/images/notams/notams22/simw0808.jpgTime for another progress update from us. First of all, we releasedan update to theRV-14,but noticed post-release that there were some bugs that slippedthrough testing and broke basic functions of the aircraft. We havepushed a new version (1.3.2) to all vendors, Microsoft and ourwebsite, where you can also find the changelog. We wanted to push thehotfix out before leaving on our Summer break (Monday 8th, back on the17th), to make sure that you enjoy the plane fully. Please take notethat during this time we will be out of contact, including support, soplease bear with us. Next, our full attention is focused on the Dash 7 in cooperationwith PILOT'S GesmbH. The exterior model is undergoing decal placement,so we are placing rivets, panel lines and de-ice boots. After that,the aircraft will be ready to receive its last coating of dirt andgrime over the detail, which will complete the exterior textures. Theliveries are awaiting their "use marks" but other than that they aredone, and some screenshots can be seen. The liveries includedwill be British Antarctic Survey, Air Greenland, Brymon, Berjaya Air,Tyrolean and Continental. The cockpit is undergoing decalplacement. Right now, all the flight instruments are marked enough forus to do flight testing. We are working on placing the rest of thelabels and correcting some model flaws before falling head-first intothe textures. The flight model of the aircraft is complete, and focus on thatfront is on engine tuning. Right now, the engine produces the rightamount of torque and RPM, so we have work to do with the propellers toget her up to speed. Lastly, on the coding front, the cockpit is graduallyactivated. Our engine, hydraulic, oil gauges work, COM/NAV/ADF radiosare active, and the basic flight instruments are also functional. ThePN622 DME has been programmed, tested and will be integrated into thecockpit any day now. Every day, more and more panels are coming tolife. Regarding the Amphibian Kodiak, only a small number of issuesremain to be fixed. We are going to get those sorted in the last weekof August, along with SU10 testing. The plane has been sent to Daher,to be checked by their hydroplane pilots. An interesting feature thatwe added to the Kodiaks for the next update is real beta range. Doingsome in-depth research and making use of new features in SU10, theKodiak will be beta range capable without using any “black magicâ€solutions such as invisible spoilers. Additionally, the propeller hasbeen tuned so that full reverse power will no longer over-rev thepropeller. Instead, it will peak at 95% RPM Np, just like the realPT6A works! This was supposed to go from the PC-12 into the Kodiak,but it seems to have come the other way around! Lastly, we have done some bug fixing in our failure system andadded some extra safeguards to prevent failure issues like thosereported by some customers. We will run it through tests and hope tohave seen the last of it. Source See all SimWorks products at the FlightSim.Com Store

/images/notams/notams21/pilo0125/pilo0125.jpgCalling all Vintage Aircraft Aviators! Today marks a major milestone for PILOT'S and the B314 Development Team! PILOT'S, the well-known Austrian flightsim add-on developer andpublisher, is pleased to announce that the long awaited aircraftadd-on for P3Dv4.x and P3Dv5.x - "Boeing B314 - The Clipper" - has nowbeen released and is immediately available at the PILOT'S OnlineStore. Known as the absolute quintessential flying boat, the majesticBoeing B314 Clipper is an unmistakable icon of the flying boatera. Foynes, Ireland, well-known for its claim to fame for being thebirthplace of Irish coffee during this time, served as an aviation hubbetween North America and Europe, and with the highly anticipated B314from PILOT'S, virtual pilots too can now recreate the many Atlanticcrossings that made the fleet of Pan Am Clippers famous. /images/notams/notams21/pilo0125/b314-1.jpgAlthough none of the original 12 Clipper aircraft were preserved,the inspiration to create this PILOT'S study level representation ofthe B314 is to allow this majestic flying machine to yet again take tothe skies, even if just to the virtual skies! I would like to thank all of you that have been eagerly awaitingthe B314 for so very long for your unfaltering patience. To all of ourloyal customers that took advantage of our internal release offer,thank you kindly for your invaluable feedback in these past weeks. Thecomplexity of simulating the various B314 stations, and at the sametime making them manageable by one virtual pilot, was no easy task. Ithink we have managed to find a great balance between simulation andworkload, especially when it comes to accomplishing a complex exerciselike starting the engines, which in the real B314 required at leastthree aviators working in close synchronicity. /images/notams/notams21/pilo0125/b314-2.jpgPlease continue to keep your feedback flowing! We are alsocurrently evaluating whether there is sufficient demand for having aB314 paint-kit made available, please let us know if this is of anyinterest to you. Keep flying and stay healthy in these very difficult times. Wishing you a great B314 experience, Stefan Schaefer Source This is the new official Trailer for PILOT'S Boeing B314 - TheClipper product for Prepar3D v5 and Prepar3D v4.5.

/images/notams/notams19/pilo1108.jpgRanked by Forbes and the History Channel as having one of the mostdangerous airport approaches in the world, PILOT'S is pleased toannounce that their Tioman Island scenery is now available! Inspiredby the PILOT'S founder's first personal visit to the island, TiomanIsland features a white knuckle approach into Tioman Airport (WMBT),complete with a Hong Kong Kai Tak style "Checkerboard" approach. Theisland's only approach offers a unique and inherently dangerous pathto the airport due to the surrounding high terrain and a "nogo-around" setup. Crisp tropical colours, high-resolution mesh, andhundreds of hand-placed trees coupled with lush vegetation andexquisitely crafted island beach resorts offer a uniquely immersiveenvironment. And you may even spot the odd Tioman Island lizard takinga stroll near the airport or on one of the island's tropicalbeaches! Tioman Island is located in the South China Sea, just off theMalaysian Coast and is a short 150 km hop in a northerly directionfrom Singapore's famous Changi Airport. Source Product Page
