File Description:
Re-upload following Avsim hack. Quoting from Wikipedia: "The Yakovlev Yak-52 is a Soviet primary trainer aircraft. It first flew in 1976 and is still being produced in Romania, by Aerostar, they gained manufacturing rights under agreement within COMECON socialist trade organisation now defunct. The Yak-52 was designed originally as an aerobatic trainer for students in the Soviet DOSAAF training organisation. That organisation trained both civilian sport pilots and military pilots.
Since the early 1990s and the fall of the Soviet Union, many Yak 52s have been exported to the west. Of the approximately 1,800 produced to date, most now fly in the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and other western countries.
A descendant of the single-seat competition aerobatic Yakovlev Yak-50, the all-metal Yak-52 is powered by a 360 hp, 9-cylinder radial engine, the Vedeneyev M14P. The aircraft has inverted fuel and oil systems permitting inverted flight for as long as two minutes. The engine drives a two-bladed counter-clockwise rotating, constant-speed, wood and fiberglass laminate propeller.
The tricycle landing gear is fully retractable, but it remains partially-exposed in the retracted position, affording both a useful level of drag in down manoeuvres and a measure of protection should the plane be forced to land "wheels up." Curiously the main wheels retract forward into the slipstream."
It has has been constructed using Gmax v1.2. The aircraft is constructed with as few polygons as possible and with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. The model has six LODs.
As usual, I have made three different textures for the aircraft. These are accurate textures which also includes the actual registration number of the aircraft as this seems to be what many desire to have.
It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Markus Brunner . It is also very flyable as a normal aircraft.

| Mitsubishi G4M1 "Betty" |
|
File Description:
Mitsubishi G4M1 “Betty” twin engined attack aircraft.
Multi res model made with Abacus Flight Sim Design studio version2,
this model is specifically for FS9 (there is/will be a CFS2 version).
The “Betty” was a surprisingly agile aircraft with a long range. Used to
deliver a varied payload, ranging from single torpedo to multiple bombs
it’s mission were many and varied. In truth it was often sent where 4
engined bombers should have flown.
Animations
This model has the usual surface animations, detailed landing gear and
working cowl flaps and also includes the following:
Co pilot directions: In use, it was common practice for the co pilot to
stand on his seat and give the pilot taxiing instructions.
This is reproduced by using SHIFT + E
Action stations can be called by using the SHIFT+E+2 combination. Watch
the crew spring in to action!
Side door and ladder. This is actioned by using whatever combination you
use for concorde nose raise and lower.
Bomb bay: The Betty didn’t have traditional opening and closing bomb bay
doors but a series of different fitted panels depending on what payload was
being carried. This model is represented with a torpedo payload that can be
seen by using the spoiler key /

| Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Castlegar |
|
File Description:
Hi again Flight Simmers. This adventure takes place in the Interior of British Columbia Canada, which is a very rugged and mountainous area. In fact, one of the toughest areas of the World, for any kind of planes to fly regular routes. I flew this route with 2 different airplanes. One with the Dornier and one with the old DC3 Dakota. With the more modern airplane, you can fly in and out of the route in IFR conditions with no problems. But with an aircraft that has a maximum of 500 to 900 Feet per minute rate of climb, you have to fly in VFR condition out of Castlegar to find an area that will allow you to climb to IMC(Instrument Meteorological Conditions) from VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions). The DC3 I flew is by Bill Rambow, Roy Chaffin and Jan Visser. This, folks, is simply the BEST airplane that I have ever seen for MS Flight Sim, since 1982! This airplane and all the necessary scenery for this article can be found at http://wings.ark.com in the Full Throttle directory and probably at the Flight Simulator World web site. A list of all the necessary or nice to have files are listed on these pages.

| 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.

File Description:
Here is my repaint for the amazing Captain Sim/Justflight C-130 Hercules.
Dressed to represent a fictional (for now....) support vehicle to be used by StarChaser Industries Ltd, which started life as an experimental rocket test programme set up by Steve Bennett back in 1992. In 1996 the team successfully launched a 6 mtr (21 ft) rocket, Starchaser 2, which qualified as the largest private civilian rocket ever to be built and flown in Europe. Starchaser Industries was incorporated as a private limited company on 16th December 1998. The company transferred its manufacturing and rocket assembly arm to new premises in Hyde, Cheshire, United Kingdom in January 2001 where a dedicated team of people are currently employed.
MANY, MANY thanks to Matt Shewbridge at STARCHASER INDUSTRIES for his permission and support of this repaint, and the very best of luck for the team for the future, you've got what it takes!
Please take time to visit thier site to see the latest developements etc, www.starchaser.co.uk
if you have what it takes, the oppertunity exists for YOU to become an Astronaut. Please, Please visit.
This is a most fascinating space adventure......and Gene Roddenberry had nothing to do with it!

| TLPC George F. L. Charles Airport Castries, Saint Lucia |
|
File Description:
George F. L. Charles Airport (TLPC) is a small airport in Saint Lucia, mostly serving the caribbean Islands. It is the airport that is situated in the north of the island in the capital city of Castries.
It serves quite a few regional airlines mainly operating turbo props like the dash8, ATR and smaller types, but has handled bigger types in the past such as MD82 (BWIA) and B722 (AMERIJET). Since stopped because of noise complaints. (SIGHS)
This is my first attempt at scenery design. I was motivated to build this scenery because I grew up near the airport and always enjoyed flying in there Whether in real or in the sim.
Since FSX, there`s been no scenery built for it and I could not stand the default scenery. So almost two years ago, not knowing a thing about scenery design and where to start, I embarked on this project. It is by no means perfect, but I think it is better than what is on offer. There are no custom ground textures cause I have not worked it out yet, maybe in a later update. The buildings where all made with Google Sketchup8 free version and converted with ModelConverterX and added to FSX with Instant Scenery 2. ENJOY.

File Description:
HMS Bounty for FS9 - VERSION 1.1 - Built Specifically for FS9 (an FSX version is available) by Milton Shupe, Nigel Richards, Rob Barendregt, Sasha Rieger, and Rob Ibey. Helmsman by Craig "Full" Richardson
HMS Bounty 18th Century Tall Ship square rigger completely wind driven, individually animated and controlled sails, animated flags with direction and wind speeds, animated helm, and Sail Management Window to control all ship functions. Ship responds to wind speeds and direction with yaw, keeling, and pitch depending on sails deployed and yard arm positions. Ambient sounds, variable wind and gale storm sounds, ship's bell, "Salute", anchor weigh/drop all add to immersion.
WILL NOT WORK IN FSX as it contains FS9 specific sim interfaces. NOTE: The latest version of FSUIPC is Required for the HMS Bounty to work. See the manual for link. Note: Realism settings should be set to "Hard" for best Wind Effects.
Version 1.1 upgrades:
1) Even more realistic wind effects on yaw and roll based on the confluence of sails deployed, wind speeds and direction relative to ship heading, yard arms angle to the wind, and ground speed.
2) Tugboat function added.
3) Corrected lights positions.
4) Documentation updates.

Special Thanks to VRS for making such an awesome aricraft to fly in FSX! The scenery I used in the promo pics (NAS FALLON B-17 weapons range) is courtesy of "Blue Sky Scenery".
On a personal note, painting airplanes for FSX has become a hobby of sorts for me during these difficult Covid-19 times, and it is my hope that my latest "Labor of Love" brings some happiness to your day!
Kick the Tires and Light the Fires!

| Lelystad airport_EHLE_FSX_new_layout |
|
File Description:
Because the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team no longer releases a new version for the FSX,
this version has been compiled based on nl2k_v4_EHLE_5 with the permission of the the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team.
- Various buildings have been modelled and items from various sources have been added to the airport.
- The EHLElib.BGL file contains all the items that have been used and the textures are complete.
As a result, the airport can be installed without the use of the installation of the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team.
- The airport is surrounded by more trees than the version nl2k_v4_EHLE_5.
- Lampposts have been added to the highway of the approach path of Runway 23 and parking places.
- By means of Airport Design Editor the airport can be changed.
- In the Effects folder, there are effects that should be added to the FSX (SE) folder.
- In the selection folder you will find two options. One is the choice where the new section is active and two where it is inactive.
By placing a copy of one of these in the scenery folder and deleting it already in the scenery.
It will become active after you restart the flight sim.
Enjoy and Happy flying
Jan Zijlstra from the Netherlands
