TIE Crafts for FSX. Ever wanted TIE's for FSX? Well, now there is! Tested with FSX Gold only, by zachary77. This file uses Rob Barendregt's Spacegauge addon and Captain Slug's models, sounds & paints. See README for more info.

FSX/Acceleration Italian battleship Andrea Doria. This warship and also the Caio Duilio were buildt during World war I. In 1940 the ships were strongly modified in their length, power and armament but three of thirteen 32 cm main guns were removed. Both ships stayed in service until 1950. This addon contains a pilotable version with many animations and an ai-version with reduced parts. The pilotable one has a 2D panel. Twenty three decks views and five external views allows you to explore the detailed boat. The ai-ship is supposed to be used with the great tool ai-carriers2 or for ai-traffic. FSDS 3.5 model and panel made by Erwin Welker.

FSX 19th century brig USS Niagara. The boat was the flaghip for Oliver Hazard Perry during the US War of 1812 and fought in the battle of lake Erie 1814. The ship sunk twice, but not in battle: 1820, then it was raised and sunk again in 1836 and was raised again in 1913. Then Niagara served as historical monument and was displayed on land until the hull went rotten. A reconstruction was buildt in 1988 and the ship is under sail again since 1990. The pilotable Sim-model is almost complete rigged with hundreds of ropes and has thirteen animated guns and one animated boat at the stern. Twenty cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, extra external views and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard or to port and aft seperatly. An ai-model to be used with the great tool Aicarriers2 or for ai-traffic is included. The models should run also in Acceleration but they are not tested. FSDS 3.5 model made by Erwin Welker

This is an update of my Flight Dynamics Tutorial. Most of what is new deals with FSX. Even if you do not want to do Flight Dynamics, this might help you understand what is going on, while flying an aircraft, and/or insight into what is causing a problem you are having with an aircraft.

Fix for the USS Constitution MDL. Accidently a copy of the crewman in the foryard appeared between fore- and mainmast. It seems the guy was hanged. Sorry for that deadly accident! Just replace or overwrite the Model folder. Erwin Welker

FSX Frigate HMS Surprise from the 18th century. This sailing ship is based on the former replic HMS Rose, built in 1970. For the movie "Master and commander", regarding Patrick O'Brian's famous novel, the boat was restorated to a historical replic of a british frigate of the 18th century. Surprise is now at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. The history of the real ship began 1794 as French sloop Unite, captured by the Brits two years later. Renamed 'Surprise', she served successfully until 1802. The Sim-model is almost complete rigged with hundreds of ropes and has fourteen animated guns, six animated stun sails and six unanimated crewmen. Twenty four cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, the lower gun deck and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard and port separately. The model should run in Acceleration and in FS2004 but it is not tested and not completely configured for FS2004.
