Douglas D-558-2 achieved Mankind's first Mach 2 on November 20, 1953. I've been longing for aircraft since I was a kid, but somehow I got to know D-558-2 six months ago. The reason was that the glory of Chuck Yeager and Bell X-1 was so dazzling that I couldn't see D-558-2. And Albert Scott Crossfield and Douglas D-558-2, who achieved the world's first Mach 2, became my heroes alongside the X-1. The very elegant streamlined design of D-558-2 is very beautiful. It's a very perfect design! The triangular canopy glass is small and the pilot's face appears to be trapped. What a small and unique cockpit. What does the landscape from this cockpit look like? And I was excited to see the powerful take-off photo of D-558-2 using JATO(Takeoff support rocket unit). I wanted to reproduce these in FSX. This model is D558-2 number 3 and is a hybrid of turbojet and rocket engine. I dedicate this model for the great history of aircraft. FSDS v3.5 model by uenoshing. We have not confirmed the operation other than FSX ACCELERATION. Edit: Works in P3D too.

These are the gauges that I inadvertently left out of the FSX Grumman F6F5 Hellcat Updated Package. just copy them to your FSX gauges file and/or the F6F panel file.

X-Plane 9 F-4G "Wild Weasel", 81st TFS/52nd TFW Spangdahlem AB, 9.50. The "Wild Weasel" F-4G (Phantom II) was designed to seek out and supress, electronically, or destroy with High Speed Anti-Radiation (HARM) missiles an adversaries missile guidance and early warning radars. Apparently worked quite well too. Haven't figured out how to model all that in X-Plane 9 though. By David Austin

Hawes Aerial Operations Facility is a reimagined version of an abandoned World War II auxiliary airstrip formerly known as Hawes AAF Aux #1. It was built in the mojave desert, just east of Edwards AFB (then Muroc AAF) during WWII as one of 4 satellite fields for Victorville AAF. After the war, Hawes as used as a private civilian airfield until it's closure in the early 1960's. It is now reborn in FSX as a UAV base by Nevada Systems. Due to it's location in the Mojave desert and the presence of many thermals in FSX, it was also used in production of the Aeroworks ARX-1 civilian glider concept. This scenery uses many custom macros as well as default macros from the Acceleration Expansion Pack, which is required for best performance. Scenery and custom macros by Joshua B. Nyhus and Jason L.
