Flight Sim Commander Version 9
Posted: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 - 1:36
Senior staff reviewer David Wilson-Okamura plans and analyzes his flights with Flight Sim Commander, Version 9. "The most popular payware planners are FSBuild, reviewed in 2006 by AVSIM Staff Reviewer Gavin Hendrie, and FlightSim Commander, which I reviewed here in 2006 (version 7.7) and Arjun Murthy reviewed here again in 2009 (version 8.x). Now that version 9 is here, we’re going to have a third look, and see what’s new. I’ll cover four parts: installation and documentation; flight planning; in-flight and post-flight services; and user interface."
"Flight Sim Commander 9 is not the best program for any one thing, but it does more things than any of its rivals, and it does all of them well enough. My advice, if you’re looking for a flight planner, is to download the trial version from the website. It’s free, and you can run it for thirty minutes at a time. After thirty minutes, the program will close, but you can start it up again as many times as you like."

BRAVO 369 Receive Google Inc. Grant
Posted: Monday, February 7, 2011 - 14:15
The BRAVO 369 Flight Foundation announced today that it has received a grant from the Google Inc. Charitable Giving Fund that will be used to support the “Flight for Education” program, the BRAVO 369 Flight Foundation’s mission is to provide full spectrum educational opportunities to schools and the public through a series of interactive aviation projects and to preserve aviation history and historic aircraft.
One such project currently underway is the Flight for Education which will allow students and teachers everywhere to actively participate in a historic flight from Bellingham, Washington to Provideniya, Russia, using the WWII Lend-Lease Air Route. Utilizing a revolutionary new flight simulation interface with a historic 1943 Boeing Stearman open cockpit biplane, the project will bring the magic of flight into the home and classroom, providing an exciting “hands-on” learning environment where students can virtually fly along, having very similar views, in real time, just as if they are in the cockpit.
Jeff Geer, President and Chairman of the BRAVO 369 Flight Foundation, said “We are very excited that Google Inc. has awarded this generous grant. This will allow us to move forward with The Flight for Education as well as further develop the flight simulation interface. Google’s support provides a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to more kids and schools as well as grow our education program.”

Hanoi Noi Bai from Thai Creations
Posted: Saturday, February 5, 2011 - 18:44
Staff reviewer Benjamin van Soldt looks at Thai Creations' Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport. "It is no doubt that Thai Creation’s Hanoi Noi Bai scenery is a hidden gem. The modeling and texturing work together to give you an airport that is beautiful in almost every respect. The performance was good for me, even when taxiing the PMDG 747 around the apron instead of a small Cessna."
"This is a great airport and I hope to see AES support with the next AES release. I recommend this airport to people that like flying around Asia, or who simply want to make a short flight to and from Hong Kong."
6 Airline DVD Documentaries Review
Posted: Saturday, February 5, 2011 - 17:31
These DVDs from JustPlanes/WorldAirRoutes were an absolute pleasure to watch and I think anyone who loves aviation will enjoy them. It is also important to note that a lot of hard work went into creating these DVDs. Negotiation with various airlines can take as long as 2 years! Nonetheless the end result is very well worth it as the team at Just Planes has once again put together a masterpiece of aviation video documentation.

Aerosoft Releases Huey X
Posted: Friday, February 4, 2011 - 2:02
The Bell UH-1 is without a doubt one of the best known helicopters to most people. It was imprinted in our culture by the moving images from the Vietnam War were it changed the face of warfare. And it never left as thousands are still flying in every corner of the world.
Fifty years after it first flew it is still in production and that’s something no other helicopter can claim. The characteristic sound of the two-bladed rotor can be heard over jungles and city centers. Even though it has only one engine it is very reliable and rugged. A workhorse that’s not afraid to get dirty and will fly just as happy with a few pounds more than the manual states it can carry. It’s loved by the pilots and the crew that maintain the old airframes. It’s the Huey.

This top quality package includes the MD-87 - the shortest aircraft in the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 family - in eight international liveries. As with all the other aircraft in their F-Lite range, MD-87 Jetliner is high in detail and a significant step up from the default Flight Simulator aircraft in terms of modelling and cockpit systems, but less demanding to fly than today's most complex procedural simulators.
