| The Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River, Zambia/Zimbabwe |
|
File Description:
One of the main landmarks of Africa, the spectacular Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River are missing in out-of-the-box FS. With a local SRTM LOD9 mesh as a base (included) and the help of satellite imagery, maps, Ground2K4, and GMax, we did our best to model a realistic representation of the falls, the river, and the gorge, complete with custom waterfall and spray effects. The portion of the Zambezi covered in this project extends from E25 to E26.5 (more than 100km), with the falls at its center. Also included is a replacement landclass file for an area of about 20km on either side of the Zambezi River and an optional AI boat (by Lynn and Bill Lyons) cruising on the Zambezi above the falls. Tested with FS2004 only but most scenery enhancements (not the AI boat) should work just as well in FS2002.

| San Diego Extras |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Many extras around the San Diego area including carriers, cargo ships, criuse liners, destroyers, power and sail boats, various cranes, shoreline buildings and a strange but unique helipad built on huge rocks on the shoreline to the north on the coast. I thought there were too many open spots around the area so I filled most of them. Designed with a clean install of FSX so if you have addons such as Ultimate terrain, objects may appear where they were not intended to be. designed to enhance your FS world.
I'm keeping track of the number of downloads as to these "clean install" sceneries which will help me decide later in purchasing some addons to make my sceneries viewable to a larger number of users. An email would be appreciated regarding the success of you seeing the scenery properly.
Hope you do see the objects and thanks............enjoy!........savageale

| Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 v2.2 Final Package |
|
File Description:
**** THIS FILE SUPERCEEDS MY ORIGINAL FILE b737_700_southwest_v21.zip **** v2.2 - REPORTED BUGS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. The 737 was born out of Boeing's need to field a competitor in the short-range, small capacity jetliner market which had been opened up by the BAC 1-11 and the Douglas DC-9. Boeing was badly behind however when the 737 program was initiated in 1964, as both of these rivals were already into their flight certification programmes. The 737 was cheaper and quicker to design, featuring six-abreast seating compared to the 1-11 and DC-9's five-abreast layout.By the 1990s, the 737 had lost ground technologically to the newer Airbus A320. In 1993, Boeing initiated the 737-X or Next Generation (NG) program. The Next-Generation 737 encompasses the -600, -700, -800 and -900, and amounted to a complete redesign of the 30-year old airliner. The 737NG is an entirely new aircraft, sharing very little with previous 737s, other than fuselage frames. New wings, new avionics and revised engines were the biggest engineering changes. The 737 was given a glass cockpit with CRT screens (except the -900, which had newer and higher tech LCD screens) and digital systems inspired by the ones that were used on the 777. The parts count is down by about 33%, reducing weight and simplifying maintenance. Additional changes since its introduction include a new interior and performance enhancing winglets which reduce fuel consumption and improve take-off and climb performance. All textures have been modified in DXT-3 format for crisp visuals without comprimising frame rates. Includes the default FS-X Boeing 737 panel. Sounds have been defaulted to the FS-X 737-800, however I recommend the excellent 737 CFM56 "the real deal" version 2 soundpack (file name:737_cfm56__the_real_deal_version_2.zip located at AVSIM.com) for this aircraft series. Additionally, this aircraft series has no Virtual Cockpit (VC), therefore you must fly them using the 2-D default panel view only! This package includes Southwest Airlines liveries (Canyon Blue, Maryland One, Nevada One, Old Color & Shamu).

| PS Panels 737NG |
|
File Description:
Built completely from scratch, the PS Panels 737NG incorperates a high level of realism whilst still allowing the virtual pilot to use important FS features such as the flight planner and ATC systems.
Authentic NG EHSI
The PS Panels 737NG incorporates a high definition EHSI display including all the modes as per the real aircraft.
Approach, VOR, Map and Plan modes are all modelled (APP, VOR and Map in both Expanded and Standard modes).
The authentic and fully animated EHSI control panel allows the virtual pilot to set the display to his preference.
The PS Panels 737NG interfaces completely with the FS Flight Planner, you're flight plan will be automatically displayed in both the Plan and Map modes.
Extensive Overhead
The PS Panels 737NG incorporates a custom overhead panel to control the many modelled aircraft systems.
Based on the real NG Overhead panel with a slightly altered layout that allows the virtual pilot to continue to monitor his key instruments whilst managing the Fuel, Electrical, Hydraulic, Lighting and Pnuematic systems controlled through the panel.
Careful attention combined with detailed research has allowed us to model these systems to a high degree of accuracy.
Complete Radio Stack
The panel comes with an authentic 737NG radio stack, accurate down to the last details.
IRS System
The PS Panels 737NG models the operation of the aircrafts IRS. Unless proper alignment is completed through the IRS panel, many features of the aircraft's displays will be INOP.
Custom Throttle Panel
The panel comes with a custom throttle panel accurate to that on the real aircraft.
Advanced 2-stage Night Lighting
A first for PS Panels, the 737NG contains two stage night lighting allowing the virtual pilot to choose between two levels of cockpit lighting on the fly.
The main panel and all subpanels are lit using the same schemes.
Thanks to Yoo Sang Jun for his work on this.

| HB-CIS AeroLocarno - Swiss Cessna C172 ( Flight 1 ) |
|
File Description:
"Swiss hangar" is a large repaint collection for payware and freeware aircraft that will give you the opportunity to fly over the FS 2004 swiss and european sky with aircrafts in original swiss livery. Every aircraft is perfectly reproduced like the original one. Drawing are based on the author photo documentation or from photos available on internet (Airliners.net, MyAviation.net etc.).
Hope you will enyoy my work! Happy landings!
This aircraft, Cessna C172 HB-CIS, belongs to AeroLocarno flying school ( www.aerolocarno.ch ) and is based on the "Aeroporto cantonale di Locarno" (LSZL) , in south Switzerland, near the italian border, ideal place for wonderful VFR flights over huge Alpi mountains and beatiful lakes.As the adversidsment clearly say (in italian and german) this Cessna is mainly used to make tourist flights.
It is strongly recommended the use of the payware add ons "Switzerland professional"by Flylogic, and "VFR-Airfields-Locarno" by CR-software for the most full immersion experience with this aircraft.

File Description:
Tips and Tricks - 24 - The FINAL issue. Issue number 24 officially brings to an end the Tips and Tricks for FS2004 series. This issue is packed with some useful tips and how-to's, valuable web-site links and much, much more. The "From the E-mail bag" segment explores several ways to recover disk space and there is a special interview with a prolific author of FS scenery. You will also find a Bonus File which will make the startup of a reviewed aircraft considerably easier. Look for a special Holiday recommendation (for kids of all ages). I have even thrown in a bit of Aviation humor. An updated index for the entire series (by John Burford) is also included. Hopefully you will find something of use, be you a "newbie" or a long time simmer. Please unzip (using folders option) to a temporary folder. Compiled in pdf format for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

| BeThere! |
|
File Description:
This package contains the BeThere! gauge. It lets you pause the flight simulator once the aircraft reaches a certain position.
This is useful for long range flights where the pilot wants to leave the flight sim unattended. The procedure is to either load an FS flightplan, switch the navigation mode of the autopilot to GPS and engage the autopilot. Or - with advanced aircraft add-ons - a flightplan is loaded into the FMC and the LNAV mode is set to let the aircraft automatically follow the track. Anyway, the problem is, that the pilot doesn't want to miss the top of descent. So the pilot has to check the computer regularily in order to be there when it becomes interesting again. Or, and that's the idea of this package, the flight sim is automatically paused at a safe position/distance.
Read more about this gauge, how to install and use it, in the readme.txt file included in the package.

| French Air Force Fouga Magister EAM 09.102 Dijon 1994 |
|
File Description:
A repaint of the magnificent freeware Fouga Magister by A. Chancel, J-P Langer, J-P Bourgeois, B. Dube and M. Hardouin which can be downloaded from http://restauravia.com. The aircraft is a true "must" for any FS addict and comes complete with a thorough documentation both in French and in English. This is yet another Dijon aircraft; it is depicted this time near the end of its service life, as flown by EAM 09.102 - as the Communication Flight of BA 102 was then named - during 1994. The fuselage roundels no longer have their usual yellow outer rings, service markings are rather derelict, and despite the painter's efforts the aircraft still shows signs of its earlier assignment with GE 315 in Cognac. Two sets of textures are included featuring two different levels of shine, so you can install whichever you prefer according to your own taste. An alternative layout for the rear 2D panel is provided too. See detailed instructions in the ReadMe.txt.

| Ocean Stations Scenery |
|
File Description:
I've produced this scenery to provide all of the Ocean Stations I know about in the 1950's and 1960's. There is a ship on station (painted in the colors of the USA, UK, France, Norway, and Japan), an NDB to give you a bearing to the ship, a way to contact the ship using voice (you can get your position relative to the ship this way), and a DME for distances further than the limited 30 NM FS ATC gives you (normal communications would reach about 100 NM). You can also get a weather report, and if you are a seaplane you can be cleared to land. If you are a landplane, I guess this would constitute permission to ditch...
I want to give a big thank you to Mitsuya Hamaguchi (hama) for graciously supplying the ship used in this scenery.
This version uses AI ships and is NOT COMPATIBLE with multiplayer - use OceanStationsMP.zip instead
