| Glacier Bay - Alaska/Canada, Version 2, Part 1 of 2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Glacier Bay v2 is a complete replacement of the default FS2004 landscape and scenery of more than 90,000 square kilometers (36,000 sq miles) of Southeast Alaska and adjacent areas of Yukon and British Columbia. File 1 of 2 (also requires glbayv2b.zip)
Landscape enhancements include high-resolution terrain mesh, detailed shorelines, rivers, lakes, and glaciers, and accurate land cover data with custom seasonal ground textures. Inland water bodies can be made to "freeze over" via an on/off switch. Other landmarks include the settlements of Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Yakutat, Atlin, and Carcross as well as road and railroad networks, cabins, lodges, and lighthouses. We modeled or enhanced 16 main airfields (plus one fictitious airstrip), 20 unlisted airstrips, 16 seaplane bases, and seven heliports. We've also included AI ship traffic in various locations as well as optional flightplans for GA and floatplane AI traffic.
Glacier Bay v2 is fully compatible with other third-party add-ons, including terrain mesh (FSGlobal, FS Genesis, etc.), ground textures (Ground Environment, BEV, FScene, etc.), and landscape enhancements (Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska, Misty Fjords, Tongass Fjords, Freight Dogs). A configurator panel (requires .Net Framework!) allows users to set compatibility options and to choose levels of scenery detail. We provide an autoinstaller and detailed documentation with a sectional map of the coverage area and a list of weblinks to real-world information.
For feedback and questions, please visit the Glacier Bay v2 support forum at http://forums.fsaddon.eu/viewforum.php?f=10. This project is a collaboration of nine FS developers from Germany, Austria, USA, and Canada, logging more than 1000 hours of work over the past 14 months. We acknowledge the kind support of FSAddon.com. However, this project is independent of any commercial company or product. Enjoy!

| W88 Air Harbor - Greensboro NC |
|
File Description:
I decided to make this modification to W88 (Air Harbor, Greensboro NC) simply because the stock airport was done completely wrong. The default version has way too much ramp area where there should be grass runway. According to Airnav ( http://www.airnav.com/airport/W88 ), the runway is 2460' x 65', composed of "asphalt/turf." MS put in a 20' wide asphalt strip, but put a huge ramp right next to it. I've done two things to the airport. First, I severly reduced the size of that ramp. Second, due to the limitations in FS, I simply added a 40' wide grass runway adjacent to the asphalt strip. This gives you the total width called for by Airnav's spec, and also gives two more starting points as a bonus! There's still more ramp than in real-life, but I just consider that "artistic license." :)

| North American P-51D "Butch Baby" (Wings of Power) |
|
File Description:
Wings of Power Republic P-51D-10-NA "Butch Baby" 362nd FS, 357th FG, 8th USAAF, England, June 1944. "Butch Baby" was Jullian H. Bertram's Mustang, and it was assigned to the 357th Fighter Group. P-51Ds were delivered in a natural metal and silver dope finish, but the 357th FG painted many of its P-51Ds in the field. At times regulation USAAF Olive Drab and Neutral Gray were used, but British greens and grays were often used as well. "Butch Baby" was painted with British Green over U.S. Neutral Gray. The small orange objects with the silver surround on the side of the fuselage and near the center of the national insignia are formation lights. Formation lights were installed on relatively few Mustangs. This aircraft survived the hostilities but was scrapped in June 1945 after a landing accident at Leiston (UK).

| KMHV Mojave Airport v2.0 |
|
File Description:
This remote former World War II desert airfield has developed some very interesting and unusual features. It is a center for civilian aviation R&D, a major aircraft storage and scrap yard (possibly the largest nonmilitary one in the country), a busy film site, and is the home of the National Test Pilot School, the largest civilian test pilot school in the world. Also located here is Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites company, where many innovative aircraft designs have been conceived and constructed. Mojave Airport is also where many commercial carriers store surplus or otherwise in- limbo airliners. There are currently around 90 airplanes waiting to be sold, repaired or reused here, including several 747s. This file has been designed to work on both FS2004 and FS-X platforms. Requires RWY 12 Object Placer program (available at www.avsim.com) for full enhancement.

File Description:
Grise Fiord, NWT Canada scenery - CYGZ (FSX).
This is a fictitious rendition of the actual and VERY REMOTE Airport at Grise Fiord in the Canadian NWT - CYGZ.
Grise Fiord is the most northerly community in Canada.
Only operators with considerable experience should use this aerodrome at all. Bring your Twin Otter. There are places to fly your helocopters too. (Explore the oil rigs or see if you can land on one of the destroyers passing by).
See the whales!
See: http://www.copanational.org/PlacesToFly/airport_view.php?pr_id=13&ap_id=288

| VTOL/Hover gauge for Harrier |
|
File Description:
This freeware gauge adds new VTOL & Hover features to the FS9 payware Sigma/Iris Harrier.
Besides true vertical takeoff&landing, it allows you to fly forward, backward,
sideways and turn, while in a hover.
This solution is based on overriding the normal FS flightdynamics while in a
hover; in short, it's a VTOL&Hover FDE coded in a gauge.
Special thanks to Doug Dawson, who created a gauge that provides for overriding
FSX variables from an XML gauge.
Requires FSUIPC4 (registered or unregistered, NOT included).
The README includes extensive installation and flying instructions, including
how to port your FS9 version of the Harrier to FSX.
Besides the VTOL gauge, it also adds a fuel dump/load gauge, a gauge that lets
you change the vertical ViewDirection in the 2D Cockpit, and replacements for two
FSX-incompatible gauges in the original Harrier package.

| P-51D Mustang 'Live Bait' |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Warbirdsim product 'Mustang Tales'. This repaint depicts the restored P-51D-25-NA 44-73343, "Live Bait", which completed a ground-up restoration by Midwest Aero Restorations in 2010. The aircraft spent most of the 1960's as a Reno air racer, with the names "Seattle Miss", "Esther's Mink", "Traveler", and "Miss Salmon River". Following a crash landing at the 1971 races, the aircraft would pass through a few owners until restoration finally began on the aircraft in 2005. The aircraft first flew again in July 2010, and took home the Reserve Grand Champion WWII award at the 2010 EAA Airventure Oshkosh air show. The markings are that of Captain Clayton Kelly Gross, 355th FS, 354th FG, 9th Air Force. Kelly Gross was reunited with this, 'his' airplane, at Oshkosh 2010.

| EKAE - Aero Island - Denmark ** Ver.1** |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Aero is a small island situatet in the area south of Funen among many other small islands. This Area is only a short flight away from Northern Germany and called "The Danish South Funen Archepelago".
The strip has a 590x30m grass Runway, and is approved for VMC day and VFR night operations.
I tried to emulate the character of Aero as well as possible using existing standard objects in combination with some new build objects like the main building.
The scenery includes a photo background covering alls four seasons and some night textures.
However, many smaller Objects, like people were taken from a popular freeware library for whose use I got the friendly permission of the autor.
If these library are not installed, some objects are not visible!
The following library is used:

| Pacific Western Airlines L-188 'Silver Bullet' |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the L-188 in Pacific Western Airlines colors. The freeware L-188 by Libardo Guzman is needed for this repaint. PWA operated a total of 4 L-188s from 1971 to 1976. This aircraft is the most intersting of the four. They nicknamed it the "Silver Bullet". It was a fuel tanker and was used to support the arctic oil exploration projects. It was unique in that fuel tankers were rare and this aircraft had the name and logo painted over the shiny unpainted aircraft.
I have included DXT3 textures, which will enable the FS2004 users to fly this plane. Just copy the DXT3 textures in the enclosed folder, then paste them into the main L-188 folder, overwriting the files there.
This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX boxed & FS 2004.
