Review: P-51D-5-NA Little Friends II From Warbirdsim Their very name "Warbirdsim" gives away their area of expertise but even more so, this company has come to specialize in the P-51 Mustang, one of the great planes of WWII. Warbirdsim has released a number of packages covering many variants of the Mustang--far more variants than the average person probably realizes exist. Reviewer Joseph Thompson takes a look at their latest Little Friends II package and finds that specializing does result in a truly fine product. Learn more by reading his complete review here.

Feature: Get Real #3 Ron Blehm introduces the third installment of his "Get Real" series, recreating memorable real world flights with Flight Simulator. This time guest author Michael McCracken recreates a challenging training flight he encountered as a student. Read the whole story here.

Review: Viscount Legends Of Flight The Vickers Viscount was a major success in Britain's aviation industry, being the right aircraft at the right time. Just Flight's version gives FSX pilots a chance to fly this classic plane, and reviewer Nigel Martin finds it great fun. Learn more by reading his complete review here.

Review: Holiday Airports by Aerosoft FS2004 and FSX pilots can take a Mediterranean holiday at one of the four airports included in the Holiday Airports package from Aerosoft. Though the quality of the airports differs, overall reviewer Bastian Blinten was pleased with what he got. For more information, read his complete review.

Just Flight 757 Jetliner Base Pack Review Just Flight's 757 Jetliner Freemium is a popular jetliner that is part of the F-Lite line of somewhat simpler to fly planes, but with a twist in that the base pack is free. The plane comes with a good line-up of features and flies well too. Learn more by reading Adam Johnson's complete review here.

Review: Mega Airport Madrid Barajas X Thanks to Simwings and Aerosoft, FSX and FS2004 pilots can fly into an accurate version of one of Europe's busiest airports with Mega Airport Madrid Barajas. Reviewer Alexander Czarnecki tested it out and generally liked what he saw. Learn more by reading his complete review here.

Review: AeroflyFS Here is a complete, stand-alone flight simulator you likely have never heard of before: AeroflyFS from Ikarus. Though limited to VFR flight of light planes and currently with scenery only of Switzerland, what it does it does very well and is well worth a look. Learn more by reading Louis Bensdorp's complete review here.

Where In The World #48? Our long running "Where In The World" series of geography challenges for flight simmers continues. The entry for the holiday season was to a very appropriate place in northern Europe. For January we journey to an interesting airport that is not well covered in either FS2004 or FSX. Are you up to the challenge? Read all about it here.

Head-2-Head Feature VI: General Aviation Challenge Ron Blehm returns with another head-to-head aircraft comparison. This time he tries three popular general aviation planes and checks to see which is most efficient in carrying out a typical task. Who wins? Read about it here.

Review: CH-47D Chinook X From Virtavia The twin rotor CH-47D Chinook is a giant among helicopters and easily recognized by its unique shape. Virtavia has taken on the challenge of creating it for FSX and admitted helicopter fan Nigel Martin proclaims it a success which he has had great fun flying. Learn more by reading his complete review here.

Review: Fokker 60 By PAOB The Fokker 60 is a lengthened cargo version of the Fokker 50 turboprop passenger plane whose success was cut short by Fokker's bankruptcy. Now FSX pilots can try this plane, with a nicely detailed version provided by PAOB. Reviewer Bill Stack enjoyed the flying and shares his findings with you here.

Review: Balearic Islands X From Aerosoft Baleraric Islands X covers the popular vacation islands and all their airports in great detail. The reviewer actually visited the islands to compare the real world with the scenery (and perhaps enjoy some vacation time!) and found the Aerosoft version reasonably accurate and generally a pleasure to explore. Learn more by reading Bastian Blinten's complete review here.

Review: The Very Singapore X Developed by Samsoft, The Very Singapore X updates Changi Airport, one of the world's biggest and busiest and in a part of the world for which there are few flightsim add-ons. The FSX add-on covers both the airport and the city and gives the visitor new details to explore. Learn more by reading Ricky Petersen's complete review here.

Review: Sea King FSX From Virtavia Reviewer Nigel Martin, an avowed "rotorhead" and someone who has spent time in real Sea Kings, was pleased to see Virtavia's offering of the Sea King for FSX. The flightsim version satisfied even this fan, with a detailed model and excellent sounds. Learn more by reading the complete review here.

Review: Concorde X If you want to fly the fastest commercial jet, then the Concorde is for you. Concorde X, created by Flight Sim Labs and published by Aerosoft, brings FSX pilots an accurate version of the famous jet. Reviewer Peter Carlson liked it enough to describe it as the finest simulation of a virtage commercial jetliner that he has used. Learn more by reading his complete review here.

Review: Handley-Page Hampden From Virtavia Even the lesser known aircraft often get recreated by the various flightsim developers, and such is the case with the Handley-Page Hampden, a WWII era light bomber offered by Virtavia. Though some of systems modeling is flawed the visual model is well done and the plane offers FS2004 and FSX pilots a chance to experience WWII era flying.
