This takes FS KBT's fantastic P-3 Aerostar and updates it considerably for longer term use in P3Dv4 and newer sims. The model now has updated bump/spec maps, PBR, updated 4k textures, updated sounds, updated auto-smoke effect, updated retardant tank model, other minor lighting and model fixes, And I have included all of the operational liveries flown by the 10 converted airframes flown, for a total of 23 liveries overall to choose from. The P-3 Aerostar is a specially modified P-3A/B Orion by Aero Union Crop for firefighting operations. They converted 9 P-3As and a single P-3B into Aerostars. The type has flown since 1990 and as of 2024 very few still remain airworthy of the original 10. The P-3 Aerostar takes the incredible performance of the P-3 Orion and takes it further by a lightened airframe capable of carrying up to 3,000 US gallons of fire retardant or water, a total payload weighing some 27,000lbs. The Aerostar was cable of quick dispatches flying at a maximum speed of 325 knots if called upon to do so. The Aerostar in turn could be dispatched to anywhere in the United States if need be due to the P-3's fantastic range. They operated across the lower 48 states and Alaska. Aero Union was the primary operator of the platform until the company's closing. The aircraft were revived in a limited basis by Airstrike Firefighters in 2020 and Buffalo Airways. Getting 2 of those airframes flying on fires again in the US. Sadly, it was short lived and the platforms look to be heading for scrap or other purposes. Of the 10 aircraft only 4 are known to be semi-airworthy. This file is for P3Dv4+ only and is a large file due to all of the HD repaints. Original aircraft by FS KBT.

This is the very well done Veneaviones Rockwell AC690B Turbo Commander. Originally released for FS2004. This aircraft was updated by George Arana of Eagle Rotorcraft and myself to update the functionality of this great aircraft for P3Dv4+. The aircraft has updated VC and exterior model with the addition of PBR, and 15 4k textures included. Including a blank white version for repainters. The pack houses only a few stock repaints, the rest are primarily those used in aerial coordination and observation for firefighting roles across the USA, Canada, and Australia. The aircraft themselves for these roles were not modified in any way, except for the addition of a smoke generator. Those wishing to use these as GA aircraft will be pleased to know they are stock aside from that. This pack includes both the straight wing and winglet version of the 690B. I have also included 2 additional models, largely for repainters to have a belly mapped version to allow for repainters to easily add repaints with text on the belly of the 690 if they wish. Being as the aircraft largely remains unchanged minus the cosmetic updates. All of the original FS9/FSX paints can be moved to this aircraft without issue.

This is my second upgrade package for the 'FSX/P3D Cessna 152-F G-BLAX'
Cessna 152 freeware package. Probably this will be my last upgrade for the aircraft.
This is NOT the whole aircraft, it is an update package.
This second version Fix/Upgrade for P3D4+ has some small minor changes
compared to my first fix/Upgrade for the Just Flight C-152 Free.
The first version is not needed anymore as they are in this package as well.
Most noteworthy upgrade now is the rebuild and enhancement of the 32-bits
radio gauges* which now look as the original ones but are now pure XML.
Radio gauges now look the same as in the FSX version as the same bitmaps were used.
Package also contains three liveries, a different sound set, and cockpit sounds.
Hope you like it.
* The first update did contain stock FSX Bendix King radio gauges.

This set of Beechcraft depicts N4001A, an AT-11, and N5552A, a JRB-1. They are outfitted for mosquito control and fly out of Chorman Airport D74. This file provides detailed modified models and textures, focusing on mosquito control missions' unique features and equipment. Please note, that this is an upgrade only and does not include the full original aircraft package by Milton Shupe for either the AT-11 or Beech D18. N5552A was made by Ryan Varjassy and updated by myself, along with my modified model versions of each aircraft. I believe this set will be able to go into any Milton Shupe version of the AT-11 or D18 folder so long as there is the respected panel, sound, and texture folder as well as aircraft.cfg.

The modifications were developed by the maintenance arm of the Conair Group, which became a separate company called Cascade Aerospace.
