| Air Canada (New colors) Boeing 757-200 |
|
File Description:
This Boeing 757-200 has been painted with the new Air Canada scheme. Even if the company doesn't own any 757s, I've carefully painted the scheme as precise as I could. The quality of the work is almost as good as “photo real” paint. I've re-mastered almost the whole aircraft except the interior cabin, cargo bay and part of the wings. All the rest of the plane, I mean: the exterior day and night textures and also the entire alpha effect are brand new. Equipped with Rolls Royce engines as Air Canada usually equip most of their fleet. This paint is dedicated to Pascal Mcduff; a good friend of mine who is a flight attendant for Air Canada. I wish him the best luck and experiences. The aircraft model also features; Dynamic shine, Wing view or Virtual Cockpit, Opening Doors & cargo doors, 3d Flight Attendants in the cabin, All normal animations, Realistic FDE, Accurate dimensions, Accurate specifications, Accurate flight performance based on performance charts, Accurate flight performance based on certified pilot input, Full damage profiles for major body locations, flaps, struts, tires and engines.

| Airstrips of South-West France |
|
File Description:
Part two of my "Airstrips of Western Europe" project, these 90+ sceneries are mostly default basic airstrips from FS2004, enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces and aprons as appropriate, to facilitate the activation of lightweight GA AI traffic, primarily over the south-west of France. Hopefully these will allow a degree of continuity between my previous upload (Airstrips of North-West Europe) and the existing freeware releases for Spain and Portugal.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration.
A good number of airfields in this area have been neatly implemented in the "Occitania_VFR" package, so I've not duplicated their work.
Also included are some "bonus" sceneries from further north that weren't included in my previous upload. Just copy them over as appropriate if required.

File Description:
Just a small collection of of ai-enabled airfields, that don't appear to have been implemented by other authors, to further expand my Airstrips of Europe project.
Again, there's no photo-realism here, just a selection of basic 'generic' buildings, more or less accurately sized and placed to reflect the airfield layout as seen on on-line satellite imagery and aerial photography. These buildings have minimal effect on frame-rates, so are ideal for this kind of job. The airfields are aligned as well as possible with the roads etc. in UT Europe and the Genesis Europe mesh, but should mostly be fine in a default installation or other configuration. As before, the files for each airfield can be easily identified by the ICAO code, even if the airfield names vary slightly, so you can pick and choose and mix and match to suit any sceneries you already have, should you so wish. There is no requirement for any other download. Each airfield will exist as a stand-alone entity should you only want a few of them. Please read the rest of this "blurb" in the included text file. There may be some details of note or interest.

| FSX Metal GUI |

File Description:
I designed this for myself to darken the default User Interface for 2 reasons. I have bad eyes that are sensitive to bright objects on the screen, and I like to fly the simulator in the evening hours with the lights turned off in the room. I hope you like my end result.
I also added 2 bonus features. Instead of hearing the Windows/Internet Explorer click sound when you mouse click on a menu item, you now will hear the "Fasten Seatbelts" sound effect. Be sure to back up the original sound "checkc" in case you find the new sound annoying. Secondly, I have included 4 optional Aircraft Viewer images that give the selected aircraft a more airborne look. I will make switching these simple by adding them to the Generic Mod Enabler(JSGME) that I will include in the download.
The look is created using Diamond Plate and Polished Aluminum textures, and modifying the buttons with some more color.
This is Freeware, and I am giving permission to anyone that wants to create their own and upload to any site they wish. I do not wish that you have to mention my name in any credits.

| ENBSeries for FSX |
|
File Description:
CORRECTED VERSION - Accidently included the wrong d3d9.dll in the previous upload, which messes up your textures. This one is the right one. My main goal in adjusting this ENBSeries file was to make sunny days look sunny and dark nights look dark, while maintaining a natural look to all things as much as possible (so no exaggerated bloom effects which you don't see at all in real life) I only changed the BLOOM and the COLOR CORRECTION options, nothing else. I have all the other options turned off anyway, since I don't have a very powerful computer. If you want to change options yourself you can read the 'readme_en.txt' for further information.
I included some screenshots to compare the default lightning to my custom made ENBSeries version (press the ZipDive! button to see them without downloading the whole package)
Install:
- Just copy the d3d9.dll and enbseries.ini to the FSX root folder.
- When in FSX you can press [SHIFT] + [F12] to turn the effect on or off. To remove, simply delete the 2 files from your FSX root folder.

File Description:
If you have ever driven an automobile addon in the FSX scenery, you may have felt
that a few things were missing. If so, try this addon ..... It adds a whole new driving experience.
This version is for Hama's BMW 760li visual model (not included), and adds:
- Accurate max speed, acceleration and braking, according to real-word specs.
- A transmission gearbox: 6-gear Forward, Neutral and Reverse.
- Manual and Automatic gear switching, with kickdown function.
- Revup/down sound, depending on engine RPM (so dependant on speed and transmission gear).
- Accurate steering, at low and high speeds. This includes a non-lineair control of the steering wheel and control axis assignments; both configurable via an .ini file.
- ABS, TractionControl and CruiseControl.
- Several coded "tricks", like: Spinning wheels and "doughnuts" at high throttle in 1st Gear, Drifting/spinning at high speed when steering angle too large, A visual/audible TireSmoke effect if the above applies, Brake lights.
- New engine-RPM and speed gauges.
- A horn (claxon) sound.
For a full description (required downloads, installation, configuration, etc), see
the included README.

| Homer PaHO in Alaska US |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Homer is a mainly GA airfield with rows of open air parking, but it also has scheduled flights, a terminal building, a long (for GA) runway of just under 6,700 feet that is 150 feet wide and aligned 03-21 with VASI on both ends and ILS on 03. So I think we can refer to it as an airport. Plus, at the time of this scenery (around 2010) there were three newly completed hangars on the north apron that I was told were for three companies, Bald Mountain Air service, Maritime Helicopters, and Pathfinder Aviation. I do not know which was for whom, but all three companies are in the helicopter and/or plane charter business. The south apron has a number of hangars and other buildings along it's length, starting at the western end with Smokey Bay Air that has an old control tower on the roof, then the Fire Station, and then Homer Air. I am not aware of who owns what after those first three, except that at the far eastern end there are several garages etc for the airport maintenance equipment. Next to the airport at that end there are a number of boat maintenance companies with boats pulled out of the water; this could not be well replicated due to the airport elevation above the sea level and a misplaced road. The nearby Beluga Lake 5BL float base is also included here, with some AI. The lake height above sea level has been adjusted to cope with too many cliffs intruding into the water; this is an annoying FS9 habit. The Homer scenery is as close to the actual airport as I could make it, while coping with inaccurate coast lines and roads, and grassed areas that could not all be modified for reasons that I will not bore you with. The Spit is a major scenery feature next to the airport, and I have added to this to provide some boats, docks, and nearby buildings etc. Small planes use the adjacent gravel taxi path instead of the runway when back-tracking to take off on runway 21. They only go as far as the path takes them and then u-turn onto the runway and take off. By the way, this airport's AI will function at its best if the prevailing wind makes 03 the runway in use. And I will eventually stop writing 03 and just call it 3, as the US, alone in the world, does not put a zero in front of 01, 02, 03, 04 etc. Just one other thing to note is that all access to the runway is from taxiways A and B; there was (in 2010) no access to the extreme western end of the runway as the taxiway there is marked as out of service pending a needed resurfacing.
If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| Hana Heli-Obstacle Course v2.0 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Hana Airport is a regional airport of the State of Hawaii on the east shore of the island of Maui, 3 NM northwest of the unincorporated town of Hana. The airport covers 119 acres and has one runway. It is primarily a commuter facility used by unscheduled air taxis and general aviation. This scenery is intended as a single/multiplayer helicopter obstacle course where heli pilots can meet to compete, show off, and share their helo skills. Since birdseye (Timm Turner) already did a neat scenery called Hana_Scenery_PHHN (search for "hana" in the HoverControl Downloads), we decided to convert PHHN to a full helicopter training area. Makes a great place for helo pilots to gather to practice and perfect their skills, and challenge other pilots! And keep an eye-out for that Hot Air Balloon, cruising around an altitude of 3000 feet (don't forget to wave at them!). Another unique thing about this scenery is the neighboring islands (Honolulu Intl/Hickam AFB, Bellows AFB, Lanai City, Kahului, Molokai, etc). If you get frustrated during your heli obstacle course training, just take a heading of 275 degrees, and relax at one of the neighboring islands. We also added an Easter Egg - If you set your FS calendar to July 21st, you'll see a large ridge fire up in the hills.

| Graskop Airfield, South Africa |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Graskop Airfield does not appear in the default FS2004, neither is the town included which is a pity as the airfield lies right on the edge of a gorge where bungee jumping and even a Gorge-lift (elevator) or a slide across the gorge can be enjoyed by the adrenaline junkies. Added to this, the airfield (and town of Graskop) is merely 10km from the world famous God's Window (also featured in the film, "The Gods must be Crazy").
This package will add a custom (Gmax & Sketchup) made Graskop Airfield, Mpumalanga, South Africa with photoreal textures and ground textures. The included Landclass file will also add the town.
The small airfield has been recreated with custom true to life models and photoreal textures. While being a very small airfield with only one hangar and a large antenna tower, the importance of the airfield far outweighs its size. The airfield plays a vital role in the fight against wildfires as there are water bombers based at the airfield during critical times. In real life the runway is quite challenging, being sloped quite significantly and very narrow, with a one-way-in one-way-out landing and takeoff procedure. Due to the limits within flightsim, the slope could not be replicated but all the other challenges are there.
The asphalt runway is aligned 15/33 and only 800m long by 8.5m wide and sits at an elevation of 4 854ft.
