| RAF Keevil |
|
File Description:
The airfield was built on a site previously ear-marked for the purpose in the mid-1930s. Consisting of 3 long concrete
runways the airfield was used by the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces Eighth and Ninth Air
Forces.
In 1942 Keevil airfield was provided to the USAAF and it was assigned USAAF designation 471 (KV). Squadrons based at
the unit transported military freight and supplies using C-47 and C-53 aircraft.
RAF Fighter Command use
Short Stirlings of Nos. 196 and 299 Squadrons RAF lining the runway at RAF Keevil on the evening of 5 June 1944 before
emplaning paratroops of the 5th Parachute Brigade Group for the invasion of Normandy With the departure of the
Americans, the RAF used Keevil beginning in March 1944 for 196 and 299 Squadron Short Stirling glider tugs of No. 38
Group RAF arrived followed by a large number of Horsa gliders, crewed by Army pilots of the Glider Pilot Regiment.
The RAF Stirling aircraft were crewed by RAF, RCAF, RAAF, RNZAF and SAAF personnel and were engaged in SOE and SAS
drops. largely in France, and in glider towing. Their involvement in the Normandy invasion of France and Operation
Market-Garden is well remembered by Keevil and Steeple Ashton villagers. Casualties of army and air force personnel
were heavy and a number of aircraft were lost.
With the end of military control, Keevil airfield is virtually complete with all of its runways, perimeter track and
many of the hardstands still in place. It is used occasionally for British Army and RAF exercises. The airfield is
still frequently used by the RAF for training purposes such as air drops and parachuting, the gate is always locked
and access is restricted to authorized key holders only. Ref ~ http://www.wdrcfc.org.uk/wp/about-2/clubrules/
Since 1992 it has been home to the Bannerdown Gliding Club, an RAF Gliding and Soaring Association Club, affiliated to
RAF Brize Norton since the closure of nearby RAF station at Lyneham. The airfield is also used as a motorsport circuit
for various events. It is also the home of the Warminster and District Radio Control flying club.
In September 1994 the Keevil Society, organised by Paul Vingoe, held a Commemorative Day to mark the 50th anniversary
of the D-Day and Arnhem operations and to dedicate a memorial to all who served at Keevil, especially those who flew
from there and lost their lives.

File Description:
Lasham (EGHL)
Scenery for FS2002, Includes AFCAD file and static Aircraft.
Created by Mathias Henig (http://www.spotter.de.vu).
Lasham is an airfield which was built by the Royal Air Force to train its pilots there during WWII. After the RAF left the field Dan Air London choose Lasham as their place for the maintenance and so Lasham saw many interesting aircraft (Comet, BAC 1-11, ...). With the demise of Dan Air the maintenance facilities were sold to ATC which now does maintenance for the following types:
Boeing 727-100/200
Boeing 737-200/300/400/500/600/700/800
Boeing 757-200
McDonnell Douglas DC 8-55/60
More information about ATC Lasham can be found under: http://www.atclasham.co.uk
Not to forget the Lasham Glider Society which is also located at the field.

| A.V.I.A. L.3 (Part 2) Closed Cockpit Version |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The L.3 was a partially failed attempt to create a very simple and cheap monoplane trainer, better suited to the entire basic training syllabus of Regia Aronautica pilots from 1940 onwards. This closed cockpit version, initially conceived for civil use, was used also by the Croatian Air Force, the Luftwaffe and by the A.N.R. (for assault glider pilot training also). Some also served as 'unit hacks' during WW2.
This release (Part 2) provides a closed cockpit MDL in many relevant liveries. It also works (Tested) subject to some limitations within in FSX.
A.V.I.A. L.3 (Part 1) (L3_v01-OPEN_COCKPIT.ZIP) MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PART 2.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
The ARX-1 is a single seat sailplane concept in both unpowered (A model) and powered versions (B model). Both glider models make use of the variometer to detect thermals for soaring in FSX. The Concept 1 was our first concept plane, released in 2000 for FS7. The ARX-1 was originally designed after RC gliders, with basic technology from the default FS2000 Schweizer. So it does not have negative flaps, water ballast, or retractable gear. As our first Concept, it is purposely built to be incredibly simple, reliable, docile, and mildy aerobatic and features a forward fuselage and cockpit section identical to it's much smaller and faster cousin, the ARX-6 Formula One pylon air racer. This package includes 11 aircraft in 2 different models with 12 schemes. By Jason L. Terry and Brady Duros.

| GSPIN Rotating Space Station |
|
File Description:
The station consists of a habitat (9 ton) at the end of a 50 m wire, and a centre service module (6 ton) with a docking port, solar panels and a heat radiator. These two elements are connected by an inflated tunnel.
The assembly was launched on a Delta 4 Heavy. The burnt-out upper stage is the counter weight (6 ton) at the end of 75 m long wires.
The rotational speed is 2.5 rpm, resulting in a artificial gravity of 3.4 m/s², about 1/3 of earth gravity. This rotation is well within the 'convenience limit' of about 3 rpm. The effects of preventing bone degradation of the astronauts on long space travels shall be studied aboard this station.
A spacecraft with a centre-line docking port (like the Delta Glider or the CEV) is required for docking.

| LFMA - Aix les Milles |
|
File Description:
Welcome to Aix Les Milles Airport.
Situated in the south coast of France, only few miles North East of Marignane (Marseille Provence - LFML). This is a great option for all G.A aircrafts to visit as well as Helicopters/Medical with their own base and it's even large enough to welcome the famous Alphajets from the "Patrouille de France".:)
The airport is used by those who wants to spend a great week end in the very well known city called Aix En provence and discover the beauty of Provence.
I have enhanced the entire airport with all buildings, proper taxi marking of aprons, taxisigns, Glider area/parking lot, Heli area including the medical one, replaced the tower at its own place, a military parking for the Alpha jets (Novembre West apron) and added...the LFMA VFR chart!!!
Enjoy!

File Description: For ORBX England only.
This is a departure for me. away from Appalachia across the pond to Merry
England. This will be the first in a small series of English Glider fields, and
WW2 airfields.
All buildings are made using sketchup. These are exactly sized as all original
buildings and properly located. Improved the area around Hangars.
Sutton Bank, also known as Roulston Scar, is a hill in the Hambleton District of
North Yorkshire in England. The Yorkshire Gliding Club is based at the top of
the hill. A popular slope soaring site since the 1930's, it now is a major site
for aerotowing as well as winch launching sailplanes.
This scenery will appear nicely in the stock FSX, BUT, the field will not be
very flat, use at your own discretion.

| Rolladen-Schneider LS-4 |
|
File Description:
This upload is one of the results of my efforts to get AI-glider traffic into FS2004.
Included are an AI-version with two textures of the Rolladen-Schneider LS-4 for flights from airfield A to airfield B, and another AI-version of the Rolladen-Schneider LS-4, tweaked in a way that it will take off from airfield A, climb while circling and then keeps endlessly circling to a max altitude of around 3000ft ASL in the surrounding of the airfield.
Credits go to Wolfgang Piper for his excellent gliders which inspired me to start experimenting with AI-gliders and for giving me permission to rebuild his gliders to AI-versions.
For other examples of his excellent gliders, visit his site http://www.fsglider.de.
Also credits go to Alan Kaiser for the stemme.air, which I used to make the AI-versions for the LS-4.
