File Description:
It was the most important Italian bomber of World War II, this tough three-engined aircraft established a reputation that contrasted with most Italian weapons of the day, and it was flown with courage and skill. SM.79s served widely in the normal bombing role, but it is as a land-based torpedo bomber that the type deserves its place in military aviation history, being regarded by many as one of the finest torpedo bombers of the war. In spite of its cumbersome appearance and outdated construction, with an internal provision for 2,750 lb (1,250 kg) of bombs, supplemented by under fuselage rack for a torpedo, the S.M.79 was a rugged, reliable multi-role medium bomber which did quite a bit of damage in the face of heavy opposition. About 1,300 production models were built over a nine year period. The SM.79 had a distinctive 'hump' on the upper forward fuselage, which housed both the fixed forward-firing heavy machine-gun and the dorsal gunner's position. Its appearance earned the aircraft the nickname 'Gobbo Maledetto' ('Damned Hunchback'). During the last phases of the war the surviving SM.79s were converted into various versions of utility transports and used in that role until 1952.
This "Service Pack" contains:
-4 UPGRADED + 1 NEW Hi-Res GMax models (5 different versions) feature the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, props pitch and leading edge flaps.
-Eleven (11) different liveries (6 R.A., 1 A.N.R., 1 I.C.A.F., 1 Post-war A.M.I., 2 Spanish Nationalist Air Force).
-Revised SM.79M CFG & AIR files, New SM.79Bis CFG & AIR files
-Revised Sounds, Gauges & Effects
VC only. This plane was developed for FS9, but it works (it seems without problems) either in FSX. Created by Manuele Villa & ItalianWings, February 2008. Installation instructions included.

File Description:
Eight years after the first scene the group of Greek airports Project invites you to travel in Thessaloniki which marked the route of the group in the area of Flight Simulator. The scene following the design of our philosophy which allows the simmer to enjoy a full scene without getting tired to find solutions which have to do with settings, yields etc, without unnecessary construction that nobody ever sees and which only need to create a commercial impression in some photos. Objects reconstructed with Gmax and 3dmax that make you enjoy your virtual trip to the airport, and not only because this time we have also included many points from the beautiful city of Thessaloniki as for example the known White Tower, the Aristotelous Square, the facilities of the Thessaloniki International Fair, the football stadiums of the best known groups, the opera house, the City Hall, and many others in a separate scenery (THESSALONIKI_VFR ) included in this version which you are not obliged to install but in our opinion will give you a different sensation in your approach to Macedonia airport. The THESSALONIKI_VFR also combined with the very good photoreal from Antonis Gikas state of GAP "Hellenic Actual Scenery" and with any other photoreal is circulated to the region. This photoreal version is currently for FS9 but very soon will follow and the version for FSX, P3DV1/P3DV2. Retained many of the features of the previous version as the transparent windows which give different feel on the inside part of the terminal, and replaced with different modern way. Of course for the FSX version corrected all non-compliant issues from FS9 - FSX. Enjoy free your flight for the magnificent Thessaloniki, in Greece, in Macedonia.

| P-47D 334th FS "Miss Plainfield" |
|
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47C 42-7945 flown by Lieutenant Spiros 'the Greek' Pisanos of the 334th FS, 4th FG, Finschhafen, New Guinea, 1944. Born in Athens, Greece, in the suburb of Kolonos, on 10 November 1919, Spiros Nicholas "Steve" Pisanos, the son of a subway motorman, came to America in April 1938, as a crew member on a Greek Merchant ship. Arriving in Baltimore, Maryland and unable to speak English, Steve found his way to New York City, where he worked in bakeries and restaurants. As he earned money he started flying lessons at Floyd Bennett Field. In August 1940, he setled i Plainfield, New Jersey, his adopted home town, and continued flying lessons at Westfield Airport. He earned a private pilot's license and, although still a Greek national, in October 1941 he joined the British Royal Air Force sponsored by the Clayton Knight Committee in New York City.
Steve began his military flight training at Polaris Flight Academy in Glendale, California. Upon graduation, Pilot Officer Pisanos was transferred to England where he completed RAF Officers Training School at Cosford, England and OTU (Operational Training Unit) at Old Sarum Aerodrome in Salisbury. Pilot Officer Pisanos was posted to the 268 Fighter Squadron at Snailwell Aerodrome in Newmarket flying P-51A's. He later transferred to the 71 Eagle Squadron, one of the three Eagle squadrons in the RAF, comprised of American volunteers flyin Spitfires at Debden RAF Aerodrome.
When the USAAF 4th Fighter Group absorbed the American members of the Eagle Squadrons in September and October 1942, Pilot Officer Pisanos was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces. On 3 May 1943, Lt. Pisanos was naturalized as an American citizen in London, England, becoming the first individual in American history to be naturalized outside the Continental United States.
Flying his first mission in his P-47 "Miss Plainfield" out of Debden Aerodrome with the 334th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, Lt. Pisanos, "The Flying Greek," scored his first victory on 21 May 1943, when he downed a German FW-190 over Ghent, Belgium. by 1 January 1944 he had become an ace with five confirmed victories. On 5 March 1944, he obtained his 10th victory and while returning from that B-17 escort mission to Limoges and Bordeaux, France, Steve experienced engine failure in his P-51B and crash-landed south of Le Havre. For six months he evaded the Germans and worked with the French Resistance and the American OSS sabotaging the German war machine in occupied France. Lt. Pisanos returned to England on 2 September 1944, following the liberation of Paris.
Upon returning to the United States, Captain Pisanos was assigned to the Flight Test Division at Wright Field, Ohio. He attended the USAF Test Pilot School and subsequently served as a test pilot at Wright Field and Muroc Lake, California, testing the YP-80 jet aircraft. During his career in the USAF, Steve graduated from the University of Maryland, attended the Air Command and Staff College and the Air War College. In December 1973, after a distinguished thirty years of service in the United States Air Force, he retired with the rank of Colonel. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney

File Description:
Re-upload following Avsim hack. Quoting from Wikipedia: "The Yakovlev Yak-52 is a Soviet primary trainer aircraft. It first flew in 1976 and is still being produced in Romania, by Aerostar, they gained manufacturing rights under agreement within COMECON socialist trade organisation now defunct. The Yak-52 was designed originally as an aerobatic trainer for students in the Soviet DOSAAF training organisation. That organisation trained both civilian sport pilots and military pilots.
Since the early 1990s and the fall of the Soviet Union, many Yak 52s have been exported to the west. Of the approximately 1,800 produced to date, most now fly in the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and other western countries.
A descendant of the single-seat competition aerobatic Yakovlev Yak-50, the all-metal Yak-52 is powered by a 360 hp, 9-cylinder radial engine, the Vedeneyev M14P. The aircraft has inverted fuel and oil systems permitting inverted flight for as long as two minutes. The engine drives a two-bladed counter-clockwise rotating, constant-speed, wood and fiberglass laminate propeller.
The tricycle landing gear is fully retractable, but it remains partially-exposed in the retracted position, affording both a useful level of drag in down manoeuvres and a measure of protection should the plane be forced to land "wheels up." Curiously the main wheels retract forward into the slipstream."
It has has been constructed using Gmax v1.2. The aircraft is constructed with as few polygons as possible and with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. The model has six LODs.
As usual, I have made three different textures for the aircraft. These are accurate textures which also includes the actual registration number of the aircraft as this seems to be what many desire to have.
It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Markus Brunner . It is also very flyable as a normal aircraft.

| Ansaldo S.V.A.-5 (V.01) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
One of the faster airplane of WWI thanks to an innovative design, the S.V.A. was the first airplane conceived and built entirely in Italy. The initials "S.V.A." stand for the names of Savoia and Verduzio, the two engineers that designed it, and of Ansaldo, the firm that built over 2000 of them starting from 1917. The Ansaldo S.V.A. was an entire family of Italian reconnaissance biplane aircraft of World War I and the decade after. Originally conceived as a fighter, the S.V.A. was found inadequate for that role. Nevertheless, its impressive speed, range and operational ceiling made it an excellent reconnaissance aircraft and even light bomber.
The S.V.A. became legendary among pilots for some of its memorable flights; first, above all, the one over Vienna: this flight was an epic action performed by Italian poet and nationalist patriot Gabriele D'Annunzio on 9th August 1918. After the war, thanks to the strong determination of Arturo Ferrarin and Guido Masiero( the pilots), two S.V.A.9s (the two seater version of the S.V.A.-5) flew for 18000Km from Rome to Tokyo (14th February / 31st May 1920). Another S.V.A., piloted by Antonio Locatelli, first flew alone across the Andes (30th July 1919).
Production of the aircraft continued well after the war, with the final examples delivered in 1928. In 1919 some S.V.A.s were used in airmail routes by "Gruppo Sperimentale Comunicazioni Aeree", a group formed by the Italian Army in order to prove the feasibility of commercial air services. The Regia Aeronautica (Royal Italian Air Force, since 1923) employed the S.V.A. in operational units in Italy and North Africa (Lybia) as well as for pilot training. Many war-surplus planes were employed by commercial flying schools.
Complete aircraft, 5 Different Hi-Res GMax models (5 different versions, three S.V.A.-5 and two S.V.A.-9), features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls. Five different liveries (three WWI and two post-war). VC and 2D Panel. Models, panels and paints by Manuele Villa, Flight dynamics, Handling notes and tutorials by FSAviator.
September 2008. Installation instructions included.

File Description:
Steamship sailing, GMax model with photo real textures and panel with exterior views.
The History: Born with the name of "Savoia" this steamer was placed in the yard June 7, 1926 by the Odero's workers at the construction site of Dervio, and in a very short time, triumphantly launched July 31, 1926 first in the waters of Dervio , to start shipping in the Como Lake.
Soon after this launch, the site was put on the twin " October 28 ", which later became the "Concordia". In December 1926, the " Savoia " incorporates a major change : the distribution system of the machine new one "Caprotti" type that has excellent results and is , up to date, the only example in the world (reduction of rolling steam). In May 1927, the " Savoia " has the honor to welcome on board the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III , escorted by the steamers " October 28" and " Plinio". During World War II , following the fall of the fascist regime , July 25, 1943 , is required to change the name of the steamer. Even public opinion is mobilized and decide to rename the steamer by the name of "PATRIA". At the same time the twin " October 28 " is renamed "Concordia". Back after a break in service , January 10, 1945 is attacked and strafed while browsing the center of the lake . At the end of was counted 5 victims and 17 injured of which one will die as a result. At the height of the bridge spread of a fire, for piercing and incendiary bullets used by the Anglo-Americans, but soon subdued by the crew. In June 1951, the PATRIA is back in service with some modifications. The smokestack is shortened to about 3 mts and boilers and burners are converted from coal to oil. In August 1952, the boat service on the lake shift from "Lariana " to Government Management, which taken the steamer. In 1973 the interior of the " Patria" is restored according to the original scheme: the magnificent ship back into service June 10, 1973.
Great new features are the stained glass windows in the inner surface that allow you to see the paddle wheels in motion. In the 80s the PATRIA is used mainly for special cruises and rentals, limiting the use of the line. The summer of 1990 is the last one that sees the "PATRIA" in service. In the fall it is stopped at the construction site of Tavernola, later transferred to Dervio where it remains moored for years waiting to know his fate ... between demolition or renovation (this strongly desired by the Lariana population). Finally in 2003, the Province of Como takes the field by engaging in the recovery of the steamer, with PATRIA's historic "friends" of "Famiglia Comasca"; February 27, 2004 the remains of the steamer is formally sold to the Province of Como in the symbolic figure of " 1 Euro". After a series of bureaucratic delays, in August 2008 is finally contracted the first batch of works and the renovation starts. On 8 May 2013, PATRIA comes to Dervio for a short cruise, and for testing stability on the lake, and received a "Certificate of Class" that officially renames it as a ship. After 23 years it is the first time that the PATRIA sails again, since 1990, the year of its disarmament. The inauguration takes place July 19, 2013, at Villa Olmo in Como present authorities, proponents of the huge recovery and many other enthusiasts ... as me. Enjoy.
