PMDG SIDSTARS for Portland Intl OR (KPDX)

File Description:
Current (Cycle 0607) terminal procedures file for Portland Intl (KPDX) based on FAA NACO digital terminal procedures and document 7350.7 Ver W. Both Portland Five generic vectors and River Six departures are included with all VORs referenced on charts. Three STARs are enumerated by landing direction, e.g., if landing East (rys 10L/R) use BONVL4.E. The header to the text file (and readme) includes a STAR CHART to assist in the selection of arrival route. Fifteen IAPs are encoded (ILS/LOC RNAV & VOR); however, I excluded the USAF HI, VOR-A and NDB approaches. The fixes for ILS28L are aligned with the default FS9 localizer rather than on extended runway centerline as is the case in the real world. Procedure turns are included where shown as part of the transition on the charts.

Real Night Water

File Description:
In the real world, at night, water appears all black. You can't see it from the air unless there is a reflection from the moon. To get this effect in fs2004, all water display effects have to be set to minimums, but then you lose all reflections. Not any more! Now with Real Night Water, you no longer have to mess with your diplay settings. The water appears black and there is even waves and moon reflections, just like in the real world. No more silver glaze over the water at night. It will work with default textures but was designed utilizing Extra Water by FullThrottleSims/Hector Davila (extrawater.zip) which is highly recommended and freeware available on this site.

Real Night Water Update

File Description:
This is an updated low moon texture for Real Night Water. In the real world, the moon's reflection on the water is wider when the moon is higher above the horizon and thinner lower to the horizon. Since, in FS2004, there is only one texture for this wide range as the moon sets, this file, I believe, is a happy medium. This file only contains one texture. You must have the original Real Night Water previously installed.

PMDG SIDSTARS Cycle 0609 Collection

File Description:
PMDG SIDSTARS Procedure files by Dan Downs for current (31Aug06-28Sep) cycle. Source for all changes and additions is FAA NACO Digital Terminal Procedures charts. Most of these files are based on earlier work by Terry Yingling, with much appreciation; however, I have started developing my own procedures and these will include useful information in the header of each text file, including DP and STAR charts to assist in selecting procedures. The latest of these is KHOU; also, KFLL and KONT have been added to the collection since the last cycle. This collection includes the following 33 locations: KABQ KAUS KBNA KBWI KCMH KDAL KDEN KFLL KGEG KHOU KLAS KLAX KMCI KMCO KMDW KMSY KOAK KONT KPDX KPHL KPHX KRDU KRNO KSAN KSAT KSEA KSJC KSLC KSMF KSNA KSTL KTPA KTUS

PMDG SIDSTARS Update for John Wayne Airport - Orange County CA (KSNA)

File Description:
Current full set of procedures (eff Cycle 0609) modified to include transitions between STARS and ILS 19R in lieu of vectors (for anyone not flying with ATC). The routes are realistically based on actual tracks observed on flightaware for arrivals using KAYOH or TANDY STARS (most all traffic). The KAYOH arrival from the East provides an arc around the Santa Anna mountains for a safe smooth descent to final and the TANDY arrival from the North provides excellent views of the LA Basin and overflys Disneyland on the right downwind pattern. These arrivals are listed separately from the normal arrivals for use with ATC service so flight simming with or without ATC is supported. A comprehensive readme is included.

PMDG SIDSTARS Hartsfiled-Jackson Atlanta Intl (KATL)

File Description:
PMDG Terminal Procedures file for KATL current as of cycle 0609 (31 Aug - 28 Sep 06). Based on FAA NACO Digital Terminal Procedures. Includes all procedures and approaches (16-DPs 11-STARs 21-IAPs). All RNAV arrivals are enumerated for landing East or West (e.g. use HONIE3.E landing East) and assume vectors to final per charted instructions. These are also provided in runway-specific versions for use in lieu of vectors, the procedure connects to a ILS approach at the final approach fix (e.g., HONIE3.27L provides a downwind, base and a localizer intercept for the ILS27L approach). These routes are based on actual ground tracks observed at flightaware.com for East and West traffic flows. The readme includes SID & STAR charts to assist procedure selection, and recommendations on how to fly the challenging arrival patterns where entry to downwind is at 12000-13000 ft followed by 5000-8000 ft descent prior to turning base.
