| Flight Simulator First Officer (FSFO) V3.1 |
|

File Description:
Flight Simulator First Officer V3.1 is a generic copilot designed to work with any aircraft that conform to Xplane (via XPUIPC), FS9, FSX and P3D V3/V4 SDK; in short, it adds a touch of realism while providing a copilot to share cockpit responsibilities. FSFO V3 does not require strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (i.e. scripts), reading lengthy manuals or precise speech. To that end, it can be as complex or simple as you want; for example, FSFO can complete the entire Before Start Checklist, or only those functions you chose not to accomplish. Regardless, he will check every switch to ensure it's placed in the correct position. Just hit connect and fly with confidence that your First Officer is there sharing responsibilities For a list of features, go here: http://flightsimaddons.proboards.com/thread/106/introducing-fsfo-v3.

| Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress #43-97976 "A Bit o' Lace" |
|

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the accu-sim version of the A2A B-17G Flying Fortress. It represents #42-97976 "A Bit o' Lace", which was assigned to the 709th BS /447th BG. The nose art consisted of a cartoon by Milton Caniff. The co-pilot was Lt. John Bauman, a fraternity brother of Milton Caniff. He sent Caniff a detailed idea of the proposed artwork and the sketch was returned with Caniff's annotation: "A Bit-O-Lace for Lt. John H. Bauman, and the rest of the gang, with my best wishes - Milton Caniff NY, Oct. 1944". Nicholas Fingelly, an artist attached to the 709th BS, carried out the work and completed the painting in about six hours and gave Milton Caniff full credit for his his character. Her first crew flew 35 missions over Europe with no injuries, although returning with a good many holes, at times. The closest call was when a piece of shrapnel came up through Navigator's table and "Ike" Eisenhart's arms, but missed him. A surprise souvenir for Ike, which he still has. She flew more missions with different crews, until the april 4, 1945 flight. From the navigator, John Kirkwood: "Right over Kiel, and seconds before the bomb release, I heard the co-pilot say that "This airplane feels funny." Seconds later the tail gunner, who had regained his power of speech, blurted out something to the effect that part of "The tail was gone." A flak shell had gone right through the left horizontal tail, leaving only a partial surface, and completely removing the left elevator.
We dropped out of the formation, and tried to drop the bombs, but the electrical system failed. We flew north a minute or so, the plane now in the hands of the pilot. The pilot did not want to drop over Denmark, so we turned out over sea, and dropped via screwdriver. Actually, we were over Schleswig-Holstein, according to my position, but it was close, and Tom did not want to chance killing danes.
We flew on, at a reduced speed, far out to sea on a west-south-west course with occasional ETA's to the pilot. Several fighters joined us, and finally we got back to the base, and the runway was cleared for us. A decision had to be made by the pilot: To jump or ride her in.. Tom decided that he could land the plane, so we all congregated to the radio room, and that was that.
I might add that none of us had any desire to jump. Most of the photos of 976 were taken after repairs, hence the dark colored rudder and left elevator. As you know, the color prior to the damage was silver. 976 flew one or two missions after that, but I never saw her again, other than in a color photo of the moth-balled fleet in Arizona."
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by A2A.

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LL-E) "Shoo shoo shoo baby" restored |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-35-BO 42-32076, the former "Shoo shoo shoo baby". In 1968, the ancestry of F-BGSH, an old B-17 languishing in derelict state on Creil Airfield in France, was discovered by the Australian aviation historian Steve Birdsall, who notified the USAF museum that this was a combat veteran that had flown operational missions, in contrast to most other surviving B-17's. Following negotiations, the B-17 was donated to the US by the French Government. Interestingly, its Swedish heritage attracted interest from Sweden as well, but nothing came of this. The aircraft was disassembled at Creil and trucked to Frankfurt and flown to the US in 1972, where it arrived, packed in 27 crates. No plans or funds for restoration were present at the time, but in 1977, Mike Leiston, a technician at Dover AFB contacted the museum about the possibility of restoring one of the museum's aircraft by volunteers at Dover AFB. With project approved, 42-32076 was transported to Dover, with the aim of restoring it to a stock wartime B-17G. Upon arrival, Paul McDuffee, who had flown her for 13 missions, was present, and the reunion was clearly an emotional one as he commented "I've just got to go over and kiss her", which he did.
The restoration continued to 1988,and after some 60.000 ma hours, "Shoo shoo shoo baby"took to the skies again for the first time on 11 september. On 14 october 1988, she flew for the last time, to the USAF museum near Dayton, Ohio, where she can still be seen. The main difference with her wartime looks is the fact that she currently sports an olive drab camouflage paint, which was necessary due to all the metal work needed to bring her back to a stock B-17G condition. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

| George Bush N2S-1 Stearman (N50061) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint only, for the payware Vertigo Studios Stearman Vol.1 set. This repaint depicts the restored Stearman N2S-1, N50061, owned/operated by Paul Ehlen and based at the Wings of the North Museum at Flying Cloud Airport, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The aircraft, originally manufactured as U.S. Navy BuNo. 3347, is one of five Stearmans known to still exist that were flown by President George H. W. Bush as a cadet in the Navy. He flew this aircraft while training in the cold Minnesota winter at Wold-Chamberlain Airfield, Naval Air Station Minneapolis (modern-day KMSP), in January and early February 1943. The aircraft was sent to AirCorps Aviation for ground-up restoration in 2014, and emerged in 2015 as one of, if not the most period-authentic restored Stearmans to-date, restored to just as it was in 1943 (no electric starter (only hand-crank start) and no radios of any sort). The aircraft won "Best Stearman" at Oshkosh 2015.

| Baikonur Cosmodrome (UAON) Plus |

File Description:
The scenery includes many airports and locations, including UAON and the Baikonur Cosmodrome where Russia launches all spacecraft. The details are stunning. Some airports are gravel, and some are military use only. I am very sorry to report that the author of this excellant work did not credit himself anywhere within the Russia text document included within this zip file. Google translate pulled only little bits of installation data, but no names. Perhaps he was concerned of prosecution, but I commend him in any case. I do not think any of this is illegal in any way based on today's Google Earth data and our ability to see all the things included within this work. It is truly a beautifully done piece of work, and something I have searched for since scenery were available. It was listed as Freeware without restrictions. This a completely previously unknown scenery compilation found through extensive searches and is original in all respects, designed for FSX.

| Talkeetna Village AK44 in Alaska, home of Don Sheldon's Talkeetna Air Service |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Talkeetna is around 75 miles north of Anchorage in Alaska on the east shore of the Susitna River. The town is where Don Sheldon got off the train in 1938, and where, ten years later, he started Talkeetna Air Services. There are two airfields in Talkeetna, PATK with its long asphalt runway and Talkeetna Village AK44 in the middle of the town. This is AK44; the default FS version with Ultimate Terrain installed had the runway half in the river, but there is still space for the 900 feet of runway that is described in the book "Wager With The Wind" that tells Don's story. The result is a step back in time to 1973, when the second hangar was built. If you also want to install PATK do a search. I have partially populated the village with cabins, and UT is probably required for the river to be there; I haven't tested this without it.

File Description:
Rocca Calascio Abruzzo L'Aquila Italy N42.19.42 E13.41.29 is a fortress located in Abruzzo, in the territory of the municipality of Calascio, at an altitude of 1450 meters s.l.m, just above the village. The foundation of the fortress is probably due to the will of King Ruggero d'Altavilla after the Norman conquest of 1140. The castle, dominating the valley of the Tirino and the plateau of Navelli, not far from the plain of Campo Imperatore, is located on a ridge, in a very favorable position from a defensive point of view and was used as a military observation point in communication with other towers and nearby castles, up to the Adriatic. In 1986 he hosted the cast of the film "The name of the rose", winner of numerous international critics' awards.Important VFR point for approaching airport Aquila Preturo.
Within the downloaded package you will find readme files for scenery installation. Good fly VFR. Pasquale Marrulli.

| EGLC London City Airport And VFR River Thames |
|
File Description:
"I had a lot of fun doing this one. Unable to Terrascene this area because of the "Meridian Line" problem I took it upon myself to Create the River Thames from were Dave Taylors scenery finishes, past EGLC on to the Sea. Adding on my way, buildings, trees and other scenery like Yahts and boats. Also included in the package is some of the towers by Jeff Davis, he made for Fly! I have done a minor repaint of the ships by Biber Salsa, included in this package. Flying down the River Thames from Canary Wharf below 100 ft (tut tut) is great fun in the Bell407, taking about 8 mins. I can see this being the setting for some interesting 'online' races. This put the wonderful program by Allen Kriesman to the test. I didnt think it would cover such a large area, but it did! This whole scenery is Dedicated to Allen Kriesman and his program, Terramodels 2.2"

| Douglas DC-3 Santair |
|
File Description:
Few people realize that Santa Monica Airport, where the venerable Douglas DC-3 first flew on 17th December 1935, was named after Santa Klaus and his wife Monica. The Man In Red was quick to spot the benefits of undertaking his yearly mission in a mode of transportation ideally suited to the task, and was one of Douglas' first customers. "Hallmark Cards and Thomas Kincade can keep their reindeer and chimneys", he declared. "I'm going with Pratt and Whitney. Fuel me up, elf". And so it is today. 70 years later, if you look up into the sky on Christmas Eve ... there's every chance you'll get hit in the eye by a plummeting box, should any of Monica's hand-sewn parachutes fail to open. Based on the default DC-3, with parachute present delivery effect adapted from the work of Pierino Primavesi. Also features Christmas lights on the cabin top. Merry Christmas to all!
