| B25 Mitchell Bomber |
|
File Description:
B25 Mitchell for X-Plane 6.40-6.6 Made famous by the Doolittle raid on Tokyo shortly after Pearl Harbour the B25 Mitchell bomber is the most famous medium bomber of WWII and perhaps of all time. The B25 was the most numerous twin engine aircraft built by the US during WWII; estimates of production vary from 9300 to 11000 built. On April 18, 1942 Doolittle led sixteen B-25 aircraft from the navy carrier, U.S.S. Hornet to bomb Japan in retaliation for that country's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Although little damage was done and all planes were lost the raid proved to be one of the most famous missions of the war. The B25 was powered by a pair of 1,700 hp Wright R-2600-29 "Cyclone" 14 cylinder, air-cooled engines. Maximum speed was 272 mph at 15,000 ft, with a ceiling of 24,000 ft and a range of 1350 miles with a full load of bombs. Armament varied considerably in the B25 depending on the type of mission the plane was designed for. Heavenly Body is a B25J designed as a bomber, so it carried eleven 0.50 caliber machine guns; two in the top turret, two in the tail, one in the nose, two in cheek packs on each side under the pilot and one in each waste window. The top, nose and cheek pack guns could also be used in strafing, if so desired. This version carried 3,000 lbs of bombs (usually six 500 pounders) in an interior bomb bay. The X-Plane version is a fairly faithful rendition of the B25. The body consists of two sections consisting of the fuselage and a fuel tank. The main engine nacelles actually consist of two nacelles, one is the 1700 HP engine, the rear section is a 5 lb thrust rocket. Engine nacelles are also used for the two rudders in order to get the correct shape. Vertical stabilizers with rudders are buried within the nacelles. Decoration of the plane is complicated by the use of multiple nacelles but the resulting compromise is acceptable though not an authentic replica.

As usual my panel leaves a lot to be desired but version 2 will correct this.

| Update (FIX) to Doolittle Raiders B25-Bs By revev |

File Description:
Update (FIX) to Doolittle Raiders B25-Bs By revev. The texture Files of all the repaint zip files were missing the "decal_insignia_t0.bmp" file. This file blanks out the default insignia contained in the model file structure. Without it, the default insignia is displayed on top of the insignia painted on the aircraft by the author of the repaint. It causes a very distorted view of the insignia. (see README for installation details). By revev. Enjoy!

| Maps2Bgl 1.7 d |
|
File Description:
The program makes possible simply creating a Photo scenery for FS 2004/FSX from photo tiles of different maps services. The created areas can be large theoretically arbitrarily. A limitation is only limited by the time for the compilation and the download of the graphics. The program runs independently of the simulator. One can use the Scenery on older computers also well. The specification of the area is made by a KML file (created in Google Earth).

| Bombardier CRJ-200 Lights Fix |
|
File Description:
This file contains three lights to add to the PAYWARE WILCO/FEELTHERE CRJ-200 for FS9. The default aircraft.cfg file omits two white nav lights on the tailfin and rear of the fuselage, and a strobe on the rear of the fuselage. Simply add the enclosed lines to the [LIGHTS] section of the cfg file, and away you go. I've included links to some airliners.net and flightlevel350.com references to demonstrate the real-life location of the lights. Cheers!
