| Amundsen-Scott Station |
|
File Description:
The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is the American scientific research station on the high plateau of Antarctica. This station is located at the southernmost place on the Earth, the Geographic South Pole, at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9301 feet) above sea level.
Since the Amundsen-Scott Station is located at the South Pole, it is at the only place on the land surface of the Earth where the sun is continuously up for six months and then continuously down for six months. (The only other such place is at the North Pole, on the sea ice in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.) Thus, during each year, this station experiences one extremely long "day" and one extremely long "night". During the six-month "day", the angle of elevation of the Sun above the horizon varies continuously. The sun rises on the September equinox, reaches its maximum angle above the horizon on the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, around 20 December, and sets on the March equinox.
During the six-month "night", it gets extremely cold at the South Pole, with air temperatures sometimes dropping below -73�°C (-100�°F). This is also the time of the year when blizzards, sometimes with gale-force winds, strike the Amundsen-Scott Station. The continuous period of darkness and dry atmosphere make the station an excellent place from which to make astronomical observations.

| Naknek (5NK) and Naknek South (WSN) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Naknek and Naknek South are two towns close to the mouth of the Naknek River and on opposite banks. King Salmon is approximately 15 miles to the east. The canneries on both banks of the river are the reason for the existence of both towns and airfields, with fishing for salmon being the primary industry of the area. This takes place from the beach by individuals, by small boats in the river and the immediate sea area, and offshore by larger craft. There is a picture of one boat unloading in Naknek which will be known to anyone who has watched the most famous television fishing programme of all, Deadliest Catch. Cornelia Marie is better known for the crab fishing based in Dutch Harbor, but this area too is just as productive though without the drama. Naknek 5NK has two gravel runways and a float runway in the adjoining lake; all three are just under 2,000 feet long. Naknek South WSN has two gravel runways, 12-30 being 3,300 feet long and 04-22 2,260 feet. As the road connecting to King Salmon is on the north bank it is probable that more seasonal workers are brought into the southern canneries by air, hence the longer runway (and with PAPI on 12). Grant Aviation run scheduled flights into both and there are numerous seasonal charter flights. The AI is a further modification of that posted with King Salmon PAKN and includes these flights, and presumes that you have already downloaded PAKN.

| Air Force One Dynamic UpGrade |
|
File Description:
This upgrade for Air Force One requires Meljet versions of this aircraft, available on this site. It is a work of which took over a year of experimentation to get almost everything correct. My former upgrades do not compare to this. The upgrade includes kneeboard flight details as well as updated wind noise. The "Readnow" document explains all requirements and/or necessities. These dynamics correct most problems occurring in the original Meljet Air Force One aircraft, and were designed within FS2002 ... should work on FS2004 as well. With these dynamics the aircraft is very smooth on take-off and landing, and can cruise at high altitude for extreme long duration flights.

| Audio-Visual Player for your Kneeboard |
|
File Description:
An Audio-Visual enhancement for the Kneeboard of ANY aircraft. Ever wonder what the pilots are doing on those long flights while the passengers are watching a movie? Perhaps they too are watching their favorite flic. This simple enhancement will allow you to watch movies in several formats (AVI WMV MPG) or listen to music in several formats (MP3 WAV and WMA) - on the kneeboard of any aircraft. This application does not replace any of the normal kneeboard references but simply adds an audio-visual option. The code necessary to do this was originally written by Tim Pinkawa and has been slightly modified by David "Opa" Marshall for your flying enjoyment. Please unzip to a temporary folder and follow the very simple installation instructions.

| P-51D 531st FS Iwo Jima '313 |
|
File Description:
P-51D 44-63934 was assigned to 1Lt John F. Galbraith. He joined the 531st FS/21st FG when he was flying p-39's in Hawaii, and converted to the P-38 and P-51. He was credited with killing nine Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima during the 26 March 1945 banzai raid, before being wouded. He soon returned to the squadron and began flying VLR (very long range) missions. He most vividly recalls strafing Japanese ships that were closing in on a American submarine. He said he flew '313' because everybody else in the 531st FS was too superstitious to go near it. Repaint for the Shockwave WWII Fighters Mustang by Jan Kees Blom, based on paintkit by John Terrell.

| Islander I400 concept jet - base package |
|
File Description:
The Islander I400 is my concept jet. Islander because I live in the Philippines and I400 because after all my designs, the fourth one is the one I liked most. It's made using gmax 1.2. The visual model is very framerate friendly so it can also be used as AI for your virtual AI traffic. This is the base package. This includes a paintkit (not in layered PSD form) and three liveries: KLM, South African Airways and Philippine Airlines. This is a high-performance, high-speed, ultra long-range 70-100 seat narrowbody jet. It can climb to 50,000 feet and can takeoff and land on short runways. You can fly this jet to anywhere in the world and into a wide range of airports.

| Aer Lingus Boeing 747-130 |
|
File Description:
Textures only Aer Lingus 'St. Kieran' repaint of 'EI-BED' - for the CLS 747. You will need the CLS 747 200/300 payware package for these textures to work, and ive arranged them in the folders for use with the CLS livery manager, that comes with the product. Ive tested the installation and it seems to work ok. This repaint represents EI-BED - 'St. Kieran' - one of Aer Lingus 747's in probably the best known of all the Aer Lingus liverys - with a 'proper' shamrock and a light green, blue, dark green, white and grey fuselage...! This aircraft had a long history starting in 1970 with Lufthansa, until scrapped somtime in 1996. I used the excellent CLS repaint kit, and photos found online for reference.
