sim interfaces. NOTE: The latest version of FSUIPC is Required for the HMS Bounty to work. See the manual for link. Note: Realism settings should be set to "Hard" for best Wind Effects.
Version 1.1 upgrades:
1) Even more realistic wind effects on yaw and roll based on the confluence of sails deployed, wind speeds and direction relative to ship heading, yard arms angle to the wind, and ground speed.
2) Tugboat function added.
3) Corrected lights positions.
4) Documentation updates.

| FeelThere Map screens megapack |
|
File Description:
This package looks to be my final release of its' kind. Here are over 250 different screens for use with FeelThere Map; an amalgamation of my prior work into one package. You must have the payware add-on, FeelThere Map installed. These screens will work in FS9 and FSX, but were not tested in other sims. They should work in any sim that works with FeelThere Map (i.e. compatible versions of P3D). Many more complete airline sets are found here, along with a few sensible national groupings, a new bizjet operator grouping, and the addition of luxury brand advertisements for our high-end GA cockpit interiors, or to perhaps complete a set for an airline that might only have 2 or 3 screens of its' own. Lots of retro carriers, and some of the complete sets draw from historic timetable art, and/or bring type specificity. There are other packages from different authors available on the internet that would enable the construction of several more complete airline sets, for the dedicated VA pilot. Speaking of VAs, there's a few VA-specific groupings herein, as well. There's literally something here for every Map-enabled aircraft and flight context in your hangar. Enjoy your flights.

| Lelystad airport_EHLE_FSX_new_layout |
|
File Description:
Because the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team no longer releases a new version for the FSX,
this version has been compiled based on nl2k_v4_EHLE_5 with the permission of the the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team.
- Various buildings have been modelled and items from various sources have been added to the airport.
- The EHLElib.BGL file contains all the items that have been used and the textures are complete.
As a result, the airport can be installed without the use of the installation of the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team.
- The airport is surrounded by more trees than the version nl2k_v4_EHLE_5.
- Lampposts have been added to the highway of the approach path of Runway 23 and parking places.
- By means of Airport Design Editor the airport can be changed.
- In the Effects folder, there are effects that should be added to the FSX (SE) folder.
- In the selection folder you will find two options. One is the choice where the new section is active and two where it is inactive.
By placing a copy of one of these in the scenery folder and deleting it already in the scenery.
It will become active after you restart the flight sim.
Enjoy and Happy flying
Jan Zijlstra from the Netherlands
