The Best of 2010

Santa Claus has got to be a huge aviation fan. Consider this- he does not fly often but when he does it is unquestionably an epic trip where he undoubtedly encounters a variety of meteorological conditions and he executes an unbelievable amount of takeoffs and landings in a single day. Therefore, it is quite fitting to make requests at this time of year and hope that this experienced aviator will deliver. So, whether you have these items on your Christmas wish list or not, these are some of the best products released in 2010 for flight simulation in our humble opinion.

The Quest for the Best Freeware FS2004 737 Panel

While the default 737-400 panel can be used in the newer aircraft (and is the standard panel with some of the freeware NG aircraft models) it is a bit dated and does not accurately represent the feel of the newer flight deck with its CRT screens in place of steam gauges. Evidently more than a few panel designers felt the same way and created freeware panels for that aircraft. We set out to sample some of what was available and compare them in order to try and find the perfect freeware panel.

The Control of Air Traffic Control

There are two major online ATC providers- VATSIM and IVAO. I examined those two organizations in this magazine (CP November 2008) and am of the opinion that VATSIM is the more popular and extensive online ATC provider. I thought it might be of interest to peek behind the curtain and explore the structure of VATSIM to get an idea of why it is a dominant and enduring entity in online flying.

3D Vision Surround and Alternative Flight Simulator Displays

In this article, we’ll look at alternatives for viewing Flight Simulator on multiple and large displays, including NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Surround system, AMD/ATI’s Eyefinity multi-monitor graphics card technology, a 46” LCD TV, a Flight Training Device that uses five 52” LCD television displays, and a 720p home theater projector that displays FSX on a 106” movie screen.

FAQ – Systems for Flight Simulation

Looking to buy a new PC or upgrade your current system? Wondering what the best system is for flight simulation? Will that particular video card run X-Plane or FSX well? These are all questions we cover in this new column!

I learned about flying from that – Part 6

“To fill a square on the training syllabus, I was scheduled for a night formation flight. I needed a wing takeoff and was assigned as Number Four in a four-ship formation. The first element of two would launch, and the element I was in would take off a minute later and would perform a join up to fulfill the four-ship night formation requirement.”

M. A. REALTURB - REALTURB PILOT MONITORING FOR A32NX MSFS
Nikos
I have ran the program and I am totally satisfied. Aft-
er "Speech Recognition", which is a must, everything worked absolutely right and everything is more realistic compared to past versions. From now on I will be able to fly as part of a crew, instead of flying on my own. Very good job, Thank you.
LIVING AIRPORTS - 3D LIGHTS V2 P3D4 P3D5
Cho
They improved upon what is already a great addon for P3D. I have been using their lights since version 1 first came out. I love the option to change light colors and sizes in version 2. It is very good with performance as well. Highly recommended!!
DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - KEWR NEWARK LIBERTY INTL MSFS
Aro
A follow-up to my previous comment - after the update the scenery works even smoother and with shorter loading times. I like the options added in the installer. Good job!
PROJECT MAX - VABB MUMBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MSFS
Stevens
Terminal 1a Textures are horrendous, I hope this developer revamps this airport with better the textures ground and building wise. There’s becoming this issue where developers produce low quality work on this beautiful next gen sim. It’s sad.
FSDG - SEYCHELLES FSX P3D
David
I love this scenery! I love large scenery add ons that have much to explore over a wide coverage area. This delivers both in fine quality of the scenery and a huge area to to enjoy. Excellent custom auto gen, land class and many different airports and air strips. All with unique flavors. There are a bunch of AI things to see from ships to birds and even a turtle. Not sure the turtle counts as AI? Whatever. It’s a fun, big and great looking area to fly around. It’s a nice companion to the Maldives scenery also. Sure it’s 1200 miles away but a nice flight to or from either scenery areas. Seychelles is the perfect place to fly just about anything but especially nice with helicopters, otters, beavers, small business jets and amphibians. You can play charter pilot to your hearts content and find something new every time. Highly recommended. -
Based on use with 3.3ghz i7 16GB Ram Intel UHD630 integrated GPU, amazing frames!
MK STUDIOS - DUBLIN V2 MSFS
Kin
There are buildings with flickering. This was an issue on V1 and was updated. Now with V2 it's back again, need to fix on the next series of versions.
TROPICALSIM-2 - KANSAS CITY INTL KMCI MSFS
Samuel
If you want an upgrade from the horrible default that MSFS gave us then go ahead get this, but just be aware that this scenery is outdated since the new terminal is now open and this scenery still has it as a construction pit.
VIRTAVIA - SHORT STIRLING MSFS
Garry
This is a Fantastic Historical aircraft. It looks right, it feels right, it sounds right. BUT.. One thing i am disappointed about there is no interactive checklist you have to use the checklist in the manual ( which is a very good manual admittedly) but its a pain having to toggle windows to read then execute it in the sim. Asobo/microsoft did a lovely in game checklist seems a shame to then ignore it, i will knock one star off for this otherwise this is a 5 star aircraft
ROMANTIC WINGS - MIL MI-8 / 17 TWIN TURBINE HELICOPTER MSFS
David
Very responsive helicopter with lots of switches and controls. Has a slightly yaw to the right but can be trimmed to compensate it.
AFS-DESIGN - MIG-21 V2 FSX
HORATIU
Installer works flawlessly, no issues. Models-
, both single and the dual seater are not FSX native and the rendition is poor. I was interested in the package as it was advertised that it contains the only available FSX dual seater; Virtual Cockpit is fairly functional, but doesn't let you fly alternately from both cockpits in the dual seater. On the good side, this package contains an impressive collection of user countries liveries. Flig-
ht Dynamics is sub par, the aircraft has "arcade" style behavior, maybe because the aircraft cfg has very few elements in common with the real "numbers" of the MiG. Maybe a future V3 version will bring a higher level of rendition for this iconic aircraft.
