This is the fantastic Douglas DC-4 originally done by Jens B. Kristensen. Whom has given me the permission to modify his wonderful aircraft and update these particular versions for use in P3Dv4+. The models have been updated with new sounds, external models to represent 3 different versions of the DC-4/C-54 airtankers, PBR added, and updated 4k textures across the board. Operators Aero-Flite, Aero Union, Ardco, Buffalo Airways, and TBM are represented in the pack across 10 repaints. The DC-4/C-54 was one of the most prolifically used airtankers in the industry in the United States, they served from the 1970s until 2007 despite many years of life still left in them. Some never moved from their offseason homes and were scrapped, while smaller numbers were sold off and turned into rural cargo/fuel haulers, and transports. An even smaller number continued flying as airtankers. Buffalo Airways as of 2023 still has DC-4 tankers. Of the unique models that are represented here, one special version is known as the DC-4 'Super.' The Super was a specially modified DC-4 only two were ever made and only one lived on. It became owned by Ardco. This DC-4 was modified with R2600 engines instead of the R2000s equipped on the standard variant. The limited amount of time and engineering to this upgrade left it functioning, but not to it's full potential. The propeller was retained from the R2000 which resulted in the engine RPMs being limited. Despite the R2600s, the Super was not faster than a standard DC-4, however, the big notable difference was in climb performance. And in many hot and high density altitude operations in the hot western United States, the DC-4 Super had an advantage over the standard DC-4 in terms of useable power. With a decent carriable load of 18,000 LBS or around 2,000 US gallons of retardant. The DC-4/C-54s could operate even off the shortest air attack bases, largely leading to why it was so prolifically used in aerial firefighting. Original Aircraft by Jens B.

Modifications are made for, again, a wonderful created Piper aircraft by Rien Cornelissen. This time it concerns the Piper Arrow-IV PA-28T-201 aircraft that Rien made in 2008. At first I hesitated on doing modifications on this Arrow IV as it did look great and performed well. Also the VC of Rien is nice but after some testing I did not like the lights configuration of the aircraft in Prepar3D. Then I thought it would be nice to give Rien's VC an even more 'old school' look... So here I started to make a mod of the Arrow IV. It will be my last one of Rien's creations. The modifications consist of some recoded gauges, some new gauges, an enhanced Bendix King Auto Pilot, reference and checklists kneeboard files, four expandable gauges and Cockpit sounds. An extra panel was created with a Garmin GNS530 in VC. Stock Bendix King Radio gauges are replaced with equivalent ones by ones created by Pierre Fasseaux. Further improvements concern aircraft lights and aircraft lights management. Finally three new liveries are provided. For a full list of modifications and a credits list see file: Piper ArrowIV_RC_mod.pdf in the 'Docs' folder of the aircraft. This package has only been tested okay in Prepar3D v4+ However I have included panel configurations for FSX users. See INSTALL.txt for help if needed. Happy days and happy flights. Apologies for my previous incomplete upload.

This is a significant update and addition to the original DC-7 airtanker pack I released for FSX/P3D. This new version has a number of updates, including PBR, updated sounds, updated 4K textures, and additional new tank models and liveries. The Douglas DC-7s flew in firefighting service from the late 1960s until 2020, where Erickson Aero retired the last 3 firefighting DC-7s. The DC-7s were largely modified by Aero Union in the late 60s and early 70s with a 3,000 gallon retardant/water tank. The DC-7s incredible speed and carrying capability made it a viable tanker for over 40 years. This package holds two model variations representing the DC-7, DC-7B, and DC-7C as they flew as airtankers. There are 10 total repaints representing Erickson Aero, Butler Aviation, T&G Aviation, and Central Air Services. The fantastic original aircraft was created by the crew at Cal Classic Propliners and credit and thanks for their permission to modify and create these iconic variants of the DC-7 belong to Tom Gibson, FSAVIATOR, Jens Kristensen, and Greg Pepper.

Native FSX Piper Arrow III PA-28R-201, non-turbo variant. Models by Rien Cornelissen. I did use the Arrow III PA-28R-201, non-turbo variant package, Arrow-3.zip by Rien to create a native FSX Piper Arrow III PA-28R-201 non-turbo, which Rien did not release as FSX native variant. I did use from Arrow-3.zip the data in the aircraft.cfg and did use the .air file from it. I then did use the external and internal models of the turbo variant Arrow III PA-28R-201T. I also did use the original panel from the Arrow-3.zip by Rien and except for 2 missing gauges it loaded straight in Prepar3D v4+ where it did perform well. Created a new extra panel with some enhanced gauges by Pierre Fasseaux. Created two new panels based on panel above with beige and blue colored VC front panels. So now there are four different panels. As Rien did, aircraft sound is aliased to the stock Mooney Bravo. Added are three liveries of which one completely new. More info and credits list in file Piper Arrow III PA-28R-201_mod.pdf. Happy flights.

Piper Archer-III PA28-181 Pack. This is little revamp of the Piper Archer-III by Rien Cornelissen. Overall the gauges in VC now do have darker background or overall color as opposed to Rien's release. Many small changes and additions have been applied. For a full list see the file Piper Archer-III_mod.pdf in the 'Docs' folder of the aircraft. Some features to mention here are: - Newly created blue and green liveries. - Added new VC cameras. - Added documentation including Reference and Checks kneeboard files. - Added original POH for the Piper Archer III. - Small changes and additions in Light configuration. - Small additions to VC consist of: - CockpitSounds - Revised GNS 430 - Radio Stack - Annunciator panel is now more extended. - GPS-NAV switch in Auto Pilot, Heading value display and adjust values in Auto Pilot. - Some tooltips in overhead are added. - Recoloring of backgrounds of some gauges. - Made some gauges clickable to toggle them in expanded state. - Panel configurations for FSX included. - Install guide available in INSTALL.txt

These modifications are for and of the Piper PA-44 Seminole aircraft created by Rien Cornelissen. They consist of modified gauges, added Cockpit sounds, added VC cameras, added documentation and kneeboard files, slightly changed light configuration, enhanced Bendix King Auto Pilot, TCAS, GPWS, and some new and some revised gauges as well. A new sound set has been added because of issues with the original aliased sounds in P3Dv4. Finally one newly created livery has been added. Now this pack has 4 different liveries. All has been tested okay in Prepar3D v4+.and in FSX as well. Note that this is the complete aircraft. See for full information and credits file 'Piper Seminole RC mod.pdf' in the 'Docs' folder of the aircraft. Happy flights.

FSX/Steam/P3D3 Cessna 310Q Olympic Livery. This is a fictional livery of a Cessna 310 Q of Olympic Aviation. The reason for the livery is that I made a handcrafted 310 Q out of balsa wood & silkspan RC Model in 1977 that I still own in this same livery colors( I included photos of the RC Model in the package). You will need the original freeware Rob Richardson Cessna 310Q(Link Listed Bellow). Full VC and Continental T10 Sounds by Gary Jones. For the Microsoft Flight Simulator X SE. Happy Landings everyone. Repaint by Hellenic Aircraft/Yiannis Katehis Tsetsas 2023.

This is a fix for anyone that has issues with the DC-6 tanker pack's gauges not appearing. In some, not all installs for some reason, the gauges do not appear in the 2D or 3D panel. These two files should fix the missing gauges, as they were accidently omitted in the original release files. Simply drop the two files into your main P3D/gauges folder. Fix by Nicholas Mitchell.

This is a comprehensive update from the original package for FSX/P3D. This being for P3Dv4+ only. The update includes the updating of aircraft's textures, addition of PBR, new updated model configurations/tanks, updated sounds, and a few additional liveries. This is the entire aircraft. Originally by the CalClassic Propliners team that gave me permission to create the original package, this is an improvement on that initial pack. The pack includes the DC-6/F aka: Baby DC-6 and the DC-6A and B models. Which encompass the shorter bodied airframe and longer bodied airframe with and without the aerodynamic propeller fairings on the prop hubs as well as other minor differences in configurations and tank designs. Despite the different airframes and performance differences the DC-6 platform carried up to 2,450 US Gallons or 22,050lbs of retardant/water aboard. The operators included in this package are variations from Aero Union, Conair, Securite Civile, UTA Industries, TBM Inc, Sis-Q Flying Service, and Macavia International. 5 model variations and 8 liveries total. Original aircraft by Tom Gibson, FSAVIATOR, Jens Kristensen, and Greg Pepper. Airtanker conversion and update modifications by Nicholas Mitchell.

Hello and welcome to my Cal Fire S-2T Tanker pack. This has been a years work in progress with research and painting on and off with school and work. I have used Scorchs tanker pack since the day it was released, and the earlier paints even before that from Milton and his team. The original S2T Model by Milton Shupe, flight model by Tom Falley, sounds by Nigel, and paint by Rachael Whiteford, Scorch00(Nicholas), and possibly Jeremy "Tankerguy72" U. Paint lines were traced over on a new canvas to create the textures. Logos updated to high quality now that they are readily available, pilots updated to semi-correct uniforms. Both clean and retardant stain belly textures for each livery. Pick and choose, mix and match! You will need the original S-2T model by Milton and his team for these to work. This will be 1 of 4 Cal Fire packs that I will be releasing this year.
