• All textures made from a specially designed HD template, featuring many additional aircraft details previously unseen. Includes visible panel lines, new fuselage, tail and engine details, highly realistic turbine fan blades, true to life wheels and more!

• Recent additions to the 777 family included, such as Jet Airlines, TAM and Virgin Australia.

• Free demonstration included with MyTrafficX 5.2a, featuring Continental Airlines 777-200.

Filed under: Flight Simulator News — admin @ 3:46 pm
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."

Airport Design Editor Release 1.40

Filed under: Flight Simulator News — admin @ 4:53 pm
ScruffyDuck Software and the ADE Development Team are delighted to announce the release of Airport Design Editor Version 1.40. This is a significant new release with a number of bug fixes, enhancements and new features. The major new function is the Visual Approach Designer. In the past creating approaches has meant writing xml code and repeatedly checking it in Flight Simulator. With Version 1.40 we have introduced a graphical interface for approach design that mimics the FSX GPS Display.

In addition, ILS approach code can be automatically added when adding a user specified ILS. It is now possible to randomize parking order, or drag the order of parking spots to suit your needs . Users can now import information from a bgl or xml files into an existing project. We have enhanced a number of areas including the range of co-ordinate formats that can be used when entering locations; runway length of greater than 20,000ft are now allowed; inclusion of no crash and no autogen suppression of objects; locking of objects groups such as runways or aprons is now specific to each project. We have fixed many bugs including the one that caused ADE project files to grow in size and the one that caused objects to move after setting their position manually.
