Aerosoft - Approaching Innsbruck

Filed under: Flight Simulator News — admin @ 1:35 am
Experience Innsbruck airport, one of the most challenging airports in Europe. Every building is recreated with great attention to detail and realism and is placed on high definition areal images in the great Alpine landscape.

Innsbruck Kranebitten Airport (LOWI) is the main airport of Western Austria. In the winter months it is particularly busy because of the many tourists that come for the ski slopes of the region. As the airport is located in a deep valley the approaches and departures are far from standard and many of the procedures can only be flown by pilots who got authorisation of the federal office of civil aviation. Challenging in good weather conditions, potentially lethal in the less then ideal condition.

VATSIM-UK Liverpool Fast4ward - 21st June

Filed under: Flight Simulator News — admin @ 6:04 pm
Dust off your Ryanair PMDG 737s and easyJet Wilco A319s! VATSIM-UK and the Northern Regional Training Scheme would like to invite you to the first Fast4ward event, which will will this year, be held at the airport which serves the historic and legendary city of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Liverpool is a fantastic city with a rich culture, and is home to a diverse group of people; the airport is named after the Beatles star, John Lennon, and sits in a very small piece of airspace which quickly leads to the airspace becoming crowded under normal conditions, so this event will push pilots and controllers to the maximum and promises to be an unforgettable event.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (EGGP) will be hosting the first in a series of Fast4ward events - a Fast4ward is a little bit like a real operations, in that all of the day's flights are bookable in a "realops system", but the time of arrival and departure are altered so that the days flights fit into four hours, compressing the level of traffic so it's busier and more challenging.

During this event, which will be held between 1700 and 2100 zulu on the 21st of June 2009, we will have the following positions online:

MAN_CTR
EGGP_APP
EGGP_F_APP*
EGGP_TWR
EGGP_GND

*Subject to traffic levels

Other enroute positions are expected to open, too, which means Liverpool will be the place to be on Sunday the 21st of June!

To browse, and book your flight, please click this link: http://www.vatsim-uk.org/realops/index.php?ev=31 - You will need to log in using your VATSIM CID number and password to book, and there are about 96 to choose from!

A document for pilots which can be printed out (we strongly suggest you read it before the event, don't worry, it's short!) can be found here: http://www.vatsim-uk.org/realops/Liverp ... _Brief.pdf

Flight bookings can be made here: http://www.vatsim-uk.org/realops/?ev=31

We look forward to seeing you at Liverpool!

AlphaSim release AS365 Dauphin

Filed under: Flight Simulator News — admin @ 12:54 am
Now available for FS2004 - the AS365N Dauphin. One of Aerospatiale's finest designs, the Dauphin found roles in both the civilian and military spheres, acting as a reliable VIP transport as well as a well-equipped lifesaver in the SAR and MedEvac roles. AlphaSim's package includes both the earlier N1 version as well as the modified N2, each in VIP transport and MedEvac guises.

One thing the Dauphin is known for is the variety of colourful paint schemes which were applied to its sleek lines, our model set does not disappoint here, there are no less than eight colourful texture sets (including a fictional US Coast Guard one), with matching interior colours. The models feature different interior fittings for VIP and MedEvac, the latter sporting a working winch on the N2 version. The detailed v-c has many mousable features, including a full suite of radios. The initial release is of the FS2004 version, but FSX is as usual where the model looks its best, self-shadowing and bump mapping adding to the appreciation of the Dauphin's classic shape. FSX also adds some more detail, including a third crew member in the MedEvac version and added v-c detailing in all versions.

A superb set of Dauphin sounds by Adriano Martoni is included with both sim versions, these reproduce that special Dauphin whirring to a tee. Both FS9 and FSX-specific flight models make the Dauphin a pleasure to fly. 6 months in development, this is a great package for both beginners and conessieurs alike.

For FS2004 only. Full FSX version to follow. Filesize : 70MB.
Price : approx. $32 USD, £19.95, 22.75 EUR, 40 AUD
