“The package will feature the long nosed Ranger straight six powered F24R series and the radial engine Super Scarab powered 24W series.  These will feature a super detailed interior, high resolution textures, superb sound packages, and 2 bush plane variants as well.”

To further tease fans of classic GA, shortly after the Press Release was issued, the Facebook page of Screenshot Artist was updated, now including 44 images of the Fairchild models’ exterior and interior.

This latest release from Imagine Sim, covering the airport, is a major recreation set over a satellite image, with the developers stating that they have accurately placed literally thousands of objects, right down to the security cameras covering the fence, along with personnel, vehicles, high resolution textured buildings and custom ground textures. Individual versions are available for FS9, released a short while ago, and now FSX, with a demo to ensure it works with your system before purchase.

Changing hands regularly between France and Britain over the years, the island is now independent, although retains close [...]]]> The island of Saint Lucia is known primarily as a tourist destination, although much of its economy has also ridden on the offshore banking industry in recent years, as well as large exports of bananas and plantains

Changing hands regularly between France and Britain over the years, the island is now independent, although retains close membership with both France and the UK, as well as its neighbours in the Caribbean Sea. Saint Lucia is served by two airports and Taxi2Gate have chosen to develop the smaller of the two, George F. L. Charles (TLPC/SLU) for MS FSX, with custom buildings, textures, ground polys, volumetric grass, mesh and much more. To see more screenshots, details and to order your copy, click here.

Using a superb mesh and custom Autogen, the dangerous approach in Pakistan of Gilgit Airport (OPGT)will be reproduced with great details in FSX according to this development preview found in fsdevelopers forum.

The three new images – one of which is shown here, but you’ll have to visit the thread for the others – show the exterior of a single aircraft in a German training [...]]]> Aerosoft‘s glider guru, Joachim Schweigler, has posted three new pictures of his Work in Progress ASK 21 tandem glider to their forum.

The three new images – one of which is shown here, but you’ll have to visit the thread for the others – show the exterior of a single aircraft in a German training school livery. Given the appeal of unpowered flight, but the limited availability of training for simulated pilots, we have to wonder if there’s a possibility of someone developing a virtual instructor to sit in the other seat?! Even without that, it’s looking good so far.

Autopilots. Whether you’re a real world pilot or a simulated one, their fitting and use can be the topic of much discussion! Whether they’re a “lazy pilot’s crutch” or an “essential aid to alleviating fatigue and awareness”, the simple fact is that most simulated aircraft have them, but do all simulated pilots know what they can and cannot do with them?

The latest video tutorial from Bill Stack/Topskills – Simming on Autopilot – aims to teach the viewer how to use the autopilot including GPS integration features and the keyboard shortcuts that many are not aware exist. More information can be found by clicking here.

Not only the future customers of Professional Flight Planner X (PFPX) are getting excited by the promising software still under development by Fligfhtsimsoft.

The Beta team members are also very motivated and involved in the communication with the interested simmers, through their participation in the forum and editing preview videos. The newest one shows the edition of a new flight plan between Munich and Hambourg up to the NOTAMs and export features. About the release time frame, the developers added on Facebook that “a cautious guess is mid of july“.

With an 1800m runway, the airport can handle most short-haul and regional airliners and is well equipped with navaids, allowing it to operate under most weather conditions. Vidan Design [...]]]> The airport of Sonderborg (EKSB/SGD) is located in Southern Jutland, a few miles from its nominal city, near the Danish/German border on the island of Als.

With an 1800m runway, the airport can handle most short-haul and regional airliners and is well equipped with navaids, allowing it to operate under most weather conditions. Vidan Design have based their FSX scenery of the airport on site photographs taken by the team, which have then been used to create high-resolution textured custom buildings and structures, placed atop a 40cm/pixel aerial photograph base texture with seasonal variations. other features include custom GA traffic, volumetric grass and many animations – although as a result, it is not compatible with DX10 preview mode. More details can be found on the product page at simMarket.
