This conversion of the FSX/P3D version has been updated with improved graphic and model details as well as full compatibility with the new MSFS systems.
The Winjeel makes it's way to MSFS. The Winjeel is a two-three seat, low wing, fixed undercarriage tail dragger. Construction is all metal with fabric covered control surfaces. Power is provided by a 450hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior nine cylinder radial engine driving a two bladed Hamilton Standard variable pitch propeller.
The Winjeel was the Royal Australian Air Force's primary piston trainer from 1955 to 1975. The Winjeel replaced the Tiger Moth and Wackett aircraft and was itself replaced by the NZAI CT-4 Airtrainer.
During the Vietnam war America's use of Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft had proved to be a great asset so in 1969 four Winjeel's were modified for use in this role by the addition of a smoke grenade dispenser and upgraded communications equipment. FAC Winjeel's were not used in combat but were used in training. Finally in 1994 the FAC Winjeel's were replaced by Pilatus PC-9 turboprops which brought an end to the Winjeel's nearly 40 years of service.
A total of 62 Winjeels were produced from 1954 to 1958 and delivered to the RAAF. 2 prototype aircraft (CAC-22) were produced in 1951 and required extensive testing and modifications to arrive at the final design of the Winjeel.
Original plans called for the prototypes to be fitted with Pratt & Whitney Wasps and CAC's own engine design in the production aircraft. This engine was a seven cylinder radial called the R-795 Cicada. In 1951 the Cicada program was scrapped and Winjeels were all fitted with Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior engines (the same engine used in De Havilland Beavers).
Interestingly, for a trainer, the Winjeels had three seats. Both the RAF and RAAF had specified three seats for their post WWII trainers. The theory being it would be possible to train two pilots at once, one being instructed whilst the other watched. This theory did not last long.
According to the Australian civil aircraft register there are 30 Winjeels currently registered. This FSX version is based on VH-OPJ (serial no A85-429 ) which is operated by Classic Aero Adventure Flights in Ballina NSW (http://www. classicaero. com. au). This particular aircraft has been modified to fit an additional seat to make it a four seater aircraft.
FEATURES
- There are two basic models, Normal and Forward Air Control (FAC). Each model comes in vintage and modern versions.
- A pop-up tablet is available which allows the user to set preferences and operate a simple autopilot (not a standard feature on the real aircraft).
- A pop-up GPS is available to aid in navigation.
- Persistent fuel and oil settings. When set the fuel and oil levels from the last flight will automatically be loaded into the next flight.
- Three custom pilots are available, vintage male RAAF pilot and modern male and female pilots. Default MSFS pilot and copilot can be selected with the Tablet.
- Exterior sound mixing. Mix in the level of the exterior sound to the interior sound. Opening the windows or canopy will also mix in the exterior sound.
- Three levels of engine starter realism.
- Engine oil consumption realism.
- Sparkplug carbon fouling realism.

Kinetic Assistant is a SimConnect utility that covers missing simulation or gameplay elements of the Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). Desktop application read sim variables and return adjusted values (like speed and rotation) back into the game to simulate some specific conditions, uplift inside of artificial hotspot for example. Also it can insert objects into the game, like AI tow planes.
Currently, these features are available: Winch, Tow, Hotspots, Catapult and Arresting gear, NMEA data exchange. All of them have limitations, so please read the description for each below.
* Kinetic Assistant has ALBATROSS competitions app integrated. All flight plans, weather presets and other kind of data related to race events are property of their authors, you are not eligible to republish them anyhow without author approval.
* Fully compatible aircraft:
DG808S (freeware, available on msfs. touching. cloud)
Discus2C (freeware, flightsim. to).
* Partially compatible aircraft: any native or legacy MSFS glider or carrier based aircraft.
* Hotspots data provided by thermal. kk7. ch and maps. openAIP. net services.
Package includes
* EXE application (installed . NET Framework is required)
* Towplane tracks – can be used on any runway, just choose takeoff direction properly
* Detailed PDF manual
* KineticPanel – MSFS toolbar with navigation and quick control buttons (winch, push, tow), spiral and birds for hotspots, animated ropes and winch vehicle.
Key features
a. Winch is the simplest way to get your glider into the air. You can select rope length and elasticity, winch speed, initial acceleration, rope damage and random failures chances.
b. You can replay the existing towplane route or create your own. Or just ask your friend to tow you on his favorite aircraft (but multiplayer towing has limitations). Available settings: connection point (nose, CG, tail), rope elasticity and damage. Also you can ask your crew to push you to the runway (no animated people though), use control device to move and rotate.
c. Simple replay tool to record towplane and glider flights, then replay single aircraft or several at once.
d. Catapult is a perfect option to take off from a small piece of land or aircraft carrier – set initial speed and prepare for launch. Any aircraft eligible for the catapult.
e. Arrestor gear can be used for aircraft carrier landings or emergency landing training on the usual runway. You can use any aircraft, actual tailhook presence is not required.
f. Hotspots are areas with updraft wind active during daytime, which can hold your glider in the air for a much longer time. You can load real life API hotspots or create your own map in LNM. Hotspots can be used together with native thermals (appear under wide clouds during hot temperature) and ridge lift (reflected wind).
g. You can connect external gliding application (like XCsoar) with MSFS by NMEA protocol to receive basic information about the flight – location, altitude, airspeed etc.
h. You can see other pilots, which uses KineticAssistant or ALBATROSS as well, on the world map
i. You can teleport to any selected location/altitude on the world map immediatelly
f. You can install and load any ALBATROSS Racing flight plan with related weather preset and participate in competition or perform training without need to care about best time.

In perfect harmony with the vegetation and terrain features, you can now choose from a wide array of season-oriented weather presets, totaling over 38 options. Each preset is a carefully crafted masterpiece, capturing the unique charm and challenges of the climate during that time.
Resilient Coloring
This new user-controlled feature keeps vegetation coloring consistent when the ground texture is too light in color, or the underlying ground image contains unnatural coloring. Resilient Coloring avoids vegetation fading or discoloring.
2 New Enhanced Regions; Aspen trees in Colorado and Larch trees in NW USA and SW Canada
Aspen trees, which turn yellow in the autumn, create stunning landscapes along with a backdrop of green conifers. These landscapes can be seen around many areas in Colorado including Aspen, Telluride, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, and many others. Larch trees, which are conifers that display yellow and orange hues during autumn can be found in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, in northern areas of Idaho and Montana, as well as in the mountains of southern British Columbia.
Lower Vegetation Density for Cities and Towns
This new innovative user-controlled feature introduces a significant enhancement to the visual aesthetics of cities and towns, creating a more harmonious and natural appearance.
The NEW Advanced Edition Further Enhances Selectable Vegetation Color Tones
We have successfully further enhanced vegetation color tones to present deeper warm tones and cooler cool tones. These subtle differences make a huge impact in-sim! Select the overall color tone that looks best to you, cool, warm, or neutral.
A Multitude of Vegetation Presets
Opt for manual mode with 25 realistic seasonal presets if you prefer. Every season has several unique presets.
Manage Your Seasons and Customization with a Unique, Simple, and Clean App
The automation window empowers users to schedule the application, enabling it to automatically install seasonal presets for both vegetation and terrain coloring. This intelligent feature operates in sync with the current date and time of the year, ensuring that your virtual environment continually reflects the evolving natural world.

Alternatively, venture from Sydney during Australia’s winter and touch down in Seattle, greeted by the vibrant greenery of summer!
Enhanced Content
Easily access specialized regional enhancements via the REX cloud as they become available. . . without the need to update the application!
Many Global Areas Updated for Accurate Vegetation Representation
New biomes have been created to depict steppe, tundra, Australian scrublands, New Zealand vegetation, and different conifer regions. Iceland’s conifer trees were replaced with suitable vegetation. A large central part of the United States now features deciduous trees, not conifer forests. Palm trees added to many cities where there were none.
Winter Deciduous Trees
Deciduous winter trees appear for all areas where the simulator depicts deciduous trees and the winter season applies. These trees show significantly less leaves and look great in winter landscapes with or without snow.
Selectable Deciduous Tree Canopy
In addition to the default rounded canopy, you can opt for an irregular-shaped canopy for deciduous trees. This unique canopy design adds a delightful touch, enhancing the diversity of shapes among deciduous trees. Furthermore, it often results in greater color variation within the tree, enhancing the overall depth and richness of its colors.
Tree Height Adjustment
3 options are available for tree height: short, medium, and tall. Additionally, some trees have been properly sized in the app to reflect more realistic proportions, such as the massively sized default trees that are displayed in Sydney Australia.

PASI - Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport
The airport is named after Sitka's former mayor Rocky Gutierrez. The airport includes a single terminal with a jetway with air service that is operated for a whole year by Alaska Airlines and seasonally by Delta Air Lines regional affiliate Delta Connection which is operated by SkyWest Airlines.

The airport includes a single terminal with a jetway with air service that is operated for a whole year by Alaska Airlines and seasonally by Delta Air Lines regional affiliate Delta Connection which is operated by SkyWest Airlines. The single paved runway is located on a causeway that juts off Japonski Island—buried on airport grounds patients who died from tuberculosis from the nearby SEARHC/Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital had to be relocated during construction. That section of the airport is, by this day, unofficially referred to as The Mausoleum.
Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport is located at an elevation of approximately 26 feet (8 meters) above mean sea level. The property includes one runway designated 11/29 with an asphalt surface measuring 7,200 by 150 feet (2,195 x 46 m). For one year, ending January 2, 2011, the facility had 23,100 aircraft operations, that on average, equals 63 per day. 43% of them represent air taxi, 8% scheduled commercial, 43% general aviation, and 6% military. At that time, there were thirty aircraft based at this airport, with 70% of them single-engine, 10% military, 13% ultralight, and 7% multi-engine.
SIT also has hangars and offices that serve local air traffic control, together with the Civil Air Patrol, and various private enterprises. U. S. Coast Guard Air Station Sitka has a complex attached to the Sitka Rocky Safety hazards involve ocean waves washing onto the runway during high winds, storms due to its exposed location, and significant flocks of birds that live very close to the airport. Because of these hazards, the airport is listed by airfarewatchdog. com as one of the ten most thrilling landing experiences in the world.
Alaska Airlines has served Sitka for about fifty years. In 1967, Alaska Air was operating Boeing 727-100 jet service into the facility on a round trip from Seattle to Kotzebue and was also operating flights with Convair 240 propliner service nonstop to Juneau. By 1969, Alaska Air had added a few stops on the route between Seattle and Alaska. It was operating a Boeing 727-100 jetliner on a round trip routing from Seattle to Sitka and the final destination at Kotzebue in addition to working Convair 240 service on a round trip routing of Annette Island Airport - Wrangell - Petersburg - Sitka - Juneau. Over the years, Alaska Air also operated Boeing 727-200 and 737-200 jets into the airport before switching to later model Boeing 737 jetliners. In 1986, Anchorage-based AirPac was working jet service into SIT with a British Aerospace BAe 146-100 aircraft that was flying a round trip routing of Seattle - Sitka - Anchorage.
Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Alaska Seaplanes now operate in the airport.
The main plane on this route is a Boeing 737-700 passenger, cargo, and mixed modification by Alaska Airlines.
