Just Flight
Releases the Mosquito Demo
Just Flight has just released the demo version
of the DeHavilland Mosquito.
The demo aircraft is the BOAC Unarmed high speed
courier G-AGFV High speed courier aircraft operated by British Overseas
Airways (BOAC) and adapted to carry one passenger in an extremely compact
compartment in the bomb bay on high speed envoy missions. The BOAC markings
were a pale attempt at trying to convey to the enemy that the aircraft was
unarmed. The Mosquito's enviable high speed performance was a very handy
defence.
The demo is flyable however no panel and no VC
are included.

You WILL NOT be able to upgrade your software and you will not be
privy to any add-on's that require the "Deluxe" version.
The "Deluxe" Version
is the ONLY WAY TO GO!
Immersive world
Flight Simulator X offers players a rich and innovative
gaming experience with new technological advancements, incredible graphics
and added realism, including weather, time of day and seasons. Pilots can
watch moving cars and detailed buildings in cities below, traffic on highways,
indigenous houses, farmland and livestock, and wildlife in their natural
habitats.
Mission-based game play
With the addition of new mission-based game play,
players have a specific purpose as their world comes alive for the first
time with automobile traffic, moving boats and ships, and animal life. With
more than 50 new missions to choose from, aviators can build their skill
levels and engage in even more stimulating game play than before. Players
can choose to compete in the Red Bull air race or bring relief materiel
to the Congo, keeping track of their progress on each mission.
New aircraft
Flight Simulator X provides pilots with the ability
to fly the aircraft of their dreams, from the DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver float
plane and Grumman G-21A Goose to the AirCreation 582SL Ultralight and Maule
M7-260C Orion with wheels and skis. Players will be amazed at the details,
such as shaded rivets, reflective paint, and glint from glass and chrome,
as they view the world from 10 to 30,000 feet.
Connected world
Through increased online game play capabilities,
“Flight Simulator X” offers players a connected world where they
can choose whom they want to be, from air-traffic controller to pilot or
co-pilot, as they interact with other aviators from around the globe by
chatting in real time via headset and keyboard.
Interactive airports
More than 24,000 airports feature artificial intelligence-controlled
jetways, fuel trucks and moving baggage carts, allowing players to explore
their hometown or venture to a favorite far-off city.
And as we have all discovered, Flight Simulator
X was designed to operate utilizing
Windows Vista & DirectX
10
Both of which were released on January 30, 2007.
Incorporated within Windows Vista is the new DirectX 10. This new operating
system is leaps and bounds above Windows XP and will provide a better Flight
Simulating experience. Optimal experience will be obtained with the purchase
of Windows Home Premium Edition or greater. Unlike Windows XP, be
forewarned before upgrading your OS. Suggested retail price for
Windows Vista Home Premium full package product, $239.00 USD.
Suggested upgrade retail price, $159.00 USD. This price only
includes ONE license for ONE computer. Additional licenses
are only discounted an average of 10% per Microsoft's web site.
In order to achieve descent frame rates with both
Windows XP & Windows Vista and still have some measure of detail, several
authors have devised "Tweaks" that we all can incorporate into our new Flight Simulator
X to make the simulation more enjoyable.
Throughout this Website will be listed several
"Tweaks",
recommendations and web links from various web sites to obtain additional
files and to read within forums to help you understand and implement certain
modifications that will enhance your Flight Simulator X experience.
The "tweaks" that are listed throughout this web page have been utilized
by myself; resulting in a substantial increase in frame rates
(from 8.0 fps before the tweaks to 18 - 45 frames/sec. after the "tweaks")

All Tweaks listed within this
site have been tested using
Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and
Microsoft Flight Simulator X:Acceleration Expansion Pack/SP2 |
