High-Definition Model Of This Popular Airbus Airliner!
Flight Planner, GPS, Moving Map Tool and More for Flight Simulator 2004 and FSX!
he DC-3 was always the aircraft that manufacturers wanted to replace with something better and more modern but the DC-3 performed so well that a viable replacement wasn't easy to produce - hence the saying, “The only aircraft to replace a DC-3 is another DC-3.” This fantastic package features the Douglas DC-3 in seven classic airline liveries, as well as two USAAF C-47 transports and an RAF Dakota. Also included are the AC-47 gunship, which saw service in the Vietnam war, and a fully flyable Waco CG-4A glider! The aircraft exteriors and virtual cockpits are all modelled to the highest level of detail, and civilian passenger cabins and military cargo holds are modelled with appropriate animations - suitably dressed stewardesses and crew vehicles for the airliners, and cargo and troops in the military transports.
lan a flight professionally using entire routes or route segments. Insert North Atlantic Tracks, PACOTs and SIDs and STARs. Save or convert your flight plans in various formats such as FSX, PMDG, Radar Contact, SquawkBox, IVAO or Level-D. Use the Moving Map function to follow your aicraft´s or the AI aircraft movements. The most important new function of Version 9 is the possible connection to Google Earth.

Maldives X
FTX Bundaberg Airport
overing more than 4,000 sqkm the North- and SouthMalè-Atolls are huge but the actual area of usable land is minute, and most holiday infrastructure is actually build on the water. It was also sadly missing in FSX, something one of our best designers solved with Maldives X, The Malè Atolls. Even when the weather outside is dark and grim these islands will bask in glorious sunshine on your screen. As you explore the many islands in a sea plane (or even better, an amphibian like our Twin Otter or Catalina) you will see why this has been such a popular holiday destination for many who could afford it. But do take care, when the weather turns for the worst the lack of navigation stations means you could easily miss an island you were heading for and find yourself lost over the Indian Ocean. Of course you first need to get to the islands and that means serious long distance flight from any of the many airports worldwide that have direct connections to this very strange airport that sits on an island of its own!

he Definitive Bundy. Home to the famous Queensland rum brewed in the township, and the popular Jabiru LSA aircraft, this rendition of YBUD is a feast for the eyes. Featuring licensed ultra crisp digitally sourced aerial imagery at 15cm and 60cm, and gmax poly aprons and runway with superb modeling and texturing by Ian Routley, the many visits to the airport by Orbx developers to source photos will result in an extremely realistic environment. We also include the complete township of Bundaberg with the beautiful Burnett River meandering through canefields and pastures. It's a delightful setting only a short flight from Orbx's YHBA Hervey Bay, and another jewel in the crown for our AU GOLD airports. You will really immerse yourself in this wonderful airport! This is the first airport in the FTX series to feature "PeopleFlow" animation. See passengers and airport staff walking around the Terminal and aprom areas of the airport! Brings FSX to life! FSX
