FS2004 Update 2 for Mike Stone's Consolidated PBY5A . This is my second update for FS 9 of Mike Stone's Consolidated PBY5A (available here). I have redone the flight dynamics because I noticed it stuck when stopped on water, added some float points, a water rudder, changed the water effect, and repositioned the outside air temperature gauge that I missed doing the first time.

FS2004 Sikorsky S-43 Golden Hawaii Update (Corrected). This is a correction for my update for FS 9 of the Sikorsky S-43 of the Golden Hawaii package by Lynn and Bill Lyons(available here). The correction is that I added float points to the outriggers, not just scrape points. This correction includes all the first update had so you only need this one to also have the following: updated flight dynamics, added some float points, and changed the spray effect.s . I have updated the flight dynamics, added some float points, and changed the spray effect. Bob Chicilo. 91K

FS2004 Fairchild F-91 Package: In 1935 Pan American engineers working closely with A. A. Gassner developed this amphibious aircraft that was to be known as the Fairchild F-91. It was an all metal shoulder wing monoplane intended to carry eight passengers. The aircraft featured fully retractable landing gear . While a very attractive airplane only eleven were ever produced with two of those going to the Brazilian subsidiary of Pan American for use on the Amazon River. Two F-91s went to the Japanese Navy for testing and were used as liaison aircraft. The last F-91 produced was purchased by American Millionaire Gar Wood who had it named “Wings of Mercy” and painted in RAF colors. He donated it to the RAF and they sent it to Egypt to perform SAR duties. Model, VC Panel, Panel, flight dynamics & Textures By Chris Herring. 5.9MB

CFS2/FS2002/FS2004 Martin Mariner PBM-3C. The "PBM-3C", with initial rollout in late 1942 and a total of 274 built. It featured greater crew armor protection, twin gun front and dorsal turrets, an improved tail turret that retained a single gun, and the ASV radar and dome, though it appears that not all PBM-3Cs had the radar. Apparently many PBM-3Cs were fitted with an underwing searchlight in the field. By Jim Jacobson. 6.6MB

CFS2/FS2002/FS2004 Martin Mariner X PBM-1 Blue Grey The XPBM-1 prototype first flew on 18 February 1939. It used three-bladed propellers and was initially unarmed, fitted only with dummy turrets. Flight tests showed that the prototype suffered from tail flutter, leading to the redesign of the tail assembly. The flat horizontal tailplane was changed to a distinctive dihedral configuration whose angle matched that of the gull wings. The tailfins remained perpendicular to the horizontal tailplane, giving them an inward cant. The prototype remained in use for armament tests during the war under the designation of "XPBM-1A".
