An FSX adaptation of Tim Conrad's sweet little X-24 Lifting Body. Built as a atmospheric test vehicle for a planed orbital version intended to be a military spaceplane lofted by a Titan launcher. A series of unmanned half scale X-24's were flown on sub-orbital and orbital test flights to validate Hypersonic and reentry performance. The design performed well, and detail design and operational doctrine for the orbital military version was well advanced when the airforce walked away from manned military capability. Mr.Conrads X-24 is a FS2002/2004 model that, with modifications, looks and works great in FSX. The panel has been re-worked using Mr.Conrads T-2 gauge cab(included). Flight model has been re worked to give HOTOL LEO capability (Nuclear gas core/H2 rocket?) A couple of new textures for hypothetical 'operational TAV-24's' included. A fascinating glimpse of an Air Force that almost was.

Boeing 747-400 Singapore Airlines '1000th 747' Delux Package. Assembled and edited for FSX with the developed B747 VC from Alejandro Rojas Lucenda. This is the Project Opensky native FSX Boeing 747-400 model, including ground cargo servicing, stairs (FSX - Go to Views - Instrument Panel -Posky Utility), jetway (Ctrl J). Included CF engine sounds from BrandonG, with realistic jet whine to make your flight sound great. Upgraded using the vastly improved Boeing 747 VC from Alejandro Rojas Lucena/FSND (See panel docs for details). VC includes FMC, EICAS, MFD with control panel, GPWS, working wipers, cabin lights, fire suppression, avionics switch, fuel crossfeed, landing lights switches, taxi light switch, engine generators, APU generator, battery switch, starter switches, de-ice switch, general lights switches. Thank you to Skyspirit/Project Opensky for their outstanding donations to the worldwide community of flight simulation. Professional textures by Carlos Eduardo Salas. Also includes the Boeing 747 VC textures upgrade. This give a much clearer 747 interior virtual cockpit look. Assembled and edited for FSX by Chris Evans. Zip preview for larger pictures. See panel docs and images for VC details and controls

Kruse-Curtiss Flyer. This model was designed from pictures of my Great-Uncle Frank Kruse's plane combined with plans of other Curtiss planes of the time. I'm estimating that the plane was built in 1910 or 1911 from Curtiss plans published in 'Popular Mechanics'. The Curtiss museum is not aware of any Curtiss designs that used this style aileron, however the rest of the plane is obviously Curtiss. We don't know what Uncle Frank was thinking, maybe this style aileron was easier to rig. He flew the plane in the Chicago and central Illinois area and didn't die in the plane. Other than the pictures and my Grandmothers stories of some of Frank's other exploits not much is known of what became of his plane. And yes, that is Frank in the plane - at least the best I could do with the pictures available.

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier, known colloquially as the "Harrier Jump Jet", was developed in the 1960s and formed the first generation of the Harrier series of aircraft. It was the first operational close-support and reconnaissance fighter aircraft with vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) capabilities and the only truly successful V/STOL design of the many that arose in that era. The Harrier was produced directly from the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel prototypes following the cancellation of a more advanced supersonic aircraft, the Hawker Siddeley P.1154. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) ordered the Harrier GR.1 and GR.3 variants in the late 1960s. It was exported to the United States as the AV-8A, for use by the US Marine Corps (USMC), in the 1970s. 2d panel only. No VC (press F10 to see 2d panel)

FSX/P3D Boeing B-50 V.1 The Boeing B-50 Superfortress was a post-WWII derivative of the B-29 Superfortress. It had a larger tail fin and more powerful 3,500 h.p. Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major engines. In the simulator you can fly the aircraft either as an 'A' type (using a B-29 type glass cone) or as a 'D' (and later) type, both with or without long-range tanks. Created by 'Team 50' - models and textures by Manfred Jahn, sound set by Ted Wolfgang, research, testing and tweaking by Marc Roth. The flight dynamics are based on the 'generic' C-97 design by Wayne Tudor. Some small issues aside, the plane is flyable in P3D V4, too.

Injects real weather for all airports into fsx. Users have option to improve handling of fog, add high altitude clouds and create a realistic visibility. Very simple to use but very effective.

I updated Varnavskiy Sergey's FS2002/2004 Il-76 by: replacing the non compatible gauges in the original 2D panel with ones by Brett Hoskin's, Vladimir Zhyhulskiy, and Alexander Vishnyakov. I also added the Ilyushin Il-76 Soloviev D-30KP Soundset by Mike Maarse, Chen Yeng's China Air Force texture, (Mike Pearson's 1979, 1999, & 2005 Aeroflot and UN) textures. I re-worked Raymond Karsten's Atlant Soyuz texture. And I created a Soviet/Russian Air force texture and an Emercom of Russia "RA-76840" texture plus included all the texture thumbnails. No VC panel.

FS2004 S-70 B-6 Hawk Aegean . The S-70 is the most advanced naval helicopter in the world. Complex model including virtual cockpit, opening doors, etc. These helicopters were purchased for use with the Meko 200HN frigates and new fleet additions. They have the capability of launching Penguin anti-ship missiles as well as torpedoes and other anti-submarine ordinance. Repaint and modifications by Angelos Hatzikatakos.
