File Description:
This sequel to the 2009 Kigali Intl (HRYR) Rwanda scenery (by Jacques Botha and Frits Beyer) brings it up to date with the current layout and enables full compliance with FTX Global/Vector and FSX. Buildings are added and adjusted to their real-world locations, and the new taxiway and south apron are added according to the May 2016 satellite imagery. In addition to real-world gate locations, custom apron markings are added along with apron lighting. The landclass around Kigali is also updated, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh is included. This scenery can be complemented by the Goma (FZNA) and Gisenyi (HRYG) scenery (FSX_FZNA-HRYG_CS.zip), and GA flightplans are included to supplement the commercial traffic at Kigali and provide more activity at FZNA and HRYG.
Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the set created by Jim Dhaenens.

| ENHV - Honningsvag-Valan - Honningsvag, Norway |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
ENHV is the most northern airport in Europe (self-promotion of the airport). It it situated on a promontory 46 feet above the sea a few miles southeast of the Nordkap.
This scenery is not a stand-alone-scenery. It is an update of the Airports of Norway (AoN) where ENHV is already included. So AoN has to be installed first to see the buildings and the objects on this airport.
In addition the Nordkap is included with the rock, the museum and the viewing point.
AON you can download here:
http://www.flightsimnorway.com/addons/default.php?funct=dl&pack=aon
Also recommended is to install are the corresponding Photo sceneries AoN Phatopack 1 + 2:
http://www.flightsimnorway.com/addons/default.php?funct=dl&pack=aon
There are some errors corrected In ENHV that occur in the AoN:
1. The altitude is adjusted to the correct height of 46 feet.
2. The sea is where it should be.
3. The land classes are partially adjusted.
4. The town of Honningsvag is involved.
5. The Northern Cape is included, but can be installed separately.

| FSX2FS9 Converts FSX Airport Files for Use in FS9 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
FSX2FS9 is a utility based on the ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine. It allows users to convert Airport Files designed for FSX for use in FS9. The program provides user control over the conversion process including selection of elements to be removed prior to conversion, handling of vehicle path networks and handling of those items in the FSX file which would cause the FS9 compiler to fail. The user also has the choice of whether to allow the program to automatically fix and faults found or to use the built in fault finder for more control. The program uses the Microsoft FS9 Compiler (included) to generate the FS9 Bgl file. The XML source is also available.
Please note that while airports converted with this program should work in FS9 there are a lot of variables and we recommend that the converted Bgl be opened in an Airport Facilities Editor (such as AFCAD, AFX or ADE) for further processing to ensure a satisfactory result.
This program is still a beta and users should use it in that light and make sure that valuable files are back up in a safe place. Please read the enclosed operating notes before using this program.

| Active ILS - KATL (Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta Intl Airport) |
|
File Description:
Many know that KATL was not updated in FSX do to the airport data cutoff date. KATL now has the new Runway 10/28 but there are many additions added which are to numerous for listing here. Several key changes are all 5 parallel runways are ATC controlled Arrival runways for both the User and AI Plane Traffic. All Gates and Parking Spots have been updated so AI Airline Planes including Cargo, Commuter, and Corporate GA park in the correct places. New Approach code including the 5 new STAR's, RNAV (gps overlay's), many new Transitions and correct Runway data as per current Jeppesen Charts (freeware charts included). Many features have also been fixed such as Jetways that moved the wrong way, recoding the ILS CAT II Runway 28 frequency, updating KLZU ILS Runway 25 frequency, many scenery GUID's to support KATL based on how it looks today and additional ground support tracks that go to many more places including all Cargo Stands. Read the included Whats New Readme txt file for all the enhancements and how I coded ATC to use all 5 parallel runways for arrival vectors to decrease the go around issues at large airports.

| Hewanorra TLPL on Saint Lucia in the eastern Caribbean |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Lucia island is to the north of the Grenadines, between Martinique and Saint Vincent. St Lucia is nearly 30 miles long and has a population of 175,000, with two airports. Hewanorra International is at the southern end of the island, the end furthest from the capital, Castries. The reason for this is that at the southern end it was possible to build a runway almost 9,000 feet long, while the airport in the north (Vigie) could not be extended further to accomodate the largest jets. The airport was originally a USAAF base, converted to commercial use.
All buildings are made with photographic textures and include the new terminal and a new control tower. The apron has been extended so that 747's etc can be accommodated, and there are regular international flights by Virgin, BA, Air Canada, Air France, etc and local connecting flights by LIAT; the AI includes both major international airlines and LIAT. The towns around the airport (Vieux Fort etc) are included here: the scenery is based on the "Lesser Antilles Mesh" which is required and can be downloaded for free.

| Airfield Lights Toolbox (AFLT) |
|
File Description:
Airfield Lights Toolbox (or AFLT for short) is a comprehensive utility for the creation of standard airfield lights and light arrays for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Prepare3D v1.4 (collectively referred to as "FlightSim") airports. AFLT includes 3D models for the usual airfield light fixtures (runway/taxiway edge and centerline lights, runway threshold/end split lights, obstruction lights and beacons, PAPI/VASIs, wigwags and various approach light configurations) from which you should be able to create just about any airfield light arrangement. AFLT generates complete approach and threshold light arrays (including strobes) based on simple text configuration files. As well, pilot-control of airfield lighting is fully implemented.
The light sources in AFLT's light models are BGL_LIGHTs. Unfortunately, P3D Version 2 does not (yet) support BGL_LIGHTs and does not provide any alternative. (We had hoped that v2.1 would have fixed this, but "no joy". Hopefully, Lockheed Martin will see fit to rectify this deficiency.) Consequently, AFLT is only "P3Dv2-ready".
ALFT is not a library of airfield lights; it is a utility for creating object libraries and light arrays. A general knowledge of FlightSim scenery file organization and airport design is necessary for its use.

File Description:
Here's another Dash-8 especially for the Icelandic simmers out there or those who prefer the challenge of simming the skies and airports of the northernmost latitudes. This is one of two (2) Dash 8-106's flown by Air Iceland (Icelandic: Flugfelag Islands) and bears registration TF-JMB. Flugfelag Islands, a subsidiary of Icelandair Group, is a regional airline with bases at Reykjavik Airport and Akureyri Airport. It operates scheduled service to destinations in Iceland and Greenland, as well as the Faroe Islands. I want to give due credit to and thank Elmar Voigt, who inspired this project and repaint and worked with me to get every detail of it as realistic as possible. Some of those details include the text 'flugfelag.is' on the bottom of the fuselage (just like the real aircraft) and a tug painted in Air Iceland/Flugfelag Islands colors with their logo on the doors. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mips for maximum quality. This is a textures only package; you must have the Dreamwings Design Dash8 Q-100 model available here at AVSIM.

| ORBI - Baghdad Intl Airport - Baghdad, Iraq |

File Description:
ORBI - Baghdad International Airport, Baghdad, Iraq
Slowly but surely the Baghdad international airport comes back to life. Although the airport is quite large, it is not yet used to its maximum. Some aprons still have no real use and thus are empty. Apron V, the presidential apron, is still present but might have been restructured by now.
Airlines like Austrian, Emirates, Etihad, Royal Jordanian and FlyDubai offer regular services to Baghdad.
Using ADEx 1.51 and the IRAQ AIP this AFCAD updates the default airport to what it is now on paper. Google Earth�´s images are too old to offer any help regarding buildings, vegetation and surrounding areas like offices, parkings, roads and apron V.
Gatenumbers have been updated, taxiways added and renamed, ILS 15R/33L has been removed, the military area is more detailed, taxiways are correctly sized and the overall quality of the airport increased.
For those interested, the complete IRAQ AIP is attached. It not only gives complete information about several Iraqi airports, it also holds approach plates of most of them. You will also find plates for ORSU, for which an AFCAD has been uploaded separately.

| QuickPlan for Windows |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
QuickPlan for Windows is a visual point and click flight planner that makes it easy to generate flight plans in native FSX, FS2004 or X-Plane formats.
The entire route is generated visually, by tapping the map to add the departure airport, intermediate waypoints and arrival airport in the same order that you intend flying the plan.
During plan creation and after adding the final arrival waypoint you also have the opportunity to remove any of the intermediate waypoints before saving the plan in your preferred format.
QuickPlan utilises a new mapping engine and includes 12 world-wide map styles and has support for FSWidgets Cloud Based Aero Charts (free Cuba/Puerto Rico WAC Cloud Based Chart included) and FSWidgets Cloud Based World Nav Data (Free KSFO - San Francisco Bay area Nav Data included).
QuickPlan can be used in Freeform Mode, Advanced Mode, or a combination of both.
FREEFORM MODE: Simply click anywhere on the map and QuickPlan will allow you to add it as a generic waypoint. VFR pilots often use towns, lakes and other unique geographic features and with QuickPlan you can add any geographical location shown on the base map. Plans created this way label the waypoints automatically with generic names (e.g. DEP, WP1, WP2, ARR).
If desired, the entire route from departure to arrival can be created without reference to any navigational aids or official airports. This is handy for bush pilots who often use unlicensed airfields and small landing strips (or seaplane landing areas). Helicopter pilots can also quickly create plans that depart from off-airport locations like building rooftops or land on a road.
ADVANCED MODE: If you own the FSWidgets Cloud Based World Nav Data product you can create more advanced flight plans by clicking on any of the icons displayed on the map to add them as waypoints - airports, VOR's, NDB's and intersections (data for the KSFO area is included free). Plans created this way label the waypoints automatically with airport and navigational aid identifiers taken from the Nav Data (e.g. KSFO, OSI, LV, FABLA). FEATURE LIST:
- Generates native FSX (.pln), FS2004 (.pln) and X-Plane (.fms) format flight plans
- Saves flight plans to any folder (preferred folder set in Preferences)
- Search for airport by ICAO identifier
- Map powered by CloudMade Leaflet API (using OpenStreetMap data)
- Includes 12 world-wide maps styles
- Supports FSWidgets Cloud Based AERO CHARTS
- Free Cuba/Puerto Rico WAC Cloud Based Chart included
- Supports FSWidgets Cloud Based WORLD NAV DATA
- Free KSFO (San Francisco Bay) area Nav Data included
- World-wide Metar and TAF Data icons
- US Nexrad (Next-Gen Radar) Data
