| NY-New York City, Central Park Area Terrain Mesh (10m) |
|
File Description: Take a break and enjoy Sunday afternoon in the park. This high resolution mesh demonstrates the amount of detail FS2002 is able to display. But you will not see any improvement in the park if you are still using the default value of TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19 (in the [TERRAIN] section) of your fs2002.cfg file! This value is adequate for the default mesh, but will not display all the additional detail available in mesh constructed from 30m or better source data. I recommend a value of 21 for the most detail, but a value of 20 may be preferable if FPS is a serious problem. Hop in your favorite helicopter, depart from La Guardia (KLGA) airport, and head west toward the city. (If you are new to helicopters, set your Aircraft realism to Easy and turn off Crash Detection while getting started - and relax in this scenic park!)

| Albuquerque Sectional Chart |
|
File Description:
Fly eastbound from Phoenix and visit Area 51 and Roswell (where SETI was "born"), Alamogordo, White Sands National Monument, Trinity Site (where the Manhattan Project tested the first nuclear device), Albuquerque (the state´s capital city), Lincoln County (where Billy the Kid was shot), the Mescalero Reservation (great skiing at Sierra Blanca south of the White Mountain Wilderness Area) and Capitan, Birthplace of Smokey the Bear. Flying VFR in this kind of countryside isn´t easy, as there aren´t all that many landmarks to rely on. Maybe this chart is of some assistance to you. You may use it "as is" without any other software, but it will develop its full potential if used as moving map with SimSystem´s FSFlightMax or FSGarmin. It wouldn´t have been possible to offer this chart without Richard Harvey and his love to flightsimming, so please consider this file to be "donationware" and make a however small contribution to the Richard Harvey Endowed Scholarship.

| Las Vegas Sectional Chart |
|
File Description:
If you plan a virtual flight to some of the States´ most beautiful National Parks, this chart is for you. The 5300*4200 pixel chart merges the front and back of the Las Vegas sectional and covers Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, Lake Mead, Marble Canyon... The desert states have a lot to offer! Take off from Richard "Georender" Goldstein´s Escalante and aim for Hurricane, at Bryce Canyon (KBCE) you may have a soft drink and practice high altitude take-offs and landings. While it can be used "as is" without any other software, it will develop its full potential if used as moving map with SimSystem´s FSFlightMax or FSGarmin. It wouldn´t have been possible to offer this chart without Richard Harvey and his love to flightsimming, so please consider this file to be "donationware" and make a however small contribution to the Richard Harvey Endowed Scholarship.

| Standard Proposal for Addon Packaging and Information |
|
File Description:
Both, the number of addons to FS-2002 and the number of new addicts of this hobby is increasing dramatically. And with this number increasing, also the user's struggles to install these addons properly increase more and more. As the being the developer of FS Addon Manager, a new addon management software, I have got a sufficient insight in this problem. So I develop an open standard, which will make it easier for users to install addons manually. But more importantly it enables new great features in software products. And addon libraries may take advantage of the information provided, to better declare the available addons to their visitors.
In the name of all people sharing our beautiful hobby, I invite all addon developers and addon libraries to discuss and adhere to this standard proposal. The potential offered for the future by such a standard is really worth it and make the users enjoy their hobby much more than ever before.

| Franks Updated Scenery Items - Part 1 |
|
File Description:
These files contain GMAX designed scenery items for use in FS2004 utilizing the new FS2004 BGLComp SDK.
The true inspiration for these designs comes from Frank Betts over at Franks Hangar (http://www.flightsimsetc.dhs.org/) who originally designed these items as macros for use with Airport and FSSC programs. Frank was gracious enough to allow me to redesign them in GMAX for use in FS2004 and beyond. While I may have taken some 'artistic license' on a few items, they are basically identical to those designed by Frank. Most use the identical textures designed with Franks macros, but a few additional custom textures were added.
All files also contain the original GMAX source files, so if you feel the need to alter or improve the fies, please feel free to do so. All I ask is that you share your improvements with the FS world as freeware.
This is Part 1 of a series of files that will eventually update all of Franks macros to GMAX files.

| KNIL-ML P-51K N3-609 (early livery) |
|
File Description:
N3-609 was delivered to the Dutch East Indies Army (Air Forces) om 9 May 1945 and assigned to the yellow patrol of Nr.121 Squadron.
A year later the aircraft was moved from their original base in Australia at Bundaberg to Tjililitan (near Batavia, now Jakarta) in the Dutch East Indies (what it now Indonesia) for use against separatists.
The aircraft was later renumbered H-309 when the Dutch armed forces introduced a standard numbering scheme for all aircraft (which is still in use today).
At the independence of Indonesia the aircraft was handed over the the newly formed Indonesian airforce (AURI, now TNI-AU) where she entered service as F-309.
This livery is typical for the first period, later the Dutch flags were replaced by the now familiar Dutch roundels and the registration number moved from its position on nose and tail to a single large number on the rear fuselage.
This livery required the Wings Of Power P-51D to be installed.

| Lost Horn Ranch |
|
File Description:
This is Lost Horn Ranch (FA80) a small farm strip located in South Florida near Ochopee. The location is well placed to reach the west and Gulf coasts and not too far from the Keys. The strip exists in the default FS9. This scenery is fiction and tries to depict a small farm strip in the 1930s. The inspiration to make this was Golden Wings 3 (developed by Bill and Lynn Lyons and the Golden Wings Gang). Hopefully everything looks more or less in keeping with the period prior to WWII. If something stands out then let me know and I will do something about it. The scenery is a work in progress. I plan to add to it over the coming months including some outlying buildings etc and maybe another farm strip or two. I have in mind to create enough visual reference points across Florida so that pilots may fly VFR using them. In the meantime please accept my apologies for any rough edges.

| Cambrian Airways Douglas DC3's |
|
File Description:
Cambrian Airways roots extend back to 1935 when Cambrian Air Services was founded at Pengham Moor airfield, Cardiff to provide flight training and pleasure flights. Operations were suspended upon the outbreak of war in 1939 but resumed again in January 1946. Operations grew steadily and DH Rapide and Dove aircraft were added to the fleet. A move to Rhoose Airport in 1954 allowed Cambrian to consider the purchase of larger aircraft. In November 1954, the first Dakota was delivered with the second arriving in January 1955. With the introduction of Dakotas, Cambrian Air Services changed its name to Cambrian Airways in May 1955. Over the years Cambrian owned ten different DC3's having a maximum of eight of the type on fleet at any one time and six remained in service with them until the type was retired in 1969. This set of repaints shows seven of the different airfames in five different liveries that were used during Cambrian's operation of the type.

| SplashSpinner v1.0 - Splashscreen Randomizer |
|
File Description:
SplashSpinner v1.0 – A Flight Simulator splash screen randomizer
This program will allow you to see a different splashscreen in Flight Simulator each time you load it. The program should work with ANY release of Microsoft® Flight Simulator that uses the splashscreen called “dlgsplash.bmp” located in the “uires” folder of the main Flight Simulator directory. Versions beyond FSX won’t automatically run the Flight Simulator program but if everything else is the same it should randomize the splash anyway. On first run, you'll pick what folder Flight Simulator is in. After that it will run, randomize and load Flight Simulator automatically. You can use this program as a shortcut for whichever version of Flight Simulator you have. You should also be able to use this same program on multiple versions. After install just copy the SplashSpinner folder to a new name and delete the SplashSpinner.config file.
The program may require Microsoft .net v1.11 or greater to be installed on your computer.
