FS2004 Lockheed L-1649A Starliner, Version 1.0 (W.I.P.) The Starliner marked the end of the line of Constellation designs. It had an entirely new wing of greatly increased span (150 feet as opposed to 123 feet on the "Super G" Constellation), more powerful Wright R-3350 engines spaced further outboard for reduced cabin noise levels, and a strengthened undercarriage to support a gross weight of 160,000 lbs (138,000 lbs on the Super G). It was designed to fly the polar routes Los Angeles-London or Paris-Tokyo in just over 21 hours non-stop, and it established numerous long-distance records, many of them still current today. Providing accommodation for ninety-two tourist-class or twenty-six first-class and forty-five tourist-class passengers, the Starliner entered service with TWA in May 1957. Other operators included Air France and Lufthansa. It was arguably the largest, widest-range, and most expensive piston-engine airliner of its day (reportedly $3,219,550.00). While, in the real world, work has begun on bringing one of surviving Starliners back to flying status, you can get the factory-fresh prototype, fittingly registered N1649, for nothing here. Model and textures by Manfred Jahn, 2D-panel by Hansjoerg Naegele, effects and flight dynamics a communal effort by the FS9 Starliner team. Note well that, this being a W.I.P. release, there is no VC yet, the documentation is incomplete, the flight dynamics are tentative, and a proper soundset will have to be downloaded separately. See the Starliner project thread at www.calclassic.com for FAQs, future plans (fictional L-1549 model, paintkit, VC-equipped 1649A), and a host of rare historical, technical, and pictorial material.

FSX Airbus A321 Air Tahiti Nui Textures only for FSX default A321 Well, being in the midst of the Pacific Ocean, Tahiti Nui (Great Tahiti) uses long-range A340-313Xs, but the livery is magnificent, and I love this country and its beautiful people, so I've done the job on a hypothetical Airbus A321. I'll repeat it on the A340 whenever this plane will come out for FSX. By Sammy Dowidar. 3.6MB

FSX/FS2004 Seafire F Mk 46 WW2 fighter The Supermarine Seafire F.Mk.46 was the first version of the Griffon-powered Seafire to be truly suitable for service on aircraft carriers, featuring contra-rotating propellers that solved the handling problems caused by the torque problems introduced with the Griffon. The 24 aircraft that were produced had fixed wings.They were used for training and trials, before being withdrawn in 1951. GMAX model by A.F.Scrub. Tested in FS2004/FSX/FSXacceleration.

FS2002/2004 OV-10 Bronco NASA Textures only + Paintkit. Here are the textures for the NASA Research airplane that's based at Langley AFB, Va. This is not a fictional repaint, but one taken from photos of the actual aircraft. Because of texture mapping constraints, the spinners and the metal framework around the canopy cannot be painted. I'm assuming that for some reason they were hardcoded into the model itself. Requires original by Tim Conrad here. By E Wells. 4.4MB

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 (NATO reporting name: Farmer) is a Soviet second generation, single-seat, twin jet-engined fighter aircraft, the world's first mass-produced supersonic aircraft. It was the first Soviet production aircraft capable of supersonic speeds in level flight. This is an FSX update for the FS2002/2004 model by Capt. I. D'Attomo. Unexpextedly, the model works perfectly in FSX but the panels and FDE definitely needed some refurbishing. To my knowledge, this model is the only freeware Mig-19 with a functional VC, because of which I've decided to make it available for the FSX community as well. The package includes 14 liveries: 2 default and 12 repaints by Georgette Kostopoulos. The VC has completely been reworked and the 2D panel is the Mig-15 panel by Pierre Langer, but modified to give it the original Mig-19 touch, equipped with mostly Pierre's gauges. The radar was designed by Philippe Wallaert. Automatic smoke and afterburner effect added. All credits go to the designers mentioned above. All updates and repaint compilation by Michael Pook. The model may also work in FS2004 and P3D, Version3.
