Real Charts VFR Sectionals: Alaska Pt1
(Category: FS Navigation > Flight Simulator Navigation)
82.25Mb (487 downloads)
Can be used in any flight simulator. Hi-def scans of real VFR aeronautical United States charts, as available for download from the FAA, reduced and formatted in pdf form by me for use with flight sims. Display them in a kneeboard utility,print them, whatever...I like to use fragments of them to make pdfs for different flights, but that is only one way.
If you want to "get real" about navigating in the sim the way it's done in real life, these charts are for you. But you might also just enjoy wandering around, comparing the chart to the world depicted in the sim.
A basic guide for interpreting them is included, as well as tips on how to measure and mark them. Each chart also includes a handy chart legend, a map showing what region it covers, and airspace and frequency information.
If you are unfamiliar with how to use them for navigation, be sure to check out my multi-part tutorial series "Compass, Clock, and Chart", available here at simviation.com.

Tu-16 Badger Package
(Category: FSX > Military)
23.01Mb (9478 downloads)
Tu-16 Badger for FSX.
This is the old ex-payware Alphasim Tu-16 Badger adapted for FSX.
The VC and 2d panel modified so gauges now all show without errors. Panel contains a mix of US and Russian gauges.
But we can now use the classic Russian bomber in FSX.
The aircraft that ultimately evolved into the Tu-16 'Badger' was based upon the Soviet Tu-4, an unlicensed counterfeit of the American B-29 Superfortress. The fuselage and essential systems from the Tu-4 'Bull' were mated to a swept wing and twin jet engines, resulting in the Type 88 prototype. This aircraft first took to the air on April 27, 1952. It fell far short of expectations but was rushed into production anyway. Its performance was eclipsed by the B-47 Stratojet, the USAF counterpart of the time, but the Tu-16 ultimately proved to be a durable airframe and was produced through the 1990's, the final versions being license-built in China.

Visual Navigation for Flight Simulation: Compass, Clock and Chart Part 3
(Category: FS Navigation > Flight Simulator Navigation)
5.44Mb (886 downloads)
For use in any Flight simulator. Part 3 of the tutorial for navigation in ANY real-world-based sim, using real aeronautical charts and only ground-based navaids, or none at all. It will work with any sim, because the program is not run on your computer- it's run between your ears!
Those interested in learning to navigate this way will also want to download my complete set of real US sectionals ("realvfrcharts"), converted to pdf form for use in kneeboard viewers or on a separate display.
In this part, we will fly a simple round-robin flight with no nav or comm radios... in Part 4, we will plan and execute a straight-line flight, mostly over water, using mostly dead reckoning and no in-flight wind or cloud updates.
FS9 is used for the tutorial, but ANY sim that references real-world charts can be used.
