Wake up QualityWings...

FSX. Justflight has just released a couple of teasers of their BAE / Avro freighter. Although we among others consider the CLS version to be inferior to QW's, I can already see many QW Avro fans purchasing the CLS now as this is one variant where QW failed us. Let's just hope they change their minds on this one.

Am i ratting out ?

[|FS Market]. Here is an updated list of developers who have not published any new FS projects since 2 months or more. That's okay, some of them might want to stay off to handle a heavy project. Problem is : if eveybody stops communicating, this Flight simulation market will be slowly dying.

Overland maybe? I really don't know.

FSX. We just got a tip from one of our loyal readers of some sort of pending Haneda project. Now we know Overland was working on this airport previously but they seemed to scrap it saying something to the effect of they weren't happy with the quality. Whatever the deal, this is an interesting find. As for quality, you be the judge.

Warsaw City FSX started.

FSX/P3D. Stan the Polish wizard and friends are well underway on cooking up Warsaw City for FSX. Just based on the first published screenshot, the resolution is very good!

Anything but civil!

Digital Aviation CRJ!!

FSX. Finally we get some brand new shots of the Aerosoft / Digital Aviation CRJ. This project is YEARS in the making. As AWG seems to be a bit slow coming along on theirs, this is very much welcome and warm news for the regional jet. Just look at these lovely images! I'm excited!

Troll dream!

EU England with defaut airports

FSX/P3D. Edward Boyte has posted a few screenshots of Orbx EU England pack. This time, it's about heavy airports design. Of course, Orbx is basically designing realistic ground layers and autogen but EU England will logically include Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted etc...

Dubai. Our impression!

It's the product everyone has been praying for, been waiting for, been... dying for. The mastermind that is Martin of FlyTampa has done it again. Should I even say "again"? Because, if you ask me, this is a first in the history of home PC flight simulation. I don't honestly think a single FS product has ever been hailed as king the way everyone is talking about Dubai. The last product that even came close was Martin's own KatTak and even that is a far cry compared to Dubai. So, let's pack our bags folks because we are going on a FS9/FSX wild ride to the place everyone wants to be: DXB!  Bandwidth Warning!  With over 140 screenshots, this is my largest review ever. Even the Dubai scenery will run faster than this review if you have low or limited bandwidth!

The latest from Majestic!

FSX/P3D. Majestic is throwing out another livery!

Alabeo Pawnee released!

FSX/P3D. Alabeo has just released their PA36 PAWNEE BRAVE 375! Go dust those crops!

There will be three!

FSX. SanDiego is finally coming to life and there are 3 developers all over it.

What you don't know, there is also a freeware version coming too!

Cheers to Martin!

As this is the month of ThanksGiving here in the US, I honestly wanted to take a moment to really say thanks to Martin for all the hard work he has done over the years. The Dubai project was a very long time coming and there is no developer more committed to flight simulation sceneries than him. This DXB project is likely to be the largest project ever taken on in FS and it's truly amazing by every facet of the word! So in the spirit of what we do in Dubai, here is a Hookah puff from me just for you Martin!
