Flight Replicas is pleased announce the release of the Messerschmitt 262A-1a and 262B Trainer for FSX.  Built specifically for FSX (SP2/Acceleration), this all-new extremely detailed and functional Gmax version of the famed Messerschmitt Me-262 features not only the single seat fighters, but the two-seat trainer with fully operational dual cockpits as well.

The Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe (German for “Swallow”) saw action from late summer of 1944 until the end of the war, sharing the title of first operational jet fighter with the British Gloster Meteor.

Both the 262A-1a and 262B Trainer include all the features you would expect in a FSX release, such as: highly accurate and fully clickable virtual cockpits modeled after real-life photos, accurate and working buttons on systems panel, full animations (including pilot), five different models and six different liveries all done with help from a major museum for authenticity, accurate landing gear sequences, a full flight operations manual, plus much more.

You can get this FSX only product now through Flight1. For more information, screenshots, and to download this great aircraft package, click here.

Adding to their continually expanding selection of texture add-ons for Flight Simulator X, Aero Files has released What A Wonderful World. This is a bundle collection of their previous “What a Wonderful…” series of textures.

What a Wonderful World is a set of ground textures enhancement for FSX. WWW supports the texture display of all seasons globally.

Supports

Rocks, mountain pastures, plains, deserts, marsh (with effects of water), forests, tundra, savanna, surfaces around certain airfields, glacier and snows, coral, hardened lava, yellow sand, white sand, black sand and many more. More than 3300 textures with a size over 2Gb of files.

How It Works

Textures of WWW replace those of FSX by new textures, in particular, those which have a desert aspect, while all of them are returning more colored and detailed textures. They were carried out on the basic of photograph taken in different parts of the world. WWW is an enormous piece of work which took more than 10 months to develop.

The Ground Detail Texture

Nature is often soiled by Man.

In reality, the ground is never quite clean. All kinds of waste are thrown onto the ground. A special texture is created in WWW for this very reason. As the resolution of this kind of texture does not make it possible to formally identify what one sees on the ground, you can easily imagine what you want to see there.

WWR, WWS & WWM

What a Wonderful Rockies, What a Wonderful Snow and What a Wonderful Mountain are now combined into one single product. This ensures you are running the same textures which so many flight simmers can’t live without.
