| Stanford Torus Space Colony v1.0 |
|
File Description:
What will future space colonization realistically look like? What is it like to approach a rotating station almost 2km in diameter?
The Stanford Torus is based on a design created during a 10 week program in 1975 held at NASA’s Ames Research Center and Stanford University. The project participants considered how to create a practicable permanent colony in space using existing technology at minimum cost.
The habitat is over 1800m in diameter and spins at 1 rpm to provide 1g of pseudo-gravity.
Package includes a scenario to fly from the ISS up to a GEO rendez-vous with Stanford, as well as documentation on the station itself. I am looking for a texture artist to do the station justice, since my textures are pretty sad. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.
INSTALLATION: You need Vinka's spacecraft.dll to use this add-on. A link is provided in the documentation.
1. Unzip files into your Orbiter directory, preserving the directory structure in the zipfile.
2. Load up the Stanford scenario in the Stanford directory in the Orbiter start window.
3. Enjoy the trip!

| Display_Smoke_ Cntrl_ Gauge |
|
File Description:
This simple gauge is for the Alphasim T6 Harvard/Texan airplane (airplane package required), design to stop the 3 display smoke effects from coming on when the lights are first turned on from the spot view mode.
Since both the Harvard or Texan are not using the Taxi lights, this gauge works based on the state of the Taxi light bool. When you first turn on all lights via the "L" key from the keyboard, the on state of the Taxi lights in turn, turns off the 3 Display Smoke Switches, then after a 2 second delay the Taxi lights are reset to the off state again, ready for the next cycle of the keyboard "L" key.
Just want to reiterate, this is not a auto display smoke gauge in the sense, this is an invisible gauge (no visual references) that just stops the 3 display smoke switches from being turned on with the lights, so you don't get that big ball of colored smoke around the airplane when in "spot view" mode, and you turn the lights on via the "L" key on the keyboard.
Note: Has not been verified in FSX, but should work though!

| KPMD - Palmdale AF Plant 42 |

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for KPMD Palmdale AF A huge 5,800 acres/23 km² airfield that has somehow been overlooked by addon developers. almost all hangers and buildings are custom built due to their uniqueness to KPMD. Most of the facilities are owned by private contractors and serve as a manufacturing plant
for aircraft used by the United States .Rockwell's Palmdale assembly facility is where Space Shuttle came together
and were assembled and tested. Upon completion, the Shuttles were turned over to NASA for transport overland
to Edwards Air Force Base, California.
The airfield was opened in the early 1930s.At the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, the U.S. Air Force realized a need
for a location for use in final assembly and flight testing of military jet aircraft, away from major population centers but close enough to the major
centers of aircraft design and production .Year round excellent flying weather was also a prerequisite. The land which
became AF Plant 42 fit all these criteria. Therefore the USAF bought the facility in in 1951.In the 1960's Lockheed
relocated to Plant 42 from its original Burbank, Ca .

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project adds and updates all of the airports of Bhutan. Bathpalathang (VQBT) and Gelephu (VQGP) are added, Yongphulla (VQ10) is updated and recoded as VQTY, and Paro (VQPR) is fully updated to reflect current satellite imagery. These are all fully functioning AI airports as well. Special attention was given to the entire Paro Valley, and numerous road/river vectors were updated around Gelephu. Accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. They are optimized to fit seamlessly with FTX Vector's roads/water, but they should be fully functional in all FSX configurations.
GA-encoded flight plans for the Buddha Air/Kathmandu charter are provided to enhance service to Paro. NASA SRTM Global 3 arc second terrain mesh is also included for all of Bhutan. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery, when available. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.

| Goma Intl (FZNA) DRC and Gisenyi (HRYG) Rwanda |

File Description:
This project includes the neighboring Goma Intl (FZNA) and Gisenyi (HRYG) airports. After Goma's only runway was severely damaged by the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in 2002, the runway, originally 3000m long, was reduced to 1800m of serviceable pavement after lava flowed onto the northern part runway and through the city center. In 2013, German NGO Welthungerhilfe ("World Hunger Aid") signed a contract to rehabilitate 500m of runway damaged by the lava flow. Goma resumed scheduled international flights in 2015, and this project reflects the airport as of March 2016, with runway 18/36 renumbered to 17/35. SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh brings the volcanoes in the area into much greater detail. This scenery is complimented by the Kigali Intl (HRYR) scenery (FSX_HRYR_Kigali_2016.zip).
Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the set created by Jim Dhaenens.

File Description:
This project adds the booming city of Hawassa, Ethiopia, creates the new international airport (HALA), moves (and rebuilds) the downtown airport (recoded to HALX), and includes AI flight plans for the Ethiopian Airlines service that began April 2016. Tested in both the default FSX: Acceleration and with FTX Global/Vector, accurate coastlines, lakes, road data, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. The Hawassa International Airport was created using information from the current satellite footprint and the promotional video from Ethiopian Airports Enterprise (EAE). Although there is still very little published data on the airport, it is fully functional.
Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool.

File Description:
Hello to all you flightsimmers,...After i,v been profiting for years downloading stuff made by others [and enjoying it very much] I thought it was about time to create something myself. here is the result.I hope I did not offend anyone using their gauges because it,s quite impossible to ask every idividual permission for all the gauges I used,but I would gladly take the opportunity here of thanking them for the use of them..........Please NOTE:I did not create any of the gauges used for this panel myself and therefore do not earn any credit for them or whatsoever...........Half of them for instance are of MICROSOFT [Copyright]....I tried to stay as close to the original design of the AN-225 cockpitt, however in some cases I had to alter some things due to the lack of available id light gauges. Furthermore it was not always possible to see wh������� t instrument it was that I saw on the photopicture.Anyway ENJOY!!!!. PS Any comments!? please send them to:Jean Louis Bekkers
