Little Navmap from Alexander Barthel is a freeware utility that makes navigating a breeze. According to reviewer Paul Mort, the flight planner is easy to use but has all the features you need. The maps have a great level of detail and are easy on the eye. In fact, he couldn't really find any negatives to the utility, making it a great addition to your flight simulator tools.

Inspired by a trip to Finland, reviewer Michael Hayward sought out some flight simulator scenery of the area and found Mega Scenery Helsinki.

He found the built quality to be quite good on both products.

Aviation simulations don't just simulate the view from the cockpit. Tower Simulator from Wilco puts you in the control tower of a busy airport.

In this tutorial, Gary Rumpler shows how to add SketchUp objects to X-Plane. There are a number of steps involved in converting the original object files, but taken one at a time it all makes sense.

The Where In The World series challenge from Ron Blehm continues as readers have stepped up with a bunch of new destinations. Last month's answer was the location of a famous air show. This month offers something a little different, in the form of a riddle. Can you answer where in the world it is?
