| Frozen Canadian & USA Rivers & Lakes Revision |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This "freezes" all lakes and rivers for winter flying and means they can be landed on with skis or wheels; it is meant for low level flying rather than high level jet flights. This edition is complete in itself and now really covers all of Canada and parts of the USA along the border, including large parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. It is reversible with an "untick" in the FS scenery library. The revision is the addition of frozen sea in the area of Baffin Island (where I and Sid & Pete have recently posted all of the Baffin Island airfields) as I missed this area last time. Sorry about that. I have spent some time making sure that the sea and the inlets along the coast in the south do not get frozen too, and also some of the lakes that are close to the coast and rarely get cold enough to freeze over. The Great Lakes do not usually totally freeze, but this is an either ON or OFF modification and partial freezing cannot be convincingly simulated, so I went for total ice. Along the north shore I went for the peak of the winter with sea ice all the way to the permanent polar cap; this is not totally realistic as there is usually a partially open lead along the coast, but as with the Great Lakes...... It will work without Ultimate Terrain, but as UT is what gets all the lakes and rivers there and in the right place (except in the far north) it is obviously much improved with UT. The pics show Rockcliffe in the winter with the frozen Ottawa River for real and in FS for comparison; without UT the river would not be in the right place.

| Kuujjuarapik CYGW in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kuujjuarapik is in northern Quebec at the southern end of Hudson Bay, 90 miles east of James Bay and on the north shore of the Great Whale River; Kuujjuarapik means Small Great River in Inuktitut. Once again the Hudson Bay trading post that opened (in 1820) was the catalyst for the establishment of first a seasonal encampment and then the beginnings of a town in the late 1930's.
The two adjacent villages that now form the town have a total population (mainly Cree and Inuit) of around 1,500. When the Quebec hydo-electric project was under construction in the early 1980's a large portion of the Inuit population voted to move to a new settlement called Umiujaq (my post) 100 miles to the north.
The airport is to the west of the town, between the town and the sea. The gravel and sand runway (which I have made as gravel as there is no convincing way to mix the two) is 5,500 feet long, 150 feet wide, and aligned 17/35, which is approximately parallel to the coast. There is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA, delivered by truck. The AI included here is for Air Inuit and Wasaya, with Air Inuit making three flights per day plus a fourth flight by the Air Inuit Twotter C-GNDO that is based at the airport, and private flights by various aircraft. Yes, there really is a golf course to the south of the airport, and the last thing to note is that Kuujjuarapik has a mandatory radio frequency and that taking into consideration the scheduled flights I have included the tower radio frequency that makes this a controlled airport in FS9.

| Chance-Vought F-8 Crusader (Part 3) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Chance-Vought F-8 Crusader (Part 3). I present a comprehensive AI traffic model package for this classic aircraft of modern military history.
This is an original 8-LOD model, with many animations and features thanks to a growing confidence in XML-coding and making FSDS work for me instead of the other way around.
Nicknamed "The Last Gunfighter", this aircraft was the last production aircraft for the US Navy and Marine Corps which used guns as primary armament, and was in service at the twilight of this age, as well as the dawn of the missile age. Like all combat-experienced aircraft, it had a relatively short life during its operational use (only about twenty years or so as a fighter), but was used a little longer as a recce aircraft; and beyond that in export service to France and the Philippines. The Crusader was used extensively in combat operations in Vietnam, played a crucial role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and gave the newer F-4 Phantoms a fair run for their money in terms of air combat capability during this time. It is interesting to note that the 'elderly' F-8 Crusader had a better kill overall ratio in air combat in Vietnam than its F-4 successor.
This is part three of this model series, covering the F-8J, F-8K, F-8L, RF-8A, and RF-8G base models; with a total of 25 model options and 56 individual unit paints. I am fairly confident that if any operational squadron of the USN and USMC used this aircraft from the late 50s to the early 80s, it is covered in this project at some time frame. Base model and paint by Michael Pearson, flight dynamics by Michael McIntyre.

| INS Vikramaditya |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
INS Vikramaditya was commisioned into the Soviet Navy as Baku in 1988. It is the third and final remaining Kiev class carrier, the other two being Admiral Kuznetsov and Lioning. Like Lioning, Vikramaditya was purchased from Russia but that is pretty much where the similarity ends. The Chinese quietly bought Varyag under the guise that it would be converted into another floating hotel or casino as had been done several times in the past; then, almost to everyones surprise, they re-built and announced they had an aircraft carrier. India contracted with Russia to complete the refit which began an epic saga of international proportions that encompassed espionage, honey traps and logarithmically expanding budgets. Originally promised for 2008, the latest quotes expect delivery in October/November 2013.
I think the carrier looks very sporty or yacht-like, with the ski-jump bow and the oversized island which has been criticized for being too far into the middle of the deck; it is said to be India's final non-indigenous warship and future flagship to serve for the next 20 to 30 years.
This model is intended for placement with AI Carriers, by Lamont Clark. It has animated radars, working cables, catapults and deck lights. The IFLOS is calibrated, but the catapults will only activate if the airplane deploys a launch bar. The Vikramaditya uses retractable chocks to allow aircraft to develop full thrust, but I could not find a way to lock an aircraft to represent the STOBAR configuration without using catapults. I did not define the elevators because they do not operate and are in the middle of the deck. There are two ships included for escort, the INS Talwar and a Russian Fregat II class ASW destroyer. They have hard decks and night lighting, animated radars, funnel smoke, etc.

| CPR5 - Woodstock - Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a south Ontario series. Woodstock is a town with a population of around 38,000, located 50 miles west of Lake Ontario. The airfield is 3 miles west of the town, with a single grass runway just over 3,000 feet long and 100 plus feet wide, aligned 05/23 in FS9 (in fact it is now 06/24 due to the magnetic north wandering off during the last 10 years). There have been at different times varying amounts of gravel mixed in with the grass on both runway and taxiway; the majority surface by far is grass and I have left it all as such, as there is no visually convincing way to mix the two without unreal sharp edges. The apron is on the northern side of the runway, and is now modified in shape to maximise the area available for crops. There are 10 "T" hangars and a small clubhouse in a single long building. There is no fuel, runway lighting, or taxiway or apron lights so usage is effectively restricted to daylight hours. To the east of CPR5 and on the edge of the town is a private airstrip with 2,800 feet of asphalt runway; I have added this as a visual reference, along with several large grain silos on the other side of the road. Hidden in plain sight amid the surrounding farmland, the first sighting of CPR5 is actually always of the adjacent and far more visible buildings just to the east of the apron, which are owned by a company that deals with everything to do with boats, up to and including fishing gear. These have been included. As ditches cannot be effectively duplicated in FS9 I have included some fences which do not exist in real life, to give some needed visual clues.

| Dreamfleet 737-400 Panel/Air and Ariane Gmax Visual Model Merge |
|
File Description:
Dreamfleet/Flight1 Panel and air file merged With Gmax Ariane 737-400 Aeroflot visual model in FS2002. NOTE: users may have both Dreamfleet and Ariane products to run my merge beacuse I don't send any *.bmp, *.mdl or *.air but only a rewritten aircraft.cfg and the instrctions! This merge of the excellent Dreamfleet/Flight1 panel and the Ariane Gmax Aeroflot 737-400 is a combination of adjustments made by me, Mirko Masiero, on previus work of Jason Barlow and Lou Betti. Do not bother Dreamfleet/Flight1 or Ariane with any problems due to this merge. They will not support it in any way. I may support it a bit as I find time, but you're basically on your own. I'm just contributing this to the community. If and when Dreamfleet/Flight1 release a Gmax visual model, I will cease to use this. The flight model should be exactly the same as the Dreamfleet/Flight1 737-400. This merge uses the Dreamfleet/Flight1 air file and most of the aircraft.cfg too. The station loads in the weighting section come right out of an aircraft.cfg edited by the Load Manager, so you could copy in your own station loads if you desire. Known problems: For some reason regard Flight One 737 air file and Ariane model interactions,the ailerons do not work VISUALLY (only!) even though they work on Ariane 737-400. I do not believe there is anything I can do about this. The virtual cockpit, I Think due to a particolar Ariane model design, is not usable, but this is a minor issue... Enjoy!

| Toronto Downtown Airport CYTZ Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
CYTZ is on an island in Lake Ontario and immediately adjacent to downtown Toronto. This updates the version made by Flight Ontario as there have been major changes since Porter Airlines purchased the airport. The obvious and main new item is the terminal, made with photo textures and with ten gates sized to accomodate the Dash 8-400 they currently use. The terminal has a passenger entrance and a vehicle setdown point as part of the link to the ferry terminal that wraps around the west side of the original and preserved terminal building. The ferry terminal is included here, along with a ferry. Also new are the car parking, road routing, gate and taxi markings, taxiways, taxiway signage, taxiway lighting, runway lighting, aprons, apron lighting (from Sid Schwartz and you will need to install his "lights_ss_v2"), fences, fuel tanks, tanker trucks, access roads to navigation equipment, ai parking, static parked planes, parked cars, apron equipment, and the useable floatplane ramp. The AI includes Porter, Jazz, several GA aircraft, and a helicopter. Only 3 of these require downloads. The Lake Ontario AI includes three large ships, typical of the traffic to be seen on all the Great Lakes. CYTZ has three runways and there is an airport diagram included. 08-26 has ILS and is the only runway actually long enough to be used by Porter; FS9 atc will ignore this. There is fuel available and it is dispensed from a truck. The longer projection from the front of the terminal building is a covered ramp that leads up from the terminal basement level, used by towed luggage trolleys. The gates are not powered in any way except for the weather cover that protects passengers as they cross the small area of asphalt between plane and gate. I did not try to reproduce this in FS9.

| LGTS 2014 - Thessaloniki Makedonia Airport |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Eight years after the first scene the group of Greek airports Project invites you to travel in Thessaloniki which marked the route of the group in the area of Flight Simulator.
The scene following the design of our philosophy which allows the simmer to enjoy a full scene without getting tired to find solutions which have to do with settings, yields etc, without unnecessary construction that nobody ever sees and which only need to create a commercial impression in some photos.
Objects reconstructed with Gmax and 3dmax that make you enjoy your virtual trip to the airport, and not only because this time we have also included many points from the beautiful city of Thessaloniki as for example the known White Tower, the Aristotelous Square, the facilities of the Thessaloniki International Fair, the football stadiums of the best known groups, the opera house, the City Hall, and many others in a separate scenery (THESSALONIKI_VFR ) included in this version which you are not obliged to install but in our opinion will give you a different sensation in your approach to Macedonia airport.
The THESSALONIKI_VFR also combined with the very good photoreal from Antonis Gikas state of GAP "Hellenic Actual Scenery" and with any other photoreal is circulated to the region.
This photoreal version is currently for FS9 but very soon will follow and the version for FSX, P3DV1/P3DV2.
Retained many of the features of the previous version as the transparent windows which give different feel on the inside part of the terminal, and replaced with different modern way.
Of course for the FSX version corrected all non-compliant issues from FS9 - FSX.
Enjoy free your flight for the magnificent Thessaloniki, in Greece, in Macedonia.
