The Where In The World series challenge from Ron Blehm continues as readers have stepped up with a bunch of new destination suggestions. Last month brought a large number of successful guessers who proved their aviation geography knowledge and met the challenge. This month is a hometown of a former US President. Can you answer where in the world it is?

xEnviro strives to be the ultimate all-in-one environment simulation engine for X-Plane 11. It inserts real-world weather and adds improved clouds and other visual and sound effects. While still a work in progress, reviewer Rohan Nair feels that it is a product that has great potential to become the best weather and environment engine for X-Plane 11.

Though not one of their newer products, FTX Global for FSX and Prepar3D from Orbx is one of those things considered a "must have" by many flight simmers. What it does is change the default scenery throughout the world, making textures, night lighting and so on more realistic--and without making an impact on performance. Reviewer Michael Hayward was quite impressed with the results of using this package.

Peter Watkins over the past decade has created quite an extensive set of aircraft repaints, mostly for FSX/P3D. He mainly focuses on British aircraft but isn't afraid to branch out if something appeals to him, and especially enjoys creating planes that have a historical significance. Learn more about Peter and his influences in our interview.

MeshXP British Isles for X-Plane 11 by Taburet is compiled using 30 m resolution elevation models. It uses highly detailed hydrological data to rebuild completely the hydrological scenery to very high details, in short every lake, river, pond and canal is now rendered in the scenery. This mesh also features highly detailed autogen buildings and vegetation, positioned as in the real world. Reviewers Paul and Hilary Mort were very pleased with the results.

Most freeware X-Plane scenery relies on a number of common object libraries to create the buildings and other objects that appear in the scenery. This works fine - if you have the necessary libraries installed. If not, your scenery will be missing things and that won't look good. This tutorial shows you how to fix the problem.

Orbx offers up what was the UK's first purpose built municipal airport (in 1928) with EGCB Manchester City Airport and Heliport (Barton) for X-Plane 11. This classic field includes four grass runways and a helicopter area, rendered in the high detail that Orbx is noted for. Reviewer Stuart McGregor found it to be pretty much flawless and a great addition to his scenery collection.

Reviewer Michael Hayward takes a look at another Just Flight product, the VC10 Jetliner for FSX/P3D. The "Jetliner" product range sits in the middle of their F-Lite and Professional ranges in complexity and includes highly realistic and detailed models, numerous animations, authentic sounds and more. Michael found he enjoyed flying the fastest sub-sonic jetliner ever.

The PC12 from Carenado is a speedy single-engine turboprop designed specifically for X-Plane 11. It comes with six liveries plus a blank texture for repainters, special engine dynamics, flight and ground handling optimized for XP11, physically based rendering (PBR) materials and textures throughout and more. Reviewer Rohan Nair really liked the PC-12, finding it visually satisfying and functionally realistic.

The Stinson L-5 is typical of the type of aircraft developed during WWII for duties such as liaison, artillery spotting, photo-reconnaissance and casualty evacuation. The Aeroplane Heaven Stinson L5 for FSX and Prepar3D, published by Just Flight, comes in seven liveries. Reviewer Nigel Porter found it to be nicely presented and both fun and challenging to fly.
