| Piper PA34 Seneca v3.5 |
|
File Description:
FSX Aircraft-Since its introduction in 1971 as the PA-34-200 Seneca I, the aircraft has undergone many changes. In 1975, responding to complaints about the aircraft's handling qualities, Piper introduced the PA-34-200T Seneca II. In 1981, the PA-34-220T Seneca III was introduced. The change in model designation reflects an engine upgrade. After the major upgrades of the Seneca II and III, model revisions were less drastic. In 1994, the "New" Piper company introduced the Seneca IV. This aircraft was much the same as the Seneca III but offered a streamlined engine cowl for increased cruise performance. Finally, in 1998 the Seneca V was released. Again the cowls were redesigned for increased performance, several cockpit switches were relocated from the panel to the headliner and a slightly different engine variant was used, but this aircraft is very similar to the III and IV models. This update from FS9 was created with FSDS2.10 by John B. Loney, Jr.

| 1960 - Delivery flight of Viscount VH-RMK - Omaha to Melbourne, the long way round. |
|
File Description:
This FS2004 (FS9) flight replicates the route taken by Ansett-ANA's Viscount VH-RMK (previously Continental Airlines' N241V) when it was delivered - by an Ansett crew - from Omaha, Nebraska to Essendon airport, Melbourne.
The crew consisted of Cpt. C. Lister (in command), Cpt. D. Bull, First Officer J. Farrell, Navigator W. Kennedy and Flt. Engineer J. Howard.
The flight commenced on the morning of September 17th. 1960 and took 12 days, the route being across the continental United States to Chicago, thence to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, UAR, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines, Indonesia and finally Australia.
You may wonder why they took the "long way round" rather than ferry the aircraft across the Pacific route: very simply, the Viscount did not have the range required to safely transit the distances between the only refuelling points available down through the Pacific Ocean.
A ReadMe with the simple installation instructions and historical information is included.

| SAS McDonnell Douglas Super 80 'Mette Viking' |
|
File Description:
Highly detailed and hand painted repaint of CoolSky's Super 80 in SAS colours, with a Danish registration (OY-KHM), named 'Mette Viking'. I choose to paint this beautifully crafted model even though a SAS livery is supplied with the Super 80. My version looks more like it withstood the sand of time and therefor looks more 'worn' than the shiny livery of Coolsky. I created custom made bump maps for different parts of the fuselage to maximize a realistic look. The rivets that hold together the cockpit windows, the lines on the nose cone and the doors are not 2d flat textures but 3D bump maps that fully utilizes per pixel lightning. All this makes painting for FSX so much more fun than for FS9. These textures are intended for use on the Flight1/CoolSky Super 80 and can be either processed using Flight1's Repaint Manager for FSX or can be installed manually. Fly safe, land safe!

| Italian Air Force, Curtiss S2C-5 'Helldiver' |
|
File Description:
The Curtiss SB2C replaced the Douglas SBD in Nov of 1943, not well received by most Naval Dive Bomber pilots who didn't think it was a fitting replacement for the sturdy reliable and well-liked SBD. It was called the "Son of a Bitch 2nd Class ", "The Beast" and the "Big Assed Bird". All the Italian 'Helldivers' (C-5) were renamed S2 instead SB2 due to the armistice conditions that forbidden Italy to have bombers, for this reason all their bomb-bay were sealed before the delivery.
Textures only for two S2C-5 'Helldivers' of the 86th Gruppo Antisom (Antisubmarine Warfare) of the Aeronautica Militare Italiana (Italian Air Force), Grottaglie Airport (TA), Italy, 1954/55 and one of the Italian Navy (M.M.I. Marina Militare Italiana) during the crews initial training at NAAS Cabaniss Field, Corpus Christi TX, 1951. These textures require the new and beautiful FREEWARE FS9 Curtiss SB2C-4 HELLDIVER by Wolfang 'Wolfi' Faber downloadable at http://www.sim-outhouse.com. Repaint by Manuele Villa.

| Twin Bonanza 3D co-pilot "Panel_V3 " |
|
File Description:
This Panel is for "Eric Dantes" Beechcraft Twin Bonanza "NFL, NHL and all Twinstar__Twin__Bonanza Aircraft Repaints by Chris Tuinstra"
-------------------------------
This V3 panel has to many changes to list.
Main changes:3D PANEL:This Panel_V3 has all the guages and swithces for the co-pilot.
2D PANEL Added 2 manifold pressure guages.Added prop sync,prop deicing and prop boot swithces as well as prop spinner guage.
Resized the ECU panel.(you no longer can see the radios)Just click the ECU icon and presto,you have radios.The rest you'll have to see for yourself.I've kept it simple.It uses all microsoft default swithces and guages so it's completely functional in either FS9 or FSX.
I highly recommend this panel to anyone who has downloaded my twinstar__twin__bonanza.zip,if for no other reason you can now see the guages from outside the aircraft.(see jpg's for before and after screenshots).
This file includes the Panel_V3 and the Texture_V3 Folders and an aircraft.cfg file.

| Beaver DHC-2 Avionics Upgrade for the 2D and VC Panels |
|
File Description:
Having spent significant amounts of time flying in the less-hospitable territories in the FS world such as Alaska and the Canadian Northern Territories, I've grown fond of the more rugged and capable aircraft which operate in these areas. The DHC-2 is the workhorse of the North. Granted, modern times have introduced aircraft with turbo-powered airframes and all sorts of electronic gadgetry to enhance airborne capabilities, but I cannot think of a single plane flying in these areas today which could fly safely with zero batteries and fuel.
The DHC-2 is a rock, and it was for this reason that I found it both fit and suitable to upgrade the already-included Bendix/King suite with a 2-axis autopilot, a fuel burn status gauge (worth its weight in gold in Alaska and Canada), and a red-light nighttime digital OAT gauge. REQUIRES THE AEROSOFT BEAVER DHC-2 FOR FS2004/FS9.

|
File Description:
This is a DXT3 photoreal repaint of the Wilco A320 IAE Airbus that comes with the payware Wilco Airbus collection, Vol 1, Deluxe Edition.This repaint is based on the real life A320 IAE XL Airways Germany, registration number D-AXLA. Just XL Airways Germany and France still operating. Wilco Feelthere Vol 1, Deluxe Edition 320 IAE is necessary to use this Repaint. Livery works with FS9. FSX are not tested. Hope you enjoy my first repaint contribution! Comments are welcome.
****NOTE:
XL-Airways-Germany and exactly the rePaint I made (D-AXLA), never existed in real-life.
This Aircraft crashed on 27.Nov.08 on a post-maintenance test flight into the Mediterranean Sea east of the French city of Perpignan, The aircraft was leased to XL Airways Germany by Air New Zealand, and had been repainted with Air New Zealand's livery in preparation for its return to Air New Zealand the following week.
I will be creating a new repaint for this aircraft in the future.****

| EBOS Oostende/Brugge International Airport, Ostend, Belgium (includes modified twy signs!) |
|
File Description:
These files are for the FS9 default. The "AF2_EBOS_DF.BGL" file is based on the Microsoft Virtual Earth aerial photography (via "Flash Earth"). It is an extensive modification of a file by Jean-Philippe Delwiche (merci Monsieur!). The "EBOS_twy_signs.BGL" file corrects the taxiway sign positions and content, and the exclude files prevent any default scenery from obstructing the airfield. Because I like the interesting variation and "East meets West" feel of the Oostende traffic, I like to pass through once in a while. Therefore, it is important to me that the layout is at least proportionally genuine, and a better reflection of reality than the default.
My thanks to Jean-Philippe Delwiche (aka JeePee) for his kind permission for my use of his work.
Also, thanks to Jan Martin for his guide to taxiway sign editing, which I hope I have used to good effect.
This release complements my Air Charter Express and MK Airlines flightplans well.

| Beaverton CBV2 and Beaverton North fields near Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada |
|
File Description:
The town of Beaverton is on the east shore of Lake Simcoe. Just a bit over three miles to the east of the town is Beaverton airfield CBV2, with a grass runway 12/30 that appears to be 2,100 feet long, rather than the listed 2,400 feet. The field is new enough to be omitted from FS9, and though there are plans to build hangars I don't know if anything has been built in the year since I last saw it, so the only buildings here are farm-related. The second field to the northwest is Beaverton North, which is privately owned. It has 2,000 feet or so of grass runway and a large hangar (or storage shed?) and that about sums up all I know about it. There are two airfield scenery folders, two landclass files to provide the grass airfield areas, and a third landclass folder that modifies the terrain around Beaverton CBV2.

| 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.
