Reducing FSX Traffic speed - an Illustrated tutorial
One of the more "interesting" enhancements which Microsoft introduced in FSX is the vehicle traffic which can be seen on the highways around larger cities and airports. However many simmers feel the speed at which these vehicles travel is considerably too fast and therefore quite unrealistic. One simmer has even commented that he cannot overtake many vehicles when flying low and slow in the default Cessna.
It is quite easy to edit the speeds of such vehicles and the process has been documented in at least one forum post. However I thought it might be useful - especially for those not accustomed to working with command line interfaces - to have a tutorial available which illustrates each step.

| Slewable Control Tower |

File Description:
WHAT IS IT?
In a nutshell, the stock FSX control tower turned into an airplane with the aerodynamics of a cement brick with highly adjustable landing gear for tower height. No longer does one have to create a multiplayer session to use the stock control tower to do some AI "plane watching". The control tower is fitted with floats so one can slew to a good vantage point at certain airports like Boston Logan, La Guardia or KSFO for instance, floating on water. (Yes, it still "bobs" with waves) This was also done for better stability on uneven ground and the inability to roll around. There are some new features added such as tower flood lighting, a reference switch, and an external program to adjust the tower height (30-1000 ft.) for convenience. ( Not tested at all in P3D )

File Description:
GMMX - Menara Intl Airport - Marrakech, Morocco, Phase 1. Marrakech-Menara Airport is an airport serving Marrakech, the capital city of the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz region in Morocco. It is an international facility that receives several European flights as well as flights from Casablanca and some of the Arab world nations.
Construction is going on to enlarge the airport. Impressions of what the new situation will be like are enclosed. This reworked AFCAD shows the construction area, adds taxiways P1 and P2, updates the airports lay-out as per today's situation, enhances the surrounding area and improves the overall signage, pavement and parking facilities. Once the new terminal is open, the AFCAD will be updated.
Using ADEx 1.51, aeronautical maps and Google Earth all these changes have been built into the default FSX airport.

CYQT - Thunder Bay International Airport / Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
This airport update was made with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design Editor) and made for FSX as a replacement for the stock (default) airport. I found that most stock airports in FSX lack a decent amount of character and realism and I've tried to fix that a little bit. This airport in particular had no commercial aircraft parking at all. I have also added the missing main terminal building with gates including the two jetways the real CYQT has. A number of spots for general aviation aircraft has also been added. A few small touches like cars in the parking lot and some birds near the airport were added as well.
I hope to do a few more of these as time permits, hope you enjoy!

| KLAW - Fort Sill Regional / Lawton Muni - Oklahoma, USA |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
FSX Scenery - Lawton Fort Sill Regional Airport (IATA: LAW[2], ICAO: KLAW, FAA LID: LAW) is a city owned airport two miles south of Lawton, in Comanche County, Oklahoma. It is used for military aviation from nearby Fort Sill and Sheppard Air Force Base and is served by American Eagle. Allegiant Air runs occasional charters to various destinations in the western United States. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011-2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 77,533 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 71,389 in 2009 and 68,054 in 2010. The 2013 Federal sequester will result in the closure of the airport's control tower and will require pilots to rely on air traffic controllers from other area airports.

| YBSS Bacchus Marsh AU |

File Description:
Bacchus Marsh Airfield is located approx 40km WNW of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was never included in the original FSX.
This package incorporates a choice of blending into either the fsx default landscape or the Orbx AU landscape. This airport has been modeled from photographs freely available off the internet.
A folder is enclosed to give comparisons of detail at ground level. In Display Settings, set texture resolution as desired.
All hangars are my generic ones and chosen for similarity in shape, colour and size to the real ones on the ground. The package includes about 100 FSDS custom made scenery objects ranging from hangars to ground litter and many in
between, useful for also installing in other rural airports via a scenery editor. It includes some grass and tussocks vegetation to help give the visual of a rural airfield.

| Alpha Air "TWA Express 1995" Beechcraft 1900C |
|
File Description:
Alpha Air was an independent LAX based commuter airline who began operating as a Trans World Express(TWE) carrier in the mid 90s. With a fleet of 3 B1900Cs, in a mix of TWE and Alpha Air liveries, the B1900s did a combination of flying to resort cities like Mammoth Lakes, South Lake Tahoe, and the Grand Canyon and commuter flying between SoCal airports like BUR, SNA, and PSP with the route network stretching as far East as Phoenix. Between 1994 and 1995, most of the commuter routes(all except LAX-PSP-PHX) were dropped in favor of adding flights between TVL and SFO several times daily, GCN was also dropped around this time. These plans combine 94/95 to represent all routes flown in the mid-90s. Also included are textures for the full fleet with 3 variations of the HTAI B1900C.

| Weather Center 2 Novice |
|
File Description:
Weather Center 2.0 is an advanced weather generation add-on module for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000/2002. Weather Center 2.0 features a completely re-engineered weather generation core that produces some of the most realistic, generated weather environments ever seen in Flight Simulator! The new, unique "I-Field" algorithm translates automatically downloaded Internet data into a dynamic weather environment based not only on the data from the nearest reporting airport (like Weather Center 1), but on all nearby airports, which all provide some piece of the overall weather scene generated around the aircraft!
The Novice edition includes a 15-minute demo period each time it is started, during which all the Expert features are enabled. After the demo period expires, the Novice edition continues to function indefinitely with an obsolete weather generation algorithm with most new core features disabled.
