File Description:
Ridge Soaring Gliderport (79N) is a public-use glider airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southwest of the central business district of Unionville, in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is privately owned by Knauff & Grove, Inc. Tom Knauff and Doris grove are among the whos who in American and International soaring community.
Portions of the 1999 movie The Thomas Crown Affair were filmed here.
Co-owner Thomas L. Knauff set five FAI world records, and over 50 NAA national records flying from this airport.
Co-owner Doris Grove set three FAI feminine world records flying from this airport, and was the first woman to fly a glider more than 1000 km.
This FBO airport is world famous for ridge, thermal and wave soaring. It is located on U.S. Route 220 (alternate) 8 miles south of Interstate 80, between Unionville and Julian, at the base of the Bald Eagle Mountain ridge. It is approximately 10 miles from State College and approximately midway between Altoona and Lock Haven in the Bald Eagle Valley. Visitors can look at an entire wall of U.S. National and World records that have been set from this airfield.
Sadly as with so many small airports, Ridge Soaring is in risk of disappearing. for sale for many years, with no takers it may be sold to developers and disappear forever.
In FSX the airport was on the wrong side of the highway and cut into a mountain, I moved it to its proper location and heading, made the runway the correct size and heading, and added all the current buildings.

File Description:
FS2004 - (Glasgow)Prestwick International Airport.
This whole package is intended to compliment the comprehensive scenery for Scotland provided by the Scotflight Commercial Product, whilst at the same time being fully compatible with default scenery also.
This Fs2004 only compatible scenery gives highly detailed scenery for Prestwick Airport and it's immediate surrounds.
Prestwick Airport is a hub for the low-cost carrier Ryanair providing flights to many European destinations. Other holiday charter flights operate from the airport and there is a busy cargo terminal. Also adjacent to the airfield is the BAE Systems factory ( formerly Scottish Aviation) and extensive detailed scenery for this site is included.
The ground elements of the scenery are drawn with Lee Swordy's excellent Afcad program. The same file also adds AI traffic and accurately placed gates and parking spots. Included is the recently added FlightCentre, with AI traffic movements, the new Ryanair Service Hangar and new Business Park.
All added buildings are custom made, many with photo-texturing. The scenery has taxiway signs, active wigwags and full night lighting and a few static aircraft, discreetly placed.
A stretch of redrawn accurate coastline is included allowing the addition of the sandy beaches on the approach to Runway 13.
The two renowned championship golf courses of Royal Troon and Old Prestwick also feature on the seaward approach plus further golf courses in the towns of Prestwick and Ayr.
A local replacement road system covering the airport surrounds and the towns of Prestwick and Ayr is also included and this together with the replacement coastline should be compatible with any of the new Coastline and Roads products now available.

File Description:
This is a re-upload. Due to the recent library "switch", my original posting was lost and I was asked to re-upload it. Anyway, I am proud to present this repaint of the Project Opensky A330-343X, registration HB-JHQ, of Edelweiss Air. This is Edelweiss Air's first A330-300. From its humble beginnings in 1995 with a single MD-83, Edelweiss Air has garnered accolades for its performance and customer service and is now a subsidiary of Lufthansa through its earlier acquisition by Swiss International Air Lines.
This repaint has many custom textures. All windows are hand-painted, 3D with window shades. The night windows textures and other night textures are custom as well. Engine textures, turbofans, fuselage shading and tail textures are all custom. Also, the wheels and tires are custom and hand drawn. The main gear wheels are as real as I could get them. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps for best clarity and quality. This is a complete installation package; version 2004.8.3 of the Project Opensky A330-300 V2 model and air files included. Uses default 737-400 panel and sounds.

| NZWV - Waihi Beach Airfield, New Zealand |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Waihi Beach (ICAO: NZWV) is a small airstrip north of Tauranga and near the small beach settlement of the same name, in the Bay of Plenty of New Zealand. It is a grass strip with offset thresholds giving usable landing lengths of 640m and 517m for RWY 13 and 31 respectively, a width of 55m and a group rating of 5. No night lighting or fuel is available. A very basic airstrip, there is only one recently built hanger and the airstrip is slowly being encroached on by
new housing developments. The airstrip itself is usually very sodden due to its low elevation but is a nice stop over for sightseeing from Tauranga and up the Coromandel peninsula.
The FSX model includes custom textures and models placed on a high resolution aerial image and a 15m mesh. It makes extensive use of items from the free VLC object libraries which are required to be installed (Available from www.vectorlandclass.co.nz Downloads menu). This scenery and
the VLC libraries have been funded by sales of VectorLandClass and although you do not need VLC to use it, your purchase helps further development.
