In Essex, seek them all.

Located in the Epping Forest district of Essex is Stapleford Airfield. This is Russ White's first venture into the UK and the first of his series of UK VFR airfields. Stapleford began in the 1930's as Essex Aerodrome and was used by the RAF in the Second World War. Today it is used extensively for pilot training by the Stapleford Flight Centre, a family run business who have been training pilots for over 40 years. Russ has again used his skills to create something special with each building made to look as they appear in real life. You will also be hard pressed to find exactly where the crisp photoreal imagery meets the landclass of FTX England. A testament to the superb work of Russ White!

PC Aviator - Carenado C337 Skymaster HD Series | The FlightSim Store: Boxed Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Aircraft

Now YOU can soar the Flight Simulator skies in this high performance twin turboprop recreated in exacting detail

Get ready to soar the Flight Simulator skies, in one of flight simulations hottest GA Aircraft addons to date, the C337 Skymaster. Widely acclaimed as one of the best GA models yet created for Flight Simulator X and P3D.

The aircraft in this package is modeled after the C337 Skymaster aircraft created in real life by Cessna and is recreated in High Definition detail right down to the last rivet.

The C337 is a unique type of aircraft. It is a "pusher/puller" which two in-line engines that both pull and push the aircraft along simultaneously. This means that if one engine dies, the other takes over and you avoid that nasty yaw and asymmetric thrust/drag issues that plague common multi-engine aircraft with wing-mounted engines.

The C337 model include in this boxed package has been widely acclaimed, and a top-selling aircraft addon since its release. The panel is simply stunning, but equally functional too. This is the perfect touring aircraft and it is extremely stable in flight. This makes it the ideal choice for virtual pilots who love looking out the window as much as they look at their instruments, and a great choice for trainee virtual pilots looking to take the next step up from the default FSX/P3D aircraft offerings.

The 12-page printed manual inside the package gives you detailed performance specs and procedures for flying the C337 and there are many PDFs on the CD featuring checklists and user guides for various equipment such as the GPS and avionics.

The General Aviation Aircraft Collection C337 Skymaster is a great collector's edition, beautifully finished and published by PC Aviator.

INNOVATIVE FEATURES:

Reality XP integration with 3D Gauges. (requires RXP gauge suite - sold separately)

Celebrating Everything We Love About Our Great Southern Land!

FScene - TotalPack - World Coverage (Prepar3D) | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Scenery - Global

THE ULTIMATE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE

The luxury of a stunning new world to fly over

FScene is widely acknowledged by flightsim enthusiasts as a captivating and subtle makeover for the default scenery of Flight Simulator. Once it's installed you'll wonder how you ever flew without it! The software covers a huge swathe of the planet's surface and will transform your simulated flying in all visual seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (and a beautiful snowy 'Strong Winter' season).

Because FScene simply replaces the default textures with a different set, it is fully compatible with all available add-ons for a.o. Mesh, Landclass, Photo-real scenery, Airports, Autogen, Environment, Traffic etc.

Flight Simulator uses a large number of textures to define the ground you see when flying, and are applied according to the type of ground you are flying over - desert, fields, villages, cities, forests, woods and so on. These textures also vary depending on the part of the world you are in (so forests in England, for instance, will look different to forests in Australia) and they also vary according to the seasons of the year.

FScene X provides enhanced replacements for a large proportion of these default textures, to give a much more 3-dimensional visual effect created using shades that are much more realistic for their particular location in the world.
FScene X does not affect the use of add-ons for roads, rivers, traffic, clouds and autogen, since it replaces only the ground textures in Flight Simulator. - FScene X works perfectly with add-on mesh terrain scenery since it replaces the ground textures in Flight Simulator and, just as the default textures will flow to match the ups & downs of the terrain, so will FScene X.
FScene X works perfectly with custom airport sceneries - it will only affect the ground outside the perimeter of airports. All the default airports & any custom ones you have installed will appear exactly as intended.
FScene X is carefully designed to work with the default autogen in Flight Simulator. It also has the added advantage that its enhanced 3D appearance can give the ground a much more 3D appearance even from altitudes where the autogen is no longer visible.
FScene X will not slow down the performance of Flight Simulator. Some of the replacement textures for are even smaller than the default ground textures. You are therefore likely to see an increased level of performance in some areas after installing FScene X.

Because FScene simply replaces the default textures with a different set, it is fully compatible with all available add-ons for a.o. Mesh, Landclass, Photo-real scenery, Airports, Autogen, Environment, Traffic etc.

Hot Download! Dauntless Aviation - SimPlates X Ultra

Take your flight simulator experience to the next level!

Over 70,000 real-world IFR plates, including approach plates, SIDs/STARs, Airport Diagrams, and more. Approach types include ILS, VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, LLZ, SDF, GPS, TACAN, Helicopter, Visual, and more.
Superb coverage: includes virtually every IFR plate for the USA and plates for over 100 countries worldwide.
Complete, Integrated WORLDWIDE Airport/Facilities directory. Features useful information on the vast majority of the world's airports, including many tens of thousands without instrument approaches. Also included as part of this is a fairly comprehensive worldwide directory of NAVAIDs (Navigational Aids) such as VORs and NDBs.
This is a massive collection of data, totaling over 100 gb. Because of the large size, SimPlates Ultra is no longer available on DVD as previous versions of SimPlates were. Rather, SimPlates Ultra programs/apps download content from our servers on an on-demand basis.
Simplates' friendly interface makes it easy to find exactly the plate or information you are looking for quickly, and have it ready for your virtual flight. If you use SimPlates on a PC or Mac, you can print them out. If you use them on a mobile device such as a tablet, you can use it directly from that just as real pilots do more and more.
Remember, SimPlates are ACTUAL IFR PLATES! However, pilots, please avoid all temptation and DO NOT USE THEM FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT. This is because actual IFR plates have relatively short life spans, and thus the plates in SimPlates should be considered expired. However, they are still more than perfectly valid for simulator flying.

Virtavia Re-releases An Old Favourite!

Convair's B-36 Peacemaker was called a 'MegaBomber' when it was first introduced into service on August 28, 1947. An enormous aircraft, it was as complex as it was large. Its 28-cylinder R-4360 engines were the very height of piston technology, and with the addition of the jet pods to later marques to assist with takeoff and top speed, the aircraft became even more complicated. With its 19-foot propellers and six engines, it produced an Earth-shaking drone that could be felt from 40,000 feet. Produced in a wide variety of variants, including unarmed crew trainers, strategic bombers, and reconnaissance bombers, the plane was manufactured for seven years. The last B-36 was delivered on August 18, 1954, and the type was retired altogether on February 12, 1959. It was the end of an era. Click Here.

Orbx Downloads Are Being Updated To Dual FSX / Prepar3D

As you may or may not know, over the coming weeks we will be in the process of updating most of the older Orbx product installers to make them compatible with Prepar3D. As Orbx supplies the installers to us, we will be wrapping and then uploading them to our content servers. Several products have already been updated and email notifications have been sent out to those customers who subscribe to each particular product. It's fantastic to see Orbx taking such an interest in this fantastic new platform.

TSS - F-16 PW-F100 HD Sound Pack for FSX | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FSX Add-Ons - Sound Sets

Turbine Sound Studios proudly presents the HD version of the F-16 PW-F100 sound pack for FSX recorded in HD High definition.

The General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multi-role jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. Although no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

F100-PW-200
The F-16 Fighting Falcon entered service with the F100-200, with only slight differences from the -100. Seeking a way to drive unit costs down the USAF implemented the Alternative Fighter Engine (AFE) program in 1984, under which the engine contract would be awarded through competition. The F-16C/D Block 30/32s were the first to be built with the common engine bay, able to accept the existing engine or the General Electric F110.

Special thanks goes out to the Royal Danish Airforce for all their help and support.

Orbx - FTX: NA WA56 Israel's Farm | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Scenery - North America

Welcome to real grass airstrips! Located fifteen miles west of 3W5 Concrete Muni, WA56 Israel's Farm is a truly delightful destination for the low and slow flyer. This is a private airstrip located on a working farm set in a beautiful valley. The farm and airstrip ooze atmosphere and character and you will be challenged by the landing, where you skim trees, avoid clipping the fence and then stop before you run out of grass.

For the first time in FSX you will be surrounded by a sea of long grass, wildflowers, farm machinery and a reproduction of the location in such detail it's hard to distinguish from original photos. Featuring FTX Aero, tunable scenery complexity via a control panel, an ambient soundscape, a bonus second private airstrip immediately south, and nearly 30 square kilometres of 60cm and 15cm photoreal including a riverscape, this scenery will be the mecca for short field flyers everywhere!

A hidden gem.

This airfield is so well integrated into the Pacific Northwest landclass that you will have trouble locating it using the naked eye alone. We challenge you to do circuits in a low and slow bush plane and nail the approach every time. Alex Goff is the Orbx developer who has made a charming typical southern Washington airfield that is not far from other Orbx classics like Walter Sutton and Stark's Twin Oaks. Using on-site photos and a large photoreal area expertly blended into the surrounds, you will fall in love with the rustic feel of Goheen. Points of interest include an old gas station, nearby farm houses, a quarry, an extensive riverscape, parklands and a large car holding area to the north of the airfield. Add NatureFlow and lots of vegetation for a lovely dirt strip feel!

Rustic rural charm.

Located in Snohomish Washington and snuggled between the Snohomish River and surrounding farms, S43 Harvey Field is the continuation of Heiko Glatthorn and Andreas Hegi's tip of the hat to classic airfields which we all enjoyed in FS2004. This time though, expect their usual seriously amped visuals and fanatical attention to detail this developer duo have now become renowned for. Featuring exquistely modelled houses, hangars, cafe and many other buildings in the precinct, everything has been based on photos taken on-site and there is a distinct feeling of being at the actual airport itself, such is the authenticity of this scenery. S43 also features a large photoreal area with full seasonal support which seamlessly joins their W16 Monroe project.

Team SDB - WWII Scampton FSX | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FSX Add-Ons - Scenery - Europe

Probably most well known of all Bomber Command stations, Scampton is located partly on the site of a First World War landing ground known as Brattleby or Brattleby Cliff. Located four miles north of Lincoln, the first of several airfields built on the rise known as the Lincoln Cliff running north on the west side of the A15, the original station opened in 1916.

With the expansion of the RAF to meet developments in Germany, during the 1930s the Air Ministry turned first to abandoned First World War landing grounds when looking to build the required new airfields. Compulsorily purchased in 1935, work took the best part of two years and the RAF appeared before completion. The camp area was placed in the south-east corner and accessed from the A15 which formed the eastern border of the station. Substantial flat-roofed, brick buildings predominated and four Type C hangars were erected. The weapons stores were further north on the eastern side of the airfield.

The airfield is modelled as it may have looked in 1940 with 49 and 83 Squadrons equipped with Handley Page Hampdens in residence.

In 1940 Scampton was a grass airfield with a hard perimeter track and 'banjo' hardstandings. Hard runways were not laid down until September 1943. The main runway is equipped with a 'flarepath' for night landings.

Coincidently one of 83 Squadron's pilots at Scampton in 1940 was one Guy Penrose Gibson destined to return to Scampton in 1943 as Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson to lead 617 Squadron on the Ruhr dams raid.

An unprototypical NDB is included as an aid to navigation.

Hampden statics of both squadrons are parked on the hardstandings around the airfield.

A simple flight plan is included utilising the included Team SDB Hampden model, which puts one Hampden in the circuit performing Touch and Go landings.

Original Hampden source file by kind permission of Alphasim Ltd extensively reworked by Team SDB as an AI.

Static aircraft paints by Frank Safranek.

Simmers wanting to portray Scampton in it's "Dambusters" days with Lancasters can simply delete the egxp_statics.bgl and the flightplan file and replace with your own.

Team SDB - RAF Wattisham Phantom Era for FSX | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FSX Add-Ons - Scenery - Europe

RAF Wattisham is modelled here as it may have looked during 1980s when 74 Sqn. equipped with F-4J(UK) Phantom II's and 56 Sqn. with FGR-2 Phantom II's were in residence. The airfield is laid out based on research as it may have been circa late 1980s and the technical site and married quarters are typical of the period but not "prototypical" of RAF Wattisham.

The scenery consists of:

Full compliment of hangars and Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS)
Technical site and accommodations representative of the period
Navaids: VOR, NDB, and ILS
Airfield lighting
Street lighting
Night lit buildings
Bloodhound missiles (by Steve Anderson, RAF Airfields)
Phantom FGR-2s and F-4J(UK)s (by Fernando Martinez) are in action over a 24-hr period
Visiting C-130s (Henry Tomkiewicz) depart for RAF Lyneham
Visiting Phantoms from 29 Sqn RAF Coningsby

The scenery is aligned with VFR Photographic Scenery. (But no compatibility is claimed.) The static aircraft and AI densities are scaleable to suit most systems. Note: The AI are not "flyable" and along with the static models may not be compatible with DX10 preview.

Team SDB - RAF Station Goxhill FSX | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FSX Add-Ons - Scenery - Europe

RAF Goxhill opened as a balloon barrage station to protect the Port of Hull and the River Humber. In Jun 1941 it was transfered to 1 Gp of Bomber Command. In Dec 1941 12 Group Fighter Command took over with 616 Sqn moving in. It was handed to United States forces in order to receive new Fighter Group personnel from USA for training. 78th Fighter Group arrived on 1 Dec 1942, although American units had already been using Goxhill for theatre indocrination training since Aug 1942. Flight operations began after 15 Dec 1942 on the arrival of the Group's first P-38G aircraft. After the 78th FG departed to North Africa in support of Operation TORCH in North Africa (from Jan 1943) it re-equipped to the P-47 Thunderbolt and moved to RAF Duxford.

RAF Goxhill was known to the USAAF as 8th Air Force Station No F-345. The station was unofficially known amongst US units based here as "GoatHill".

Fighter Command took over again in Jan 1945 and flying ceased in May 1945. 233 MU Bomb Storage, RAF Maintenance Command took over the site until December 1953. The airfield was sold off in Jan 1962. The 'J'type and 2 'T' type hangars plus some of the wartime buildings survive into the 21st century used now by local industry. The airfield can still be plainly seen in Google Earth.

The scenery is supplied c/w AI P-38 Lightnings by kind permission of David C. Copley. Repainted in 554TFS livery by Frank Safranek.

Dauntless Aviation - SimPlates X Ultra | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Other

Over 70,000 real-world IFR plates, including approach plates, SIDs/STARs, Airport Diagrams, and more. Approach types include ILS, VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, LLZ, SDF, GPS, TACAN, Helicopter, Visual, and more.
Superb coverage: includes virtually every IFR plate for the USA and plates for over 100 countries worldwide.
Complete, Integrated WORLDWIDE Airport/Facilities directory. Features useful information on the vast majority of the world's airports, including many tens of thousands without instrument approaches. Also included as part of this is a fairly comprehensive worldwide directory of NAVAIDs (Navigational Aids) such as VORs and NDBs.
This is a massive collection of data, totaling over 100 gb. Because of the large size, SimPlates Ultra is no longer available on DVD as previous versions of SimPlates were. Rather, SimPlates Ultra programs/apps download content from our servers on an on-demand basis.
Simplates' friendly interface makes it easy to find exactly the plate or information you are looking for quickly, and have it ready for your virtual flight. If you use SimPlates on a PC or Mac, you can print them out. If you use them on a mobile device such as a tablet, you can use it directly from that just as real pilots do more and more.
Remember, SimPlates are ACTUAL IFR PLATES! However, pilots, please avoid all temptation and DO NOT USE THEM FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT. This is because actual IFR plates have relatively short life spans, and thus the plates in SimPlates should be considered expired. However, they are still more than perfectly valid for simulator flying.

Simplates ULTRA (MS-Windows/PC Download Version) Ordering Terms and Conditions (Please Read!)
It is very important that you read and understand the terms and conditions of purchase here, as purchase of this product is strictly non-refundable.

Simplates ULTRA (SimPlates) is a program that works on PCs that have Microsoft Windows™ and compatible operating systems. Because of the large variety of PC and potential incompatibilities with some systems and because purchases of the software are strictly non-returnable, we strongly suggest that you install and try out the Simplates ULTRA DEMO and make sure that it is running to your satisfaction on their PC before purchase. You are welcome to download the demo from here. The demo is technologically the same as the full version -- the only difference is that with the fully activated version, you get access to a much, much larger amount of the in-program data (approach plates, airport diagrams, airport info, SIDs/STARs, and related material)
You must agree to not use this software under any circumstances for any real-world flight-planning or other operational use. This software is NOT for real world flight planning.
The license being sold here is a SINGLE USER, NON-TRANSFERABLE license. What that means is that, after purchase, you will be welcome to download and install the software to your PC for your OWN PERSONAL USE. If you know of friends, colleagues, co-workers, or others who might benefit from this software, please encourage them to download and purchase their own copies.
After your purchase is processed, you will receive, via email, an unlock code. In most cases, this unlock code will arrive in your email inbox within moments of purchase. To activate the software, enter the unlock code and your actual and correct personal information (Name, email, etc) as requested and the demo version will be transformed into the full version. In most cases, unlocking takes mere moments. Should you have difficulties, we have a activation help wizard.. To activate the software, the computer in question must be connected to the Internet and not have any overly aggressive firewall or other security issues that prevent our software from 'seeing' the Internet normally.
The unlocked version of SimPlates ULTRA provides an IMMENSE amount of data - dozens and dozens if not hundreds of gigabytes. This data is stored on our servers and accessed on an as-requested basis. For example, if you request an approach plate in the app, it will contact our servers and the plate will be downloaded to you. Subsequently, that plate will be in the app's cache unless deleted or overwritten. For all practical purposes, this means that the computer where you will run SimPlates ULTRA must be connected to the Internet to use the program - or at least to download new data, which will be the usual mode of operation.
If you have issues, chances are that it is something like your firewall or security 'solution' causing problems.
For technical or other reasons, our servers which provide this data to SimPlates may be briefly unavailable.
SimPlates ULTRA provides an amazing amount of real-world aviation content at a very reasonable price. However, even though we DO include a built-in content update check that will service small, periodic updates to the program data, it is NOT the intention of this app to provide a flight-worthy, always-current, always-up-to-date service. If you wish such a service, please contact a publisher of flight-worthy charts - the last time we checked, the going rate was approximately USD 2000 for a 12-month subscription for worldwide coverage.
If you have any questions whatsoever, we're standing by to help via our helpdesk. Have questions? Ask BEFORE purchase and we will be happy to help as best as we can.

Orbx - FTX: NA KCMW Cushman Meadows | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Scenery - North America

There are few places on Earth more breathtaking than the Olympic Peninsula, the finger of land that separates Washington’s Puget Sound from the Pacific. It’s home to the towering Olympic mountain range, some of the planet’s only temperate rain forests, and vast swaths of wilderness. Though a short flight from the heavily populated Seattle area, nature still reigns supreme here -- and what better way to see it than by air? The tiny Cushman Meadows Airport is a perfect gateway to the wild wonders of the region. Situated on the shores of Lake Cushman, KCMW offers not only a paved runway for wheels, but a safe harbor for float pilots as well. Come in for a landing, tie up at the docks, or park your ride under one of the rustic covered shelters. Down by the lakeside, there’s a lodge with A-frame cabins for the overnighters, and the airport sports a clubhouse diner with one of the best hundred-dollar burgers this side of the Rockies. Come pay us a visit -- it's not fancy, but we guarantee you'll feel right at home..

Just Flight - Traffic 360 - Upgrade from Traffic X | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Traffic

This Traffic 360 Upgrade will update the Download or Boxed editions of Just Flight’s Traffic X add-on to the full Traffic 360 specifications.

Traffic 360 is the latest version in Just Flight’s best-selling Traffic series of AI traffic expansions and is the new benchmark for Artificial Intelligence traffic add-ons.

Traffic 360 features the most realistic worldwide aircraft schedules ever, using data from real-world flight schedules covering the entire globe, and adds over half a million flight plans and over 2,400 individual aircraft variants to your flight simulator environment.

New and updated aircraft include commercial airliners, regional jets and turboprops, business aircraft, GA aircraft, helicopters, military jets and props and - for the first time in the Traffic series - custom airport ground vehicles. Airliners include the mighty A380, 787 and the yet-to-fly A350XWB, and Traffic 360 also includes all the content from Just Flight’s three Traffic X PlusPaks.

With a host of custom utilities and innovative functionality to control and monitor your AI traffic around the globe, this is THE essential addition to your FS world!

NEW FEATURES

NEW! 20 all-new and 40 upgraded aircraft models featuring more detail and higher resolution textures.

NEW! 312 new and updated aircraft liveries, bringing the total number of aircraft variants to 2,420. All the aircraft from Traffic X and the three Traffic X PlusPaks are included!

NEW! Improved detailed animations such as flaps, landing gear, and animated passenger doors on turboprops and small range jets. Turboprops and small jets that do not use the terminal docking jetways are equipped with steps.

NEW! For the first time in the Traffic series we have included custom airport ground traffic in five world regions, including baggage loaders, baggage trucks, pushback tugs, fuel trucks, and police and service vehicles.

NEW! 29 custom sounds for AI aircraft, including reverse thrust on the appropriate aircraft.

NEW! Features the most realistic flight schedules ever! The data is from real-world flight schedules covering the entire globe and over 612,000 flight plans are included for international, national, regional, commuter and cargo flights.

NEW! The enhanced Traffic Control Centre (TCC) lets you apply ChronoTraffic to individual flight plans as well as aircraft and provides the option to select only certain schedules (Military 2012, Summer 2012, Winter 2010, Spring 2012, Summer 2007 and VFR Traffic).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Traffic Control Centre (TCC) lets you easily customise and expand your AI traffic.

Traffic Editor has improved flight planning and greatly enhanced traffic generation features to allow you to easily create new traffic, whether randomly generated traffic or detailed scheduled connections as in the real world. The Editor lets you set up one-way flights and compile flights by region.

Correct identifiers - all flights use their correct aircraft/airline identifiers and tail numbers according to the country of origin.

ChronoTraffic - AI time period selection feature. Every Traffic 360 AI aircraft and flight can now be set to be only operational during a user-defined period of years. In the traffic database you can easily select the year or range of years in which you want the aircraft to appear. This flexible feature means that you can easily see older aircraft such as Concorde or out-of-service airlines, or up-to-date traffic or even future aircraft chosen from the included Traffic 360 aircraft fleets.

Flyable aircraft tool – allows you to make the Traffic 360 AI aircraft flyable (generic cockpits and flight models employed).

Driveable Follow Me car and pushback truck - you can explore the airport from the ground.

Spotty, the plane spotting feature, and the unique Control Tower view let you watch aircraft as they are land, taxi, park and depart as well as listen to their ATC communications.

Control Tower comes in four different sizes from 'Airfield' to 'Large International Airport' and can be placed anywhere in the world. A 2D panel and a complete Tower interior provide everything you need to observe all AI traffic in your area:

Traffic Radar provides information on each AI aircraft in range, including vertical speed and current altitude, bearing and distance, identification and true airspeed
Multifunction display with geographical information, clock showing UTC and local time, weather display including wind speed and direction, pressure readings for QNH and QFE as well as temperature, a COMMS panel, controls to move the view with a simple mouse-click, heading indicators and a light switch for night lighting

Custom sounds to replace the generic FSX default sounds - a total of 29 different sound sets, recorded from real aircraft, provide more variety and more realism thanks to special take-off, landing, thrust reverser sounds and many more. Hear the typical take-off sound of an Airbus 321 or the noisy thrust reversers of a landing Tornado – Traffic 360 is an immersive experience for all the senses!

THE AI AIRCRAFT

Download the Traffic 360 aircraft variant/livery list (PDF)
A complete list of the Traffic 360 aircraft and liveries is available as a PDF - click here to download.

Traffic 360 includes many new and improved custom aircraft models featuring advanced and improved animations, providing high quality models while reducing the impact on frame rates.

Aircraft take advantage of the advanced FSX animation features at airports such as baggage handlers, docking jetways and pushback tugs. These service vehicles will service AI aircraft when they park and, when they are ready to depart, the pushback tug will push the aircraft back off the stand (only operates at stands enabled for this feature by default in FSX).

AI aircraft have numerous detailed animations including animated control surfaces, landing gear, propellers, control surfaces, jet engine fans and doors.

All aircraft are painted in real-world airline liveries, with updated and improved reflective textures and real aircraft registrations. 500 liveries are included for 123 different civil and military aircraft types, giving a total of more than 2,400 aircraft variants:

Team SDB - USS Enterprise for Prepar3D | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Watercraft

Introduction:

The USS Enterprise has the distinction of being both the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the longest aircraft carrier in the world. Launched in 1960 and Commissioned in 1961, it is the oldest vessel still in use in the U.S. Navy Fleet. Known as "Big E", she is due to be decommissioned in 2013 after having served for over 50 years.

Carl Edwards' marketed his rendition of the USS Enterprise through Alphasim (now Virtavia) beginning in 2005. It was available for only a couple of years. Thanks to Carl's generous offer of the source files to Team SDB Scenery and through the expertise of Sylvain Parouty it is now available completely remodeled as a native FSX model designed specifically to take advantage of the newest FSX Acceleration features and to incorporate the changes in the FSX simulator engine.

Team SDB has now successfully tested, adjusted, and repackaged the Enterprise for use as an educational tool with Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D (P3D) simulation software.

TSS - C-5 Galaxy TF-39 HD Sound Pack for FS2004 | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FS2004 Add-Ons - Sound Sets

Turbine Sound Studios proudly presents the HD version of the C-5 Galaxy TF-39 sound pack for FS2004 recorded in HD High definition.

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsize and oversize cargos, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller C-141 Starlifter predecessor, and the later C-17 Globemaster. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.

The C-5 Galaxy had a complicated development; significant cost overruns were experienced and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, fractures in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet were restricted in capability until corrective work was conducted. The C-5M Super Galaxy is an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040.

The C-5 Galaxy has been operated by USAF since 1969. In that time, it has been used to support US military operations in all major contingencies including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan; as well as in support of allies, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and NATO operations in the Gulf War. The C-5 has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and support the US Space Shuttle program run by NASA.
