File Description:
This is Ketchikan PAKT in southern Alaska, 45 miles north of the Canadian border and 220 miles south of Juneau. It is the closest major Alaskan airport to the lower 48 and most flights from or to Seattle pass through Ketchikan en route. The airport is on the southern side of the stretch of water known as The Narrows and the town is on the northern side, with ferries connecting the two. The town side was somewhat modified as part of one of the three Misty Fjords sceneries, so there were already some marinas and docked cruise liners etc before I started this. In addition, Ketchikan Airport had been partly made way back in 2006, and further modified in 2007; I say "partly" as there is in fact no way to accurately make PAKT within the limitations of FS9 as there is a 50 or 60 feet difference in elevation between runway and apron, and the taxiways are actually ramps up from the apron to the ends of the runway. This has a knock-on effect on the float plane and ferry docks on the water below the airport. I can see why the Misty Fjord sceneries avoided it. This scenery retains the original buildings from the Alan Wright scenery. It also includes the modification made by John Hinson, who created the second taxiway to the western end of the runway; FS9 had not included this as the original airport started operations with only one taxiway in place. There are new vehicles on the apron (fuel etc), new apron markings and some parking modifications to enable AI with Boing 737, DC6, Beechcraft 1900, and GA, plus runway and taxiway signage, windsocks, some car parking, freight items, etc. There is a road and covered bridges down to the docks and ferry, and the town side of the water has been modelled to include other float plane docks along with waterfront buildings, including the ship repair facility with it's dry dock (actually a floating dock that lifts ships out of the water) and the Alaskan Ferry Terminal wharf etc. The ferry forms a part of the AI, generously permitted by FSAddon and originally a part of the payware Tongass Fjords package, as are the AI aircraft also included here. There are new waterside buildings that stretch from the ship repair yard, past the shopping plaza and onward to the stationary cruise liners (that were part of the Tongass payware scenery) including float docks for the float plane companies that are based in Ketchikan, plus a new AI liner. The AI is a further adaptation of the already posted CF36 AI and PAKN AI, as listed in the AI folder. Due to the surrounding hills there may be some interference with AI float aircraft, depending on the wind direction, though I have watched succesful Beaver landings with the wind from the east. The combined AI for float planes creates a float plane take off or landing at, on average, 20 minute intervals; this is still well short of the actual busy summertime period.

| Fotoreal panel Boeing B-777 with TCAS, wingviews and full interior views |
|
File Description:
FS2004-photoreal panel Boeing B-777 with TCAS and wingviews in 2 Versions:
Version 1 has full interior views and 2 animated wingviews for the wingviews-model of Project Opensky
B-777 V2 and can be used for any other B-777 without wingviews.
Version 2 is the alternative 2D-panel for the VC-model of POSKY B-777 V2, shows no wingviews and
is usable only for this model.
Both versions are prepared for TCASII V7.0 of Lee Hetherington for optional installation.

| FinneyGround Crosshairs_Plus |
|
File Description:
This is a set of Gmax aircraft models in the form of a crosshair made for placement of objects in Rwy12.
As an avid Rwy12 and Gmax user, I often found it difficult to accurately place many of the objects I created because an aircraft is too big for a placement tool. At the same time, it was often difficult to know where another designer put the centerpoint for his object.
With the Crosshairs_Plus, we hope to make it easier for the user to accurately place objects in Rwy12, and to clearly see where an object's centerpoint is.
These GMAX aircraft models utilize the Aircraft.cfg, sound, and .air files from the Unreal Aviation Jetpack by Kevin Bryan, therefore, while designed for SLEW mode, they also fly nicely in Jetpack mode when SLEW is turned off while in the air.

| FDE iFDG A320 LIP v1.7 |
|
File Description:
A320 IAE V2500-A5@27000Lbs With LIP v1.7 (Lift Improvement Package) by Alan Fernandes and improved A-FLOOR protection by Edson Costa. Application of LIP on A320-IAE has been developed with the main objective to improve landing performance at SDU (PR-MAG and PR-MAK). LIP allows to reduce the approach speed by 6-7 kt for operational landing weights. Note: Preliminary estimate of the speed benefit was around 4kt. Five structural modifications have been introduced to change the aerodynamic configuration of the aircraft: 3 modifications on the wing leading edge, 1 modification on the engine nacelle (not modeled) and 1 modification on the wing trailing edge. Trim resets after landing. Thanks for Rob Barendregt. Samir Arman test-pilot (SDU). IAE V2500 parameters by Pedro Oliveira. More accurate G/S capture. Enjoy!
