With Hollywood Burbank Airport (KBUR) brings one of primary Los Angeles area airports to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Our reviewer MrYorkiesWorld pays a visit and finds that it is really a great looking airport with some amazing surrounding scenery, and calls it a must-have for MSFS 2020.
Mexico City is one of the top ten most populated cities in the world and deserves a good look in MSFS 2020. Thanks to developer FlyMex Simulations and their scenery package Mexico City VFR Landmarks flying over this area now gives Microsoft Flight Simulator users lots of interesting and realistic buildings to see, even including things like the pyramids at Teotihucan. Reviewer Diego Vega explores the city with words and a video and shows you what he found.
The Where In The World series challenge from Ron Blehm continues into the new year. Last month's challenge was the largest airport in the Green Mountain State and quite a few people were able to get it right. This month's challenge may require some knowledge of history as well as geography. Are you up to the challenge?
In this video, video team member thecorporatepilotdad takes a look at the Working Title CJ4 Mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This mod takes the default MSFS 2020 CJ4 bizjet and makes it much more realistic. The video is part review and part tutorial, showing how to do a VNAV and ILS approach. The author flies a plane using the same avionics in real life and was impressed with the realism found here.
Aerosoft turns to a scenic series of German coastal islands with its X-Plane 11 scenery title German Islands 1 East Frisia. The islands have small GA airports and gliding schools, giving lots of places to last while exploring the coastal region. Reviewer Wycliffe Barrett provides us both a video and text review while he enjoys flying the area.
Thrustmaster makes quite a range of nice control devices. In this review, Raymond Andersen examines their TCA Officers Pack Airbus Edition to see how well they replicate a set of modern jetliner controls. He found it to be a superb and high quality package that was easy to set up and use and recommends it to other demanding flightsim enthusiasts.
REX brings their advanced weather technology to MSFS 2020 with REX Weather Force 2020. This is a new METAR-based dynamic real-time weather engine that will let you experience automated, dynamic and smooth weather transitions. It also offers weather scenarios and other features. Technical Update 1.3 has just been released with a long list of fixes and improvements.
New from Taburet is Atlanta XP for X-Plane 11, a complete scenery for the city of Atlanta, Georgia, day and night. It features custom objects, custom lighting, mesh terrain and autogen blended with photoreal base texturing. Objects and buildings are based on read world data.
This year Historic Airline Group begins a new series, Destination of the Month and Aircraft of the Month. Participating pilots are encouraged to try out the highlighted destination and aircraft, earning double ours by participating. January will features Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and the Boeing 707.
Lionheart Creations continues development of their SOCATA Trinidad for Microsoft Flight Simulator and have issued a new set of screen shots that show both the interior and exterior.
Just Flight continues to showcase their upcoming PA-28R Arrow III for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Today they offer up a new video showing what the Arrow looks like in action flying in MSFS 2020.
Virtualcol continues to improve their recently released Beechcraft 99 Series aircraft package for MSFS 2020. Based on user feedback, version 1.8.2 has been released today. This includes a number of fixes and improvements to things like sound, flaps, avionics, etc. There are still some remaining issues due to the current state of the sim itself and its SDK.
Created by Stairport Sceneries and published by Aerosoft, now available for Microsoft Flight Simulator is Airport Greater Moncton. This scenery depicts an extremely detailed recreation of Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport. It features 4K PBR textures, custom lighting and signs, custom static aircraft, special winter animations and more.
The FS Navigation Map Android app for MSFS 2020 has been updated. With the app the user can see a map of where they are flying, with airports, navaids, waypoints and other relevant information like radio frequencies, ILS headings and more. In the update, the flight plan can now be sent to the app, like with the FSX version.
IRIS Simulations has revealed that their next project for Microsoft Flight Simulator will be the F/A-18C Hornet. It's still early in development and the screen shots only show the interior. It's reported to be one of four fast movers planned for development over the next 24 months.
Today Just Flight has a quick A300 for Prepar3D update to share. They have recently fitted some (relatively) new technology to their classic A300B4. Both pilots are now equipped with a weather radar (compatible with Active Sky), TCAS and FMS for modern-day operations across the globe. A traditional VSI and INS navigation are still available for the classic airliner purists.
Two announcements from Historic Airlines Group. The first is that they now have 747 freighters carrying cargo as part of their fleet, from a variety of carriers. Second is that they have added USPS cargo operations, using Ryan International's fleet of 727-100F's. If you are looking to do some classic cargo flying, HAG knows cargo.
