| South Farallon Islands |
|
File Description:
These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands.
Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city.
Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey.
This island is actually a scenery object. As such it doesn't have a landable surface. Future versions will have a helicopter pad.

| Worcester Regional Airport |
|
File Description:
I have re-created Worcester Regional Airportt (KORH) located in Worcester, Massachusetts as accurately as possible. I have altered the apron extensively in order to match that of the real life Worcester Regional. The airport now contains cargo parking, general aviation parking, and two small aircraft gates. A tower view for the airport has been added. The old runway, now turned into taxiway "F" has been added with a small piece "hanging" off the east side of the apron. All edges off the apron have been accuartely designed to follow the real life apron. Worcester Regional Airport does not recieve regularily scheduled servcice from airlines. The last airline to fly to the airport was US Airways, who ceased operations at Worcester in Febuary, 2003. Although, you can fly into Worcester Regional all you'd like, thats the beauty of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

| HUD Parameters for FSX |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
HUD_Parameters.lua is a Lua script that displays flight parameters in a small text window that pops up when the script is selected by an assigned key or button if the aircraft is in the air.
Parameters displayed are:
• Indicated Airspeed (IAS. Kts)
• True Airspeed (TAS, Kts)
• Ground Speed (GS, Kts)
• Mach# (when above a user settable altitude, currently 25000ft)
• Altitude (ALT, ft)
• Radio Altitude (RA, ft)
• Vertical Speed (VS, ft/min)
• Vertical Speed per Nautical Mile (VS/NM, ft/NM)
• Attitude Indicator pitch (AI, degrees)
• Flight Path Angle (FPA, degrees)
The top of the script contains user settable values for the size and location of the display, the altitude above which the a/c Mach# will be displayed (default is 25000ft), the data update interval in milliseconds (default is 2000),
and whether or not data is to be logged in HUD_Parameters.log (default is 0, off). These values can be set using a text editor like NotePad.
A registered copy of FSUIPC is required to execute the Lua script. Simply copy the script to the Modules folder of FSX and use FSUIPC4 to assign a key, button or switch to toggle the script on and off.
The script turns off if the aircraft is on the ground.

| Lockheed P-38L Italian Air Force 3 Stormo 3-12 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the MIlviz P-38L, representing P-38L MM4260 3-21 as flown by the 3 Stormo of the Italian Air Force. After the war, Italy received 120 P-38s in an agreement dated April, 1946. Those heavy fighters, mainly P-38Ls, but also F-5s, were put in service in 4 Stormo. They flew reconnaissance missions over the Balkans, as well as ground attack, naval cooperation and air superiority missions. Delivered after a one-month refurbishing, they finally were all sent to AMI not before 1952. Other wings, like 3 Stormo, used the P-38 as well. Due at the big dimensions of this fighter, the old engines and pilot error, a very high number of P-38s, sadly, were lost in accidents. At least 30 crashes of P-38s in Italian service claimed a number of victims. Despite this, many Italian pilots liked the fighter, due to its excellent visibility on the ground and its stability at take off. Finally, P-38s were phased-out in 1956. Today, no Italian P-38s survive, nor even a single component from one, as these aircraft, with the value of light alloys, were quickly dismantled. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Milviz.

| RNAS Twatt (HMS Tern) |
|
File Description:
Opened on the 1 April 1941 RNAS (HMS Tern) was used throughout the second world war by various Sqns of the Royal Navy undergoing training.
The station had 4 concrete runways with various hangers and the usual building associated with a military base. It was also the first unit in the UK to experience a helicopter crash when a Sikorsky helicopter getting ready for take off; hit a parked Blenheim.
The UK and Iceland where involved in what was called the cod wars in the early 1970s, and NATO was concerned that it would have to remove its bases from Iceland should the dispute escalate between the 2 countries and there was talk of Twatt becoming a NATO base. However, this did not happen and the idea was dropped.
There was also talk of the unit becoming a base for helicopters supporting the oil industry, however, as a result of the drop in oil prices during the 80s that idea was also dropped.
Most of the airfield has been returned to farming now with only the unique Control Tower and a handful of other building remaining.

| Metro Oakland with Active Crosswind Runways |
|
File Description:
A high spec AFCAD2 for the FS2004 Metro Oakland Int'l Airport (KOAK) scenery by the Mach-1 Design Group. This afcad has been built using FAA Charts, various aerial photographs and information from the Airport Website. All taxiways are named and all aprons are reworked to be as real as possible according to photos. All gates are named and have airlines assigned to them. As per real life, only Southwest Airlines will use Terminal 2, all other airlines being allocated to Terminal 1. The Fedex and UPS aprons are represented and can accomodate many cargo aircraft. The final parking area is random GA parking to the north of the airport. Overflow parking is also available for rush hour periods. This airport features a tower view and also night and approach lighting. Finally, by using the crosswind runway technique, runways 9L/27R, 9R/27L and 11/29 can all be used simultaniously for take-off and landing. Runway 15/33 is closed as it is not used in real life. An extra taxiway "Zulu" has been added (not real life) to avoid AI conflicts when using runway 29 for Takeoffs and landings. Enjoy!! Requires that you install m1dg_oak2007.zip from this site.

| CYQU - Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Grande Prairie is at 2,195 feet asl, 65 miles southeast of Dawsons Creek, 90 miles southwest of Peace River and around 60 miles east of the Rockies. The town has a population of 55,000 and growing. The airport is just to the west of the town and was originally a military base, built during WW2. The two runways are 07-25 and 11-29 and when one is the active runway then the other is used as a taxiway. AI in FS9 doesn't like this, and just stops at the first hold short without ever reaching the active runway. I have found a way to overcome this and AI will now use taxiway A and whichever runway is inactive to feed to and from both ends of the active runway. The vertical red tanks are for de-icing fluid; de-icing is carried out before take-off in the winter. The industrial area to the southeast is now larger than I have made it, but I kept it to this minimum size to keep frame rates down. All the buildings are modeled specifically for CYQU. The AI includes Westjet, Air Canada Jazz, and others as listed. The GA AI uses only FS9 standard aircraft.

| SSJA Joaçaba, Brazil |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Googly scenery for SSJA Joaçaba - a small domestic airport
in the state of Santa Caterina, Brazil, that is poorly provided for in Flight
Simulator 2004. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons, buildings and other
airport features, so that you and your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park and
take off in a realistic manner.
The small but prosperous city of Joaçaba was originally established in 1917 as
Cruzeiro and later known as Limeira and Cruzeiro do Sol, but in 1943 adopted
the current name following the introduction of legislation prohibiting cities
in Brazil using the same name - not a bad idea really. Joaçaba has a high
quality medical centre serving the state of Santa Caterina and a renowned
university which both bring traffic to the airport which is served by mainly
by LET410 aircraft of local airline NHT Linhas Aéreas.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look exactly like the real thing.

File Description:
Googly scenery for VGEG Chittagong/Shah Amanat International (known as M A
Hannan until 2005) - an important airport in Bangladesh that is poorly provided
for in Flight Simulator 2004. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons,
buildings and other airport features, including the military area at the north
end and the general aviation ramps, so that you and your "AI" traffic can land,
taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner.
The city of Chittagong and its port are served regularly by jets ranging in size
from the Fokker 28 to the Douglas DC10 from operators like Air Arabia, Air Asia,
Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Oman Air, Thai Airways International, and turboprops of
GMG Airlines, United Airways and Zoom Airways.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.

File Description:
Googly scenery for HCMI Berbera, Somalia - an airport largely overlooked in
Flight Simulator 2004 with just a runway and tower provided at what is actually
the country's largest airport. At one time it had two active runways and a
strong military presence but today activity is limited to occasional
civilian flights. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons, buildings and
other airport features (and remove the non-existent tower that Microsoft
put there) so that you and your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park and take
off in a realistic manner. This desert-surrounded airport is served three times per week by Douglas DC-9 jets of Kenyan airline African Express Airways.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look like the real thing.
