In order to make compatible to FSX some of your FS2004 addons, you may use Addon Converter X.
This FlightSim Tools plugin exists in version 1.07 as the latest, to be compatible with Flight1′s Airport Studio and bring a better stability on some PCs running Windows 7.
If you’re already a regular user of FS Captain tool, this shouldn’t be considered as fresh news at all.
This update has been available for weeks already, it’s better an opportunity to bring some more light on this career and passengers rating solution.
In its last version 1.3.1, FSCaptain can “review or add winds aloft data in detail”, “cancel or divert a flight”, “plan multi-legs flight”, and even other new features implemented and bugs fixed.
Nemeth Designs and MilViz have released their latest model, the Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopter, through simMarket.
The Chinook is, without doubt, an aviation icon. Developed in the early 1960s, the twin-rotor workhorse has seen action in many military roles around the entire globe, has flown as a heliliner, done logging duties, search and rescue… There’s actually very little that the aircraft has not done over the years and often in situations where a single-rotor aircraft could not have operated.
The Nemeth Designs aircraft requires FSX plus the Acceleration add-on pack to function and represents the “D” model of the aircraft. It is fitted with an interactive VC that includes a working AFCS (automatic flight control system) and a Sonic Solutions sound set. For full details and to purchase, click here.
It’s worth putting up that video again, we think, to advertise the addition of Shovsoft’s “Lunar Flight” to simMarket’s catalogue.
If you’re after a break from the norm, a trip to the moon might be just the ticket and Lunar Flight gives you the opportunity to try your hand in a fictionalised, but fun, lunar lander module as you fly cargo, survey and recovery missions in a graphically wonderful environment with authentic Newtonian physics.
Also featuring the ability to purchase upgrades for your lander using mission based income and ‘time trial’ tests of piloting skill, the sim can be found here.
In honour of the developer’s birthday, JRollon‘s award-winning CRJ-200 airliner for X-Plane is on half price sale until 20th May 2012.
The little Canadian jet is in use around the world as a short-haul commuter or feeder aircraft and JRollon’s version for XP9.55+ (some features require XP10) includes a functional cockpit, FMS and numerous upgrades over ‘base spec’ X-Plane models. Check it out here.
Xtreme Booster from Flight Simulator Platform Solutions has been around for a while for Microsoft FSX, getting good reviews from customers, so it is perhaps unsurprising that the developer’s next step has been to copy the technology across to Lockheed Martin‘s Prepar3D simulation platform.
What Xtreme Prepar3D Booster does, essentially, is manage the way that the simulator, its supporting packages such as weather or ATC programs and your computer interact by applying ‘tweaks’, setting applications to unused cores and suchlike, giving you maximum performance from your system without constant manual changes.
The full product description and purchase information can be found here.
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.

CARENADO - B58 BARON — The Noble or Rouge Review.

The definition of a “simulation” is to imitate something real. VERO (“real” in Italian) has just began producing what we believe to be one of the most significant developments in flight simulation for the years to come: photo-realistic sceneries of unprecedented detail.
They decided to start with photo-real ground textures to ...
FS Captain offers so much to the simmer. If you don’t belong to a VA but would like the feel of working for an airline or if you work for a VA but still want more realism and ratings on the quality of your piloting, this is an application for ...
We are now into our 10th (last?) incarnation of the Microsoft Flight Simulator series. For some simmers the question as we are booting up our PC’s and loading the weather system is, “Now that I’m ready to fly… Where do I fly?” For some their VA assignments are the solution ...
