| Republic P-47D-25 86th FG (11) "Miss Tennessee / Stump Lifter" |
|

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the P_47D-25 Bubbletop by Aeroplane Heaven, in the colors of P-47D-25-RA 42-8601 #11 "Stump Lifter", as flown by Lt Benny Flake of the 525th FS, 86th FG. The painting on the left hand side was of a moviestar, Marilyn Maxwell, with the name "Miss Tennessee". The name 'Stump Lifter' on the right side stems from that fact that one of Lt Flakes friends, Lt. Riley Stewart said that his bombs never hit their target and that all he ever saw during sorties with Lt Flake were large tree stumps flying through the air. Lt. Stewart paid the squadron's artist to put the "stump lifter" art on Lt Flake's cowling without his permission, but he came to like it over time. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Aeroplane Heaven.

| 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.

| 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).

| 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.

| 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.

| Val-U-Prop VA: Ernest K. Gann's 1939 Route |
|
File Description:
Taken from the pages of "Fate is the Hunter" this is Route AM-21 that Ernest K. Gann flew as a co-pilot and pilot in DC-2's and DC-3's in 1938-1940. Included are FS2002 ATC Flight Planner legs for the flight, as well as a text file with all headings, NAVAIDS, approaches and some life-saving tips for flying the route in bad weather. This can be used in any version of FS. Can be flown ATC or as a VOR flight with ILS's, or even as an NDB-only flight in keeping with the period. This is a multi-stop flight: Newark to Wilkes-Barre; to Syracuse; to Rochester; Buffalo; Erie, and finally to Cleveland. Each leg has a separate Flight Planner leg. An official Val-U-Prop VA flight.

| 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." :)

| MULTIPLE FS9.EXE: do it yourself! NO TOOL! |
|
File Description:
Hi friends,
Some sceneries request TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL = 19, some 20 or 21….
Others work better with UNLIMITED FRAMERATE, some work only with frames limited to 24, 25 or whatever fps….
Some Photorealistic sceneries will get blurry when using EXTENDED TEXTURES, others no….
Some aircrafts have a specific joystick configuration; others like helicopters will have a completely different one….
I was personally fed up with spending time tweaking this poor FS9.cfg file, having thousands of different copies in my computer when I just observed that Microsoft offers us a very
easy way to build several FS9.exe, one for each configuration.
So now I have on my desktop several FS9 icons, each one is loading FS with its specific config
Very cool, really and so easy to do!!!.
Do you want to know how to do that in 2 minutes?
So follow me!

| Dublin Airport Tower |
|
File Description:
For use with IFSD Dublin scenery only.
Over the last year I have constantly moved my tower view in FS at EIDW for positions in and around the airport I normally spot at. This AFCAD2 file now has the tower at the right spot and right height in the IFSD scenery so when you watch the planes taxi to runway 2-8, you will actually get the feeling of looking out of the control tower due to seeing the actual window frames from the IFSD scenery in the tower.
I have also added parking for the American 767 that now flies into Dublin to O'Hare and dedicated parking for any Virgin Heavies at the back of the FLS Aerospace Hangers. Also I have added medium size gates to Pier A where sometime 767's and A330's park.

| 82nd Airborne FX - Desert Camo |
|
File Description:
By request, this FX is for my friends in the Army Airborne and those serving over in Iraq.
These FX files allow you to drop a number of camouflaged paratroopers from the DC-3, JU-52, DeHaviland Otter, and now the C-130. Editing the included text insert (door location) for the aircraft.cfg file will allow them to jump from any other plane of your choosing as well.
I no longer have FS2002 so was unable to test this with that FS version.
I wish to thank Mr. Pierino Primavesi for his kind permission in allowing me to modify the FX files he made for his Luftwaffe version of the JU-52. Visit his site at: http://www.ju52-3m.ch/ for more of the latest updates for the Junkers JU-52. Payware quality for free. You can't go wrong.
