FS2004 Lockheed L-1649A Starliner Prototype, v1.1. The Starliner was the last of the long-range piston-engine airliners. Designed to fly Los Angeles-London or Paris-Tokyo in around 20 hours non-stop, it established numerous long-distance records, many of them still current today. Providing accommodation for twenty-six first-class and forty-five tourist-class passengers, the Starliner entered service with TWA in May 1957. Other operators were Air France and Lufthansa. C/n 1001, registration N1649 (later N60968) first flew on 10 October 1956 and continued to serve with Lockheed Aircraft Corporation until 1970. The core Starliner team consists of Manfred Jahn (model), Hansjoerg Naegele (panel), Roland Berger (flight tests, dynamics, exhaust effects), and C.J. Kaeser (research). Effects by Milton Shupe (engine), Hansjoerg Naegele (fueldump), Wayne Tudor (exhaust flames). Original panel by Jan Visser. 6.7MB

In October 2010, LAN Airlines acquired (98%) Aerovias de Integracin Regional S.A. (AIRES), a low-cost Colombian airline. As part of that acquisition, LAN repainted one of AIRES' Boeing 737-78Q's in the LAN livery, the first 737NG to wear this livery. AIRES operates scheduled domestic and international passenger service as well as domestic cargo service. AIRES is based at El Dorado International Airport (SKBO) in Bogota, Columbia. AIRES operates in several other major airports in Columbia as well. This repaint is detailed with hand painted logos and custom windows with hand drawn window shades. Ground Service vehicles have ARIES logos on them. All repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps. This is a complete installation package; Project Opensky B737-700W model and air files included. Repaint by Jeffrey S. Bryner.

I looked around for a bit for the Dash-8-102 in the new livery of US Airway Express, operated by Piedmont Airlines, but could not find one. So, I decided to repaint it in the excellent Dreamwings model. This aircraft and roughly 54 other Dash-8's (100 and 300 models) are operated under the US Airways Express logo by Piedmont Airlines, originally founded as Henson Aviation (that's the HA in the Registration). The new US Airways livery which this aircraft wears is very striking and colorful and is quite a contrast from the prior US Airways livery. Though I could only find a few photos of this airframe, I repainted this with a goal of having a realistic and detailed end product. I hope this repaint does not fail in either of those aspects. Fuselage textures are 32-bit no mips, all other textures DXT3 (no mips). This is a textures only package; you must have the Dreamwings Design Dash8 Q-100 model and air files.

FSX Pilotable Aircraft Carrier HMS Queen Elisabeth II. This ship is a britisch project for the next years. It is supposed that the HMS QE2 will sail between 2014 and 2016. The detailed Ai-model is made by Lazarus Starkweather. My pilotable version provides a navigation bridge at the front island and a flight operation bridge at the rear island. I believe, it is a premiere at FSX, that together with the aircraft carrier a frigate in formation ahead is loaded using the VC-mode. Seven cameras allows you to explore the ship and you can set F-35 Joint Strike Fighters onto the flight deck or a Sea Lynx helicopter onto the elevator. VTOL and STOL takeoffs can be simulated with the F-35 in an external view or with the pilots view. Sounds and effects are included. Panel and configuration by Erwin Welker.

FS 2004 Saunders Roe SR-45 "Princess" This is the FS 2004 version of my previous FSX model of the :Princess". The SR-45 first flew in 1952 and was one of the largest flying boats ever built. It was overshadowed by the upcoming land based 707 and DC-8 so only one was finished and test flown. This is a FSDSv3.51 project compiled with Makemdl into FS 2004. It has the usual animations, specular shine, DXT3 textures, reverse thrust, and turbine smoke that turns on and off as a function of throttle position. The VC is based on a photo and has animated flight and engine controls. There is no 2D panel. There are two liveries, the factory paint and the proposed BOAC livery. By Paul Clawson
