X-Plane 11.50+ Fairey Gannet 1.2. The Fairey Gannet is a British carrier-borne aircraft of the post-Second World War era. It was developed for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (FAA) by the Fairey Aviation Company. It was a mid-wing monoplane with a tricycle undercarriage and a crew of three, and a double turboprop engine driving two contra-rotating propellers. The Gannet was originally developed to meet the FAA's dual-role anti-submarine warfare and strike requirement. It was later adapted for operations as an electronic countermeasures and carrier onboard delivery aircraft. Four variants are included in this Mega-Pack with more paint schemes and animated features like propellers, bridle cables, canopies, bomb bay doors, radar radome and tailhook. Special effect included exhaust and startup smokes. Documentation included. By Vasco Ribeiro.

X-Plane 11.30+ Aerospatiale Gazelle 1.0.1. The Aerospatiale Gazelle is a French five-seat helicopter, commonly used for light transport, scouting and light attack duties. At over 50 years since its maiden flight there are still quite a few of these still flying. There hasn't been a version of this aircraft on X-Plane for a long time so I thought I'd put something out there. It's a bit of a quick-fix but I think it has potential. If anyone doesn't like it they are free to change it and distribute their own version: it is GPL/GNU licensed. This distribution even includes source object/model files (in AC3D format) to help with this. By John Bray.
X-Plane 11.30 AS-565 Panther. The Eurocopter AS565 Panther is the military version of the Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin medium-weight multi-purpose twin-engine helicopter.This X-Plane model include two types: a Pedro and a commemorative Panther. These two aircraft are very close in terms of equipment: the AS 365 F "Dauphin Pedro" on board the aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" is mainly assigned to sea rescue in the crew rescue mission. The AS 565 SA "Panther" on board the Cassard, Lafayette, and Forbin type frigates, is devoted to anti-submarine warfare and the protection of civil or military ships in the fight against terrorism. These aircraft respectively equip the 35F and 36F fleets of the French Navy since 1990, the year of their launch by Aerospatiale Marignane. Made by Bernard JUNIOT (Berju83), with the assistance of the Virtual Pilot-members and RFN. The download link takes you to the developers own site (select the yellow text: "Panther AS565" to download).
X-Plane 11 Vought F4U-1 Corsair 2.0. The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. The Corsair was designed and operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of World War II. From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured in 16 separate models. Its 1942-53 production run was the longest of any U.S. piston-engined fighter. By Stephane Toledo.

I modeled a 3-D Tablet which is mounted to the captains side of the cockpit for the G1000. The G1000 Map slides out of the tablet on its own slide-out panel which is controlled using the "Map" rocker switch located on the top right of the Tablet. It is hooked to Slider #10 if you want to set up a keyboard shortcut for the Map slide-out. I use (Shift+F10) I also hooked the Hide/Show Yoke animation to the Tablet. "Y" on the keyboard or click the mounting bracket on the side of the cockpit wall.
-Wing ice lights functional. Operate via a switch on the lower 3d panel...a dimmer switch on the overhead panel... and one on the 2d panel.
- Interior dynamic lighting effects for the pilot flight lights (panel lights), overhead flood lights, and for the passenger area of the cabin. Passengers have their own lighting rheostats when seated at a table.(work in progress...will update) Best if your Visual Effects setting is set to high(HDR).
- Hide/Show yoke option available. Shortcut key "Y" or click where the yoke passes through the panel.
- Customized the radios so now they are a nice amber color instead of the default red.
- 8 Liveries included with this download.- 6 repaints- 1 color guide- 1 your paintSlider animations:***You may need to go into settings, keyboard, operations, sliders and assign a keyboard shortcut to the sliders*** (or just click on the ones that are available to click. The wing lockers and door handle are not clickable)
- Port wing locker is hooked to slider 1--- Starboard to slider 2. (my keyboard assignments for the sliders...shift+F1, shift+F2...etc.)- Main exit latch is controlled by slider 3 (just animates unlocking the door...not required to open it)

X-Plane 11 Scenery--3W5 Mears Field 1.2. Concrete, Washington State (WA), USA. Mears Field, or formerly known as Concrete Municipal Airfield is a small airport in northern Washinton. It is located along the Skagit river, just south of Lake Shannon and Baker Lake, and just south of mount Baker. An incredibly scenic area within the Cascade Range, great for mountain flying (as weather permits). Mears Field has a relatively short paved runway and high trees on both runway ends, making it a very tricky airport. It also is home to wonderful historic aircraft from the North Cascades Vintage Aircraft Museum and hosts many fly-ins. Plenty of Fairchild, Luscombe and Waco aircraft to be found! Nearly all airport buildings have been custom built purely based on readily available imagery. Off-airfield buildings are library versions. Library requirements are listed in the package. By Nils Lips.
X-Plane 11.30+ Vickers Valiant 2.0. This is a re-post of Daniel Grimes original model, updated (with permission) for X-Plane 11. Daniel's original description is as follows: The Valiant was the first V bomber in service; and the first out of service! It was designed as a low-tech stop gap until the more risky Vulcan and Victor were brought into service. The Valiant didn't have the aesthetic beauty of its Vulcan and Victor stable-mates, so it's the lesser known V-bomber. It was also hastily withdrawn after 10 years operational service because of fatigue problems that became evident when the role was switched from high to low altitude (as the Vulcan and Victor took on the high altitude role) - the main wing spar failed whilst a Valiant was in flight, but it got back to base. The Valiant saw operational service against Egypt in 1956. The zip file contains 3 Valiants: Type 660 Prototype - less powerful engines and a bit lighter than the production model - finished in bare metal, Type 673 Valiant B2 Pathfinder, and lastly Type 706 Valiant B1. Details of each type are contained in the included documentation. My thanks again to Daniel for allowing this model to be updated. By Ray Hill.
X-Plane 11.30+ AVRO 707 1.0.1. Avro built four prototypes to test a variety of handling characteristics for wing shapes on the Vulcan bomber. This is simply a re-post of Daniel Grimes' original work run up to V11 (mustn't be allowed to rot on the scrapheap). Each plane has different handling characteristics (the first two are quite nasty). Please fly from the external view (shift 4) as the cockpit interiors need re-doing (not that there will be anything too exciting in these anyway). It is interesting see the visual differences through the versions and compare layouts with the MK1 Vulcan (particularly the C version). Landing a delta has challenges requiring a nose high approach which gives high ground effect at flare, so the aircraft will often just float down the runway if the speed is too high. Later on the Fairey Delta 2 was used in a similar way to evaluate the Wing for Concorde. Please see the included documentation for further details on this model. By Ray Hill.
X-Plane Austrian Airlines Fokker 50 1.0. This is an Austrian Airlines livery for the Fokker 50 by Carenado. If there are any mistakes or you wish to ask for a special registration, please don't hesitate to contact the author (please see the included Readme file). By Atarium.
X-Plane 11.30+ Valiant B1 2.0. The Valiant was the first V bomber in service, and the first out of service! It was designed as a low-tech stop gap until the more risky Vulcan and Victor were brought into service. The Valiant didn't have the aesthetic beauty of its Vulcan and Victor stable-mates, so it's the lesser known V-bomber. This is a collaborative work using the existing build posted from about a month ago: VICKERS_VALIANT.ZIP. It is released as a new plane because it has has significant added functionality. Major credits are to Daniel Grimes for his original framework, and also to DomHenry for hours of detailed graphics work and subsequent object blending (particularly on the complicated intake area). Undercarriage, airbrake, intake geometry and bomb bay improvements were my own main contributions. Please see the included documentation for further details on this model. By Ray Hill.

X-Plane 11.30+ Aeronca Chief 1.5.1. The Aeronca Chief is a single-engine, two-seat, light aircraft with fixed conventional landing gear, which entered production in the United States in 1945. Designed for flight training and personal use, the Chief was produced in the United States between 1946 and 1950. Version 1.5.1: elevator deflections corrected, and changed the struts on the 72Y livery to blue to more accurately reflect those on the real aircraft. If you enjoy the Chief, please leave a comment as it's always nice to see work appreciated. By Alex Jenns.
X-Plane 11.30+ Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1 1.0.1. Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II began, but problems with engines, metallurgy and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor. Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied aircraft shot down, although higher claims are sometimes made. This X-Plane model features a fictional livery. Cockpit functions still require work, but the rest of the plane is nicely done. Please see the included Readme file for more information on this model. November 2019 update: a few new objects added to the cockpit. By Stephane Toledo.
