With this airport being well known for its challenging approach to a runway surrounded by mountainous terrain requiring an immediate sharp turn to final, it goes without saying that seeing airliners flying in and out of this airport is an aviation lover’s paradise. In this program we will be following the flight crew of Drukair onboard the A319 and ATR-42 as they fly to destinations such as Kathmandu, Guwahati, Bangkok, Dhaka and Bathpalathang. While I thoroughly enjoyed flying to these destinations, the highlight of this video is by far the takeoffs and landings at Paro. Given the challenges of flying in this region, it was quite impressive to see the level of skill and planning that goes into each flight. The pilots at Drukair are undoubtedly very skilled and their cool and calm demeaning at each step in surely a reassuring sight for the viewers. In addition to the wonderful display of piloting ability, this program also offers the viewers a bit more insight into flying the A319, ATR 42, Bhutan culture and other interesting details about this region. The sights from the cockpit that were captured were stunning to say the least and it was also a very nice gesture on the part of the flight crew to highlight points of interest such as Mt. Everest. Ultimately, this program was a pleasure to look at and it provided an intriguing look at the hard working pilots of Drukair to the benefit of all aviation enthusiasts.

While paying tribute to the amazing MD-83, this program also feature some of the unique destinations flown by DAT. These destinations include Copenhagen, Riga, Montpellier, Stockholm and Venice. From the list of destination features, it’s clear to see that this program has no shortage of scenic views from the cockpit while on takeoff and approach. While the scenery outside of the cockpit was amazing, we can’t forget about the cockpit experience. With numerous cameras mounted throughout the cockpit, viewers will be fully immersed in the cockpit environment while following the actions of the pilots as they fly the aircraft. Other highlights you may find intriguing are the pilot presentations which offer you a unique look at the aircraft and the operations of the airline. Starting off with a cockpit presentation, the Captain takes the viewers around the cockpit while explaining some of the unique feature of the MD-83 and its reliability vs newer aircraft which is unmatched. Following the presentation on the cockpit, you will also be treated to a detailed walk-around inspection of the aircraft with the beautiful lines of this aircraft can be admired from a perspective few have the privilege of enjoying. One of the final highlights I thought was very impressive was the presentation on the airline operations and the privilege had by DAT to fly the FIFA World Cup Trophy around the world. This 8 month contract saw the MD-83 spread its wings around the world thus proving the stunning capabilities of this aircraft. One of the reasons why this presentation was enlightening to me personally, we that I recalled the day that this aircraft flew to my home country of Grenada. Hearing the story behind this journey and how well the MD-83 performed will only cement in our minds how outstanding this aircraft truly is. With the MD-83 sadly being phased out of passenger operations, this program will undoubtedly pay homage to this aircraft and be a fine documentary behind the airline that took this aircraft around the world. If you are a fan of the MD-80 series, this is a must have video that will provide hours of insight into this amazing aircraft and unique Danish airline. Reviewed by: Marlon Carter

Video number 2 recommended by P Edwards 'A2A Connie by Harman Motor Works'. Although the video was first uploaded in December 2016, it remains relevant as the A2A is still an amazing software version of a wonderful aircraft. The video is well produced, narrate and very entertaining. The Constellation is available from the A2A store and is designed for FSX and PREPAR3D From A2A Store; Description So, what is the most beautiful piston engine airliner? Pose this question among two or more aviation enthusiasts and you may be sure that a lively, possibly heated discussion will ensue. However, I would be quite surprised if most, if not all, would ultimately agree that the Lockheed “Constellation” was the most beautiful, graceful if you prefer, or at least among the top two or three. The “Connie,” as it was universally and affectionately called (much to the dismay of Eddie Rickenbacker of WWI fame who, as the owner of Eastern Airlines, thought the name to be too effeminate) was a spectacular and singular aeronautical design from the first rude sketch of “Excalibur” to the last L-1649 “Starliner.” Gathering many firsts and breaking many records in its almost five decades-long useful lifetime, Constellation consistently stands out from her sister airliners both visually and functionally. Sadly, the many luminous stars embodying this “Constellation” were ultimately eclipsed when at their brightest by the urgent, inexorable force of progress which saw the end of the age of the long-distance piston engine airliners and the birth of the big, jet-powered transports. This new era of air-transportation in the U.S. Began on 26 October 1958 when Pan American Airlines (Pan Am) flew a Boeing 707 with 111 passengers from New York to London. Soon, the jet-powered Douglas DC-8, Convair 880 and Sud Aviation “Caravelle” joined the 707 and long-range piston airliners were through. Even so, there are many, this writer among them, who posit that even whilst swifter, no kerosene burning aluminum tube has ever come close to matching Connie’s superb grace and poise. Her story is full of ironies and surprises, of Geniuses, Presidents and Pioneers. You see, there once was this fabulously wealthy, incandescently brilliant, eccentric movie mogul, aviator and airline owner who had an idea for an airplane… – Excerpt from Constellation manual history by Mitchell Glicksman © 2016 Features History comes alive: Experience a timeless legend brought to life inside a simulation. Every aircraft is unique: Don’t expect all gauges to read the same values, just like the real airplane. And each airplane is persistent. Four crew positions: pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, and navigator. Fully modelled and functioning positions constructed with down to the rivet detail. Intelligent crew and responsive passengers: – Your engineer can manage all the systems on the fly, responding to various conditions – Copilot calls out critical info – Navigator observes and posts findings – Flight attendent tirelessly works for both you and the passengers (just like the real world counterparts) Unexpected events possible: Engines along with other systems including heating, air conditioning, and pressurization can be problematic Captain’s Career: Your performance is remembered and can get better, worse, or stay consistent based on your flying abilities and flight management Real time Load Manager: with the ability to load individual passengers, cargo, and fuel or select presets. Custom Navigator’s Map: Zoomable map can be customized to show the desired information Default and Historic Sperry Autopilot: You can select either autopilot in the sim Authentic fuel deliver includes primer only starts: You can start the engines properly by using primer with the mixture in the OFF position. Auto-Mixture: that actually performs as intended. Now you can set for “auto-rich” or “auto-lean” and the aircraft fuel to air ratio will be automatically determined and set by the carburetor based upon various factors such as altitude. Custom Cockpit Systems and Gauges for the ultimate in realism taken far beyond what is available by default. Inertia starters: Start these big beautiful engines by the book using authentic inertia wheel energizing and engagment Feathering props and air starts: Custom physics allows for realistic feathering and air starts without using the starter Deep cockpit lighting: Flood, Flourescent, and gauge lighting modeled Dual speed superchargers: Proper supercharger physics and each engine can independently run in either high or low blower New slip and ball code from the Accu-Sim T-6: Enjoy smooth, custom physics in this critical gauge during turning maneuvers Authentic flight stability: The Connie was known for being a little less stable in pitch than other aircraft, which requires a little more finess and attention Piston combustion engine modeling Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including engine temperatures.

With the Bombardier C Series (now designated the Airbus A220) being the newest mid-sized aircraft on the market, there is no shortage of curiosity on what makes this aircraft special. Throughout this program, we will be examining the operations of the Airbus A220-300 as operated by AirBaltic to destinations such as Riga, Antalya, Keflavik and London Gatwick. Starting off with an introduction to the crew, viewers will be able to see the preparation that takes place prior to the pilots arriving onboard the aircraft. While this segment may seem insignificant, it is perhaps one of the most important aspects of the pilots’ responsibility prior to departure. After completing their paperwork and boarding the aircraft, viewers are able to see for the first time an up-close look at the cockpit displays and the many intuitive features of this aircraft. As far as the highlights of this program is concerned, on our first round trip to Antalya, the most significant highlight was the cockpit presentation. Throughout this presentation, you will be quite impressed by the level of advanced technology packed into this aircraft. From “virtual” electronic circuit breakers to remarkably advanced map displays, this aircraft is a wonderland to those of you who are intrigued by the technical aspects of aviation. During other segments of this programs you will also learn more about our pilots and how they got into the world of aviation and their thoughts on the A220 after flying other types of aircraft for many years. Given the fact that this is a new aircraft, the admiration is also focused on the exterior of the aircraft. In another highlight of this program, you will be able to follow the Captain as he completes a thorough walk-around inspection of the aircraft which allows the viewers to admire the stunning engineering of this aircraft, which I personally find very appealing. The final highlight of this program worth mentioning focuses more on the overall viewing experience. For many years, Just Planes has made a tremendous effort to offer their viewers numerous perspectives through the use of multiple camera angles. This program feature up to 6 cameras and they offer unique views of the cockpit and the amazing scenery outside. At times, certain segments are replayed using different camera to offer the viewers a perspective that only the pilots can enjoy. Ultimately, with over 4 hours of A220 content, if you knew very little about this aircraft before, I can guarantee that you will learn more than you bargained for through this program. Thanks to airlines like AirBaltic, aviation enthusiast can now witness for the first time the excitment of flying the A220 Perhaps in the future it would be nice to see a video that focuses on the Q400!

OnCourse Software are pleased to announce the release of PF3 ATC at its best version 3.8.0, this maintenance/feature update is FREE to all existing users of PF3 V3+. More details available from OnCourse Software Forum . Buildlog Version 3.8.0 • FIXED a problem that could result in ATC going 'quiet' on you if you crossed a sector boundary shortly after being handed off to another control center and before you actually made contact. • FIXED a problem when resuming a flight which resulted in an incorrect altitude being given when checking-in to a new control center. This only seemed to occur if you departed using a SID. • FIXED a problem with Departure frequency clashing with Control center • FIXED a problem with Approach frequency clashing with your destination Tower frequency • FIXED a problem that could occur if AI aircraft were using a runway the user had designated as 'out of use'. In such a scenario PF3 should assign the next closest runway... this was not always the case. • FIXED a problem that could prevent you being handed off to Approach...this would normally be triggered if you were still too high when reaching your last waypoint • FIXED a problem when asking Tower for 'Field Advisories' at your point of departure and you would be given data for your destination • FIXED a problem when running the 'Add a Facility' function. This could be caused if the user had not run makerwys nor rebuilt the PF3 database and would result in the program crashing. • FIXED a problem that could arise when requesting a higher altitude which could cause the 'no speed restriction' call NOT to be made and therefore the user was nagged the entire flight to reduce their speed to 250 knots if they exceeded that speed. • FIXED a problem where Departure could start giving you instructions before you actually checked-in. This would only occur if you were using a VR program • FIXED a problem if you define a flight plan as 'Oceanic' and then hit the'Close' option instead of 'Save' you would lose all your changes but was not given a warning before doing so. • FIXED a problem where Oceanic Procedures did not become 'active' for your flight when you first define them and 'connect' to FS straight after.Next time you used the same flight plan, however, you would be prompted about the existing Oceanic Procedural file and asked if you wished to use
