For those of you like me who longed for some realistic trains to set on the tracks, Dan French has finally given us our wish. He has created a library of over 50 classic American late steam era and early diesel era trains including the liveries of the famous Daylight of Southern Pacific and the famed Super Chief Streamliner and the universally used and loved Pullman passenger cars as well as freight cars and a caboose. Thank you Dan, much appreciated, and there is even a LA late era streetcar, these are designed to work on both FS9 and FSX and with some work can be made to run in AI mode, tho we are still doing research and hope to release some add on packages to install them in major cities and ideal locations. With some re skinning they can work for just about any train of any era.

Built in FS9 modelling, they should work in both FS2004 and FSX sceneries. Night lighting included on some engines and passenger cars. By Dan French. A great help and contribution to the sim world. thank you Dan. Chris

Shade is indeed an interesting concept, i will have to test it myself, but i see it does make anbiance and contextual Contrast changes in levels of hiearchy so that you get more depth in the visuals. I have felt that FX even with FEX and GEX is overly flat, so this may indeed help out a lot, but i was not too impressed with some of the high contract pictures, someone posted some mountain pictures that were overly dark. You always have some inherent light in natural lighting, the stormy weather pics are the most successful so far from what I see. thanks to all for sharing the pics and tests. Best way will be to try it out.

Is it possible for someone to restore the magificent collected improved Airports for Greece made by the wonderful Greece Airport Project (GAP) team?it has all of the airports and is a wonderful addtion to FS9here is the library entry info:Filename:megapack.zipLicense:FreewareAdded:20th January 2008Downloads:13711Author:Greek Airports Project TeamSize:81019kbthank you very much if this is possible. σε ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ

I purchased a copy of Ultimate Traffic for my install of FS9 but i have about 30 airlines installed with WOAI. I am assuming i should clean house of any other AI before installing UT.... the planes for certain but was not sure what sort of AFCAD WOAI installs..unfortunately i deleted the original installer for most of these WOAI airlines so cant use the built in function. my bad.can anyone advise what to remove from the WOAI files to make room for UT? i will keep digging on my own but wanted to ask for advice here too.

hi Jon! thanks so much for this work, amazing really, and such a wonderful enhancement for that beautiful region. I heartily reccomend the payware Vancouver as an adjunct as well

and just a word about those files, it is a wonderful add on by some of the best scenery makers in the FS universe, it really enhances Victoria very very nicely, with great detail and is one of the treasures of my installs, both FS9 and FSX.

Rick thank you vey much. I know there is a lot to restore, and i wouldnt bother you without thinking it over, but this pack is a remarkable resource and has a lot of variations in it, and over time things get harder and harder to find. I have been able to find panels and sound packs to make up for the fact that OpenSky no longer offers those options but the planes themselves are very nicely done and worth having back if possible. thanks again.

I have been digging for hours and here is the only place i found a trace of this pack:project_opensky_747-400v3_mega_pack.zipProject Opensky 747-400 V3 Mega Pack File Description:Project Opensky 747-400 V3 for FS2004 and FS2002 with over 30 liveries and all four models. Many thanks to Project Opensky (models, repaints and manual), Avsim members(repaints), and Devyn Silverstein(sounds) for their work to make this file complete.

Hi Radar and thanks.sorry that lnk is borked i think they lost it when they had their last crash. I did recieve a copy this morning and I will try to restore it uploaded here to Avsim and to SOH and Simaviation and flightsim too, as it is a great add on for WWI, thanks for the nice reply and the assistance. :)

Hello I am seeking an older scenery for WWI of Scapa Flow, that includes ships, and land forms and other scenery items by bortdafarm. It was in the library here but has gone missing since the last crash. It is also missing from SOH and flightsim, and simaviation. Can anyone help out with this, with a copy? I would very much appreciate it. I am trying to gather together all the WWI naval resources possible for some possible campaigns for CFS2 and need this scenery very much. It was done for FS2002. here is the description:scapaflow.zip (2.67 Meg)FS 2002/4 WW1 G-max ScapaFlow scenery..4 landable WW1 aircraft carriers plus dozens of assorted support vessels BB's seaplane carriers (many landable) plus fleet/carrier at Cromarty and shipping at Rosyth etc.. by bortdafarm If you have this and are willing to share, i will be happy to give you my e mail addy if you PM me.or a working link for it woudl be great.thanks very much for any help on this. bortdafarm also did some fine planes too, if anyone has any of them.
