This packet includes a repaint of Alouette III by Camille Bachmann (Squirrel) in the current livery of the Royal Netherlands Airforce (Koninklijke Luchtmacht).
The livery includes the special 50 years stickers, the RNLAF (Klu) has been operating the Alouette III since 1964. Currently only 4 remain in the VIP flight based at Gilze Rije airbase. They are due to retire in 2016, after 52 years of service!
Outside is painted in high resolution 40964x4096 pixels. Almost all decals are present and readable. Inside is also completely repainted to bring it in-line as close as possible with the real aircraft. This includes the VC textures:
- Airspeed and Vertical speed are now Knots and feet/min, and photo-real look
- Altitude could not be changed texture wise, however is still changed
in a more photo-real look
- Most instruments have now English text
- Added lots of (semi) photo-real details across the VC

File Description:
McDonnell Douglas DC-8 for AI Traffic (DWAI Models). This is the P3Dv4.5/5.2 conversion of Dee Waldron's entire DC-8 family of models for AI traffic, with permission kindly given by Dee Waldron. These models are intended as a stop-gap measure until a new DC-8 family specifically modeled for the 64-bit sims comes along, and I may have something to do with that this fall. This package has all seven of Dee's original models, and includes DC-8-12, DC-8-52, DC-8-61, DC-8-62 (two different model versions), and DC-8-63. I have also added in a small collection of the paints I have done over the years. Five main aircraft variants with a total of six models and 61 repaints are included here. This is only meant to get the AI DC-8 into the 64-bit sims, and I pretty much did straight conversions without too many upgrades. However, these aircraft, with special instructions included, are compatible with all prior paints available in the usual places. Original aircraft by Dee Waldron et. al, MCX and RADiator utilites by Arno Gerretsen, P3Dv4/5 conversion and all release repaints by Michael Pearson.

| RAAF Avro York MW140 |
|
File Description:
textures for Classic British Flight Sim avro york. First Flight 10/11/44. Delivered RAF 246 Sqn 09/02/45. Transfered to RAAF as 'Endeavour' and allocated A74-1 10/03/45. To 1 AD 19/03/45. To Governor Generals Flight 02/04/45. To 17 RSU for engine change 10/04/45. To Governor Generals Flight 11/04/45. Although the RAAF identification number A74 was allocated, the York retained the original serial MW140, but the RAF markings were exchanged for the contemporary RAAF blue and white roundels and flashes. The York was used for long-range flights including the Duke's tour of New Guinea, New Britain, and Bougainville Island. The flight was terminated on July 5 1945, because of the death of the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon John Curtin. On two occasions, September 20 1945, and October 5 1945 "Endeavour" was flown to Singapore to evacuate ex-POWs, and on the first return journey a record flight was established between Perth and Canberra. On January 17 1947, "Endeavour" departed from Mascot and arrived in England on January 23 1947, where the aircraft was handed back to the Air Ministry. 06/01/48, RAF 24 Sqn. 03/52, Withdrawn & stored RAF 12MU Kirkbride, Cumbria, UK, 07/09/54 Aviation Jersey - later broken up. Although allocated A74-1, it was never applied to the aircraft

| 118527 "Jiminy Cricket" Douglas C-47D |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a livery-paint for the Leading Edge Simulations Douglas DC3/C47.
Paint made by Leen "Flybike" de Jager
This paint depicts (more or less,within the limitations of the model and its painter) the C47-D ,118527 "Jiminy Cricket "
Historical Note:
"Jiminy Cricket" is depicted as it flew for the Sicily operation in improvised night camouflage.
It was one of the original 52 C-47s that deployed to Egypt with the 316thTCG in December 1942.
"Jiminy Cricket" was one of the first from the 316th Sq.
ATC, to visit Project 19, delivering worn out parts and returning rebuilt
engines to the RAF. It eventually took part in the invasion of Sicily,
where, the pilot, Sgt. George Quisenberry received wounds from German FLAK.
The shell destroyed the nose of the Aircraft, knocking out all instruments
except the stand by compass. Jiminy carried the crew back with nothing but
the moon and the sticking standby compass. Jiminy Cricket was repaired and
served through May 1, 1947, then was "salvaged"
The skin-set includes cockpit- and (freighter-) cabin textures as well.
Passenger-seats, luggage-racks ,airco etc.removed from the plane.( its a freighter now !!)
Livery dedicated panel and cockpit colors
How to install:
Just unzip118527JiminyCricket.zip into a temp. folder , and start reading the readme file.
Have fun and enjoy,

| RAF Upper Heyford EGUA 1955-1962 |
|
File Description:
EGUA RAF Upper Heyford 1955-1962
The airfield was originally built in 1918 by the Royal Air Force on land owned by New College Oxford, closed briefly after the end of the First World War and then re-opened in the 1920s. During the Second World War it was used by units of RAF Bomber Command but these were training rather than operational forces, even if aircraft of the 16th OTU (Operational Training Unit) may sometimes have taken part in bombing operations against the Third Reich. New runways were laid in 1942. During the Cold War Upper Heyford was chosen as one of the airfields used to operate bomber aircraft belonging to the US Strategic Air Command, and in 1950 the main runway was extended while new hardstandings were constructed for the bombers concerned. However, units were not stationed there permanently, but did Temporary Duty Assignments from their bases in the US. They included the 93rd Bomb Wing, 97th Air Refueling Squadron, 509th Air Refueling Squadron, 301st Bomb Wing, 8th Air Sea Rescue Squadron, 2nd Bomb Wing, 5th Bomb Wing Detachment, and the 22nd Bomb Wing. Aircraft included the B-50 Superfortress, (briefly) the B-36 Peacemaker, the B-47 and from 1960 the B-52. There were further significant developments after 1962 which fall outside the remit of this scenery, Upper Heyford being finally returned to the British Ministry of Defence in 1994 after the end of the Cold War.

| Fokker F27 Friendship (Mk500) for AI |
|
File Description:
Fokker F27 Friendship (Mk500) for AI
The Dutch government provided funding to assist with constructing the Fokker F27, which first first flew in 1955, and Fairchild were licenced to build the Friendship in the United States in 1958. The Mk500 could carry 52 passengers.
This model is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population . It is basically too heavy (at 45000lbs all up) to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Marcus Brunner, but I am using it happily with my general AI traffic on normal routes. I had found that the numerous F27s that have been built were very frame-rate heavy, and as this aircraft has sentimental meaning to me from childhood days, I decided to make a frame-rate friendly version.
It is also quite fun to fly as a normal aircraft so I have left a link to a testing panel (Baron 58), but I would suggest you substitute a more suitable replacement.
This model incorporates animated rudder, elevator, flaps and ailerons and landing gear.The main model contains only 1671 polygons with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. It also has night lighting.
There are three other models incorporated to give a total of 4 LOD models.
There are three textures included (Air New Zealand, Fed Ex and Uniair), plus a paintkit, in this zip file.
Designed with FSDS v2.24

| English Electric Lightning for AI traffic - The Frightening Part 3 |

File Description:
English Electric Lightning for AI traffic - The Frightening Part 3. This aircraft is one of the iconic military aircraft of the Cold War era, charged with home defense of the United Kingdom, as well as duties abroad, throught the 1960s - early 1980s. The Lightning served admirably in that role, was exported to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait; and also saw limted combat service in the Arabian penninsular region. After thirteen years of painting, and eight years of abortive attempts to discover the true mysteries of aircraft design, this is my first from-scratch original aircraft to make it to upload. There is a lot of Nick Black influence (and pilot figure) in this model, but the rest of the physical model is all mine, good or bad. This is an 8-LOD model, with all sorts of eye candy listed in the documentation. The painting comes from an age when gaudy heraldic liveries were quite acceptable on tactical aircraft, so this is a painter's dream as well. My intent was to make a very comprehensive offering with a lot of options (and paints), so to that end I am breaking this up into three manageable parts so it won't be a 70MB download. This is part 3, encompassing the export F.52, F.53, T.54, and T.55 variants; collectively containing 23 model options and 22 paints. Please take some time to read the extensive doucmentation, there are numerous credits and instructions regarding this model. Base models, paint kits, and release repaints by Michael Pearson, inspiration by Nick Black, flight dynamics by Michael MacIntyre, and relentless technical expertise from Steve Holland.

| APSA '1966' C-46 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the C-46 in Aerolineas Peruanas - APSA, 1966 colors. The freeware C-46 by Libardo Guzman and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. American C.W. Shelton, the owner of the Honduran carrier TAN (Transportes Aereas Nacionales), in association with two Peruvian nationals, founded Aerolineas Peruanas SA (APSA) in September 1956. Consequently, APSA began a C-46 international service from Lima (Peru) to Santiago de Chile via Autofagasta on June 17, 1957. By 1960, the company expanded its operations to Mexico City, and Panama City. Also in 1960 the CAB of the USA granted the rights to APSA to fly to Miami. However, before the rights were granted, the CAB forced C.W. Shelton to transfers his interest in APSA to Peruvian owners, as APSA was under "foreign interests" (ie. Shelton). Thus after this ruling, Shelton's airline changed hands and became a 77% owned Peruvian airline. The company entered the jet age with the delivery of its first convair 990 Coronado, which was leased, on 23 December 1963. South American expansion was undertaken in 1964 as services were launched to La Paz, Montevideo, and Asuncion. Eventually, Lima to London via Madrid and Paris flights were inaugurated during the spring of 1969 with a DC-8-52 leased from Iberia. Tragically, due to the high costs of its aircraft leases, the carrier encountered severe financial difficulties in 1970. Aditionally, the government, led by Juan Velasco Alvarado, refused to bail out APSA. Alvarado had plans to establish a state owned airline - AEROPERU, and APSA was standing in his way. Unable to overcome its massive $22-million debt, APSA ceased operations on May 3, 1971. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. Textures are 32bit bmp. It should work on FSX, P3D v1-3, & FS2004.

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