Thorsten Loth of sim-wings has kindly sent some fresh and first images of their actual project: Fairbanks Airport, Alaska.
As we are told work is progressing steadily, all the building are in place, still missing the window mirroring effects as you will see in the below images. Basically all 3d-Objects like vegetation and vehicles are however still missing. But if you know the localities you will have no trouble recognizing the airport already.
Fairbanks Scenery will first launch in a FSX only version but Thorsten has good news for all FS2004 users: that version will follow suit and will be at no extra cost.
Two new products for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 have made their way onto simMarket’s virtual shelves this weekend from Aviasim, Saarlouis-Düren in Saarland, Germany, and Leicester Aeroclub Revisited in the Midlands of England.
Both products feature photorealistic ground textures and detailed custom structures, with BGL lighting and, in the case of Saarlouis-Düren, the up-to-date airfield layout, which post-dates available aerial imagery resulting in the ground polygons being constructed by hand from charts. To see more screenshots and purchase your copy of either or both of these GA aerodromes, click here for Saarlouis-Düren and here for Leicester Aeroclub.
“Flight Service Pack 3” is a collection of adventures from developers Perfect Flight that comes in two formats; ABL files for use in FS2004 and mission files for FSX. Simulating multi-crew airline operations with features including interactive briefings and cabin announcements, the product includes B737 and B747 repaints plus three flights – SW378 Dallas to Denver, UA274 – San Francisco to Honolulu and AA503 – Albany to Chicago, which are now bundled together in this single package.

Following their release of Flores for FSX, the team at Tropicalsim have now made it available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 as well.

Instead of searching for charts in different places over the web, FS-Charts is a new software launched by Hinrichs IT-Service. In one central place and offline on your hard disk, you’ll have all needed FAA navigational informations.
According to the maker’s homepage, it’s divided in region package. At simMarket, you can purchase the first US Package (~15.000 charts) for 1 year, and optionally for 2 years long. The Europe package with 15.000 charts more inside, should be ready later in a separate product.
How interesting it is when you have knowledge in code programming, you can reproduce some nice piece of software.

Toulouse Blagniac LFBO, home airport of Airbus Industries in Europe, from where they takeoff for first time. And it’s also an historic place for Sud Aviation Caravelle, Concorde and the first Airbus A320 productions.
Since 2005, the FS2004 scenery of Sim-Wings (Manfred Spatz) hasn’t received update so Aerosoft will be welcome with Toulouse X for FSX, and maybe FS2004. X-Plane 10 and Prepar3D versions are not excluded.

In our time and age, aircraft like McDonnell Douglas 80 (MD-80), a.k.a. Super80, Maddog or DC-9-80 series, are slowly disappearing. Newer, more fuel-efficient and more automated aircraft are coming onto the market. The older aircraft gain age and go out of production, which is basically the story of the ...
I am sure I did a mini review of this some time back but a lot has happened this programme and tons of new airports have been added so Terry thought it was time we did — or at least ‘I’ did a more in depth review of this fascinating ...

FSPS Flight Simulator Manager (FSM) is more of an analyzer than a manager and I suspect 95% of the users will find it to be the same. It is an application that runs separate from FS9/FSX and feeds you data collected from flight sim’s various modules and allows you to ...
