DC-3 Airways and welcome to the DC-3 Airways World Rally 2008, which will begin on the 18th October 2008. After an absence of two years we have returned with a selection of ten interesting and challenging flights from around the world created by Senior VP. Tim Cook. The rally will be spread over thirty days giving each pilot a three day ‘slot’ in which to fly each flight. More details on when each flight may be flown are given in the World Rally Rules. Each flight has been given an individual ‘Start-up’ situation where the departure airport and the weather has been correctly set. This will create an equal situation for everyone.

All you have to do is press Print Screen ”key” on your keyboard, and it will capture and save your screenshots to your chosen autosave directory and format.

McPhat Studios announces that it is working on a new line of exciting
and amazingly detailed aircraft textures for FSX. Using the latest
High- and Ultra High Definition Textures (HDT & UHDT) it is producing
a level of detail never seen before on an commercial jet in Flight
Simulator history. This new technique doubles and sometimes even
quadruples the amount of detail and depth of aircraft textures.
Currently we are working on a selection of kits that include the PMDG
747, Coolsky Super80 Pro, Level-D 767, Captain Sim 757 and of course
the Wilco E-Jet series, that will bring alive the ambiance, colour and
detail of these already great products. Freeware models will follow

A Swiss man has become the first person to fly solo across the English Channel using a single jet-propelled wing.

Yves Rossy landed safely after the 22-mile (35.4 km) flight from Calais to Dover, which had been twice postponed this week because of bad weather.

The former military pilot took less than 10 minutes to complete the crossing and parachute to the ground.

The 49-year-old flew on a plane to more than 8,200ft (2,500m), ignited jets on a wing on his back, and jumped out.

Yves Rossy aimed to reach speeds of 125mph

Mr Rossy had hoped to reach speeds of 125mph.

It felt “great, really great”, said Mr Rossy: “I only have one word, thank you, to all the people who did it with me.”

He said weather conditions on Friday had been perfect and his success signalled “big potential” for people to fly “a little bit like a bird” in the future.

Known as “Fusionman,” he was aiming to follow the route taken by French airman Louis Blériot 99 years ago when he became the first person to fly across the English Channel in a plane.

FSDreamTeam is pleased to announce a new groundbreaking release for MS Flight Simulator: New York J.F.Kennedy International airport. Available for FSX and FS9, with a license valid for use in both simulators. This scenery has been created with great care to be the right compromise between performances and detail, in one of the most densest areas in Flight Simulator. The FSX version marks the beginning of an novel concept in scenery programming: JFK use a powerful scripting engine based on the Python programming language, that allows unlimited flexibility to create animations, custom events and user interaction. Gone forever is the supposed limited flexibility in FSX scenery programming. What can beseen in JFK is just a glimpse into the future. This is the first scenery that starts to use the FSX potential that was still untapped, until today.

The scenery is available in Trial version, and can be freely

A revolution in AI flight planning. AI Flight Planner is a fully-integrated, TTools format-compatible AI flight planning tool for Microsoft Flight Simulator, both FS9 and FSX versions.

The range of functions include:
stock and add-on airport data collection
TTools-format text files or compiled traffic files as source
conversion of FS9 flight plans and traffic files for use with FSX
creation and editing of flight plans in either the custom flight plan leg editor or a plain text editor
subsetting of flight plans by airport (both inclusive and exclusive)
validation of all aspects of flight plans
compilation of flight plan data into flight simulator traffic files.

Among its unique features are:
arrival and departure times may be specified using local times
use of either IATA or ICAO airport designators
ICAO and IATA codes, UTC-offset and positional data for any airport is only a few mouse clicks away
aircraft may be assigned directly from FS9 or FSX aircraft folders
flight plans are created and edited on a per leg basis; using a day-of-week field, similar legs in weekly flight plans need be entered only once.

To avoid wasting valuable FPSs on unnecessary overhead, AI Flight Planner allows you to extract from airline system-wide flight-plan data only those flight plans that visit any of a user-selected list of airports. And, then, if you wish, it will exclude those same airports from default traffic files.

AI Flight Planner does it all!
