These textures came about, because of a brain-wave that struck me. They came out pretty-well to say the least. Please refer to all other 'Read Me' files (excluding 'My Read Me', which is my own) for appropriate credits given.

Remotely fly a Drone (mission aircraft is a Global Hawk) from Vandenberg AFB airport in Lompoc to Edwards AFB airport in Edwards. You will be asked to fly to several airports and spot aircraft as part of this check out flight.

Take off in a Douglas C-54 (DC-4) from Frankfurt/Main airport and deliver badly needed supplies to Tempelhof airport for the people in Berlin. Need to download the C-54.

Alphasim's classic rendition of this essential naval bomber, updated to FSX mdlX format, animations and materials. The largest aircraft ever designed for regular ship-board use, the A3D (A-3B, post 1962 tri-service) was designed by the brilliant Ed Heinemann at Douglas Aircraft. The navy 1949 specification was a demanding document, calling for a ship-board aircraft with medium bomber speed, warload and range. Most manufacturers responded with 120,000 lb behemoths, sea-going B-47's intended to operate from the then un-built super carrier United States. Heinemann thought BuAir had their heads up their auspufrhor's, and designed his bomber to fly off the Essex class ships at 70,000lbs. The rest is history. Huge Bravo_Zulu for Henk, Essex, Arno; and the crew at SOH and FSDevloper With the kind permission and encouragement of Phil at Virtavia.com A large thanks for Bob Chilco for the various flight dynamics and effects updates. Without help and support from these folks, none of this would happen. Works in FSX and P3D.

The ultimate Spitfire development, the Seafire 47 was twice as heavy as the Spitfire I and nearly doubled every other operational parameter of the original, too. A delight in the air, the machine was a bit of a handful coming aboard and not as robust as it's contemporaries. Still, it was every inch a warplane and shouldered the load in the early part of the Korean war. AF Scrub's very sweet FR.47 has a long MSFS lineage, now in FSX native mdlX format, with Scrubby's permission. B-Z, dude! Works in FSX and P3D.

Ever heard of the P-40Q? The ultimate development of the Curtiss Hawks incorporated all the combat lessons of four years of combat. Though reaching 422mph and quite nimble, the Q wasn't any advance over the fighters in production by that time. A couple of Q's found their way into civilian hands as air racers at the '47 Cleveland Air Races, subject of this model, a rather elderly Piglet plane, one of his earliest FS2002 models, I had no idea this aircraft had been modeled. 2016 Update to FSX native materials and animations, an extra USAAF skin and an unmarked re-painter enclosed. Model: Tom 'Piglet' Conrad, conversion and incidental bits by LLS

FSX/Acceleration Transatlantic paddle steamer Great Western. She was the first steam engine ship specially built for Atlantic crossings. It was also the biggest passenger ship at this time. She won the Blue Riband voyage in 1843 for the fastest boat crossing the Atlantic. The FS-model is very detailed and has removeabable sails and stoppable paddle wheels. Twentyone cameras let you explore the whole ship. FSDS 3.5 model and all configurations by Erwin Welker

Entering service in 1943/44, The Seahawk was a huge advance in shipboard seaplanes. Fast, nimble and well armed, this single seat seaplane featured surface search radar provisions, a bomb bay in the float (which leaked, so was fitted with a fuel tank and sealed) and had provisions in the aft fuselage for carrying up to 3 seated personel, or a stretcher. Conversion to FSX native materials and animations, beaching gear added. I know that Paul released the native version years back, but Scrubby's has un-mirrored textures. Model: Paul 'Putt-putt' Clawson, A.F. Scrub and Y.T. See readme for full credits

FSX/P3D McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 Air New Zealand package. Air New Zealand operated 8 DC-10-30 between 1973 until 1982. The last passenger flight being from Hong Kong to Auckland Model and VC by Thomas Ruth. Includes comprehensive VC with working wipers. I included the great textures by Mike Pearson. Added FMC by Garret Smith. Custom packaged and tested in FSX and P3d v 3.4 by Chris Evans

The positions of the gates, the taxiways and the runway are accurate in Google Earth. ILS are 109.1 for 28, and 111.3 for 10. I added the Green 1 taxiway. Rene Scharlach
