The future of the flightsim pastime we love so much is in our own hands, so says author Paul Mort. He suggests that you don't take a back seat and leave it to other people to make their contribution. Encourage scenery and object makers by giving them constructive feedback. And finally, please participate by having a profile so we get to know you.

William Friedman has been a real world pilot for over 25 years as well as a long-time flight simmer. In those years many things have changed, one area being the maps, charts and other data we use to plan and navigate a flight.
