A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Skins Description: In the movie Flyboys the pilots from the Lafayette squadron are mostly fighting red Fokker Dr.1s and one black Fokker Dr.1. In reality the Lafayette squadron did not fight any Fokker Dr.1s and the Fokker were only painted red in the movie to make the easy to recognise for the audience watching the movie. In the movie there is one red Fokker with crossed swords painted on the fuselage. Most likely these swords were based on the swords which were painted on the Albatross D.II flown by VFw Erich Kohler from Jasta 9. The Fokker in the movie was flown by the fictional pilot Franz Wolferd a not so bad "bad guy". The black Fokker in the movie was flown by the non-existing "Black Falcon". The real bad guy, who of course was killed by the ultimate good guy, at the end of the movie. Enjoy, Huub June 2013 To check it out, rate it or add comments, visit Fokker Dr.1 from the movie Flyboys

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 3 Other Add-Ons - Effects Description: These files are required to activate the cockpit damage effects built into to some CFS3 models. Includes instructions on how to add the effects to existing models. Note - you need the Gmax source files to add these effects to aircraft models. Not an original idea by me but based on thoughts that have been floating around the cfs3 forums for years. To check it out, rate it or add comments, visit CFS3 cockpit damage effects pack.zip

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 3 German Aircraft Description: Stand alone model of Dornier 5k+AR - "The Goodwin Sands Dornier" This aircraft was shot down on Monday 26 August 1940. 5K + AR was one of 7 carrying 16 x 50kg bombs tasked with bombing the Fighter Command airfields in the Medway area. Before reaching the target and flying above the clouds, 5K + AR aircraft became separated from the rest of the formation and lost its bearings. It was then attacked by Boulton Paul Defiants from 264 Sqn based at Hornchurch in Essex. Both engines and the cockpit were hit. With at least one of their engines stopped, a forced landing was made on the Goodwin Sands at low tide (1340 hrs). Of the vrew of 4, two survived the landing and spent the war in captivity. The Dornier lay on the sea bed for over 70 years, covered by the shifting sands for alot of that time. It has now been recovered by the RAF museum and is being preserved, the last known example of this type of aircraft. 3d Model by: Stephen Seybolt Paintwork by: Alessandro Biagi

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - Other Description: This file contains 2 historic correct textures for Richard Alexander Van Hien's Fokker T.V. One depicts the 857 in pre-1940 colours with red-white-blue markings and the srcond livery depicts the same aircraft with the large orange markings which were introduced late 1939 to avoid confusion with British aircraft. Although the textures were originally done for FS2004, I assume they will work well on the coverted model in CFS2 as well. Enjoy, Huub
