    KEWR Newark MSFS is a highly detailed scenery of Newark Liberty International Airport in NJ, USA. This product is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Newark Liberty International Airport (IATA: EWR, ICAO: KEWR, FAA LID: EWR), originally Newark Metropolitan Airport and later Newark International Airport, is an international airport straddling the boundary between the cities of Newark in Essex County and Elizabeth in Union County, New Jersey. Located about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south of downtown Newark, it is a major gateway to points in Europe, South America, Asia, and Oceania. It is jointly owned by the cities and leased to its operator, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It is the second-busiest airport in the New York airport system, behind John F. Kennedy International Airport. On August 3, 1927, Newark's mayor, Thomas Raymond ordered plans for a new airport as people and organizations began calling for a new airport in the area of Newark. Construction began on April 1, 1928. The airport opened on October 1, 1928, as the Newark Metropolitan Airport. It was the first major airport to serve the New York metropolitan area and the first airport in the United States with a paved airstrip. The nation's first air traffic control tower and airport weather station opened at Newark in 1930 (following a flight that crashed outside of Kansas City, killing five people, including a U.S. senator), and it became the first airport to allow nighttime operations after installing runway lights in 1952. The Art Deco-style Newark Metropolitan Airport Administration Building, adorned with murals by Arshile Gorky, was built in 1934 and dedicated by Amelia Earhart in 1935. It served as the terminal and a control tower until the opening of the North Terminal in 1953. Construction of the Brewster Hangar began in 1937 and continued through 1938. This hangar was the most advanced of its time. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and is now a museum and Port Authority Police headquarters. After the hijacking and crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in the September 11 attacks in 2001 while en route from Newark to San Francisco, the airport's name was changed from Newark International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport in 2002. This name was chosen over the initial proposal, Liberty International Airport at Newark, and pays tribute to the victims of the September 11 attacks and to the Statue of Liberty. In 2016, the Port Authority approved and announced a redevelopment plan to replace Terminal A, set to fully open in 2022. The busiest domestic routes from Newark include Orlando, Los Angeles, and San Francisco while most popular international destinations are London, Tel Aviv, and Toronto. The main operators are United, JetBlue, Spirit Airlines, and American Airlines. Scenery Features A high-quality model of KEWR Newark Liberty Airport, featuring the up-to-date version with extensive details throughout the whole airport FPS-friendly design, with epic night textures, dynamic lighting and PBR materials, high definition mesh Custom-animated people, vehicles, and trains Performance-friendly interior modeling at all terminal buildings, hangars and control towers, high-quality static aircraft, custom animations, custom animated jetways, custom sounds Fully compatible with GSX Pro using Cartayna Files Purchase Drzewiecki Design -- KEWR Newark for MSFS

    FlyInside, the company that brought VR into the world of Flight Simulation with their FlyInside VR plugin for FSX in 2015 and realistic helicopters into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with their ground breaking Bell 47 add-on is proud to announce another extended-realism Helicopter for MSFS 2020: the Iconic Bell 206 Jet Ranger. Long a staple in many versions of the Microsoft Flight Simulator universe, it was conspicuously left out of current releases. We've fixed that. It's back! With 4K textures, realistic materials, over 100 real life recorded sounds, full lighting support (Night Flights!) and highly detailed model. And a spot on Flight Modeling system designed to replicate the*classic B206 flight dynamics for extended realism. It's the latest from the folks at FlyInside. After the Piston Engine powered Bell 47G2 this logical follow on has smooth Turbine Power from its Allison 250-C20B engine. All engine parameters are modeled. Even the finicky Allison startup procedure. Make a mistake and you can "Hot Start" it costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in inspection and repair costs. Thankfully, we've thoughtfully added a "RESET" button to save you some cash! All sounds were recorded in a real 206. Doors, latches, pumps, you name it... it's there. Just do a start up and you'll be hooked. Nothing quite sounds like a 206 starting up! Inside, all switches, all buttons, and circuit breakers work and do what they are supposed to! A GPS, 2 Comm and 2 NAV radios with separate indicators allow for realistic Navigation. We've even given you a clock with stopwatch for timing engine cool-downs. Full Night lighting package. Nav Lights, Strobes, Beacons, interior lights, gauge backlights all working as they should. Even the dimmers.* Flip on the Landing and/or Taxi lights and enjoy some night flights! All flight control systems are animated. Main Rotor, Tail Rotor, and Swash plate just to name a few. All access doors fully animated with real 3d scans of the components fully viewable inside. Flying characteristics are faithfully modeled, including the nasty retreating blade stall, VRS (Settling with Power) ETL (Effective Translational Lift), Translating Tendency,*and even the 2 per revolution shake when appropriate. Blade slap too! Do full touchdown autorotations, hovering autos, run on landings... If you can do it in the real 206, you can do it here. All faithfully recreated. Practice makes better. If you are new to helicopters our Helimanager gives you the ability to dial in extra stability until you gain experience. It's very rewarding to be able to push the sliders all the way down to 0 and have full on realism and maintain stable flight on your own. We also recognize everyone has a different system and external control hardware. Your joystick may not be our joystick, so we've added a slider to allow you to fine tune the sensitivity to match what you use. Come get a copy and go on a cross country. See the sights... We know you'll have a grin inducing flight. More pictures are available here Videos available here

    Here we have another 20 farm strips. Most are updates to existing fields but a few new ones are included. Most of the airfields are artistic licence and are not meant to represent the real buildings. I have provided a parking spot at all of the fields. As MSFS has progressed I am even more convinced that this simulation when the few problems with the heavy metal have been ironed out will eventually go on to be No. 1 for many years to come. Note Important You need to download the Model Library separately. As the airfields increase in custom built models (as it was the FSX) so does the program size. I am unable at this time to place the models any other way than in your community folder because a lot of the models are used multiple times, if you have purchased earlier volumes of my work then you will already have most of my models. The bonus is if you design scenery yourself you have my permission to use them, Please let me know is all I ask. Included Airfields Adbury Park GB054 Chalksole Green AG988 Challock Airfield (Kent-Gliding) EGKE Channel Gliding Club EGDH Chelworth House GB998 Cherry Willingham AG987 Clonoe Flying Club EINA Clotton Airstrip GB000 Cold Harbour Farm GB092 Colthrop Manor Farm GB053 Conaglen Airstrip SC001 Cornbury House GB055 Corston Airstrip SC002 Cottage Airstrip GB008 Cowbit Airstrip AG007 Danehill Airstrip GB007 Otherton EGQH Spalding EGAF Woodlow-Farm EGJM Woods-Farm GB052 Along with the scenery you also get an 18 page guide book in PDF format.

    /images/notams/notams22/northsea.jpgIn 2030 65% of the North Sea will be an industrial zone. Over 70% of the electricity for countries surrounding the North Sea will be generated by the massive offshore wind parks. The North Sea is the biggest work site on the planet, where ships costing billions of dollars place and remove wind turbines and platforms. Thousands of people work there in often atrocious conditions. What used to be an ‘empty’ sea is now filled with platforms, wind farms and other structures. Aviation plays a huge role in this developing industry. Over 90% of European helicopter traffic is dedicated to the offshore industry. That is why we believe a scenery covering the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish sea makes sense. With the simulator fully supporting helicopters, a new territory to explore is available! This project covers the North Sea, the Channel and the Irish Sea and attempts to include every man- made object. All the objects are placed in exactly the correct position using databases collected over many months. The ships are all located where they were on Jan 20, 2022, at 12:00 GMT. This means that every ship is in a ‘logical’ position. So, a cargo ship could be at an anchorage waiting for a port dock to become available, a small fishing vessel going to its fishing ground or a construction ship placing pylons for new wind turbines. We strongly recommend reading the manual before buying this product, so you are aware of our design decisions and possible limitations.

    /images/notams/notams22/trimotor.jpgTaog’s Hangar is happy to announce the soon release of the Ford Trimotor for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. After creating the Huey addon for MSFS Taog’s Hangar’s team decided to change path a little bit and go for another historical American aircraft, the Ford A5 Trimotor, also nicknamed the “Tin Gooseâ€. First flown on June 11, 1926, the all-metal Ford Tri-Motor represented a giant leap forward for commercial aviation. It provided the first truly reliable and comfortable coast-to-coast passenger service in the US – Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) was subsequently established purely for that purpose, taking advantage of the new machine’s ground-breaking capabilities. The Tri-Motor was powered by three 220-hp (165-kW) Wright J-5 Whirlwind radial piston engines, accommodation for two pilots and 12 passengers. /images/notams/notams22/trimotor001.jpg /images/notams/notams22/trimotor002.jpg /images/notams/notams22/trimotor003.jpg The exterior model with the iconic corrugated steel (fully modelized) fuselage /images/notams/notams22/trimotor004.jpg The cockpit A total of 199 aircraft were built in a surprisingly large number of variants by Ford’s Stout Metal Airplane Division. Although successful, the design was soon surpassed by Douglas with its DC-2 (forerunner to the legendary DC-3) and production ceased on June 7, 1933. Trimotors nevertheless served with a multitude of airlines, as well as the USAAC, US Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force. /images/notams/notams22/trimotor005.jpg /images/notams/notams22/trimotor006.jpg The US Navy (Float version) and USAAC (Standard) liveries /images/notams/notams22/trimotor007.jpg The panel TH is pleased to say that the Tin-goose is almost completed, the stages of modelling and animation rigging are almost done as well as most of the texturing, This add-on will feature full PBR textures for the whole aircraft , interior and exterior, for maximum realism and an immersive experience. Sound design is still ongoing as well as more details to be added to the cockpit and cabin. /images/notams/notams22/trimotor008.jpg The back of the cockpit with the fully modelized cabin This addon will provide the flight simmers with the following features: Fully modelized interior and exteriorPhysically Based Rendering texturesFull interior cockpit animationFull Exterior AnimationsLand version modelsFloat version models7 liveries (so far)Opening luggage compartment- underside of wingsOpening Passenger doorOriginal sound designPaint kit/images/notams/notams22/trimotor009.jpg Detailed exterior model with fully modeled Wright J-5 Whirlwind radial piston engines.

    More information about "Review: Pro Flight Trainer Puma X5 by FlightSim"
    Review: Pro Flight Trainer Puma X5 By FlightSim We at FlightSim are pleased to provide our thoughts on the Puma X5 by Pro Flight Trainer. We hope you find our feedback useful. Getting Started: Shipping: Once we were notified our order was shipped, we were very surprised on how quickly we received the product and even more impressive on how they got so much in such a small package. Unboxing PUMA PAS some Assembly Required: We received the Pro Flight Trainer PAS; PAS requires some detailed assembly. As we unpacked the product, we did make notice of how well machined the parts were. They were made with highest quality, all metal and precise manufacturing. We were a little set back not to find any instructions for the product in the package. We had to go online for the assembly directions, and which PDF to follow seemed a bit confusing at first. We took our time assembling this product as we did not want to make any mistakes, it was about a two-and-a-half-hour project. Thank goodness they supplied use with little candies to make it through. The parts fit together perfectly, there was no forcing or trying push or pull things to align the screw holes. Once completed our Pro flight trainer was ready to go. Setting up the Simulator environment: Now that our Pro Flight Trainer was ready, we needed to connect it to our computer and simulator to start our flight experience. As you would imagine with a product like this, you will need some space in your room to get everything set up. We were unable to use or normal computer desk and monitor because the Pro Flight Trainer would not fit under the desk (You would need a minimum of 26in / 66cm clearance.), this positioned us to far away from our monitor, so we switched to our big screen, and I will have to say that was cool! If you have a large monitor or 50" or 60" Television with good refresh I think you would enjoy the experience as we did. If the product came with a monitor mounting kit (3 monitors) or an add-on that would have been amazing and I would recommend it. So now we had our Trainer in position with our computer and monitor ready to go, it was time to sit down and put the Pro Flight Trainer through its paces. That's when we hit our first major set beck. Every one of our chairs have armrest. This is not something you would normally think about, but the arms directly interfered with the collective controls. Now I truly understand that in the real world you're not going to have an armrest in your helicopter so I'm not going to add any negative points about that to my review, I merely point this out so you don't overlook your seating arrangements. /images/reviews/pumax002.jpg We had to resort to a folding chair, although not the most comfortable we were READY! We fired up our computer and started the simulator. Once the simulator started, we went right to the controller calibration section. This was a mistake! Nothing worked and the controls were not being detected, this was becuase we didn’t follow the instructions (too excited). If you follow the instructions, you won’t have the issues we did. Pro Flight gives you detailed calibration instructions on their website and I recommend that you follow them. Simulator setup (we tried two titles during our testing): Take On Helicopters (sim one): We have been using this simulator for many years and we felt this would be a good place to test the Pro Flight Trainer. Once our computer was calibrated, we returned to the software and found it was detecting our hardware just fine and things were getting ready to happen! Everything worked as it should, we all know that setting all the controls can be a tedious process with the many buttons and functions that need to be mapped, we were never able to get our POV hat switch to function or be recognize in this simulator. I did not find a profile online for this simulator, that would have saved us a lot of time. They do offer X-Plane profiles. They are working with Asobo to have a preset built into the Nov11 helicopter patch for MSFS2020 Flight: We started in-flight (airborne) and immediately we had full control of our helicopter and everything functioned perfectly. It was a very smooth first flight. I landed softly after 20 minutes of flight. The Pro Flight Trainer gave me a very realistic experience. For the first time in all my years of flying helicopters it felt like it was the real thing. The collective was responsive and gave you a nice touch to the controls, combined with the rudder pedals with toe break it takes you to the next level. MSFS (sim two): Although MSFS doesn’t have many helicopters (Just starting) they do have aircraft with control sticks. I wanted to see how Pro Flight Trainer would work with these type aircraft. Once again, we had to set up the controllers mapping as before but this time we were able to get all controls working with POV. /images/reviews/pumax003.jpg We set our airport to KORD Chicago and took flight. The stick and pedals worked perfectly with our Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack and brought a new level of flight experience to aircraft as well. Normally for aircraft we use our Airbus Thrustmaster joystick, however with stock aircraft the Pro Flight Trainer gave us a little more realistic feeling. We did notice an issue however while flying aircraft., Helicopters use smaller inputs on the controls then you would in a S2S Bi-Plane or a Cap 10, but it was then we notice that the stick doesn’t give you enough room to go pull back left or back right without hitting your legs. When we moved our seat back enough to give us full surface control, we couldn’t reach the pedals. With the proper seat / chair you may be able to solve this problem as well. After hours of testing, we find that the Pro Flight Trainer would be a great addition to any Flightsim enthusiast. Our experience was enjoyable and this is the next step in virtual Reality, welcome fit to our controller options. Pros: High Quality workmanship. Smooth pedals and Control stick. Very adjustable friction on stick. Adjustable base for collective offset to seat. Adjustable Stick height. Accurate Controller layout and feel. Easy to store Used only 1 USB port Cons: Only a few predefined Profiles (There is one for X-plane now and more OTW) No brackets or hardware for Monitor mounts. Limited seat options – You will need to be selective No packaged instructions

    November marks the 40th year of Microsoft Flight Simulator. In the late 1990s, Microsoft was releasing a new version of Microsoft Flight Simulator every 24-30 months. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 was released in late 1999, with high expectations, as it moved beyond the limited 3,000 airport database with FS98 to nearly 20,000 airports. Worldwide navigational points were also added, which allowed for real world flights, detailed airports, and AI traffic. In the end, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 was a big disappointment for most users due to the minimum specs requiring a Pentium 166 MHz computer, although 400–500 MHz computers were deemed necessary to have any good frame rates. However, even on a high-end system, stuttering was a real problem, especially when performing sharp turns in graphically dense areas. New aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 included the supersonic Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde and the Boeing 777 which had recently entered service at the time. One other change that is overlooked today is that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 was the first Microsoft Flight Simulator not to use Meigs Field as its default airport. Boeing Field was set as the default airport, mostly due to the release of the Boeing 777 and the expanded airport database. It was felt users would move to the larger aircraft more often, so a larger airport was chosen. Your mission is to depart from Boeing Field (KBFI) and fly to Calgary (CYYC) with the Canadian Xpress Boeing 777-200, Boeing 777-300 (or Boeing 737-700 if you do not have access to the B772 or B77W) freeware or payware aircraft which are available to all pilots regardless of rank, but only for the challenge. Join Canadian Xpress today in order to participate as there are some great prizes to be won including: Any Aerosoft Download Product from: https://www.aerosoft.com/ The November 2022 Monthly Challenge is open to all Canadian Xpress pilots from November 1st until November 29th, 2022 so join Canadian Xpress today by visiting https://canadianxpress.ca .
