RAF Bassingbourn is a former Royal Air Force station located in Cambridgeshire approximately 3 mi (5 km) north of Royston, Hertfordshire and 11 mi (18 km) south west of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. RAF Bassingbourn was constructed by John Laing & Son between 1937 and 1939 in the parishes of Wendy and Bassingbourn immediately to the west of the A14 (now the A1198) road. The site selected was low ground between several tributaries of the River Cam. The area had been long cleared of forest and tended to be swampy and unstable, and because the boggy ground produced a persistent mist over the large meadow the site was considered ideal for airfield camouflage. During the Second World War it served first as an RAF station and then as a bomber airfield of the Eighth Air Force, of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). It remains the home of the Tower Museum Bassingbourn. From 19 August 1942 to 25 June 1945, Bassingbourn served as headquarters for the 1st Combat Bombardment Wing of the 1st Bomb Division. It was assigned USAAF designation Station 121. The RAF resumed occupation of Bassingbourn on 26 June 1945, the airfield was officially returned on 10 July 1945. The station became one of the main airfields for long-range transport aircraft. In 1948 and 1949 Avro York, Avro Lancaster and Douglas Dakota aircraft from the base took part in the Berlin Airlift, a massive operation transporting essential commodities to the beleaguered city. In February 1952, RAF Bassingbourn received its first allocation of English Electric Canberra bombers and became the first jet bomber operational conversion unit (OCU) in the world. Canberras operated from Bassingbourn for 17 years and one of the aircraft is on static display in the Barracks. From 1963 to 1969 the Joint School of Photographic Interpretation was also located there. On 29 August 1969, the last RAF Commanding Officer, Sqn Ldr A.M. McGregor MBE, turned over the station to the British Army as Bassingbourn Barracks. The barracks were established, on the site of the former RAF Bassingbourn airfield, in January 1970, as the new Depot for the Queen's Division. The depot was responsible for training recruits undergoing their 19-week basic training before joining a regular battalion; in 1993 the Barracks were re-designated the home of the "Army Training Regiment, Bassingbourn" and remained as such for nearly 20 years. Bassingbourn Barracks closed as an army training location in August 2012. The site was reopened for training Libyan soldiers in 2014 but closed down the same year. Since approximately 1970 the site has retained its RAF links by being the home of 2484 (Bassingbourn) Squadron Air Training Corps.

FSX Frigate HMS Surprise from the 18th century. This sailing ship is based on the former replic HMS Rose, built in 1970. For the movie "Master and commander", regarding Patrick O'Brian's famous novel, the boat was restorated to a historical replic of a british frigate of the 18th century. Surprise is now at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. The history of the real ship began 1794 as French sloop Unite, captured by the Brits two years later. Renamed 'Surprise', she served successfully until 1802. The Sim-model is almost complete rigged with hundreds of ropes and has fourteen animated guns, six animated stun sails and six unanimated crewmen. Twenty four cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, the lower gun deck and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard and port separately. The model should run in Acceleration and in FS2004 but it is not tested and not completely configured for FS2004.

Wide View Aspect flying (WVA) is a resident option in FSX. It is not by default activated. The aircraft are displayed differently in WVA and it is necessary, in this project, to provide files to place overlay windows and the bomb sight in the correct positions to maintain accuracy of an attack on the dam walls. You must have Part 1 installed and if you already fly WVA or wish to, then this updated MUST be applied. For simplicity this update will replace all Plane-Design flyable Lancasters in PART 1. The Project Ai's are not affected by the change to WVA. An illustrated Pdf Manual provides background and installation instuctions. With the permission of the Chief Designer at Plane-Design - Ed Walters this package has been prepared by Ross McLennan. File name DB70_WVA_Update1.zip
