Review of UK2000 – East Midlands Xtreme v1 for FSX

East Midlands Airport, EGNX, is situated between the cities of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham in central England. The site was originally a Royal Air Force station used during the Second World War but was decommissioned in 1946. It was eventually purchased by local government authorities in 1964 and was reopened for passenger traffic in 1965. The airport serves as a hub for low cost air carriers Bmibaby and Ryanair. In terms of traffic it is the 12th busiest airport for passenger travel seeing approximately 4 million passengers in 2010 and the 2nd busiest for cargo traffic processing just under 274,000 tonnes. The airport has a single runway 09/27 @ 9,491ft.

RAZBAM Buckeye comes to simMarket

FSX pilots who love the challenge of landing their aircraft on a moving target have another option to add to their collection now, as the RAZBAM T-2 Buckeye comes to join the fleet at simMarket.

Featuring 5 different variants, with systems modelling and both cockpits available for use, this North American (later Rockwell) produced jet was the backbone of the US Naval training establishment for much of the Cold War. Later versions were also sold to Venezuela and Greece with fixed armament packages and, as with previous RAZBAM releases, swappable and droppable ordinance is included in this package.

Fly!Legacy version 0.6.8 released

Those who have been in the FS world for some time will remember the Terminal Reality Fly! series of sims, which unfortunately came to a halt with the loss of the driving force behind the sims.

Fly!Legacy is an entirely freeware development of Fly!II, mainly continued by ROTW, a team that were known at the time for their, particularly French, add-ons for the sim.

The latest release for the sim, version 0.6.8, brings a number of bug fixes and performance improvements to the platform and may well be of interest to those either with older PCs that struggle to run the current generation of products, or those who remember the Fly! series. It’s free, so take a look and possibly get inolved!

D-Sim flight planning e-books

Two new e-books from D-Sim have been published today, covering flight planning and management for two very different aircraft indeed.

The first e-book, “The 767 Long Haul and ETOPS Guide” is a 70-page guide to flying Boeing’s extensively used widebody twin, including coverage of ETOPS and RVSM procedures, with a tutorial on how to plan an Atlantic crossing on the JFK – LHR route.

The second covers an entirely different class of aircraft – Cessna’s fast and high flying Citation X business jet. Intended for use with Eaglesoft’s Citation X model, according to the publisher, “The author, Josh Walden, has taken the type rating class in St. Louis as provided by Cessna themselves in a bid to make this one of the most authoritative books ever written about the Citation X aircraft for Flight Simulator.” To find out more about “The Citation X FMS & Flight Planning Guide“, click on the link.
