    Vista Australis: Overview and Interview
    We explore one of the most interesting freeware community projects to be developed of late - a scenery and texture package for the Great South Land of Australia. Take a look at why this add-on is proving popular in the sim world, along with an exclusive in-depth interview with the lead designer!

    The Ins and Outs of Sim Flying
    So you have just got your new flight simulator and you can just fire up the engine and take off right? Perhaps… Sometimes flight simming just isn’t that easy, but other times (and you would hope these form the majority) there is nothing better! Yes folks, flight simming too has its ups and downs and long time simmer, Hans Biggelaar takes you on perhaps a very familiar journey as he explores the ins and outs of flight simulation.

    Flying the Memories: The Flight to Freedom
    It was the summer of 1940 and World War II was raging in Europe. Refugees were fleeing the onslaught of the Nazi war machine to whatever country offered a safe haven. Britain was being blitzed by the Hitler’s Luftwaffe and wasn’t an option. Only the Americas and a few other countries offered safety and were the most desired destinations. They offered a flight to freedom…

    VFR Around Washington, D.C.
    Want to know what happens when you stray into controlled airspace virtually unannounced? You get F-16s and Blackhawks chasing you! Join Dr David Wilson-Okamura as he takes a look at VFR airspace rules and conditions, with a case study of just such an incursion event!

    Building a “Boom Box” for Flight Simulation Audiophiles take note
    This is not an article about creating an oversized, shoulder mounted stereo system from the 1980’s. It's about building a booming PC computer box for flight simulation of course! John Tavendale looks at all the latest PC technology to help update your personal data banks on the newest gear available.

    Bill Stack’s Column
    You know you’re an avid flight simmer when you see something that reminds you of flight simulation even though it has no direct relationship! Is it a case of more than the eye can meet?

    Over Flanders Fields
    What could this be about I hear you ask? Well, there is a dedicated group of simmers who have gathered to create a World War I add-on that runs under CFS3! Find out what it is all about and how you can get a piece of the action as Ian Howlett reports on this interesting add-on project.

    Air-to-Air Weaponry
    Mike Glynn explores the technology of air-to-air weaponry and how they can be best deployed to improve your chances of success in the skies.

    A Wishlist for FSX
    Peter Dodds offers a personal wishlist for the upcoming FSX release by Microsoft, taking into account developments over and upon previous versions, with a projected foresight into what may be included in the next version of this popular sim title.

    From the EDITOR..
    Greetings fellow sim enthusiasts, and welcome to the March 2006 issue. This issue actually marks my 50th issue as Editor of Computer Pilot Magazine. Boy, time sure does fly! It seems like only yesterday that I was tackling the task of learning the ropes and doing my best to piece together my very first issue as the “big cheese” of the magazine. Five years have since passed and I can tell you that, even with fifty issues under my belt, the job certainly doesn’t get any easier! Producing a magazine and adhering to deadlines is certainly a big challenge requiring endless hours of work, many lost weekends and last minute, pre-deadline chaos, but there are rewards to the task, and also a sense of accomplishment as each issue heads off to the printers. After all, if there were no bright sides to the equation, I probably would have been long gone after issue number two!

    We have achieved some milestones over the years however, most notably the transition from bi-monthly issues to monthly issues, which just about tripled our workload each month but resulted in double the amount of material reaching your hands each calendar year. We have published many more issues in total than any other printed flight simulation magazine has been able to achieve to date, and our longevity can be attributed to our large and loyal reader and subscriber base… that’s you! We are very thankful to have you onboard as regular readers of our publication, and if this is the first issue you have purchased, we welcome you aboard! It is our aim to deliver the best overall coverage of the flight simulation arena for the enthusiast in a professionally produced, high-quality printed magazine. We believe we have achieved this over the years basically because we are still here, but we aren’t just happy with going with the flow… We constantly aim for higher quality and to bring new and interesting content to you on a monthly basis.

    This month is no different. We have a great lineup of content to please just about anyone from the classic aircraft lover to the Top Gun jet pilot. I’ve babbled on enough in this column, so flip to the contents page and discover what’s in store for you in the March 2006 issue of the world’s only monthly flight simulation printed resource – Computer Pilot Magazine!
