The Avro Vulcan is a highly regarded cold war era British heavy bomber, with a unique look and sound. Reviewer Alex Dickinson has long been a fan and has tried every flightsim version available, so was pleased to see Just Flight release this updated version for Prepar3D.

Author Ron Blehm knows a young woman pilot in Washington State who shares her flight training and flying adventures online and through videos. His idea was that it would be fun for flight simmers to join in on her adventures, flying the same routes and sharing their experiences.

Our lady pilot has just got her instrument rating, so additional adventures will be in store in future flights.

There are plenty of older FSX/P3D titles that are still worth your attention. In this review, Felicity Smith takes a look at Conington Airfield from Just Flight.

Orcas Island was one of the earliest Orbx sceneries, and the area itself is one of the favorites of reviewer Shawn Weigelt.

The first flight simulator scenery release from new developer Canada4XPlane is a winner, says reviewer Jennifer Kimball.
