| Lockheed L-749 Constellation Base Pack |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Dimensionally identical to the first-generation Constellation (L-049), the
post-war 749 had more powerful engines, additional fuel tanks, strengthened
landing gear, and much improved performance. Equally good for shuttle hops
and long-range flights, L-749 Connies entered service with major 1950s
carriers such as Eastern, TWA, B.O.A.C., Air France, KLM, Quantas, and many
others. Another customer was the Air Force, which placed an order for ten
aircraft (designated C-121A) in 1948.
Included in this sim package are seven
models and five textures, covering variants with and without "Speedpak"
cargo pannier, weather radar, and "jetstack" exhausts. KLM texture by Jaap
de Baare (representing "Flevoland", the last 749 in flying condition today).
TWA texture N6003C "Star of America" by Hans Herrmann. EAL, Air France, and
MATS textures by Manfred Jahn (including "8609", a frequent visitor to
airshows all over the world until 2005). Panel textures and additional
gauges by Diego S. Barreto, model and VC by Manfred Jahn, panels, gauges,
and animations by Hansjoerg Naegele, flight dynamics by Luis Pallas,
wingview angles, lights, and exhaust effects by Bill Tyne and Roland Berger,
checklist and documentation by Volker Boehme, flight test and handling
research by Stefan Werner. The 749 project has been hosted by Tom Gibson's
Calclassic forum at http://calclassic.proboards55.com.

| Cape Dyer CWFD in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cape Dyer is on the southeast corner of Baffin Island, around 120 miles east of Pangnirtung at approximately N66 45 W61 30. There is a fine view north up the Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenland, and this is the whole reason for the airfield's existance as it was built to support the construction and operation of a DEW line radar station, which has now been updated to a North Warning System site. There are two camps; the upper camp is on the east side of the Cape and is where the radars are located, linked by a gravel road to the lower camp, which is on the west and more sheltered side of the Cape on the clifs above Sunneshine Fjord. The runway is 5,000' of 150' wide gravel, and it is lighted and at 1,320' feet ASL. Cape Dyer is now listed as abandoned in the Canada Flight Supplement. It is, however, still there and presumably is still used for access to the North Warning System equipment, which is automated and generally unmanned. The buildings were modeled for this scenery and include a hanagar large enough to accommodate a C-130. Ultimate Terrain is not required as it does not cover northern Canada.

| Peawanuck CYPO / Winisk CYWN - Northern Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Peawanuck is on the bank of the Winisk River, 23 miles upstream from where the river empties into the Hudson Bay just west of James Bay. It has a population of around 240, and was established in 1986 when the original settlement (Winisk) at the mouth of the river was destroyed by a flood. The airport is on a bluff in a corner of the river at 171 feet ASL, with a gravel runway just over 3,500 feet long and aligned 11-29. There is only basic runway lighting, with no ILS, VASI, or PAPI; there is also no apron lighting, or fuel. Service is provided by Air Creebec with connector flights to Moosonee and Timmins, and on to Montreal. A search of their timetable did not provide any information regarding timings but I made the AI flight from Timmins a daily one; it is probably only once or twice a week. There is also a daily private Cessna from Moosonee. Winisk, at the mouth of the river, has another gravel runway which is over 6,000 feet long. There is also a large hangar and to the north the remaining buildings and fuel tanks etc of a Radar Control site which was closed in 1965 after only 7 years of use.

| Sembach Air Base 1990 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This scenery is a representation of Sembach Air Base in the former West Germany during 1990. At the time, Sembach was host to the 66th Electronic Combat Wing, which was responsible for the home-based EC-130H "Compass Call" aircraft of the 43rd Electronic Combat Squadron, and also had in-direct control of the 42nd Electronic Combat Squadron based at RAF Upper Heyford in the U.K. flying the Grumman EF-111A Raven.
The 66th ECW moved into Sembach during 1986, and spent the next six years flying from there. The role of the aircraft was electronic disruption of enemy radio and radar transmissions, to limit the enemies ability to co-ordinate their own forces and also the transmission of propaganda in an attempt to win hearts and minds.
Sembach was also known as Det.1 of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, based at the Twin Bases complex of RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters. The A-10A's of the six squadrons there would regularly deploy to Sembach and other Forward Operating Locations (FOLs) within West Germany, which was a part of their war-time role.
Included in this package are repaints of all six EC-130H's present at Sembach as of April 1990.

File Description:
Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico N18.20.39 W66.45.09 also known as the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center,
National Center for Astronomy and the Ionosphere), is located about 15 km south-southwest of Arecibo, island of Puerto Rico.
It operates through Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (a US government agency). NAIC refers more specifically to the organization that directs both the observatory and the associated laboratories
and the offices of Cornell University. The observatory is equipped with a radio telescope consisting of a 305 meter diameter
single-aperture antenna, the largest in the world up to the entry into service, in September 2016, of the 500 meter FAST radio telescope, located in the province of Guizhou. in China (soon to be realized).
It is mainly used for three large research areas: radio astronomy, atmospheric physics (using both the radio telescope and the observatory Lidar function) and the radar observation of objects in the solar system.
The telescope received further international recognition in 1999, when it began collecting data for the SETI project.Important VFR point for approaching airport of Rafael Hernandez TJBQ and airport Eugenio Maria De Hostos TJMZ.
Within the downloaded package you will find readme files for scenery installation. Good fly VFR. Pasquale Marrulli.

| 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!

| Shea Field CSF7, Casselman Ontario Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Shea Field is a recently-licensed privately-owned grass airfield in Ontario, 25 miles southeast of ottawa, and south of Highway 417. When I visited I was greeeted by the horse, peering around the end of it's stable shed at the corner of apron and runway. I walked over to the house and rang the doorbell and the dog said hello and that exhausted all social contact. The hangar is large but I have no idea what is inside. There was one plane parked on the apron with a skirt of uncut grass so presumably it hasn't flown for a few months. It was a Citabria in what looked like good condition; I don't have a Citabria to park there so I put a Cub. My favourite building is the old barn, leaning to one side as if seeking support for an elbow. To the north there are some farm sheds and grain silos, and to the northwest a tall mast; avoid it. To find the field without a gps follow the 417 and look for the tall mast just west of a major highway wiggle.

| Aerolinas Argentinas (NC) Boeing 737-700WL |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint in the "New Livery" of "Aerolinas Argentinas" for the Kitty Hawk 737-700W. This is a complete file and for FS9 (FS2004). While it may work in FSX, installing it in FSX is done at your own risk. All repainted textures have been formatted in 32 bit and have been 100 % hand painted (other than the flag and Argentina Logo). There is ONE problem with this paint that I am aware of. The belly paint concludes at the front edge of the nacelle lines when it should continue through to the wheel wells. For some reason (brain freeze perhaps) I was unable to get the paint work good enough for presentation and decided to stay with what is. I am working on this problem and (if) I can work it out, I will upload the appropriate fix. In line with that - please read the enclosed Read Me file as well. Installation, Distribution and Contact details for me can be found in the enclosed Kitty Hawk TC Read Me file. Sorry for the lack of realism and I hoe this does not stop you from downloading the work as is. Cheers.
