| GlassWing: the Visible Biplane (Xp v7.62) |
|
File Description:
Welcome to GlassWing, the most detailed aircraft yet made for X-Plane. It represents a new generation of Xp planes: aircraft modeled mostly outside of PlaneMaker.
GlassWing is a four place, all metal sport biplane made for mountain flying. It offers superb climb rates, very short field capabilities and a high service ceiling. With its transparent skin, every major aircraft component is visible: spars, ribs, hinges and more. Right down to the spark plugs. It is a good visual tool for any flight school. It also shows the relationship between power and trim.
GlassWing can haul almost 700 pounds into remote regions, for scenic and challenging flights. With its 300 horsepower V8 engine, it climbs like a homesick angel and can turn on a dime. Comes with Greg Hofer's Garmin AVD 55 GPS plug in (PC only) for easy navigation. GlassWing is an excellent barnstormer, ribbon cutter, hangar and Tower buzzer.
Join Doug and Allison with their husky dog Sitka, on a weekend camping flight into the hills. Try some real flying: in the mountains, not over them. Land where no one has landed before. A good system with 128 VRAM is recommended for smooth flights. Fly the GlassWing today !

File Description:
Read Installation instructions carefully, this is a complex scenery package!
This package includes a "Dev Kit" should you wish to expand it to other areas! Please contact me if you wish to do so! This is community effort! If we all contribute, we will hopefully have the entire world covered one day!
Welcome to OSM World: Western Europe! This is a vector data scenery package covering the western European area. Coastlines, Rivers, lakes, roads, railways, and power lines with detail never before seen! All in an autogen-compatible density! You can see roundabouts, train terminals, harbor areas in a resolution of a point every 10 meters. At this same resolution a vectorial city class places residential (in small and big building variations, depending on surface area) and industrial areas exactly where they are supposed to be. This gives the city areas a resolution far superior to the capacity of FS-2004 default landclass bitmaps, limited to approximately 1 Km x 1 Km squares. OSM World: Western Europe will even give you small roads leading to small towns (even a few houses across)! From big highway intersections, including ramps, to the tiniest rural pathways covering the entire western area! Wherever in Western Europe you fly, there is something to see!

| Remote Tower Base, Washington State USA |
|
File Description:
Remote Tower Base Operations, Washington State - Airport ID: TOWR (FSX). -
OK, all you Rotorheads - This is a fictional version of a very remote Helicopter landing pad on the Olympic Penn.. You must fly a Helo. I created it for my personal enjoyment and now I am releasing to the public as freeware. I hope you enjoy the "eye-candy". There are multiple radio and fire spotting towers in the area to check out. -
At least it gives you something to travel there for. -
This is an extremely challenging spot to land, especially using real Wx. The landing pad is basically a postage stamp. I created it and have a tough time landing here myself, so have fun with this one. -
You may also go directly to this airport by selecting TOWR as your starting airport. I also added a series of images so you can figure out how to get there from somewhere else. If you have my Wynoochie Lake scenery, its only 6 miles from there. (Just a heads-up) -
Designed with the FS X Sdk Scenery function of the Mission builder, Lee Swordy's AFCAD & the Abacus Scenery shortcut tool. -
This scenery is frame rate friendly.

| FS2004/FSX Boeing 737 Next-Generation (600-900ER) CFMI CFM56-7B Soundpack |
|
File Description:
This sound is intended for use on Project Opensky's models, but they'll work pretty good I am sure on other freeware and payware planes. After month's of hard precision work, I present to you my new realistic and accurate 737NG CFM56-7B soundpack for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and X. The interior sounds are mainly from a passenger perspective. Once you load your aircraft with these sounds, you'll hear the APU System and Fans in the cabin. You hear the humming sound of the CFM56-7B at idle after you have started the engines. You spool up the engines at takeoff then hear the buzzsaw-like sound of the CFM56-7B engine's fans. Once you lift off and put up the landing gear you will hear a chime from the cabin. It features realistic cockpit sounds like the autopilot deactivation sound, stall clicker, overspeed clicker, gear up warning sound buzzer, flaps lever, rolling whine, and touch-down. I am sure that if you are a frequent Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft flyer, or if you're a pilot or flight crew onboard a 737NG aircraft, that you'll pretty impressed by these sounds. Give this soundpack a try, I am sure you won't be disappointed!

| CPR5 - Woodstock - Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a south Ontario series. Woodstock is a town with a population of around 38,000, located 50 miles west of Lake Ontario. The airfield is 3 miles west of the town, with a single grass runway just over 3,000 feet long and 100 plus feet wide, aligned 05/23 in FS9 (in fact it is now 06/24 due to the magnetic north wandering off during the last 10 years). There have been at different times varying amounts of gravel mixed in with the grass on both runway and taxiway; the majority surface by far is grass and I have left it all as such, as there is no visually convincing way to mix the two without unreal sharp edges. The apron is on the northern side of the runway, and is now modified in shape to maximise the area available for crops. There are 10 "T" hangars and a small clubhouse in a single long building. There is no fuel, runway lighting, or taxiway or apron lights so usage is effectively restricted to daylight hours. To the east of CPR5 and on the edge of the town is a private airstrip with 2,800 feet of asphalt runway; I have added this as a visual reference, along with several large grain silos on the other side of the road. Hidden in plain sight amid the surrounding farmland, the first sighting of CPR5 is actually always of the adjacent and far more visible buildings just to the east of the apron, which are owned by a company that deals with everything to do with boats, up to and including fishing gear. These have been included. As ditches cannot be effectively duplicated in FS9 I have included some fences which do not exist in real life, to give some needed visual clues.

| Airstrips East of the Adriatic |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
A collection of about 60 small airfields in Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Serbia & Montenegro, many of which aren't featured in FS2004, each enhanced with taxiways, parking spaces, buildings etc. and aprons as appropriate, to fill in a few gaps to the east of Italy. Most of these airfields are relatively "rural", often little more than a shed and a grass runway in a field, but they allow the generation of lightweight GA AI traffic in this area and into the adjacent countries.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 default roads etc. 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. A few default airfields have had new ICAO codes allocated, in these instances I've provided files to remove the default scenery from the landscape, though the original airfield will still appear on the maps and menu.

| Heinkel P-1079A Night-Fighter |
|
File Description:
Heinkel P-1079, a new twin-jet fighter project of the Heinkel Aircraft Construction Corp. was designed in five variations, all under the same designation.
The first of these advanced designs, the Heinkel P-1078A was basically developed as a two-seated nightfighter. The pilot and the gunner/navigator were sitting in tandem position. The wings were swept back 35 degrees, mounted to mid-fuselage. The tail had a V-shaped rudder. The armament were three Rheinmetall-Borsig MK 108 30mm cannons in the nose and 24 R4-M 'Orkan' high explosive rockets on two racks mounted under the wings. Another feature of armament was the so-called 'schraege musik' with four upward-firing 20 mm Mauser MG 151/20 autocannons, mounted in the back of the aircraft. Therefore, the nightfighter had to approach and attack bombers from below, guided into position by commands from the navigator.
The aircraft should be equipped with the new FUG 228 radar unit. This sophisticated radar would have empowered the aircraft with an almost all-weather ability.
The engines were located in the wing roots. This version should be fitted with two Junkers Jumo 004D turbojet engines with two-stage fuel injector, each with 8.8 kN of power.
The max. speed was about Mach 0.89 = 950kph
The Range 1079.22nm = 1241.9 sm = 2000 km
The max. Service Ceiling was up to 51,000 ft = 15,545m

| Skylab 2 Mission |
|
File Description:
The Skylab space station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA
Kennedy Space Center by a huge Saturn V launch vehicle, the moon
rocket of the Apollo Space Program. Sixty-three seconds after liftoff,
the meteoroid shield--designed also to shade Skylab's workshop
--deployed inadvertently. It was torn from the space station by
atmospheric drag. This event and its effects started a ten-day period
in which Skylab was beset with problems that had to be conquered
before the space station would be safe and habitable for the three
manned periods of its planned eight-month mission.

Epic repair mission which brought Skylab into working order. Included
such great moments as Conrad being flung through space by the whiplash
after heaving on the solar wing just as the debris constraining it
gave way; deployment of a lightweight solar shield, developed in
Houston in one week, which brought the temperatures down to tolerable
levels. With this flight US again took manned spaceflight duration
record.

| Nick's AI Jet Exhaust With Control Gauge |
|
File Description:
Hanging around the airport watching the A-I traffic and chasing A-I jet aircraft just got a little more interesting. Enjoy watching your entire A-I jet fleet as they display engine heat shimmer effects -after- push-back from the terminal and during taxi to the active runway. All the A-I traffic take off displaying a lite, expanding, frame-rate friendly and nicely scaled high throttle heat/exhaust trail FX which remain with the A-I aircraft during its entire flight. To top off the show, the A-I aircraft that are throttled down and landing display no exhaust from the engines! This package also comes with a gauge that allows pilot throttle control of the taxi heat shimmer/full-throttle exhaust FX for the jet aircraft being flown in the sim by the user. This package does NOT interfere with the logo, taxi or wing lights of any aircraft and comes with 5 all new exhaust effects files which can be applied to just about any size private, commercial or military jet. It requires editing/adding lines in the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. The README files include very complete and comprehensive instructions including a quick and easy copy/paste file for all the Microsoft jet aircraft and tutorial on making custom gauges from the one provided. This package completely replaces my original *Nick's Jet Smoke* package and any/all updates for it.

| Global Airways Douglas C-54 |

File Description:
The repaint features Global Airways' N79000, an early production Douglas C-54 (c/n 3058) built at the Douglas factory at Santa Monica, CA, and delivered to the USAAF on February 8, 1943 as 41-37272. In 1946 the Civil Aviation Administration took her over as NC79000. Having been converted to DC-4 standard, she was bought on April 11, 1951 by Eastern Air Lines as N79000 '721'. In May 1955 she was sold and served many users such as Northwest, Transocean and World. In 1960 California Airmotive became the owner of the C-54. During September and October 1960 the C-54 was leased by Global Airways, a company based in Philadelphia, PA, from 1946 to around 1960. (founded by Simon Bolnick and Joseph Raphael; passenger charter operations included fishing and hunting charters to Canada.) In May 1961 the C-54 was sold as D-ADAM to Continentale in Germany. Already in December 1962 Continentale went bankrupt and the aircraft was stored in the open at Hamburg. In July 1963 Aviation Traders (Engineering) Ltd purchased the C-54 for conversion to Carvair car-ferry aircraft. As it turned out, the condition of the C-54 was extremely poor (corrosion on many places on the wing spars) so makeshift repairs were done before the aircraft was ferried to Stansted for its rebuild to Carvair G-ASKN.
Textures only. You will need Jens Kristensen's FS2004 Douglas DC-4 & C-54 (DC4_V30.ZIP). Repaint by Maarten Brouwer.
