Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport Released
 FSDreamTeam is pleased to announce the release of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport for FSX and FS9, with a license valid for use in both
simulators. The scenery is available in Trial version, and can be freely
downloaded from FSDreamTeam website.
A new exciting South Florida destination
that has never been covered properly before, located in convenient location
that can be reached easily by hundreds of important airports within short
distance. As with previous sceneries, the FSX version comes with the new
FSDreamTeam scripting engine, with YouControl features to control several
scenery animations. Very high fully custom hires ground is included both
in FS9 and FSX, and custom jetways using native FSX animations are featured
as well.
New Aerosoft Releases
 Mallorca
X for FSX - This scenery for
FSX created by the developers of SimWings, does not only cover the two airports
on the island, but covers the whole island with high definition mesh and
textures (for FSX 50 cm textures are used for the whole airport). The airports
use AESlite to make the vehicle traffic more realistic and the latest version
of AES (version 2.02) covers the airports as well. A perfect destination
for your European flights this summer!
Airport Enhancement Services 2.02 - AES has been updated to version 2.02. The new version solves
a few issues but mostly adds a lot more FSX airports. Of course it includes
the new Aerosoft products Lisbon X and Mallorca X, but also scenery from
FSDreamteam, ImageSim and UK2000 are now covered by AES.
Airport Facilitator X v1.07 Available
 Flight1 is pleased to
announce a new update for our Airport
Facilitator X product. The
new version introduces copy&paste functionality, improves the performance
of the live preview and contains several bug fixes. Airport Facilitator
X is an advanced airport editor
for FSX and FS9 that lets you see your changes live in Flight Simulator.
Modify Existing Airports Or Create
New Ones!
AFX is a powerful airport editor for FS2004
and FSX for both novice and expert Flight Simulator users. You can easily
modify any of Flight Simulator airports, convert your favorite AFCADs to
FSX and enhace them with FSX-specific features, or even design a new airport
from scratch.
AFX allows you to add, modify, or remove
runways, taxiways, and paths, taxiway signs, aprons, start location, navaids,
parking spots and many more airport features.
For FSX airports, it can add fences, moving
jetways, vehicle links and parking spots. The utility also gives you access
to FSX-specific runway markings and other attributes.
AVSIM Hacked!
 Tom
Allensworth, CEO and Publisher of AVSIM, today issued the following announcement;
"We regret to inform the flight simulation community that on Tuesday,
May 12, AVSIM was hacked and effectively destroyed. The method of the hack
makes recovery difficult, if not impossible, to recover from. Both servers,
that is the library / email and web site / forum servers were attacked.
AVSIM is totally offline at this time and we expect to be so for some time
to come. We are not able to predict when we will be back online, if we can
come back at all. We will post more news as we are able to in the coming
days and weeks.
Update: A temporary forum has been set
up to provide updates here.
Aerosoft Releases The PBY
Catalina
 The PBY Catalina
is without a doubt one of the most famous flying boats ever build. After
its first flight in 1935 it quickly transformed into the PBY-5A amphibian
model that is best known. Despite its strange shape that is rather organic
it became a true work horse of many air forces and navies and kept patrolling
the oceans for decades.
It had many roles, search and rescue, any
shipping or anti submarine patrols or long range reconnaissance. To this
day the Catalina is well known to millions and a guest of honor at many
air shows.
Features:
Models, sound and flight behavior
- 11 different models based on the PBY-5,
PBY 5A and PBY-6A.
Different flight behavior for all different models that are checked with
all available data and by current Catalina pilots. Now this is said a lot
for FS add-on aircraft, but one Catalina operator is actually using this
product for simple training in the winter when most Catalina's are hangar
queens.
Impressive and powerful sound set, you actually will be able to tune the
engines using your ears.
Aerosoft Sound Module that adds sound to switches, controls and events.
From hydraulic pumps to the sound of the engines problems, this creates
a far more immersive environment.
Two different cockpits, one typical for the 1940s and 1950s and one as
many Catalina's are flown today (with modern radio and GPS equipment).
Cowl flaps, floats and landing gear has better simulation of influence
on drag by use of additional coding.
More realistic water operation by use of additional coding.
Manual (400+ pages) in two parts, includes full actual operational manual
of one of the few PBY-5A's flying at this moment.
