North American Harvard Mk.4 German Air Force (Bundeswehr), now flyable in FSX Acceleration. All credits are for the original authors. Acceptable 2D-panel & VC (all gauges included). Original sounds. Enjoy!

FS2002 Boeing B-47E Stratofortress, now flyable in FSX Acceleration. All credits are for the original authors. Full working 2D-panel (all gauges included), an illusion of a VC. Three liveries: USAF-SAC, NASA-Weather and Royal Canadian Air Force. Enjoy!

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.

Pitcairn-Cierva Autogiro Company of America PCA-1A

In the late 1920's, Harold Pitcairn had established a sterling reputation as a builder of rugged biplanes used by airmail services. He had also founded what would eventually become Eastern Airlines. Yet by 1930, Pitcairn had begun dismantling these enterprises to support the highly speculative venture of developing and producing an American version of Juan de la Cierva's experimental Autogiros. Although, the Autogiro would prove to be a minor player in twentieth century aviation, Pitcairn nonetheless was able to succeed, at least temporarily, in his enterprise and, by 1940, had sold scores of the groundbreaking aircraft. The PCA-1 was Pitcairn's first Autogiro project and successfully demonstrated that he and his engineering staff not only understood Cierva's innovation, but also that they were capable of improving upon it.

The word 'Autogiro' is actually a proprietary name coined by Juan de la Cierva. His designs were the first aircraft to fall in the gyroplane category. Nonetheless, nearly all gyroplanes built from the 1920s through the end of World War Two became commonly known as 'autogiros' (or the more generic 'autogyros'), regardless of the manufacturer. A gyroplane is an aircraft that derives most, if not all, of its lift from the unpowered autorotation of a horizontally mounted rotor or rotors. Unlike a helicopter, an engine does not drive the rotor blades while the aircraft is in flight. Instead, the resultant of the lift and drag forces acts to pull the blade forward in rotation while also creating lift - the same effect that turns the sails on windmills. This state of autorotation is only possible with a sustained airflow through the rotor disc, with the air moving from below and in front of the rotor to above and behind it. The gyroplane requires some propulsive force to maintain sufficient speed to sustain autorotation and hold altitude. In the Cierva and Pitcairn Autogiros, an engine driving a tractor propeller supplied the necessary force. If the pilot reduced throttle while flying, the rotors would begin to slow and the autogiro would descend. The increased airflow of the descent allowed the rotors to continue in autorotation and maintain the blades in an unstalled condition - even without the forward pull of the propeller. Although the pilot still had to keep some forward motion for a landing flare-out, and to maintain airflow over the control surfaces, it allowed for unpowered and near vertical descents ending in a very short landing rollout. This was an excellent safety feature in case of engine failure. Nonetheless, until the advent of direct control gyroplanes, the diminished control effectiveness in slow speed flight required a highly experienced Autogiro pilot to perform minimal rollout landings.

Most of the early gyroplanes were nearly identical to single-engine low-wing monoplanes, with the exception of the rotor mounted on a pylon in front of the cockpit that provided the primary source of lift during slow-speed flight. They employed standard airplane-type control surfaces (elevator, aileron, and rudder) and fixed pitch rotor blades. The stubby monoplane wing did not serve primarily for the generation of lift. Rather, it was a convenient means of mounting the ailerons and providing stability. It also had the unintended benefit of making the aircraft appear more conventional to skeptical airplane operators who were doubtful about flying without fixed wings.

Cierva constructed his first Autogiro, the coaxial rotor C.1, in 1920. As the rotors on the C.1 autorotated at different speeds, rendering the aircraft incapable of controlled flight, he decided to switch to a single rotor design. However, the abortive first flight of the new aircraft revealed a problem that he had not considered. As the Autogiro began to gain speed during its takeoff roll, the rotor blade that was turning towards the front of the aircraft received the benefit of additional airspeed because of the forward motion of the Autogiro. However, the blade retreating towards
