What's New...
Last Update 06/01/01 - Back
at last! It has been a long, hard semester. Thankfully it is over and I
now have time to get back to the hobby. I have added 2 new files to the
Aircraft Files page. These are 2 really incredible versions of the Boeing
707. The first new aircraft, which is also the Featured Aircraft Of The
Month for June 2001, is a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 707-320 in the
airline's 1970's livery. The second new aircraft is a Northwest Airlines
Boeing 707-351B "Combi" (freight/passenger version) in the
airline's 1960's color scheme. Both of these graceful aircraft come to us
from the good folks at The Historic Jetliners Group. Both aircraft are
optimized for FS2000 and feature full moving parts, night lighting and
lots of great detail. I do love the classic jets!
I have updated the Links Page to include a
link to The Historic Jetliners Group page. In addition to their new
collection of Boeing 707 aircraft they also feature some of the finest
DC-8 series aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator I have ever seen. I
have also added a link to The International Aircraft Design Group's
website. Among the great selection of aircraft on their site is a
collection of BAe-146/RJ-85 aircraft that you have to see to believe. I
highly recommend a visit to both of these great sites.
If you have not visited Steve Gonwa's "The
Penguin Flight Page" site lately I highly recommend that you do
so. Steve has recently released Version 1 of his visually incredible
Milwaukee, WI scenery for FS2000. You have to see this scenery to believe
it. Every detail is there including static aircraft. Steve's site also
features his great Eastern Wisconsin scenery for FSFW95 and FS98 (which
also includes MKE) as well as many other Midwest sceneries by various
designers.
03/01/01 Update - I
have added 2 new files to the Aircraft Files Page. The first new aircraft is what I
believe to be finest example of a Boeing 727-200 around. Judging from the
reviews I have read at avsim.com and flightsim.com lately I am not the
only person who thinks this way. New to the Aircraft Files Page is an all
new FS2000 Northwest Airlines Boeing 727-251 Advanced in the company's
current color scheme. The aircraft is a Bill Alicea repaint of the Kevin
Trinkle FSDS original as modified by Gary Carlson. It features full night
lighting, animation and some outstanding flight dynamics editing by Sam
Chin. I have to say, this is one of the finest freeware aircraft for
Flight Simulator I have ever seen. A fantastic job by all involved! Not to
be overshadowed by the first great new aircraft, I have also added a brand
new FS2000 DeHavilland DHC-8 in Northwest Airlink colors (as operated by
Mesaba Aviation). This new addition is a repaint of the Chris Bawden/Gerritt Kranenbarg
original by Nick Botamer. The aircraft features full animation and night
lighting. Another outstanding new aircraft and a great job by
all.
02/07/01 Update - Well,
it's been a while, but I'm back. As we all know, real world commitments
come before hobbies and I have been very busy lately. Finally I have some
time to work on the site and some of those half completed projects that
have been sitting stagnant for the past few months. To start off, I have
added 3 new files to the Aircraft Files Page. The First new aircraft is a
beautiful new FS2K McDonnell Douglas DC-8-32 in the company's 1960's
livery from the DC-8 Project Team. This aircraft is an AF99 rework of the
Kim Simmelink original by Dee Waldron. It features full animation (by
Dee), along with FS2K flight dynamics modeling and textures by Michael Verlin
and night lighting by Yannick Charland. A stunning aircraft and a great
job by all. I have also added a couple of really nice new FS2K Embraer ERJ-145
Regional Jets in both American Eagle and Continental Express liveries.
These aircraft were a joint effort between Rafael Hidd, Felipe Taveira, and the Project Freeware Group.
Both aircraft feature full animation and night lighting.
