This PART3 of the Project was originally prepared for uploading with Part2 but we were unsure of what paint scheme might be used for the real BBMF Lancaster flypast. Koos van Menen of the Netherlands has produced the 'Thumper Mk.III' paint scheme and thus it makes it possible to upload this Part. Three paints are provided for the Plane-Design BBMF PA474 Mk 1 Lancaster fitted with Merlin 24's and covering the years 2000-2013. The 2000 paint is by PD and the 2007 paint by UKMIL. As with the other two parts they are fully converted/flyable FS9 to FSX PD Lancasters by Ross McLennan. A version is also supplied for just the VC/BA view. Full aircraft are provided to fly in WVA. This is not a Dambuster aircraft and only needs to be flown at an altitude of 1000 ft over the Derwent Dams. A new scenery package is provided to ensure PA474 lands at Scampton and parks with the 5 Dambuster Ai Lancasters that survived the raid. PARTS 1 & 2 MUST BE INSTALLED and active for the two additional saved flights to work (just search 'dambuster' in all FSX files). Koos has provided the paint in a form that makes it suitable for use with the payware FS9 aircraft. FS9 payware simmers should just follow the instructions in the readme_FIRST.txt file to activate PA474 as Thumper Mk.III and FLY. Enjoy!

I updated the JS-Design Do-335 A2 and Kazunori Ito's Dornier Do-335 A12/Night Fighter by adding Jacques Alluchon's Panel for the Do-335, Aaron R. Swindle's Improved P-51 sound set, and texture thumbnails. I also included the Tom Wood/Simtech Do-335 V13 with Aaron R. Swindle's Improved P-51 sound set, and texture thumbnail. The A2 has no VC, the A12 has a non-working VC, and the V13 has a working VC.
Textures only for A.F. Scrub's Mustang P-51H. Aircraft not included; requires the Mustang-P51H.ZIP file. This is painted as an H-model flown by the Texas Air National Guard in the late 1940's. Repainted by R.E. Wyman.

They gyrocopter in the past, lost the evolutionary race to the helicopter, but with modern tech, it could make a comeback. In that favor, the year of 2019 will also be remembered for the first gyrocopter flight around the world. Pitcairn PA-18 Autogiro, Jean Harlow & Tito Falconi, Southern California, 1933.

In fact it represents a critical breakthrough conceived by true innovator Juan de la Cierva (born 1895), who was interested in eliminating the stall/spin problem of fixed-wing aircraft in the early 1920s.

The Pitcairn autogiro is a 39 meg download from the Pilot Shop and comes at an attractive price, so it made an irresistible target for a review. Golden Age had just patched the sim up to version 1.2 at the time I downloaded it and it came down the link at seconds flat.

Comes with VC. High rpm and max.rpm external sounds based on files from Po-2 by Igor Goncharov & Alexander Belov with autor's permission. Model & textures by SWingman.
Pitcairn PCA-2 Autogiro, now updated for FSX Acceleration. 2 Models & 10 liveries. Full working VC, all necessary gauges included. All credits are for David Wooster for his great model. Enjoy!

Xenon XLC2 Gyrocopter. First of all, the flight model of this add-on isn't exactly like the real thing; it's better. To date, the real Xenon gyro isn't able to do true VTOL, nor is it able to perform zero-airspeed hovering or jump-takeoffs. But this is expected to change in the near future, like already seen in e.g. the Carter Gyro Demonstrator. By Glenn Orlosky.

1 This craft is not complete, but were it to remain in the hangar you would not get the enjoyment out of this superb craft.
2 This craft has excellent flight dynamics as a normal gyrocopter would.
3 This craft has the unique capabilities we may see in our lifetime created by none other then Rob Barendregt who made VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) available as you may have experienced in an V-22 Osprey.

Introduction
The craft was designed after the original Xenon XLC2, but there were some additions so as to allow the future concepts to be incorporated all in one model:
* VTOL and STOL
* Hoist and Sling
* Fire Suppression retardant
* Floats
* Retractable Landing Gear

The Files
README_Intro.txt = this document
README_VTOL.txt = Rob Barendregt's explanation of how to fly using his VTOL modification
Xenon_XLC2_071210.zip = the standard files which are placed under the Airplanes folder
Xenon_Effects_071210.zip = two effects for fire suppression placed in the Effects folder
Xenon_Gmax_071210.zip = Gmax scenes, bitmaps, modified modeldef.xml and the RADitor.exe file for resizing the model

Enjoy ......
