Joan was the aircraft flown by Lt Russel Fredendall of the 507th FS/ 404th FG. He was hit by Flak on the 25th of June 1944, near Foret de Cinglais while flying at 200ft. His aircraft crashed and exploded and Lt Fredenhall was killed.

It was bound to happen sooner or later! Been on the same install since 2007, but now.....:( I apologize for having to ask because I've seen the previous posts discussing it but I am unable to locate any of them. I've done all I know to do. Here's the situation. Loaded up the Virt C-17 and took it for a test hop. Wow! Gotta learn to fly all over again! Anyway, then began installing more MAIW places and planes and a couple fo Hawaii sceneries. Went to open FS9 to do the scenery library installs and got the MS screen of death! Interestingly enough, before the BS of death flagged I got the banners telling that FS was building new scenery files. Once those were executed, a few more seconds of grinding then the bad news. Since I manually install all my addons I was able to remove all the files I and just installed but no joy!

Gary Hartstein was the former 'F1 doctor' until he was fired last year. In this interview he talks about his job, Sid Watkins and how he lost his job.

I really wasn't planning on buying anything after I bought the C-17 last week, but I overlooked the CH-53 and decided that for less than $9 I needed to add this to the hangar, especially since its brother, the MH-53 Pave Low, is one of my favourite helicopters. The Sea Stallion flies just as good, has a nice cockpit and a real nice 'heavy' soundset. At avsim.com I found a repaint pack by Pierre Lheureux which was made for Fs9 but works in FsX too if you add a texture.cfg to each tecture folder.

Available now at Flightsim.com and Avsim.com: FS2004 Scenery Central Europe 1961. This scenery package contains twelve airports in Germany, nine in the Netherlands, one in Luxembourg, three in Switzerland, and three in Austria, providing taxiways and details as they were at the beginning of the 1960's. Also includes the harbors of Rotterdam, Hamburg and Den Helder, all the lighthouses along the Dutch coast and some along the German coast, and the island of Helgoland, created from scratch. Although most of the airports of the package are for civil use, it also includes some Dutch military bases with AI and static aircraft. At many of the airports you will find moving crash tenders and at Amsterdam moving airport buses. Made as close as possible using available photos and information. The goal was to reflect something of the atmosphere and feel of that period, prior to the all-jet era of today.
