PMDG 777 - New shot!

FSX. If you are not following PMDG on facebook, you are seriously missing out on preview screen shots posted every so often!

To Release With or Without Bugs?

Rant/Editorial. I’ve been sitting here pondering an increasingly relevant topic regarding flight simulation add-ons. That topic being, is it okay to release products with known bugs or deficiencies? My initial reaction is no, absolutely not! However, the more I think about the topic the more I am conflicted. Read more for my rant/editorial.

LatinVFR San Diego - Review

FS9/FSX. The flight simulator community has been patiently waiting for a high quality rendition of San Diego International Airport (KSAN), and we may just have it thanks to LatinVFR – with a FS9 version to boot. Although the legacy FlyTampa FS9 release was fantastic for its time, it is now somewhat dated and leaves FSX/P3D users without a viable option. As most of you know, LatinVFR has been in the flight simulator add-on game for quite some time, and this product sets a new standard for future releases from this developer.

LHSim Budapest Feature list!

FS9/FSX/XPL. We are extremely excited about the upcoming release of LHBP from the Hungarian team LHSimulations. This is a team of highly talented guys from all over Hungary that came together to give their country the attention it deserved in the FS world. Boy have they surpassed that goal by far! LHBP is their biggest undertaking and the responce from the community has been overwhelming positive. Today, we get a first look at some of the features the scenery will encompass. Here are the facts we can confirm at the moment:

France VFR North Pas-de-Calais

FSX. Another "VFR" range in preparation. Nord-Pas-de-Calais is another of these previously released VFR sceneries, three years ago, with Alsace and Britain. I have weakness for this one since i lived a part of my life in this region.

Torture never looked so good...

FSX/P3D. Which is very true of the effect Majestic has on the community while we wait, and wait.... and wait... for the Q-400's release. Each new shot is pure torture and for what it's worth, torture never look so good. So as always, with each new preview we get from Majestic, we continue to extend the torture to our readers so you can all feel just a little bit worse today as you still can't have it yet. And if I have to feel this tortured, then so do you lot as well... but we do love you all... honest... really...

X-Plane 10.20 is Final...Now 64-Bit!

What do you think of X-Plane? Read the full announcement inside and see some platform screenshots for those of you not familiar with X-Plane..

TriStar at night...

FSX. Now before everyone starts shooting from the hip, I am fully aware many of you are not pleased with the previews of JustFlight's TriStar. JF can be known for releasing some very sub-par projects. I myself have been disappointed with products I have purchased from the publisher. But there are also some very good products I have bought from them too. In the case of their upcoming L-1011, (an aircraft I adore) all I can say is, no one else is dedicating any time to it. So maybe we will purchase it for review purposes in an attempt to tell you to either spend or save your money.

Mouth Water!!

FS9/FSX/P3D. This is the scenery package I am most looking forward to this year! Not only will it include the entire island of Manhattan in unprecedented detail, but it will also include several NY area airports in HIGH detail: JFK, EWR, LGA, LDJ, TEB, and CDW. It's very exciting! And for those concerned over performance issues in FSX/P3D, our advice is only activate the sceneries you will use for your flight plan. We also have the first alphas of the surrounding photoscenery! Looking great!

Aerosim Review Series #2

FSX. With Kobe airport being the second of the series, Aerosim has created a fantastic local airport which sits 8nm from Kansai International. Kobe airport serves Japan domestically with greater access to the other side of Osaka Bay. Having personally been to this airport, I can tell you that Aerosim have done a superb job modeling the whole airport and city.

LIRF freeware... and now a video

FSX. And what video... 3 minutes of preview (and 4 minutes of a Hollywood-like motion picture final), in a dark dusk light with a pompous music. Oh dear god. Can't this team just show us some decent screenshots ? Judge yourself. A few ones are looking quite good though.. If only we could see more details.
