It's still not ready...

FSX. And the guys in the Aerosoft forum are just teasing us too... We hope no one is pulling their hair out!

It's still not ready...

FS9/FSX. 29Palms shows us another lovely shot of Mykonos. This time the focus is on the rotating beacon. At this point these are no longer previews. They are just trying to drive us crazy teasing us before release!

Toronto ? I like it like that !

FSX. Stunning aerial shot from Oryxsim Toronto Pearson. This is getting more and more realistic.

Milviz Sabre : and 3 more

FSX. Milviz has posted three new screenshots of the North American F-86 Sabre.

Hermosillo taking shape !

FSX. What a stunnning shot this time. Not just a Sketchup model, but the main terminal in FSX with apron and lights... 

Another Dusseldorf.

FS9/FSX. Rainer asks us: "FS9 and 3D-gras? Hmmm - what do you think?" All I know is, the airport is looking darn good!

Endeavor part 2 coming soon!

We are anxiously waiting for this weekend when the Shuttle Endeavor will finally grace the streets of Los Angeles! I'll yet again be out with the Nikkon to get some close up shots for you all! Did you know they are going to use a Toyota pickup truck to pull it on part of the journey? Will be fun! In the meantime, here are some AirDailyX exclusive shots from the United Airlines hangar taken by my wife's iPhone. Sweet!!

Fairbanks on approach!

FS9. FSX version released. Rainer Duda, the man I aspire to when it comes to amazing screenshots has just hinted us on the upcoming release of Fairbanks from Simwings. I have been waiting for this little gem and I can't wait to break out the Carenado's!

Aerosoft Olbia Released!

FSX. Now we can finally return to the island of Olbia. This is the first rendition of the airport in almost 10 years. Go get it!

Warsaw City : 2 more

FS9 (and FSX later). Drzewiecki Team has almost finished to cover Warsaw airfields/airports.

Kathmandu coming to FSX.

FSX. FS9 released. Thai Creations has finally set out to render their Kathmandu scenery for FSX. Already I see a major improvement with the ground texture. I have been enjoying sorties back and forth between Kathmandu and Lukla. Lots of fun. And I typically safely land at Lukla 8 out of 10 times! HAHA! But really folks, crashing in this region is no laughing matter.

Captain Sim's Triple Seven SP 0,9

FSX. Captain sim has updated it's B-777 to SP 0,9. According to the list of fixes, this is a major update with several improvements on aircraft navigational systems. The VNAV is improved too.

Remember AirPacific?

Now we don't normally post on real world news here as we are pure flight simulation. But now that AirPacific is distancing itself from Qantas and are giving back the aircraft. What do you think of the new airline and livery of Fiji? It's very different!

More fun from Slovakia!

FS9/FSX. ADX Exclusive! Cesar is on a roll with Bratislava! I am very excited with all the developers putting focus on Eastern Europe! Soon, besides Bratislava, we will have a new Budapest, Ruzyne,Tallinn, Gdansk, Rzeszow, Lublin, and Katowice. The East is alive and looking good!

Parthenosim is alive !

FSX. I am like a child, discovering that Parthenosim and Milano Linate are back. Gianni is facing many problems in the same time. Good luck.

Coolsky DC-9 : a livery paint service

FSX. Coolsky and McPhat's studios are offering a livery/cockpit paint service, for those who want specific color.

Hermosillo resumed

FSX. These guys working and progressing alone are really desserving credits. Will follow David's progression with interest as long as he can post shots.

The B200 almost done

FSX. Carenado is almost ready to release the King Air B200, a much faster aircraft than its previous C90B. Last shots.

San Diego W.O.P.

 
FSX.FS9. Jon Schutte has posted a few more shots of San Diego KSAN airport. These ones are still early shots.

Sabre on final!

FSX. "The Milviz F-86F-30 Sabre is on final!" Words direct from the development team!

AutoFus!

FS9/FSX/P3D. Ever had the urge to buy a new BMW or Mini? Sure! I get the urge every day! I get up, walk to the door, realize i'm stupid, and sit back down at the simulator. But, if I did buy one, there is nothing better than showing up to the local BMW/Mini dealer in my own personal helicopter. Well soon, we all will!

Bangkok on a roll!

FS9/FSX. More shots from Bangkok. Finally we get the bigger picture of how the quality differs from the other version. The difference is very clear! Nice!

and more drool...

FSX. She is still a work in progress and I am sure the developers are working hard to iron everything out. In the meantime, here are some more sexy photos to hold you over... Airbus Extended.

Spectre Port Au Prince released!

FS9. Spectre's MTPP is now available on Simmarket. The work is so good, I even brought you these custom shots direct from my Sim! It's a very nice work. Stay tuned for my impression! [UPDATE] There will be a FSX version!

FS Break 117 avail

This is something i use to do more and more to improve my english. D'Andre would tell you how pityful is my e..ee..en..glish when we talk (BTW, seen how this can be an easy insult on Avsim :)),  Anyway, i started with my FSbreak lessons. And since it's a podcast, i can hear it anytime, even between La Defense and Charles de Gaulle french subway. This time, FSbreak is all about the different flight sim platforms, pros and cons.

Yellowstone, another drop ?

FSX/P3D. Tim Harris has posted a few more previews of Yellostone KWYS in Montana, including two under winter.

TU204. More interior shots.

FS9. More of the interior textures of the upcoming freeware TU204 family of aircraft.

Pawnee livery tests!

FSX/P3D. The Bravo finally shows a bit of color!

Yellowstone KWYS now announced

FSX/P3D. The product page is ready. Release very soon. http://fullterrain.com/product_kwys.html


Roma Fiumicino finally !



FSX. At last. First screenshots of Roma LIRF including advanced details of the terminal and jetways. I am still not convinced that is Andreas Lanconelli's work. It was my guess.

PacSim sends us a glimpse

FSX. What's the next stop after Jeju ? Nagasaki or another destination ? Graham feared to delay Nagasaki. Here is a small tip... Maybe in New-Zealand ?

Praha Ruzyne.

FS9/FSX/XPL. I just stumbled across this developer website. We are all aware of the upcoming Prague scenery from FSDG this year and we all are quite excited. Based on what I just found, it seems here is what we don't know:

Twotter Extended.

FSX. Here are the latest of the Twotter!

More impressive shots of XNA.

FSX. And the night lighting is quite impressive too!

Mega Helsinki: Our own screenshots

 
FSX/P3D. After some adjustments (deactivation of baggage carts, cars and landside view), my Mega Helsinki works fine, including with the NGX. A remarkable work from A-Flight. Quality of textures and the size of this airport!
Update : Simmarket : AS_MEGA-AIRPORT-HELSINKI_OUT-OF-MEMORY-FIX.exe avail.
Update 2 : after installing the patch, i still get Out of Memory OOM sounds !

First shots of Doncaster !

FS9/FSX. UK 2000 shows off the first pictures of Robin Hood Doncaster EGCN. Release planned at the end of October.

More on Olbia airport

FSX. A few shots have been posted yesterday evening on Aerosoft forum. We missed it!

Mykonos on the home stretch!

FS9/FSX. Here are the direct words from 29Palms: "Aprox. one week of work left, then the release is up to Aerosoft. It's getting close!" nuff said! AirDailyX is ready for it!

Yellowstone never looked better!

FSX/P3D. Tim Harris has just got us more shots of Orbx Yellowstone and it is a very beautifully and amazing work! Hard to believe this is from the simulator! Just look at these amazing shots.

Mega airport Helsinki....

FSX/P3D. We just bought our own copy of Mega Helsinki. First tests on FSX. On the ultra light airplane and then on the PMDG NGX. Too soon to tell ? We already have Out of Memory messages (OOM) with this boring sound alert. The scenery itself is amazing. But from Aerosoft support forum, and testimonies, an update is obviously needed.

The super Pacer has a seaplane version

FSX/P3D. Lionheart Creations will also include a seaplane version of its Super Piper Pacer 180.

Spectre Port-au-Prince ready !

 
FS9. A question of hours.. or minutes for Haitian Port-au-Prince MTPP airport. The Simmarket page is ready but not operational. First payware airport from the Spectre independant developer.

New shots from.. Vancouver !

 
 
FSX. Kappa, a developer from FS Dreamteam, has posted several shots of Vancouver CYVR under a rainy day.

Carenado B200 : more details from interior

FSX. Carenado has posted a dozen insight shots of the King Air B200 version.

Look out Cesar! Viva la Mexico!

No word on the platform as yet but there is a new developer on the scene and he has his sights dead set on Mexico. Our friends over at Taxi2Gate are also working on an upgraded version of the airport as well. So far looks impressive!

More shots from XNA!

FSX. I am very impressed with the ground work here. Whitford is doing a great job on his XNA Northwest Arkansas Regioanl Airport. Have a look! Nice taxi signs too!

It is indeed nice!

Now officially AirDailyX does not cover X-Plane. The FS9 customer base is still a great deal larger and thus far, our readers have not expressed interest in the XPL platform. However, today I am making an exception for our good friends over at TropicalSim who are now launching products for the platform and the quality is outstanding! Our developers support us, we love em', and we always want to support them too! These are ADX exclusive and the product release is expected this week! So if there are any X-Plane heads in our crowd you have a new toy coming!

Warsaw. Simply beautiful!

FS9/FSX/P3D. As what we are considering to be one of the most detailed looking city sceneries to date, D.Design shows more of Warsaw. It looks amazing! I'm sure you'll agree!

The wait is over! Helsinki released!

FSX. A-Flight and Aerosoft has finally released the ultra amazing Helsinki. This has to be one of the best looking products we have seen. But just how good is it? Stay tuned for our exclusive review! Now go get it!

Puerto de VeraCruz: Photoreal scenery.

FSX. We don't have a lot of opportunities to show new projects about Mexico. Hermosillo airport has been resumed after computer problems. But "Waldos" has posted his work on the Mexican bay of Puerto de Cruz. A photoreal scenery of 100 MB.

Note to John Akkermans

John. Stealing our work to attempt to better your own blog is what we consider to be sad and shameful. We work very hard to earn the direct relationships we have with developers. Luck has nothing to do with it.  Please cease and desist from stealing further information from our site. Please don't be lazy Mr. Akkermans. You have been at this for what? 2 months now? Yes, we have been watching. If you want a successful news site you need to work for it. This goes for the other news sites leaching our information as well. Come on guys, if you go through the trouble to start a news site, at least have some decency and passion to work for it for goodness sake.

Actions like this are are sad and unacceptable.

Orbx Siletz Bay : Our own screenshots

FSX/P3D. Bill Womack latest work is a small airfield (S45) along the Pacific coast. Not as large as LongView ranch (and i suspect Bill is already working on another project too). But Siletz Bay is quite interesting as its connecting other secluded airfields : Stark Twin oaks and Creswell. Hot test in a few days.

More Montreal baby!

FS9/FSX/P3D. ADX always breaks the news first! George has just posted more shots on Montreal and they look absoulely great! Now that the P3D issues are behind him, the project is progressing very well! We are impressed... as always. Great work George! Oh I forgot: "Reflective puddles!!!"

Customer Support gone.

It now seems AirSimmer is officially without customer support. After the situation that is transpiring in the Avsim FS9 forum, Rob, the only person offering support has resigned from the position.

Aerosoft DR400 at night!

FSX. Aerosoft is showing off some night shots on their DR400 and lighting. I am looking forward to compare this with the Lionheart model.

Taxi2Gate? Is that you? ADX Exclusive!

FS9/FSX. I spoke a lot about ImagineSim at the threshold of joining the elite ranks of what we consider to be the best scenery developers in the industry. With the amazing looks of Taxi2Gate's latest work in progress: Bratislava, i'd say T2G just crossed over it! The kind of photoreal work I expect from D.Design. Nice!

Orbx Yellowstone: Oh my!

FSX/P3D. Thanks to Tim Harris, he has sent us the first previews of.. Orbx Yellostone airport for Central Rockies!

Aerosoft Airbus X : a video

FSX. A beta member of the Xtended project has uploaded an interesting video yesterday evening. According to Mathijs Kok, this week end in Paris, the release was a matter of days but as usual, the end of this kind of mega project is tricky.

Dusseldorf and Duda! YEAH!

FS9/FSX. We have truly missed Rainer Duda. He is the Santa Claus of flight simulation always bringing lots of beautiful screenshots to all the little boys and girls. Well this time he has brought us some Dusseldorf and we have been WAITING! So let's see what Santa Duda Claus has in his lovely bag of screenshots!

AirSimmer back under the negative...

Okay i'll admit. Here is a very badly beaten dead horse.

Another thriling shot of Helsinki

FSX. A-Flight - Aerosoft Mega airport Helsinki Vantaa on final approach ? A video is in preparation. Another picture here.

I'm moving to Poland!

FS9/FSX. Honestly, of all Poland has to offer historical wise, all the new airports being built there is worth trip alone. Thanks to Stan and the guys, we won't have to leave the house to get there. I'm blown away!

WOW!

FS9/FSX. Do I honestly need to say more?

Well gee! It's a GEE BEE!

FSX/P3D. Alabeo is on a freaking roll this year! This time it's the GeeBee model Z you see?

You can't have it yet but you can drool...

FSX/P3D. At least I am. My desk is soaking wet with all these previews. I told you all 2012 is the year for aircraft development! This time Carnado is performing "livery tests" just have a look while I mop this mess up.

Best practices in flight simulation !

A lot of commercial and industrial sectors are following the best practices rules to improve their quality. Why the flight simulation market wouldn't have such practices ?
We, the simmers, want to establish a best practices charter for editors and developers.
Here are a few possible ones. Send your one and Airdailyx will post this charter to all editors.

You can't have it yet but you can drool...

FSX. Here are some very sharp screens of the Airbus Extended. Looks so much like the real thing! Reminded me of my AirNewZealand days when we got the first A320's. We ferried them though L.A. and showed them off. There is nothing like the smell of a brand new A320. Sadly the Airbus Extended will not come with the new airplane smell regardless of how new it looks. Damn this baby is sharp!

I must be stupid !

More than 40 websites and forums checked today and no more than  2 or 3 news found.
6 hours spent this week end to go to the Bourget museum, make pictures, interview, come back to transcript all of this.. and in the meantime ? Simmers-news just post my preview, just like that and let think people it's from him.
And the funny news ? Simmer-news has almost more friends and "i like " than us on Airdailyx. It's a wonderful world and i am really stupid.
Good luck and good night !
Dom

Totally amazing!

FS9/FSX. This must be the case as my heart jumped so hard when I saw these shots! The details, the textures, the quality. Amazing! Folks, we bring you the first step in Polish Airports Volume One! Be sure to be sitting down when you click the link. Safety first!

Orbx Siletz Bay released !

 
FSX/P3D. Updated 10/01 18h UTC / It still not possible to download Siletz Bay, due - apparently - to the simstore flightsimstore.com  Siletz Bay was announced this morning as "ready to buy".
