Mathieu mentioned this on another thread. I hadn't heard of it, so I'm pasting the contents here.

Welcome to
Voodoo's Hangar
Home of the FSX Aircraft Maintenance Unit
The Hangar aims to provide a small but useful collection of enhancements for Microsoft's FSX flight simulator. Some material is original to the site, some is collaborative, some is derivative from public works, and some is just plain old somebody else's work in the public domain. But all are credited and thanks are given to everyone who has put in the effort for the benefit of the FSX freeware community. We hope the site will remain useful as enhancements are added over time.
Please enjoy the efforts of everyone who has contributed to this site.

Carrier Enhancements (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/) (updated 24-apr-10)http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/file/view/updated_2.gif/111310995/updated_2.gif
This is the page for carrier and warship enhancements. You will find steam catapult and various wake effects here.
AccPack F/A-18 Tweaks (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/AccPack+F18+Tweaks) (last updated 03-jan-10)
You will find a number of useful tweaks and fixes for the Acceleration Pack F/A-18 Hornet in this section.
Touchdown Effects (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/Touchdown+Effects) (added 04-jan-10)
This new effect produces tyre skidmarks on the tarmac at touchdown, along with a more realistic blue-grey smoke from the tyre rubber.
Heat Shimmer Effect (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/Heat+Shimmer) (added 22-dec-09)
This is an effect that simulates the visual distortion caused by the hot exhaust from an engine's jet wash. It comes in two different scale versions and can be easily added to the aircraft.cfg file of any aircraft in your collection.
Lockheed C130 Hercules (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/C130+Hercules) (v2.0) (added 25-nov-09)
This is a significant enhancement of Mike Stone's original C130. Version 2 of the Voodoo package has new RAF textures, Canadian Air Force textures, and the Blue Angels "Fat Albert" (circa 2009) livery with JATO rockets and a Thrust Boost when the JATO rockets are active. It also features an alternative early variant panel as well as the modern C130J panel. The flight dynamics have been tweaked, and the package includes layered paintkits in PSP format (Paint Shop Pro). Special effects for Version 2 include: Tyre Skid Marks, upgraded Engine Sounds, Engine Smoke, JATO rockets with thrust boost, Flares, a widescreen panel for Matrox TripleHead2Go users, a Wing Ice detector, Propwash Effects for both dirt and tarmac, and Thrust Reverser Effects for wet and dry conditions. The new visual effects make special use of the [SMOKESYSTEM] section in the aircraft.cfg file and will work properly under all lighting conditions (day, dusk, dawn and night).
New Ground Roll Sound Effect (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/New+Ground+Roll) (v2.0) (added 26-jul-09)
A couple of sound files that I have put together to replace the default sound that you hear from inside an aircraft as it trundles around on the apron, or thunders down the runway. I always felt the default sounds were not really immersive enough. The enhanced bumps and clanks should bring some new life to your take-off runs. (Version 2 has been improved to remove an annoying "loop" effect).
New Sun Effect (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/New+Sun) (added 28-dec-08)
This beautiful effect by Dave Bolger replaces the default sun effect in FSX. It turns the daylight sky in FSX into something far more realistic and transforms the already impressive dusk and dawn skies of the sim into something truly remarkable.
Presented here on the Hangar in it's original unaltered release, it's one of my favourite tweaks. - Voodoo
New Waves (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/New+Waves) (added 24-dec-08)
In 2007 a chap called David Cotton created an alternative effect to what he, rightly, felt was a very poor wave effect in the default FSX. I was inspired to use the textures he had created but to write a new fx_waves.fx file to improve on the results he achieved. Thanks and credit go to David for the work he did uncovering how the effect worked and for inspiring me to make this effect even better. - Voodoo
Local Environment Map (http://voodoo.wikispaces.com/Environment+Map) (added 23-dec-08)
This small environment map file can be used to great effect especially with models imported to FSX from FS2004. It eliminates the annoying effect of the reflected environment appearing to "rotate" on aircraft windows, cockpits, and reflective fuselages.
