| Frontier Airlines Convair 580 v2 |
|
File Description:
This is an update of the great plane by Greg Pepper. Props now display the pitch visually - you can feather the props by pressing and holding Crtl-F2 and watch them rotate. Flaps deploy as proper Fowler flaps (i.e. slide back), and the flap/nacelle joint has been corrected to 45 degree angle. Air stair handrails now deploy realistically. Props have smooth curved edge, corrected right wing misalignment, pointed the rear fuselage, smoothed rear fuselage, and added view blocks in air intakes, prop spinners, main gear wells, and under stairs. Scissors links are added to the gear, the gear retraction cycle has been altered to match video footage, the nose has been
slightly reshaped, antennas have been added, glass has been added to the cockpit, and the airstairs plate reads correctly from the back as well as the front. Nosewheel
now steers with the rudder. Added reflective textures, and it is lit at night, albeit subtly, and the virtual cockpit gauges are lit. Altered Greg's original textures to match photos I had. Corrected blue textures showing on bottom fuselage. Greg has added a smoothed wing root too! Original model, animation, panel & textures by Greg Pepper.
Modifications by Tom Gibson.

File Description:
FSX Aero Commander 520 blank white flyable 'paint kit' texture.
In the absence of a Shupe-Thomas-Folkers AC520 paint kit, here for your
consideration is a mixture of various Andre Folkers Aero Commander 500 and
560/680 paint kit blank texture bits and pieces pasted together, re-sized,
adjusted and detailed in order to form a fairly suitable (and flyable) Aero
Commander 520 blank white 'paint kit' bitmap texture, size 1024 and saved
in 32 bit with no mips. All credit to Andre Folkers for his paint kit
textures. Screenshots enclosed. Easy installation. Assembled by Tom Tiedman.

| Pacific Northwest Airports 1960 |
|
File Description:
We've produced this scenery to provide new GMAX terminals, taxiways, buildings and details as they were around 1960 for Seattle, Washington and Portland and Salem, Oregon. I've also created 34 smaller classic airports in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington then served by airlines. These do not include custom GMAX terminals but use instead a default or addon library object for the terminal, since I did not have photos. Many thanks to Jason, who provided most of the photos and information used in this project, as well as the Jantzen Beach amusement park on an island in the river and most of KPDX except the terminal. Tom created the rest.

| 1962 and 1965 Tokyo Haneda Airport Scenery |
|
File Description:
This scenery represents the international airport of Tokyo in the 1960's, Haneda. This package also removes the modern airport of Narita. There are two versions of the airport in this package, 1962 and 1965. Today, Tokyo International Airport (known to locals as Haneda) is consistently among the five busiest airports in the world. In the early 1960s, it was the only international airport serving the economic recovery of the Japanese capital. The entire airport was upgraded extensively between 1961 and 1964 in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics in October of '64. By 1965, a longer runway 15/33, expanded terminal, and improved ground transportation links were all in use at Haneda (these changes are reflected in the '62 and '65 versions). Terminal and ground details by Aaron Seymour, JAMCO/JAL hangars and AFCAD files by Tom Gibson. Thanks to Wolfgang Gersch for the parking area.

| Hong Kong Kai Tak 1963 |
|
File Description:
This is Kai Tak airport as it was in 1963. Kowloon Bay has yet to be filled in, and the runway is only 8405 ft long. Includes mesh files by Holger Sandmann and charts of the era scanned by Chic Eather. Navaids backdated to the early 60's, except the IGS for runway 13 is included although not actually installed until 1974. Curving approach lights will help you find the runway. Chek Lap Kok airport has been removed. The IGS and other approaches created by Jim Vile. The AI aircraft will follow the curved approach to runway 13 in good weather or bad. Please note that Jim Vile has produced a modern version of this airport (kaitak98.zip).

| DC-7 Green Panel |
|

File Description:
FS2004/FSX Green Panel Conversion. This package converts the gray Cal Classic DC-7/7B/7C panel by Ken Mitchell and Tom Gibson into a dark green version. This panel REQUIRES the original DC-7 panel, available by downloading and installing the United DC-7 at: http://www.calclassic.com/dc7.htm When the Historical Flight Foundation asked Cal Classic (www.calclassic.com) to create an FS version of their newly restored Eastern Douglas DC-7B N836D, Eric repainted his existing EAL DC-7B into an exact replica of their plane (available here as eal_dc7b_n836d_final.zip). But one thing that wasn't done originally was to replicate the dark green cockpit of the plane. This package has been created to do that. Quite a few other DC-7's, DC-7B's, and DC-7C's had dark green panels as well.
