FSX Acceleration Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II v2.10. The F35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation, single-seat, single-engine stealth multirole fighter that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. The F-35 has three different models: the F-35A is a conventional takeoff and landing variant, the F-35B is a short take off and vertical-landing variant, and the F-35C is a carrier-based variant. Includes custom HUD by Jivko Rusev and Scott Printz, sound package by Serge Luzin, and conventional flight dynamics by Roberto Leonardo and full STOVL functionality by Rob Baredregt and Mario Motta. Designed by Dino Cattaneo.

FSX Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. The Kazunori Ito C5 package updated for FSX. Includes panel by Philippe Wallaert and sound pack by Christoffer Petersen. Package by Michael Roberts.

FSX Port-Over DeHavilland Dash 7, not compatible with FS2004. With backing from the Canadian government, de Havilland Canada began in late 1972 the development of a larger capacity short/medium range Short-Take-Off-and-Land (STOL) transport that would provide the higher standards of comfort to be found in much larger airliners. Designated DHC-7, and later named Dash-7, the first of two pre-production aircraft (C-GNBX-X) made its maiden flight on 27 March 1975. The first production aircraft (C-GNBX-X) was flown on 20 May 1977 and about 47 are in service still today. Package includes three models, custom panel and gauges, custom sounds, two Flight Model options, and seven liveries with more available for separate downloads. By Milton Shupe, Scott Thomas, Mike Kelly, Bernt Stolle, Tom Falley, and sounds by Nigel Richards. Final beta testing by members of Sim-Outhouse.

FSX Airbus A321 FD Special Version V3. This is a special version of the Project Airbus A321 with all working virtual cockpit, based of the Stefan Liebes panel with added many new features like ehanced PFD and ND screens (TCS, filght plan page, destination airport page with runways, ILS frequencies...). Includes a navigation gauge that can replaces the FMC for automatic climb. Also real fuel management (specific gauge) with engine feed from center tanks to wing tanks, with reserve management and low level alarm and procedure; all pumps and valves work. By Francois Dore.

Features: 2D and 3D panel based on original FS2000 Concorde gauges; accurate custom FSX flight model created for the CONCALL 3D model; correct wheel dynamics and animation tested in Deluxe and Acceleration Pack; correct auto-managed fuel balance all phases of flight; forward wing vortex during landing/take-off; engine afterburner effect engine four wing vortex intake suppression; advanced FSX 3D sound environment; exit and landing light extension warning lights; electrical and icing warning lights; panel includes Default FSX Lear APU for engine start; working Engine start switches based on original Concorde gauge switches; extensive kneepad checklist and reference files including procedure tutorials; tested and optimized for Active Sky 2012; TCAS gauges supporting AI only provided; optional commented panel file includes ability to easily enable ISG1 FMC. ISG1 aircraft profile for the Concorde provided; Advanced FSX auto-pilot performs near perfect ILS and GS approaches from up to 90 degrees off the approach track when correct weight, speed and altitudes are used; 3D cockpit lighting without the need for landing lights; By Paul R. Varn. (See also CONCALL2012_PATCH.ZIP)

FSX Virgin Galactic Boeing 747-8i with advanced VC by Alejandro Rojas Lucena and VC textures upgrade by Enrique Cornejo. This gives the B747 a payware virtual cockpit look and now with green leather tapestry on the sides of the seats. It even has a pilot jacket hanged in the rear of the cockpit. The panel.cfg and the aircraft.cfg have been assembled and edited by the Flightsim Workshop Team. Now you can pop up "my icons" window in the virtual cockpit to easily reach the following windows: GPS, avionics, map, ATC, climb/radio altimeter/spoiler switch, auto-break switch, throttle quadrant, clock, descentometer, kneeboard and overhead panel. A new feature in my icons window is pitot heat switch with on and off features (XML gauge by Enrique Cornejo). The autopilot on switches have green lights which make them look more realistic. Center ATC identification in this aircraft is "Boeing 747". The position of the strobe lights has been fixed. The cockpit view from the pilot's seat is now more comfortable because the distance to the seat is longer. The aircraft has new engine views and new VC interior views. The brakes have a differential brakes system to make smoother turns on the ground. The Virgin Galactic Spaceship texture is wonderful and it has a unique paint scheme by Enrique Cornejo which includes details such as stains caused by humidity and other details just like a real aircraft, real smoke in the four engines, more cabin views, realistic sound and more realistic night VC lights and fuselage night textures. The aileron parameters have also been improved, so now turns are smoother. This aircraft uses the Project Open Sky FSX Boeing B747-800 model OSX748V4_GENX (MDL), and includes the gauge window Posky Utility to view the main stairs, ground cargo servicing, etc. The engine sounds are edited like the real ones with cockpit ambient. The Flight Management Computer (FMC) is fixed and looks like a payware instrument. The VC includes FMC, Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MDF) displayed in the correct size. The virtual cockpit also has an Engine-Indicating and Crew-Alerting System also known as EICAS, Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), working wipers, cabin lights, fire suppression, avionics switch, fuel crossfeed. You can also find landing lights switches, taxi light switch, engine generators, APU generator, battery switch, starter switches, de-ice switch, general lights switches. The clock numbers are now in orange which makes them look better and easily recognizable. Assembled and edited for FSX by Flightsim Workshop Founder Enrique Cornejo.

FSX Northrop Grumman B-2A Block 30 Spirit stealth bomber. The B-2 maintains stability through use of several wing slats, all computer controlled, and if the computer fails, there is no option for the pilots other than bailing-out. There is no way the pilots can instruct the slats to work properly. The aerodynamics incorporated are real world, including the engine dynamics and MOI (Moments of Inertia). The aircraft included here is designed for educational purposes only, and modifications are protected by the Fair Use Doctrine. Original design by Batrakio_02. Sounds by Ruggero Osto. Real world engine/aerodynamics by Douglas E. Trapp. (See also B-2AUP-1.ZIP)

FS2004/FSX Fly Emirates Airbus A380-861, registration A6-EDZ, the "25" A380 for the airline. Repaint for the model from Project Airbus; model included. Features: dynamic wing flex with input from several new parameters including ground spoilers, fuel load, and angle of attack, control surface droop when the engines are off, independent parallel bogies when on the ground, custom tire rotation code, animated pack vents, idle-reverser animation, ground spoilers, smoothed gear and flap animations, customised nose wheel steering animation, accurate aileron LAF simulation, custom coded engine fan start-up and shutdown animations, windmilling engine fans (including fan inertia), improved antenna hiding method--alpha no longer required, thereby avoiding the "fuse hole" issue in FSX SP2, animated window wipers, animated probe sensors, hard coded "double strobes" By Carlos Eduardo Salas.
