November 2006

RealAir have added a screenshot of their upcoming Beechcraft Duke 80 to their site.

I’ve been a long time fan of RealAir and have purchased all of their previous products (Decathlon, Spitfire, SF260, Scout etc) as I’ve always been impressed with the flight dynamics and general good fun you can have with their aircraft, so I’m really looking forward to this one.

Wilco continue with their Flight Simulator X conversions with the release of an FSX specific version of their Legacy business jet add-on.

It’s good to see Wilco actively moving their products to FSX and I hope to see more developers doing so soon.

Wilco have released a Flight Simulator X specific version of their 777. They now have multiple versions: one for Flight Simulator 2004, a patch to use the FS2004 version in FSX and now one specific to FSX.

Flight1 have announced the release of a new product - the Triden Autopilot System for Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 9.

This add-on provides a model of “The Century Flight Systems, Inc. TRIDEN SERIES Autopilot is an advanced General Aviation Flight Control System. The Century Triden AP system includes the Triden AP with vertical speed, alt hold, approach, nav, hdg, flight director and yaw damper modes.”

The Flight1 web site also adds “In addition to the Autopilot, the TRIDEN Automatic Flight Control System include the world famous century NSD-1000 HSI, Century ADI w/FD and the Century GPSS/HDG switch, plus an Altitude Preselect and Alerter.”

“A panel editor interface allows you to add the autopilot system to any existing aircraft in your flight simulator library. Two manuals, one for the autopilot system and the other for the panel editor, are also included with the software.”

The add-on can be purchased via Flight1’s usual E-Commerce enabled download.

The FSX patches are starting to arrive thick and fast. Commercial Level Simulations have released a patch for their Business Jet to make it compatible with Flight Simulator X.
