The Vought F7U Cutlass was a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber of the early Cold War era. It was a highly unusual, semi-tailless design, allegedly based on aerodynamic data and plans captured from the German Arado company at the end of World War II. Regarded as a radical departure from traditional aircraft design, the Cutlass suffered from numerous technical and handling problems throughout its short service career. The type was responsible for the deaths of four test pilots and 21 other U.S. Navy pilots. This is an FSX update of the FS2002/2004 model deigned by RanchoJen models and features a modified 2D panel and a highly detailed static VC (non-functional gauges). Automatic smoke and afterburner effects added. Credits go to the designers mentioned above, whom I've tried to ask their permission for this update but their E-Mail as well as the link mentioned in their readme is invalid anymore. Modified 2D panel, new static VC as well as effect configuration by Michael Pook.

This package contains 4 parts with HiRes Retro liveries for most of the airplanes. Model by Skyspirit. The main files (model, panel, sound) and base textures for all airplanes are included in part 1, they are necessary for all other liveries. Part 2 contains AAF and AUA, part 3 Aeroflot, KLM, Lufthansa, SAL (SAA) and SAS, part 4 comes with AAL, PanAm, United and USAF. Finally all textures are fictional, AAF, AAL, Aeroflot, KLM, SAL, SAS, United and USAF have no 747-8, Lufthansa has no 747-8 with Retro livery and PanAm don't exist anymore. Anyways, most of the liveries exist or existed on real airplanes, are well researched and represent how a 747-8 could look like this. The textures are completely overworked and have 4096px² now, corrected doors, new windows, new joints, new lines, more details, new fans, new wheels, new pilots, new lights, new shading, new ground handling ..... The "aircraft.cfg" is overworked too, I corrected small things and the contact points, the airplane (even the freighter) touches the ground now. I don't like the annoying PW, PR or GE sounds, therefore there's no sound included, I use the default B737_800 sound, it's simply relaxing. The panel is modified as well, the pesky GPWS is removed, but it's done for flying with outside view. If you prefer flying with inside views, you don't need this package anyways. Additional I did Screenshots (JPG) and wallpapers (PNG) of each livery with 10800x6075px and smaller ones for single (2560x1440px) and dual monitors (5120x1440). Happy flying and enjoy, greetz, Dag@bert.

FSX/Acceleration/FS2004 Amphibious Floatplane Bartini Beriev VVA-14 in two versions. This strange looking aircraft was a soviet prototype for an amphibious concept, planned for a VTOL version with 14 engines; therefore the name VVA-14. The first version was a konventional one with gear but no floats and made its first flight in September 1972. Later inflatable rubber floats were installed but the aircraft was not able to go airborne. Finally the inflatable floats were replaced with solid floats, the bow was streched and got two additional jet engines. The design gives you no answer if this monster is an aircraft, a hydroplane, a flying catamaran boat or an alien spaceship from starwars. The wreck can be visited at the Molino museum near Moscow. The second prototype went lost in a fire and the VTOL version, planned for anti submarine warfare, was never built. As FS-model you can fly both version of the first prototype with great handling on ground, in air and on water: One with animated inflatable rubber floats and the other with solid floats. The model has a VC with animated stick- and throttle arms. FSDS 3.5 model by Erwin Welker, panel configuration by Michael Pook and russian gauges by different authors. Special thanks to them!

FSX/P3D Airbus A350-900XWB Singapore Airlines package (Updated). Singapore are replacing their old fleet of Boeing 777 and A330 with the new A350 and currently (May 2018) operate 21 with a further 39 on order. Added the better Thomas Ruth VC with updates by Chris Evans and Louis Quintero. Use FMC under Views/Instrument panel in FSX menu. (FSX : Go to Views -Instrument Panel. P3D: Go to Vehicle - Instrument panel). Added better views. The Airbus A350 XWB is a family of long-range, twin-engine wide-body jet airliners from the European aircraft maker Airbus. The A350 is the first Airbus aircraft with both fuselage and wings made mainly from carbon fibre structure. The A350 is intended to replace the A340 and compete with Boeing's 787 and 777. Added the textures by Punit Soneji. Tested on P3Dv4 and should be ok in FSX and earlier P3D versions by Chris Evans.

FS2004 Monocoupe 135F floatplane in three paint schemes . Features all necessary animation/display capabilities of GMAX including functioning VC, Pilot figure and operable float rudders. The Monocoupe was a very popular light general aviation two seater back in the 1930s. The 135 hp version has a modern full featured panel including autopilot and is equipped with Wipline 2100 floats by Tom Miller. 9.1MB

This is an update for FSX of the Boeing 707-320 By Libardo Guzman and reworked by Michael Pook. I have changed the 2D panel background to match the VC and added and changed some gauges; I have put in all the wheels; changed the sound file; deleted all but 3 models and 6 paints; the 420 model has different engines so it really needs a different air and aircraft.cfg file. I have updated the flight dynamics.

FSX/P3D v3,v4,v5 Seafire MkXV The Supermarine Seafire, was a naval development of the Spitfire, and was the first modern carrier based fighter used by the Royal Navy. The most important change in the Seafire Mk XV was the Griffon engine and the reinforced main undercarriage which used longer oleos and a lower rebound ratio. This went some way towards taming the deck behaviour , reduced the propensity of the propeller tips "pecking" the deck during an arrested landing and the softer oleos stopped the aircraft from occasionally bouncing over the arrestor wires and into the crash barrier. Two P3D and FSX native models by A.F.Scrub.

FSX/FS2004 Spitfire Mk XIV clipped: The Mk XIV was the most important of the Griffon powered Spitfires, and the only one to see significant wartime service. It used the two-speed two-stage supercharged Griffon 61 or 65, giving 2,050 hp. It had a significantly improved performance at speed and higher altitudes when compared to the earlier Merlin powered Spitfires . Model by A.F.Scrub

FS2004 De Havilland DH-4. Although the DH-4 was originally a British combat airplane, it was redesigned in the United States in 1917 for the Liberty engine. Many DH-4s were used by the Postal Service during the 1920's, and many of the later ones were M models. This Model represents the aircraft being built up for the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum, is an M-2, and will be converted to a Mail Plane as used by Robertson flying Service on the C. A. M. 2 route between Chicago and St. Louis. Charles Lindbergh was a mail pilot for Robertson, and one of his log book entries refers to a metal DH-4. Includes virtual cockpit. By Chris Herring. 2.9MB
