FS2002 Pro N3N USCG "Yellow Peril" The Coast Guard acquired four of the trainers from the Navy beginning in December, 1940 by trading four Grumman JF-2 "Ducks." The primary reason for the trade was an effort by the Coast Guard to expedite pilot training, which was expanding during this time in anticipation of war. The new trainers were given the tail numbers V193-V196. At least one was assigned to station operations at the Coast Guard air station at St. Petersburg, FL, from 8 March 1934 to 31 August 1944. This model features full moving parts 32bit textures, and Dynamic Virtual Cockpit. Aircraft by Steven Grant, Repaint by Ray Brower. Ray Brower. 1.4MB

CFS2/FS2002 Grumman F3F-2 shipboard fighter. The F3F-3 "flying barrel" shipboard fighter, was an extremely strong aircraft, faster and more manoeuvrable than its predecessors. It handled superbly, snap rolled with exacting precision, and could three point with any power setting or loading condition. Its pilots considered it the ultimate biplane. At the beginning of WW2, there were still 140 Grumman F2F and F3F fighters serving the U.S. Navy as fighter pilot trainers. The last Grumman biplane fighter was to remain in service until late in November 1943. Original model by Paul Clawson. Adapted to CFS2/FS2002 with new model, air and Dp files with textures for 3 planes by A.F.Scrub. 1MB

FS2002 ((not fully fs2004 compatible - if used click NO when asked to disable non compatible stuff)) Dambuster Lancaster (Type 464) Dambuster Anniversary Flight: Fly my restored Dambuster Lancaster (Type 464) warbird to the Ruhr Valley and replicate the 1943 attack on the Moehne and Eder Dams. This aircraft is the original FS98/CFS1 aircraft of January 2000 by Keith Clifford (Lanc15.zip) as was used in my CFS1 DB Tribute but now converted for flying in FS2002. The panel update to modern FS2002 instruments still uses Roger Lowery's RAF662 B1 Lancaster bitmap as ammended for my CFS1 Dambuster Tribute of Jan 2004. The original Lancaster files are included for designer acknowlegement and have been the source files for the conversion in the FS2002 editor. Dams scenery provided with 3 flights. I wonder if you can qualify as a 617 Squadron Lancaster pilot, flight engineer, navigator and bomb aimer or be rejected as not being good enough? Packaged by Ross McLennan.

UPDATE FILES FOR FS2004: Although not fully compatible with FS2004 the aircraft flys extremely well. These files simply allow the generation of a FS2004 aircraft folder with new files that take advantage of the htm format so that you have full briefings, checklists and reference documents which otherwise are ineffective. A scenery update is provided to take into account the differences in FS2004. The aircraft file has been revised to make use of the option to "drop" the weapon and fly 9250lbs lighter.

FS2002/FS2 French Corsair F4U-7. The model depicts a French F4U-7 from Flotille 15.F, as flown in Egypt from the "Arromanches" and "Lafayette" with the typical yellow stripes used during the Suez crisis in 1956. The F4U-7 was exclusively made for the French Marine. A total of 94 planes was produced between 1952 and 1953. France used F4U-7 in Indochina, Suez and Algeria. Original mdl by Guy HULIN.

See folding wing update below

FS2002/CFS2 Corsair AU-1. AU-1 The AU-1 was a dedicated low-level attack version of the F4U. It was powered by a R-2800-83WA with a single-stage supercharger and water injection, that delivered 2800hp at sea level. More armour was added for the pilot and the engine. Gross weight rose to almost 10 ton.Performance had, of course, decreased. The AU-1 was rather unpleasant to fly, but it was a terrible ground attack plane. Only 111 were built between February and October 1952. You get 2 models. One grey one flown in 1957 and a blue one flown in Korea by the "Death Rattlers". Original mdl by Guy HULIN.

FS2004 JU52 Retro Restore Project Pt 1 of 2: A project to fly the FS2004 v6 Junkers JU52 (with wheels) in FS2002. Retro-Restoration from FS2004 back to FS2002 is under license from the JU52 Factory, Managing Director: Pierino Primavesi. Thank you Mr Primavesi for your very liberal approach allowing others to change and modify the factory product provided the outcome remains freeware. The factory v6 FS2004 JU52 aircraft are the best since CFs2 and FS2002 flyers have, until now, missed out. You can fly directly from the FS2004 v6 virtual cockpit in FS2002 without returning to the 2D panel to change settings or look at the GPS map. Fly to a FS2002 flight plan for time and fuel consumtion, day or night. Instructions, documentation, and test flights provided. This part only activates v6 D-ANOY using a version 3 panel with no GPS and a fly and hold autopilot. Freeware and packaged in 2 parts by Ross McLennan. FILE NAME: JU_Retro_Pt1.zip 9.1MB
FS2004 PART 2 of the JU52 RETRO-RESTORE PROJECT: This part of the project activates the aircraft HB-HOS IWC. A splashScreen and 3 panel designs are provided.
