| KLM Douglas DC-6 |
|
File Description:
Having been an operator of the Douglas DC-2, DC-3, DC-4 and DC-5, it seemed only logical that KLM (celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2009) purchased the DC-6 for its long-haul routes. Seemed, because KLM already operated the Lockheed L-049 Constellation, the DC-6's competitor. Nevertheless, Connie and DC-6 marched on together quite well. Enclosed in this package are five repaints of DC-6's during several stages in their life with KLM. The 1957 livery of PH-DPP was an interim-livery (see the 'old fashioned' white lettering and the early-fifties style cowlings). The 1962 livery of PJ-DPI seems to have been an attempt to fit into the new house style of KLM without having to respray the fuselage, as the DC-6 reached the end of its KLM carreer anyway. These are textures only. You will require Jens B. Kristensen's FSX Douglas DC-6 (dc6_v20x.zip). Original textures by Jens B. Kristensen. Repaints by Maarten Brouwer.

| NAS North Island Mast |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
On 13, October 1923, a special USN board directed that semiportable mooring masts (160-foot poles of steel tubing 16 inches in diameter and braced by three sets of guy wires) were to be erected at Forth Worth, San Diego and Camp Lewis (Washington State). In August of 1924, it was decided that the USS Shenandoah (ZRS-1) would make a set of flights's from her base at NAS Lakehurst to the West Coast and back, using the mooring masts at Fort Worth, San Diego and Seattle (Camp Lewis). In accordince with this plan, the USS Shenandoah arrived at the Naval Air Station North Island at 2300 on 10 October 1924, and landed on the ground. She was then secured to the mooring mast the following morning, during daylight. She remained moored to the mast for the next five days, while some damage that was done during the landing the previous evening, was repaired.

| Northbrook East CF47 and Northbrook West CF48, Ontario, Canada |
|
File Description:
Thirty five miles north of the 401 on Highway 41 is a small town called Northbrook, and in the town itself is a dirt strip with a runway 11/29 1,830 feet long, which for the sake of telling them apart I have called Northbrook East. I have no idea of the history, or even of the reason why. Less than a mile west of the town is a second dirt strip with a runway 04/22 2,200 feet long. This one (Northbrook West) was built to support construction of the electrical power line installation and there is a dirt clearing between the strip and the power lines. There is absolutely nothing at either of these fields, no fuel, no oil, no hangar, and a very rough surface. Although I have made these as grass strips in fact they are dirt; the reason I didn't make them dirt is that dirt in FS9 stands out for miles and looks awful.

| Paul Farm Field CF16 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Paul Field is on the south side of Highway 174, four miles east of Hawkesbury Windover Field and five miles west of the town of Hawkesbury; the town is on the south bank of the Ottawa River approximately midway between Ottawa and Montreal. I first saw the field when I was on the way to Windover a few years ago. I asked some old timers at Windover who the grass strip belonged to and they said "Paul". It may not be what Paul calls it, but it's the only name I know it by. Probably Paul doesn't call it anything, it's just the field where he keeps his plane. There is a grass runway approximately north-south and 2,000 feet long, and two hangars which look to be an old one and a new one. In real life the runway isn't so north-south as it lines up with the farm fields alignment which is of course in FS is auto-generated and not actuality-accurate.

| Maniwaki CYMW in Ontario Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Maniwaki airfield is seven miles south of the town of Maniwaki and some 60 miles north of Ottawa, up the Gatineau River. There is a generous 5,000 feet of runway 03/21 that is 150 feet wide and in bad condition, so bad that there are now almost no markings of any sort (even a centre line, the apron has more paint than the runway!) and the whole lot is going to be redone next summer. The apron is large, and in the summer accomodates two Bombardier CL 415 fire fighting amphibians, which is why there is a large access platform loitering on the apron. There are only five hangars on the field with another one tucked into the trees behind a house. The hangars and the office/cafe building have been modelled specifically for this field. There are further buildings to the north which are not actually on the airfield and which house fire department personnel.

File Description:
This German assault/freight glider, developed by the DFS (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt fur Segelflug / German Research Institute for Sailplane Flight), was used for the first time during the operation against the Belgian Fort Eben Emael near Maastrich (May 10, 1940). They were also used during Krete invasion (Maleme, 1941), in the Western Desert and on the Russian Front for transport purposes. Were used also to deliver the Otto Skorzeny's commandos against the Gran Sasso mountain-top hotel that was used to hold Mussolini (Sept.12, 1943).
The Royal Italian Air Force (Regia Aeronautica) received from the Luftwaffe almost 20 '230 and 4 Gotha Go-242, but they were used only for training.
UPGRADED VERSION, now with functionally jettisonable undercarriage, drag chute and revised flight dynamics. Complete aircraft. Original GMAX hi-res model, features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, canopy and doors (5 different versions); Five different liveries (4 'LW' +1 "R.A.'); multiview 2D panel (NO VC). Created by Manuele Villa.

| Sabena (Circa 1960) Douglas DC-6 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The first European operator of the Douglas DC-6 was the Belgian airline Sabena. The first of five DC-6s, which was registered OO-AWA (see Jens B. Kristensen's FS2004 Douglas DC-6 (dc6_v20.zip), was delivered on 15 July 1947. It was introduced on the Brussels-New York service in August 1947. Of course the DC-6s also operated on the Brussels-Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) route, the "lifeline" to the former Belgian colony Congo. From 1953 on they were joined by nine slightly larger DC-6Bs and one DC-6A. Except for OO-AWB which crashed in 1955, the "short" DC-6 had a remarkably long career with Sabena, incl. being leased to Air Congo. The last example was sold in 1965. Original textures by Jens B. Kristensen. Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.
These are textures only. You will require Jens B. Kristensen's FS2004 Douglas DC-6 (dc6_v20.zip).

| FSX Engine and Flight Instrument Failure Generator |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The FSX Engine and Flight Instrument Failure Generator program allows the user to simulate the loss of one randomly selected engine (out of 4 max) and up to five flight instruments: Airspeed Indicator (ASI), Attitude Indicator (AI), Altimeter (ALT), Vertical Velocity Indicator (VVI) and Directional Gyro (DG).
The program works with most FSX default aircraft and to varying degrees with payware aircraft depending on how much the payware aircraft adheres to the FSX of doing things. Failures are based on failure probabilities, ranging from 0 to 100%, assigned by the user to the engine(s) and each of the flight instruments. Failures occur at random times within a specified time period called the Failure Window which the user can specify to be from 1 to 240 minutes. The FSX Engine and Flight Instrument Failure Generator is a Lua program and requires a registered version of FSUIPC4. Operation and Installation manual included.
