File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D 44-81506, owned by David Nock in the UK, registered as G-TDJN, and based at Halfpenny Green airfield. This particular aircraft was originally built for the USAAF in 1944, and in 1951 it was one of a hundred AT-6D's loaned to the RCAF, where it was operated until 1953. The aircraft was then acquired by the Panamanian AF, where it remained until 1967 when it was imported back into the US, at which time it was registered N7231C. David Nock acquired the aircraft in 2009 and had the US-based company Midwest Aero Restorations (noted for their authentic Mustang restorations) perform a full restoration on the aircraft. Completed in 2011, the aircraft won the Reserve Grand Champion WWII award at Oshkosh that year. The aircraft was restored in the authentic markings of AT-6D 43-13048, which was operated as a station hack by the 353rd Fighter Group during WWII, based at Raydon, England. The aircraft was imported into the UK in 2012, where it was re-registered as G-TDJN. Both UK and US registration options are provided with this repaint.

| YMNG - Mangalore Airport - Victoria, Australia |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Mangalore Airport is located in central Victoria, Australia and provides pilot training services and facilities for student pilots.
This airport has been modeled from photographs freely available off the internet. This package has two versions. One is for anyone who has the orbxAU/Blue package installed and the other is for generic fsx landscape. The two options are provided as the blending of the airport into the surrounding scenery is different for each. I have modeled the main terminal building and a couple of buildings close to it and the control tower so as to look something like the actual ones but I have used generic textures in addition to some of my own. All the other buildings are generic ones and chosen for their size and architectural resemblance (albeit rather vague because of the generic library lack of choice) to the actual ones. I have included two hangars of my own but these are not exactly like those at the actual airport but
are similar in size and shape. This means that the overall layout reflects the actual airport but
the finer detail does not. In any event its an improvement on what came with the default version.

| RAF Bodney - Norfolk, England |
|
File Description:
Originally built as an RAF Bomber Command station the airfield was grass-surfaced and located on slightly rolling land with a hard surface perimeter track.
Initially it was used by aircraft of No. 21 Squadron RAF and No. 82 Squadron RAF (No. 2 Group) Bomber Command. They carried operations over France and later the Netherlands and even Norway. Their Bristol Blenheim IVs were joined on occasions by, in May 1941, 90 Squadron evaluating its new Boeing Fortress Mk 1s some Handley Page Hampdens for mining operations. 90 Squadron suffered heavy casualties and the use of the Fortress I was discontinued. Towards October 1942, the Blenheims were changed to Lockheed Venturas but the squadron moved on to RAF Methwold before the Venturas were operational.
RAF Bodney was transferred to the United States Army Air Forces in the summer of 1943. Placed under the jurisdiction of VIII Fighter Command of Eighth Air Force, it was primarily the home of the 352d Fighter Group, the "Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney". The unit briefly moved to Belgium in January 1945 due to the Battle of the Bulge, although it returned in April. It was closed after the 352d returned to the United States in November.

| B29 Superfortress |
|
File Description:
The Boeing B-29 was designed in 1940 as an eventual replacement for the B-17 and B-24. The first one built made its maiden flight on September 21, 1942. In December 1943 it was decided not to use the B-29 in the European Theater, thereby permitting the airplane to be sent to the Pacific area where its great range made it particularly suited for the long over-water flight required to attack the Japanese homeland from bases in China. During the last two months of 1944, B-29s began operating against Japan from the islands of Saipan, Guam and Tinian. With the advent of the conflict in Korea in June 1950, the B-29 was once again thrust into battle. For the next several years it was effectively used for attacking targets in North Korea. The B-29, named Enola Gay is the airplane from which the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in August, 1945.

| Sukhoi Su-9 'Fishpot-B' |
|
File Description:
The Sukhoi Su-9 'Fishpot-B' was the Su-7's interceptor counterpart, serving exclusively with the Soviet IA-PVO (air defence force). The tailed delta Su-9 was generally similar in configuration to the MiG-21, though larger and heavier.
This aircraft was never exported outside the Soviet Union, and saw
active duty for only a comparitively brief period before other aircraft developments moved the Su-9 into second line service.
The Su-11 all-weather interceptor was a refinement of the Su-9 with a new engine, new radar and improved armament. The Sukhoi 'FISHPOT' was withdrawn from Soviet service around 1980.
The Su-9 prototype was the T-3 experimental aircraft that had its maiden flight on May 26, 1956. About 1,000 Su-9s and a number of training two-seaters were produced until 1962. The Su-9 was added into the Soviet Air Defence Service inventory in October 1960 and remained in service until the end of 1970s.
About 30 air regiments were armed with Su-9, including 3 regiments in the Moscow Air Defence Region.
The Su-9 took part in interceptions of ultra high flying USAF U-2 reconnaissance aircraft in the early 60's.

| KCMI Update for KCMI Willard airport in Champaign, IL |
|
File Description:
I have made a few changes to parking lot lights and some movement of objects.
This update should have the previous version of kcmi_willard.zip installed already to work..
At request of different people. I have made three different levels of display for KCMI Willard Airport located in Champaign, IL.
To add the new scenery file to your KCMI just install and override the original Scenery folder in the KCMI Folder.
Then to select the level of display I have numerous settings that can be changed.
To change the level of vehicles seen chose one of the following.
KCMI_Vehicles_low.xxx
KCMI_Vehicles_med.xxx
KCMI_Vehicles_high.bgl
The default is the KCMI_Vehicles_high.bgl setting.
If you computer can not handle this high setting, just change KCMI_Vehicles_high.bgl to KCMI_Vehicles_high.xxx
Then change either KCMI_Vehicles_low.xxx or KCMI_Vehicles_med.xxx
By just changing the xxx to bgl
At the low setting, only a few vehicles will be seen.
___________________________________
Also you can change the following bgl files to see how they look also.
KCMI_Power Poles.bgl to KCMI_Power Poles.xxx will eliminate the power lines.
static-planes.bgl to static-planes.xxx will eliminate the two large planes at the corners of the runway.
KCMI_Maintenance.bgl to KCMI_Maintenance.xxx will eliminate related maintenance equipment of the two large planes.
____________________
Then restart your FS9 and it will apply the changes...

| Advanced Radar System (ARS) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This Advanced Radar System (ARS) Version 1.0 displays AI traffic of FSX in a range of
5, 10, 20, and 40 miles.The ARS contains an AI tracking function, which allows you
to follow a selected AI automatically in terms of course and speed. In this mode
the ARS is coupled with the autopilot of your aircraft. The ARS feeds the
autopilot with the AI heading and speed data. The tracking mode can be
switched on or off.
An air fuel gauge is included in the ARS package also, which allows you to
perform an air re-fuel procedure for your aircraft. A air refueling can be done
from each AI aircraft if you have decided to use it as your tanker. The decision
will be done via a select function from the ARS panel and in addition via a
dedicated activation on the air fuel panel.For installation, look at the ARS_DOC folder.
(the folder is now included in the zip !!!!!!!!!! It was not in the previous upload. Sorry!)

| Aeroflot Russian Airlines Fleet Pack 5 |
|
File Description:
Aeroflot began in March 1923 as Dobrolet with a mixed fleet of De Havilland, Vickers, Junkers and other aircraft. Dobrolet merged into Dobroflot in 1929 and flew all services within Russia. By 1932 the airline was called Aeroflot. After the second world war international sevices began. At one stage Aeroflot had a massive fleet of over 7,500 aircraft although this fleet was pretty much ALL the civilian aircraft in the former Soviet Union. Aeroflot began the world's first sustained jet airline service using Tupolev Tu-104 'Camel' jets (developed from the Tu-16 'Badger' bomber) on an extensive internal route network from the summer of 1955. The Tu-104 saw service until the mid-1970s. After the breakup of the Soviet Union Aeroflot broke up into lots of smaller carriers and became known as Aerflot - Russian International Airlines. Aeroflot began using leased Boeing 767s and 737-400s alongside the older soviet types and with a revised livery. The Russian flag replaced the Red Flag. Airline history supplied by http://airlines.afriqonline.com. The fifth release contains the Aeroflot ANTK Tupolev TU-154M aircraft. Contents of the packs include only textures. Aircraft model is by PAI and can be obtained at the associated sites. These packages support MRAI fightplans for WI04. Repaints are by Frank Bass.

| Lake Hood LHD and Z41 in Anchorage Alaska UPDATED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version that is complete in itself and which greatly upgrades Lake Hood Airstrip Z41 and also makes minor modifications to LHD. Lake Hood is right next door and to the north of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, and there is a second airfield on the north side of the lake called Lake Hood Airstrip. The airstrip is coded Z41, the International is PANC, and Lake Hood itself is LHD. You will need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada for this to work, and you should also download and install Anchorage International (verson 4?) by William Morgan of FRFStudio. LHD/Z41 includes a fair proportion of the 780 float planes that are based there and which make Lake Hood the largest and busiest float plane base in the world, averaging 190 flights per day during the year and a lot more than that per day during the summer months. There is fuel at two places on the lake, and a lot of maintenance help available. The documentation showing the VFR routes to Lake Hood is also included in the Lake Hood VFR procedures folder, and basically, if you listen to the ATC chatter, planes either route via the Ball Park or the Gravel Pit, which gets abbreviated to something like "You want the park or the gravel?" which wouldn't mean a whole lot to an unrehearsed stranger. Unfortunately FS doesn't reach that level of sophistication, but you can still take the right route. There is a google marked map showing the locations of the checkpoints.

| Quesnel CYQZ in British Columbia, Canada |
|
File Description:
Quesnel is around 65 miles south of Prince George, at the junction of the Fraser and Quesnel Rivers. It has a population of less than 10,000 and is reliant on the timber industry and tourism (hiking, canoeing, fishing, hunting) in the surrounding area for it's income. The date for this scenery is, once again, around 2010. The airport is on the northern edge of the town and has a runway of 5,500 feet aligned 13-31 with PAPI at both ends. Because of the surrounding terrain runway 13 has a right hand VFR circuit. Parking for GA aircraft is organised by the Quesnel Flying Club in a grassed area adjacent to the concrete and asphalt apron. Also adjacent to the apron is the extraordinary terminal building, and next to that is the comparatively very ordinary building that houses the flying club. There are the usual airfield and plane maintenance buildings, and at the southern end of the runway two private hangars. There is also a Fire Base housing personnel that either drive from the base or fly by helicopter to deal with local forest fires at ground level. The AI included here is for Central Mountain Air and GA. I added to and adjusted the CYXS AI so that there are GA flights between CYXS and CYQZ, so just replace your current CYXS AI with this new one. Please email me if you find faults, such as a plane without textures. Note my newish email address at the end of these notes.
