| "Twenty Thousand Miles in a Flying-boat", by Sir Alan Cobham |
|
File Description:
In 1927, Sir Alan Cobham, pioneer of aerial refuelling and adventuring aviator, undertook a survey flight around Africa. He was accompanied by his wife, Gladys, and four crewmen: Worrall, the second pilot; Green and Conway, engineers; and Bonnett, cameraman.
The aircraft was a Short S.5 Singapore MkI, a twin-engined, single-fin, open cockpit version of the later four-engine, triple-finned, closed-cockpit Singapore MkIII which entered RAF service. There was only ever one MkI and when Cobham completed his journey it was returned to the Air Ministry, who had loaned it to Sir Alan.
The adventurers departed Rochester, on the River Medway, in the morning of 17th. November 1927 and returned in May of 1928,after a trip of over 20,000 air-miles and one which involved numerous trials and tribulations, delays and frustrations.
The book, published in 1931, provides in-depth detail of the flight so what I've done with this package is to create a blog that will provide updates for each day of the journey undertaken by Cobham and crew.

| Weiss Farm Airport (JY24), NJ |
|
File Description:
Located 02 miles W of Allamuchy, New Jersey on 264 acres of land, Weiss Farm Airport is a private turf strip 1800' in length. The published width is 50' but you really have closer to 100' to play with. There are no services offered to transient aircraft but you can start parked next to the barn if you wish to taxi out to the runway. No hard surfaced runway is used to have your terrain mesh set as high as possible the start of Runway 23 is a bit slanted and bumpy so you may want to aim long on your approach. The airport is unlit so daytime VFR operations only are recommended.
Scenery constructed with use of satellite images/streetview/aerial photos - the author has not been there in person. This scenery is meant to be used in conjunction with MegaScenery Earth New York 007. It is not required, but apron use is minimized to allow satellite scenery to show through as much as possible, and objects are placed based on the MSE textures - lack of it may make scenery look out of place.

| FS Recorder 1.3 for FSX |
|
File Description:
FS Recorder is an add-on module available for FS2004 and FSX. It allows recording and playback of flights, similar as the instant replay and video recorder built into FS, but with a lot more features. The recorded flights can be played back either using the user's aircraft or as AI traffic, which allows you to fly formations with yourself. A number of settings allow to customize FS Recorder to your needs. The recorded flights are saved in a binary file format containing flight data and can thus only be played back inside FS. These files are no video files, so it is NOT possible to play them with a video or media player, or to convert them into video files.
Features: recording flights of unlimited length * optional recording and playback of AI traffic * playback of one or multiple recordings as AI traffic * recording new flight during playback as traffic * replay of the last minutes, even if no recording was started * jumping and searching during playback * playback control via keyboard or control window * stop playback at any position to continue manually * loop part of a recording * change playback speed * custom keyboard controls * recorded data is customizable.

File Description:
This is a repaint of the Douglas C-124A in USAF colors. The freeware Douglas C-124 for FSX by Jens Kristensen (JBK) is needed for this repaint.

It was assigned to the 3rd Strategic Support Squadron, or Triple-S, which ferried nuclear devices among Strategic Air Command bases. In 1961 it was redepployed to 305th Troop Carrier Squadron (TCS). Later on in the same year it was assigned to the Tactical Air Command (TAC). Then in March 1962: to 442nd Troop Carrier Wing (TAC), Tinker AFB, OK. In July 1962: To 1502nd Air Transport Wing (MATS), Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Then March 1963: to 1503rd Air Transport Wing (MATS), Tachikawa AB, Japan .

In July 1969 it ended up being assigned to the 3902nd Air Base Wing (SAC), Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Now it is under restoration at the Air Mobility Command Museum, Dover AFB, Delaware. Textures are 32bit DDS. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should also work on FSX, and P3Dv1-3.

| Delco Carousel IV-A for Dreamfleet Boeing 727 v2.2 |
|
File Description:
Delco Carousel IV-A for Dreamfleet 727 v2.2
NEW VERSION - in the previous 2.1 version a wrong set of panel.cfg files had sneaked in. Apart from the fact that this made the author look stupid, these files are harmless and will be overwritten by this new version - do NOT uninstall/remove the previous version prior to installing this one.
Dual INS mockup for all your Dreamfleet 727 v2 cockpits PLUS a TCAS and Transponder set that is fully compatible for online flying! This package includes: dual INS setup which is much more realistic for a 727 than the triple setup previously released (NOTE: the INS gauges are NOT included and need to be downloaded at this website: http://simufly.com/ins/) They come with a neat installer, so no worries. All gauges are now located where they would be in reality, that is on the overhead and next to the wx radar on the forward pedestal as well in the virtual cockpit! Package includes the excellent freeware IVSI embedded TCAS & Transponder by I.L. Hetherington in ALL non-EFIS variants, both 2D and virtual cockpit! Package includes ilhtcaschange.gau by Jose Oliveira. It is now possible to add gauges to the forward pedestal panel even in the virtual cockpit - FMS, GPS, you name it.

| BusyObjects v1.0 |
|
File Description: BusyObjects Version 1.0
The BusyObjects framework is a tool for scenery designers that want to add animated objects to sceneries without having to use dynamic sceneries. It can be used to animate ground vehicles, ships, planes and all other kind of moving objects.
BusyObjects is a technology that exploits a new way of animating objects in static FS2k+ sceneries. It allows you to play animations at varying speeds, begin (and end) animations at any time and have complex path definitions for the animated object. Since the object is rendered at different positions for every frame, the object transformation appears very smooth.

| Rolls Royce Trent 800 Sound Suite |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Following up the release of my all new CF6-80 sounds last weekend, it was only fitting to re-upload my Trent 800 soundset that was lost due to the AVSIM library hack. This is a highly realistic representation of the Rolls Royce Trent 800 turbofan engine, used exclusively on Boeing 777 airliners all over the world. This sound package is intended for use with any designation and thrust rating of the RR Trent 800, from the 875, 877, 884, 890, 892 & 895. Also included are Boeing Triple 7 specific flightdeck warning alerts and overall cockpit ambiance. All of the Trent 800's signature features from the startup and shutdown sequence to the deep buzzing howl and the awesome raw power and noise of the buzzsaw at takeoff thrust is included. Everything has been simulated to the highest level of authenticity for your enjoyment! All of the audio is recorded in high quality stereo PCM at 22.050hz, and has been expertly edited, mixed and compiled by myself. You will not encounter distortion or phasing issues, and because of this, these sounds are fully compatible with FSX even without soundcones. MP3 previews are included in the zip so you can listen for yourself prior to installation. Remember, payware doesn't automatically mean better! So turn up the volume and bass and let these sounds immerse you to an all new level!!
