File Description:
P-61B BLACK WIDOW for x-plane 6.4/6.51
The need for a true night fighter aircraft was well demonstrated during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Aircraft used to counter German night attacks were not very effective. At the direction of the Air Corp's Carl A. Spaatz, John Northrop submitted a ground up night fighter design, which, designated as the XP-61, first flew on May 26, 1942. The Black Widow was the first aircraft designed from the ground up as a night fighter. Its innovative slotted flaps and spoiler ailerons allowed operation from short airstrips and improved handling; the radar carried in its nose made it the dominant force in the night skies of Europe and the South Pacific. From July 6, 1944, when it claimed its first victory, to war's end, the P-61 distinguished itself as one of America's most unique fighting machines. After the war, P-61s were used in reconnaissance, weather research, and flight testing. The first American flight ejections were made from a P-61.
Only four P-61 aircraft are known to exist today.

| Farallon Island Chain, Version 4 |
|
File Description:
Beta version 4: Combines North, Middle, and Southeast Farallon Islands into one download. Lighthouse added to Southeast Farallon Island along with the water catchment pad (also serves as helipad). 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. These islands were created as scenery objects instead of traditional terrain in order to preserve detail. The terrace on the Southeast Farallon Island is landable now but the terrain is pretty rough. If you're in Timberwolf Aviation and you're doing the multiplayer session on 03/26/2006, this is the version you should get.

| 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.

| Active ILS Innsbruck, Austria (LOWI) |
|
File Description:
This FSX Airport is more then just a AFX style Airport. As most know the Approach and Final (VMC) for AI Traffic in FSX is a straight in type landing and does not always consider high terrain at airports. This is due to the way that the coding is written in FSX and it puts limits on IFR arriving aircraft. At certain airports the AI Traffic will fly directly through a mountain once it is established on Final for a runway. What you will see with my files is a different type approach used for both the way I control AI and User Airplane Traffic in FSX. No longer do the AI Planes use a straight in approach when landing at LOWI. My AI Aircraft Approach coding for FSX uses a visual offset approach so AI Traffic does not fly through the mountains. The Innsbruck Control Tower will clear all AI Traffic (IFR FP) landing either on RWY 08 or 26 as a straight in landing even though the offset to final is 30 degrees from the runway center line. Read the text file for all the enhancements added to the FSX LOWI Airport along with a full understanding of how the new Approaches work *** Full set of Freeware Approach Charts included ***

| Basler BT-67 repaint textures for Royal Thai Air Force 46-158 in a subdued bluish-gray livery |

File Description:
FSX Basler BT-67 repaint textures for the real world Royal Thai Air Force 46-158.
For the wonderful Jahn-Fuernkaess-Metzger-Naegele BT-67, which you must
have previously installed in FSX. Having worn at least three different
liveries between 2004 and 2010 while in service with the Royal Thai Air Force,
this subdued dark bluish-gray version of 46-158 dates back to Aug. 26, 2004,
the day the photo that this repaint was based on was taken. Although painted
as close to the photograph's colors as my previous eye surgeries allow me to
perceive, I'm tending to believe that the aircraft is actually more gray than blue.
Anyway, the photo can be seen at Airliners.net by entering the photographer's
name, Sakpinit Promthep, into their search engine, so you be the judge! Rumor has it that this
airframe currently resides in pieces in a hangar at Wittman Regional in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, and now affectionately goes by the nickname "44 mag", although I
think I'd have to see that with my own eyes to believe it! Includes engine
exhaust smoke coordinates for all four exhaust stacks for those of you who like
smokey engines. Screenshots enclosed. Easy installation. By Tom Tiedman

| Watson Lake CYQH and CEJ9 in the Yukon Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Watson Lake is at 2,200 feet asl on the east side of the Rockies, in the Yukon Territories. The town is less than five miles north of the border with BC and is built around Wye Lake, just a few miles southeast of the much larger Watson Lake. Whitehorse is some 200 miles to the west, and Fort Nelson 220 miles to the east. The airport was built during WW2 and there remains one surviving original hangar, along with later additions. Unusually, the town of Watson Lake came into being because of the airport's existence, though with the closure of one mine that the airport used to serve and the serial closure of another (closed four times?) both the airport and the town (population 500) are in a downward spiral. The airport is 5 miles to the west of the town. There were two runways, but one is now closed and the remaining one is 08-26, 5,500 feet and 150 feet wide. There are two aprons, the northern one being half-used by CL 415 fire-fighting planes (included in the AI, along with Central Mountain Air). All the buildings for CYQH are modeled specifically, but the CJE9 shed is a guess.

| YMGM Mount Gibson Gold Mine, Western Australia |
|
File Description:
YMGM Mount Gibson Gold Mine (Care and Maintenance - Legend Mining Ltd), started life as a gold mining operation in 1986 following the discovery of gold in outcropping laterite (ironstone). Mining was conducted until 1998, with 95% of ore coming from 14 open pits. The operation produced 870,000 ounces of gold from 16.5Mt of ore at an average grade of 1.68 grams per tonne (g/t). The current gold Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) is 8,754,000 tonnes at an estimated grade of 1.98 g/t gold (559,000 ounces of gold). This resource is not economic at the current gold price. An extensive rehabilitation programme involving the decommissioning of the plant/mill infrastructure is currently being undertaken with a view to reducing environmental bonds.

| High Resolution Region Builder Tool for Elevation |
|
File Description:
GeoTilesViewer25.zip: NEW Version 2.5 11.dec.2002. You will need this tool to apply changes at the elevation structure of a fu3 region. This new version can handle very large region as UK-South.
There are elevation modification uploads on the way for the UK-South region.
To load this updates you will need this tool. The full geotiles.tag file
has 92MB and upload of such a file is not possible. An elevation update needs just 200k
for 1 megatile so it is better to use this tool and the small update files.
You can explore and modify elevation and classification using this tool by
first exporting a map, painting a map with your paint program and then
importing it again. This is an experimental tool and still under construction.
New in Version 2.5 are large region handling, generation of color scale files
an scripts for unattended multiple imports.

| British Columbia Bush Scenery: Grant Narrows & Rambo's Hideout |
|
File Description:
The larger runway at Grant Narrows has a 15 degree bend, and the shorter runway is on a slope that involves an unconventional downhill landing & an uphill take-off (STOL planes only!). Both strips are bumpy, and require Holger Sandmann's mesh of the Lower Mainland of Southern British Columbia (bcmesh9c.zip) for the required effect. A dock is provided down on the lake shore for visitors on floats. The landing strips are fictional, set in an area of wilderness on the shores of Pitt Lake - but only 20 miles from downtown Vancouver. The first Rambo movie was filmed in the hills just to the east in the Golden Ears Provincial Park: if you fly north from Grant Narrows you'll find Rambo's airstrip hideout just a couple of miles past the end of the lake - the real life location of a popular fishing lodge. Also requires Gerrish Gray's trees (trees_v3.zip).
