Thorsten Loth of sim-wings has kindly sent some fresh and first images of their actual project: Fairbanks Airport, Alaska.
As we are told work is progressing steadily, all the building are in place, still missing the window mirroring effects as you will see in the below images. Basically all 3d-Objects like vegetation and vehicles are however still missing. But if you know the localities you will have no trouble recognizing the airport already.
Fairbanks Scenery will first launch in a FSX only version but Thorsten has good news for all FS2004 users: that version will follow suit and will be at no extra cost.
“Flight Service Pack 3” is a collection of adventures from developers Perfect Flight that comes in two formats; ABL files for use in FS2004 and mission files for FSX. Simulating multi-crew airline operations with features including interactive briefings and cabin announcements, the product includes B737 and B747 repaints plus three flights – SW378 Dallas to Denver, UA274 – San Francisco to Honolulu and AA503 – Albany to Chicago, which are now bundled together in this single package.
For more details and to purchase, visit the product page.
Following their release of Flores for FSX, the team at Tropicalsim have now made it available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 as well.
The island, part of the “Occidental” segment of the Azores, features new coastlines and landclass, with photoreal scenery around the airport itself. For full details, please click here.
Instead of searching for charts in different places over the web, FS-Charts is a new software launched by Hinrichs IT-Service. In one central place and offline on your hard disk, you’ll have all needed FAA navigational informations.
According to the maker’s homepage, it’s divided in region package. At simMarket, you can purchase the first US Package (~15.000 charts) for 1 year, and optionally for 2 years long. The Europe package with 15.000 charts more inside, should be ready later in a separate product.
How interesting it is when you have knowledge in code programming, you can reproduce some nice piece of software.

Toulouse Blagniac LFBO, home airport of Airbus Industries in Europe, from where they takeoff for first time. And it’s also an historic place for Sud Aviation Caravelle, Concorde and the first Airbus A320 productions.
Since 2005, the FS2004 scenery of Sim-Wings (Manfred Spatz) hasn’t received update so Aerosoft will be welcome with Toulouse X for FSX, and maybe FS2004. X-Plane 10 and Prepar3D versions are not excluded.

This is my review of Carenado's recent release of the Cessna 340 II HD for FSX.
The Cessna 340 II is a twin-engine general aviation aircraft manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, USA.
Development of this aircraft began in 1969 with the first deliveries made in 1971. The ...
Europe has always been the place to be for FS enthusiasts. Just about any country has at least one airport modeled for it, but most have multiple, especially in Western Europe. Flying to the UK, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, you will always find a place ...
Helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It has always been a thing of controversy. The first helicopter to appear in Microsoft Flight Simulator was the Bell 206 JetRanger, in FS98. Even though it’s been there for a couple of versions, the default JetRanger was never very realistic. Dodosim managed to change ...
This is the second multi airport release from this group and like the first they have modelled in great detail three Polish airports; Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport (EPLL), Szczecin-Goleniów Airport (EPSC) and Zielona Góra Airport (EPZG). The package is availale for both FS2004 and FSX. My review is of the ...
JustPlanes has released their first High Definition DVD. Air Canada's 777-200LR is covered in this DVD from Toronto to Vancouver and then a round trip from Vancouver to Sydney, Australia. This DVD is a little different for JustPlanes. It's not because it's in HD but because they cover parts of ...
Real weather applications for FSX are not as commonly developed as aircraft or scenery add-ons so it's nice when we see a new one on the market. fsClimate from Equinox IT is one that was developed as a very basic weather generator and uses live data from NOAA. Let’s see ...

Iceland also known as the Republic of Iceland is an island country with an area of 103,000sq kms in the North Atlantic. It is sparsely populated having only about 320,000 inhabitants and of those ...
On the whole, there are two places in the flight simming world that are all but forgotten: Europe and the Caribbean. Aerosoft has made loads of sceneries for Europe, and also has been doing stuff for the Caribbean. However, there are other developers out there, too, that, when hearing the ...
This is the VirtualCol version of the Cessna T303 Crusader twin airplane. It is reasonably well modelled with clean lines and you get 3 repaints in the package (plus a repaint package). In general the instrumentation is reasonably good, nice and clear and functional, as are the default Baron sounds ...
