In this video review, FilbertFlies takes a look at Hamburg Airport EDDH created by Sim-wings and published by Aerosoft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Overall, he finds the scenery to be quite good, with Sim-wings doing an even better job than their previous scenery.
thecorporatepilotdad, a real world corporate pilot, illustrates and explains how to do an NDB approach in the CJ4 Working Title Mod in Microsoft Flight Simulator. The airport used (PASV) is on the slope of a mountain with a 4.8% gradient. Sparrevohn airport in real life requires special certification and is for military use only or military approved contractors.
If you want to add an additional layer of realism to your flightsimming, with Air Hauler 2 you can add a realistic business that you can run and fly for. Your airline can fly passenger, cargo and charter ops, own aircraft, hire pilots and so on. Overall, reviewer Alex Dickinson was very impressed with the diverse range of features included.
The Where In The World series challenge from Ron Blehm continues. Last month's challenge was in the cold extreme north of Canada and quite a few people were able to get it right. This month's challenge is an airport beautifully located in nature. Are you up to the challenge?
Drzewiecki Design brings their scenery designs to Japan with RJAA Tokyo Narita Airport for MSFS 2020. Reviewer Joshua Moore pays a visit and finds it to be one of the best airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator and a nice complement to World Update 1.
X-Plane pilots wanting a small but quick turboprop single will surely enjoy the PA46 500TP Malibu Meridian from Carenado. Reviewer Joshua Moore puts it through its paces and finds that Carenado did a fantastic job replicating the look and feel of the plane. There are a few flaws but they do not detract greatly from an otherwise beautiful plane.
New from RCStudio and Aerosoft is Airport Trento-Mattarello LIDT for MSFS. The scenery features all airport buildings, PBR 4K textures, custom ground texture, custom approach lighting, animated objects that react to time and weather, tower interior, etc.
Is this an industry first? Included with the new Big Radials release of the P-40B Tomahawk for MSFS 2020 is a free set of STL files from AuthentiKit that allow you to 3D print a set of flight controls that are an exact replica of those in the aircraft. The controls work with Microsoft Flight Simulator as well as other popular sims.
Flight Sim Development Group (FSDG) announces that they have updated their Cape Town scenery for FSX and Prepar3D. The brand new version 2.0 includes interior modeling for the main terminal and an updated ground layout. An MSFS version will be coming soon.
DigitalThemePark announces Tasmania "Tassie" Weekend Achievement Flights. Earn Your Next FlightSim.Com/DigitalThemePark Achievement Badge! Join the group flights with MSFS, FSX, P3D or X-Plane, visiting every airport in Tasmania and the nearby islands.
Navigraph announces yet another successful Navigraph Charts integration: the PMS50 GTN750 for MSFS 2020. This is a GPS/NAV/COMM/Multi Function Display (MFD) that closely resembles the real world Garmin GTN750. The PMS50 GTN750 can be used as a MFD replacement for several MSFS aircraft.
Following on from their release of X-EUROPE v5.5 last week, simHeaven have updated all of their continental packages for X-Plane to version 1.2. Europe features among other things improved solar plants/fields.
Aeroplane Heaven has been putting a lot of work into their Spitfire for MSFS 2020 and expect it to be finished shortly. They've just released some new screen shots taken directly from the sim. They are now finalizing the interior and exterior textures.
Aerosoft announces a new standalone flight simulator series, World of Aircraft. The series is intended to offer an easy introduction to PC flight simulation and the first in the series, offering gliders, will be available soon.
IndiaFoxtEcho continues working hard on the DCS MB-339, but with the new cloud system implemented in DCS 2.7 it is difficult not to stop and take some screen shots, so here they are. This new cloud system of DCS World by Eagle Dynamics is really a big step forward in terms of visual fidelity.
Just Flight has issued some new screen shots of their upcoming Palma de Mallorca scenery for MSFS 2020. The scenery will include every single parking stand, every single taxiway, and incorporated the new runway layout including accurate elevation data.
LN Design announces that they are currently working on another airport for MSFS 2020, which is Pau-Pyrénées in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It's going to feature a fully modeled interior and exterior main terminal, dozens of close-to-real buildings, and a lot of other awesome features.
