Avro York (Base Package) Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Re-upload. Used variously as a long-range freighter and/or passenger airliner, the York was designed around the wings, engines, undercarriage, and tail assembly of the Lancaster bomber, adding a box-shaped fuselage and a center fin. Of a total of 253 production aircraft built, 208 initially went to the RAF, 25 to BOAC, 12 to BSAA, and 5 to FAMA (Flota Area Mercante Argentina). Specially fitted VIP versions were used by Winston Churchill and General de Gaulle. After completing 29,000 sorties in the Berlin Airlift of 1948-9, many RAF Yorks were sold to charter operators such as Aviation Traders, Dan Air, Hunting Clan, Lancashire Aircraft Corporation, and Skyways of London. Some of these re-acquired RAF roundels for "trooping flights" to the Middle East in the 1950s. From 1955 onward, the Yorks were gradually withdrawn, although some soldiered on until 1964. Two such veterans have been preserved as museum exhibits in Duxford and Cosford in the UK. Gmax exterior model and textures by Manfred Jahn, FDE by Paul Edwards, panel by Phil Perrott (Alphasim), Paul Edwards, and Lars Fors. A dedicated AI version has been released separately. The textures in this package represent MW207 of 246 Squadron RAF, BOAC G-AGNP ("Manchester"), and Skyways G-AHEY. The Flight dynamics are for a York fitted with Merlin-500 series engines.

Mustique TVSM in the Grenadines Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Mustique island is one of the northernmost of the group of islands known as the Grenadines, just south of Bequia. Mustique is a small island, less than 3 miles long and even at its widest less than a mile wide; as a result the resident population is less than 500. The island is unique in that it is owned by a company. The company is owned, in its turn, by the owners of the 100 or so private villas on the island. The Queen of England is one owner; her participation is balanced out by Jeremy Clarkson.

The airport is at the northern end of the island; the runway is around 3,240 feet long, aligned 09 (and with the southeast trade winds it is most unlikely that you will ever find yourself using 27) and with a steep and displaced threshold of over 900 feet. The displaced threshold is shown but unfortunately FS9 is not capable of coping with anything other than a prefectly flat airport. The terminal is a steel-framed shed with cladding, but is "quaintly" transformed with a palm frond roof etc. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. The airport has no lighting, and flights are obliged to land and depart in daylight hours only, outside of which the airport is closed.

Spruce Goose for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 (hk-1/H-4 Hercules) Download

File Description:
Spruce Goose v1.0 for X-Plane copyright (c) by Robert App, January 2003. History of the "Goose" - Officially designated the HK-1 (this project started out as a join venture between Hughes Aircraft and Kaiser) and later designated the H-4 Hercules after Kaiser was unable to work with Howard. It was and still remains the largest (physical dimensions wingspan and length) aircraft ever built, with the largest radial engines ever built by the West (28 cylinder, 3000 HP). The plane had to be constructed mainly of wood due to the shortage of strategic metals caused by WWII. The plane became known as the "Spruce Goose" or "Flying Lumberyard" despite the fact that the wood frame and skin were constructed mainly of laminated poplar; it also involved "sandwich" construction. The plane was flown briefly on a trial taxiing run but Hughes never allowed the plane to be flown again. Speculation has always been rampant that the design was flawed and the plane could not have met the original specification requirements. The X-Plane model is as accurate as is possible with limited plans available to me. The main wing is an X-Plane standard symmetrical high lift airfoil as opposed to the high lift asymmetrical foil section used in the actual plane. The main wing angle of attack has been adjusted to emulate the asymmetrical foil as closely as possible. Flight Testing the Goose - I have spent many hours testing the plane on X-Plane which with few exceptions provides a very accurate flight model. The published landing speed (79 mph) pretty well verifies the takeoff speed of 52 to 55 knots (k/hr x 1.15 (approx.) = mph). In straight flight the plane is difficult to stall since the nose quickly drops and increases speed if a stall develops with a significant loss of altitude. The plane has a range on 14000 gallons of fuel and takeoff weight of 350,000 Lbs of well over 3000 nautical miles. San Diego to Wake Island via Midway Attol is a piece of cake with lots of fuel to spare at 350,000 lb GW. The plane is flyable at a GW of over 410,000 lb but climb rate is very sluggish (max 400-600 fpm) and loss of speed due to excessive side slip can cause a fatal stall, in straight flight the plane is difficult to stall. So far my conclusion is that with todays materials and jet engines (which may be a future project) this aircraft could probably be competitive in performance with todays planes. With aluminum alloys that were available during its construction its performance would probably have exceeded the initial requirements.

File Description:
TAROM B.737-38J YR-BGB C/N 27180-2529"Bucuresti". This is my new serie of TAROM for the Just Flight Traffic 2004. TAROM((Transporturile Aeriene Romane) is the official airline of Romania and was founded after the war in 1946 as Transporturi Aeriene Romana Sovietica (TARS) with a fleet of Lisunov Li-2.The airline had operated soviet jet types longtime (Ilyushin IL-62, IL-18, Tu-154´s)but after the restructuration in the early 90´s is today composed with 6 ATR-42-300 and 9 B.737-300 and 700 series(models B.737-38J,B.737-78J and one B.737-36Q). All 707´s and soviet types are now stored and out of service.The two A310(introduced in 1992)and tasked to flight the New York services or Charter flights in the summer time are now in reserve and also out of service or saled the fleet of ROMBAC 1-11(BAC 1-11 build under licence by Romaero.The main hub of TAROM is located at Otopeni Intl.airport(Bucarest). TAROM served national destinations(Cluj,Constanta,Tirgu Mures,Timisoara,Satu Mare,Oradea,Iasi,etc)and International destinations(Wien,Frankfurt,Munchen,Brussels,Paris CDG,London HTR,Rome FCO, Budapest,Athens,Thesaloniki,Sofia,Chisinau,Madrid,Larnaca,Tel Aviv,Amman,Beirut,Cairo,Istanbul,Amman) I have included a serie of 64 TAROM flights, all served with the B.737-300´s and ATR42-500´s. Also included a new complete revised AirFile for the 737-300 type(23-04-04).

Complete Apollo 16 pack for Nassp v3.0 Download

File Description:
This is a COMBINED Descartes Landing site and Descartes Enhancement Pack for the new NASSP (v3.0) and the new ORBITER (021202). It also includes Vinka's updated (for 021202) Generic Spacecraft DLL Module so that the "independent" Lunar EVA implementation would work. It also includes YesRushGen's Apollo 16 scenarios which depict the Apollo 16 mission in various stages during the mission. Everything found in Descartes Landing Site and DEP add-ons are included, along with a new Lunar Rover that has both the CMDR and LMP on board when pressing "V" after the NASSP EVA key is pressed. However, due to an inexplicable bug, I decided not to include the detailed SIMBAY EVA astronaut mesh, because Orbiter kept on crashing whenever I perform EVA on BOTH the LM and the CSM. Furthermore, although the LM now sports the bronze-like coloring of the J-Mission Advanced LMs (from inside the SIVB booster until separation of ascent stage), I had to remove the enhancements like the hanging MESA and the LRV from the Descent Stage because it caused inexplicable Orbiter crashes too. But I hope you like the new LM color which is now consistent during the course of the entire mission (in the DEP add-on, it was still aluminum/grey when docked to the CSM and only turned bronze when undocked). Finally, I added a NAV/ADF beacon to the landing site, so that if you press SHIFT-C and tune to 109.10, then press SHIFT-L, your landing display will show your position with respect to the landing site, provided you are within 500 kilometers.

Galena PAKP in Alaska Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Galena is a village on the Yukon River, around 30 miles east of the corner where the westward running river turns south. The population is just under 500 and the city is noted for its educational facilities that attract residential students from across the state. Adjacent to the city is the Galena Air Force Station that previously shared the use of the Edward G. Pitna Snr. airport until 2007, when the station was closed and the air force personnel left. The station facilities have been taken over by the community and the airport became the largest state-maintained airport in the interior of Alaska. Substantial resurfacing and finishing work was then carried out, and the new asphalt runway is now 6,000 feet long and aligned 7-25, with VASI at both ends and ILS on 25. There is a secondary gravel runway beside part of the main asphalt runway, and this is treated in radio announcements as if it is not a separate runway and landing or take off are on the adjacent asphalt. The airport is serviced by ERA (now called Ravn) and Wrights Air, with cargo flights by the eternal Everts. Included here is a small modification for Allakaket, which deletes a single remaining stock FS9 taxiway light. The AI included here also provided Allakaket with a Saturday Everts delivery flight, but I neglected to mention that before. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

Stewart CZST and CAC9 in British Columbia Canada, plus Hyder 4Z7 in AK Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Stewart is in northern British Columbia, around 115 miles north of Terrace, 70 miles northeast of the open sea, and 2 miles from the Canada/US border at the head of a fjord named the Portland Canal. Both Stewart and the nearby Hyder in AK thrived along with silver and gold mining in the early 1900's in the AK and BC interiors and in 1914 Stewart's population was over 10,000, but the current population is now less than 500. This scenery includes Stewart airport (CZST) and also Stewart floats (CAC9) plus Hyder floats 4Z7 which is within sight of Stewart but in Alaska. 4Z7 is based upon the three FSAddon freeware and payware Alaska sceneries, and without whichever one covers Hyder (I forget which) the float base will be isolated way offshore. The Stewart airport is adjacent to the town. There is a single runway that is unlit and just under 4,000 feet of asphalt aligned 18-36, with right hand circuits on 18; a brief view of the surrounding terrain makes it quite clear why. This version is for a period around 2010 to 2012 or so, before a second fuel tank was installed. There are no regularly scheduled flights to Stewart, only GA and charters, but the airport survives with the tourist trips. I have not forgotten the signage for CZST; there isn't any. There is also no clearly defined and fenced boundary to the airport, with a gravel apron beyond the asphalt that then fades to dirt and grass and a road. Hyder has no land connection to the rest of Alaska except through Stewart and a long road trip; the only direct link is by float plane to Ketchikan, 75 miles in a straight line. The AI includes this.

Chas mod of Stearmandriver RNP RNAV Approach into PAJN Rwy 26 for 737NGX Download

Images related to this file:

File Description:
Modded StearmanDriver(SD) RNP RNAV Rwy 26 into PAJN, Juneau, Alaska. SD gave us a cool little route that while not LATLONG nor Fixname accurate, it couldn't be without legal and occupational liabilities...and it worked, but if you look at his FixNames and the LATLONG from the PAJN.txt file for the 737 NGX...it did work pretty nicely...at least as nicely as the charted RNAV course into Rwy 8. So I created my own procedure LATLONG rightly or wrongly in a multi-step procedure as follows:

1. I took the raw info provided by SD and flew to each of his waypoints,(if you look, almost all of his FIXs were rounded off...to avoid company or legal problems) noting safe altitude, starting out at 7000ft, creating user waypoints in my GTN750, looking around for first, vertical, then horizontal safety...keeping in mind that Ultimately...I would not be using this data for my Duke, but for the Procedure page of my PMDG 737 NGX..which you already saw me fly with SD's fixes.
2. I took my Turbine Duke up and noted the REAL LATLONG as reported by slewing and world map...transposed those numbers into the format that PMDG's procedures needed DDD.mm fractional minutes. I converted using http://www.directionsmag.com/site/latlong-converter/
3.I created my own mid-point user waypoints from the west CHRTRN,and the NNE CHRTS so we could have approaches from those directions.
4. I put my Duke into autopilot, knowing the lateral info...my flightplan was correct, but I would have to handle the Vnav manually. Turns out its rather manageable with the following info: CHRTRN 5000FT - MARMN 3500FT - TRDWL 2500FT - SALMN 1500 - LEMNN 500 - PAJN5 50

My MOD OF SDs RNP RNAV PAJNRwy 26, will be up on Avsim as ChasModRNP RNAV PAJN Rwy 26.zip
