The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' first operational jet. Designed by George Carter, it first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with 616 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Gloster design team succeeded in producing an effective jet fighter that served the RAF and other air forces for decades.
This package provides a set of 3D models and XML gauges that enhance the experience of the virtual firefighting pilot that relies on the must-have FireFighterX module by Lorby-SI (to be purchased separately).
New 3D models are provided to be selected as FFX refill station model.
The animated and interactive marshaller gives visual instructions to the pilot for the advanced refill process (as per the French Sécurité Civile procedures). The refill hose is handled by its ground crew as required by the refill sequence. This allows for a immersive airtanker experience that does not rely on the "green band texts" for a successful refill process.
This is a reworking of the stock sceneries for the Milne Bay area at the SE end of PNG. It is designed for use with Rhumbas mesh, but the scenery excludes provided should mean this works well in a stock mesh install too.
Contents: New Ground2K scenery for each, including fringing reefs.
New airbase scenery, made using FSSC.
New gsl infrastructure.
New custom Landclass & Waterclass.
Some simple missions using the stock F4U-1A Corsair for viewing the gsl airbases & scenery.
The sceneries are as developed during late 1943 & encompass the immediate offshore islands. It includes a new seaplane base on Samarai island. This was developed by US Seebees in July 1943, & was an active base from the Autumn of that year.
Known conflicts: Installing this scenery pack will require the archiving of some airbases from Maskrider's Papua New Guinea scenery.
Gurney: My version is a more developed base layout than Maskrider's, from mid-1943.
Turnbull: My version is a more developed base layout than Maskrider's, from mid-1943.
Milne Bay No2: My version is at a slightly different location to Maskrider's.
Dogura: I struggled to find any reference to ww2 airstrip activity at Dogura, though there was a small runway used to service the Catholic "cathedral" built nearby. I replaced MR's airbase with a simple cleared short runway instead.
Installing this scenery pack: The G2K scenery included in this package requires copying contents of your scenedb/world/texture folder to your main CFS2 texture folder. (see SECTION A: TEXTURE PREPARATION)
SECTION A: TEXTURE PREPARATON
1. Highlight all files in your SCENDEB/WORLD/TEXTURE folder.
2. Copy and paste them to your main CFS2/TEXTURE folder.
3. If asked to overwrite click “no.”
4. Hi-lite all files in the MilneBay_UT_UT/TEXTURE folder.
5. Copy and paste them to your main CFS2/TEXTURE folder.
6. If asked to overwrite click “no.”
7. Highlight all files in the MilneBay_UT/SCENDEB/WORLD/TEXTURE folder.
8. Copy and paste them to your your CFS2/SCENDEB/WORLD/TEXTURE folder.
9. If asked to overwrite click “no.”
SECTION B: ADDING NEW SCENERY & GSL
12. Drop the folder "SWPTO_Islands_UT," "SWPTO_Reefs_UT," "SWPTO_River_Deltas_UT" & "SWPTO_Excludes_UT" into your main CFS2 folder, or wherever you pull your add-on scenery from.
Note: If these folders already exist, because you already have my Solomon Sea scenery installed, then simply copy the contents & if asked to overwrite click "yes" - this pack has the latest version of these files.
13. Next, drop the content of the gsl folder along with GSLMan.exe into your CFS2/GSL folder. If asked to over write click “Yes.”
14. Make a back-up copy of your current cfs2.gsl file. Its OK to leave it in the GSL folder- just rename it.
15. Open GSLMan.exe from inside your CFS2/GSL folder.
16. From the "Available Custom Gobs" list hi-light the gsl version you want. "Lite" is the air facilities only, "full" includes eye-candy. Select the MilneBay_UT (full or lite).gsl & click the "ADD" button.
17. Wait until GSLMan.exe says it's thru then…
18. Close GSLMan.
SECTION C: ACTIVATING & ARRANGING THE NEW SCENERY IN CFS 2
(NOT REQUIRED IF MY SOLOMON SEA scenery is already activated in CFS 2 & you added these new files to the relevant folder contents)
19. Activate the "SWPTO_Excludes_UT" scenery. Put this low down in your Library listing, just above the "Runways" (stock runways layer)is a good location.
20. Activate your "SWPTO_Islands_UT" scenery. This can be quite high in the listing, way above any mesh, watermasks or exclude layers, BUT CERTAINLY ABOVE the "SWPTO_Excludes_UT" layer! I put my G2K sceneries below the "Airport Facilities Data" layer.
22. Activate your "SWPTO_Reefs_UT" scenery. This needs to sit above the "SWPTO_Islands_UT" layer. You may see unusual display effects if this sits below the "SWPTO_Islands_UT" layer.
23. Activate your "SWPTO_River_Deltas_UT" scenery. This needs to sit above the "SWPTO_Reefs_UT" layer. As above, you may see unusual display effects if this layer ordering is not followed.
The screengrab of my own Scenery Library order is included in this zip & should help with clarification.
The scenery is installed.
NOTE: To make the runways available in MB enter the runway entries listed in the SolomonSea_UT/airbase_entries.txt file into your airbases.dat file which can be found in your CFS2/INFO folder. Be sure to back up your current airbases.dat file first.

FSX/Accel Pilotable & AI WWII battleship KONGO.zip
FSX / Acceleration WWII battleship of the Japanese Imperial Navy as pilotable and ai-version.
Mount Kongo was launched in 1912 and served as battlecruiser until 1929. She then got an reconstruction to a battleship, equipped with a catapult and carrying 3 floatplanes. In 1935 Kongo got again a modernisation to a fast battleship reaching more than 30 knots, equipped with less casemat guns but many more AA-guns. Kongo fought in the Pacific war from 1942 until November 1944, when she was sunk by the submarine USS Sealion. The pilotable version has a very detailed virtual navigation bridge plus a 2D panel. Twenty six camera views let you explore all decks and the virtual bridge. The gauges are made by Pierre-Jean Carosin. The ai-version is proposed to be used with the great tool "ai-carriers2."
The ultimate version of the Mustang was the P-51H, which was the fastest Mustang variant to see service and one of the fastest (if not the fastest) piston-engined fighters to enter production during the Second World War. However, it was destined never to see any combat, having entered service too late to participate in the final action against Japan.
FSX native version of the freeware Junkers Ju 52/3M by O.Fischer. Tested in P3Dv4.5 but should work in v5 and FSX. Included are a pair of Luftwaffe repaints by Hanaw Hax.

Note: This package was modified by the SOH librarian on 14 January, 2021 to include the following fix: FSX/P3Dv4,V5 native Cessna 172floatplane_floatfix
This fixes the water rudder not showing in the original model. Just replace the mdl file by this one. Fix by A.F. Scrub.
FSX / P3Dv4, V5 native Cessna 172 floatplane
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an all-metal, single-engine, four-seat, high-wing light utility aircraft, produced by Cessna Aircraft Company between 1958 and 1962.The model N of the Cessna 172 was not officially built to support water floats, but a certain number were successfully modified with floats by their owners and other enthusiasts. This modification has proved especially useful in locations where the landscape has many lakes, rivers and shores.
This is a repaint for the beautiful Messerschmitt Bf108 Taifum model by Guenther Kraemer. You can find this model at Flightsim.com (filenames GKME108.zip and GKME108a.108). The repaint depicts the Bf108 flown by Major Erich Hoenmanns in 10 January 1940. This flight ended with a crash close to the village Mechelen aan de Maas, currently known as Maasmechelen in Belgium. His passenger, the Major Helmuth Reinberger, was carrying plans for the invasion of France and the Low countries, known as Fall Gelb. The repaint is based on the pictures taken after the crash.
As Guenther made this model specifically as model from the D-EBIE, there are some restrictions in the repaint possibilities. Therefore the registration at the bottom of the wings is missing. (the same part of the texture is used for the top and bottom of the wings).
When you want to fly this repaint with a more authentic panel I can recommend the vintage panel by Steffen Moessner, which included in his very nice D-IOIO repaint for this Bf108 (available at flightsim.com as well).
This folder contains a repaint for the Piaggio/Focke Wulf P.149 for MSFS2020, in the colors of Piaggio P149D c/n 344 3E-AB of the Austrian Air Force. This was last Italian built Piaggio P.149, c/n 344, built in 1957, and it was given to the Austrian Army, who used it as a liaison aircraft for the staff of the Air Force command between 1958 and 1965, when it was sold, becoming OE-DPM. As far as I know, it is in storage in Austria at LOLS.
