The He-178 was the world's very first jet aircraft, whose maiden flight took place on August 27, 1939, just before the outbreak of WWII. It was a very small aircraft but reached a top speed of well over 400 mph, more than any fighter at the time. However, it never made it to mass production and never went to service, because the Ministry of German Aviation didn't consider it a useful weapon as it was too small and didn't have enough range. So after some test flights the project was abandoned. The package, originally designed for FS2002 by the team of geocities/ thedrachensnest, features a completely re-designed VC and 2D panel as well as FSX compatible smoke effects. It includes two models, a prototype and a fictional (what if?) repaint. Credits go the team mentioned above for the original model. Repaints, VC and 2D panel as well as smoke effect configuration by Michael Pook.

Yugoslavian Rogozarski IK-3, another great CFS2 warbird, now made flyable for FSX. All credits go to the original authors! Working VC, all gauges included. Gun-effects added for fun. Enjoy!

FSX/FS2004 panel for the STOL aircraft Dornier Do 27. The 2-D panel bitmap is made of a photograph of a real one, the virtual panel configuration matches the fantastic airplane model from Hannes von der Heide (do27_50y.zip). He provides different FS2004 versions, working perfectly in FSX. Panel and configuration by Erwin Welker.

FS2004 Photos from the World Helitour. A photographer has asked to you if you can take him across the world by helicopter, by a Bell 206B JetRanger: he wants to fill some albums with photos taken from the sky. You have accepted and you're going to leave. 152K

FS2004 Renard R-37. With an airframe fundamentally similar to that of the R-36, the R-37 differed primarily in having a closecowled 1100hp Gnome-Rhone 14N-21 14-cylinder radial engine. Cooling air reached the engine via a narrow annulus, was mixed with exhaust gases and ejected through two groups of nozzles to provide some thrust augmentation. Includes both FS9 & CFS2 Models.

FS2004/2002 IAR-80. The history of WWII aviation is dominated almost entirely by the aircraft of five countries, the USA, England, Germany, Japan and the Soviet Union. Although small numbers of other designs saw combat, the majority of these were poor performers and saw little action. The Romanian IAR.80 is an exception to the rule. When it was introduced it could outperform many contemporary fighters, and even beat out advanced German designs in head to head competition. J R Lucariny. 1.5MB

FSX/Acceleration Package Destroyer Charles F. Adams Class. This ships were a guided missile destroyer class of 23 ships for the US Navy, 3 for the Royal Australian Navy and 3 for the West German Bundesmarine; built between 1958 and 1967.

Adams and Moelders survived as museum ships, but all of the others have been sunk as targets, sunk for diving wrecks or sold for scrap. The package contains pilotable- and ai-versions of Charles F. Adams and Moelders in the style of the 70th. The FSX version has twenty two camera views whilst the FS9 version has sixteen panel look around views. Both versions has many animations with animated guns, radars, ASROC and Tartar launchers with missile launches. The weapon control switchboard and most of the gauges are made by Pierre Carosin, the FSDS 3.5 models with the photoreal 2D navigation bridge are made by Erwin Welker.
