Dancing with Springboks – Touring South African Airports
“When I accepted this article from Computer Pilot I thought it would be an easy one but as I began my research I discovered the contrary to be true. With so many airports and airfields and a shortage of third party add-on scenery how was I going to choose a good mix that represents South Africa? I hope that this “round-robin” style presentation will offer some insight to this great country.”
Flight Sim Affairs and Crimes of Passion – Part II
The de Havilland Beaver’s engine roared as the floats skimmed across the surface of the water. I pulled back on the stick and the plane soared effortlessly into the sky. Libby, my co-pilot was sitting so close that our shoulders were touching. We had barely reached 1200ft when unexpectedly she put her left hand on the joystick and said… ‘I have control’
VFAT 2007- Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams
One of the lesser known features of Lock-On is the quality of its netcode. Netcode is the application code that handles how data and instructions are passed from computer to computer during a multiplayer game. Not long after its release, small groups of flight sim enthusiasts began experimenting with formation aerobatics using the superior netcode of Lock-On. This has resulted in virtual aerobatic teams, and events like VFAT!
IL-2 Sturmovik:1946 Series Part II – Bombing
This is the second in a series of articles featuring the IL 2 –Sturmovik, 1946 flight simulator. Last month we explored the menus, developed Quick Missions, and looked at a 1v1 scenario between a Zero and a U. S. Navy F6F Hellcat. This month we will examine various bombing methods.
Your Very Own FS Website
“Right off the bat I can tell you that if you have never built a website, then a few of the options aren’t for you! Anything you do in life wants to be learned first, website building is no exception. So if you want to make your own site entirely, expect to have knowledge of HTML at the very minimum, preferably you also understand what ‘domain names’ are, what DNS is, have some knowledge of PHP, know how to work on photos and graphics (specifically how to adapt them for web usage), and then some.”
Meet Your Makers – Christian Stock
“After I had seen the abysmal representation of New Zealand in Flight Simulator, a dream was born - a dream to recreate a much more realistic representation of the stunning surroundings that were my home at the time. Luckily, I knew just where to start.”
Real GA Flying – Cessna Transition
You know the feeling when trying out a new car? How about trying out a new airplane? That’s what Doug Horton was able to do last year, as he explored selling his older airplane and buying a partnership in a much newer plane.
Freeware Frenzy
This month we have found everything from practical and handy aviation conversion charts to AI ship creators to populate scenery, plus add-on scenery for FSX, FS2004 and more!
