Airbus X
Piaggio Avanti II
High-Definition Model Of This Popular Airbus Airliner!
Fly The Future Of General And Light Commercial Aviation Aircraft Types...
irectly aimed at the user who likes to fly and not to spend too much time on configuration and pre-flight checks but who does not want to compromise on the modelling and features, this aircraft will appeal to a large group of flight simmers.The fully functional Virtual Cockpit puts the user in a fully immersive environment where detailed animations (all with sound effects) and a high level of detailed modelling show the level of details that separate FSX from FS2004. All the displays are detailed and easy to read, even at lower resolutions and show how most A320/A321?s are now leaving the factory. While leaving out the most complex (and least used) functions of the computer systems, the actual operation of the aircraft is highly accurate and as easy and logical as Airbus designs its aircraft. The displays will automatically show you the information you most need at any given moment.
ere is the most highly detailed, accurate rendering of the futuristic Piaggio P180II. Great care has been taken in ensuring that fuselage profiles and general arrangement shapes are true to original. The landing gear operation is highly realistic and detail extends to brake-lines and electrical connections. Landing lights extend and retract and the unique canard forward flap system is authentically modelled and animated. Luggage hatches open and close as does the port engine cover which conceals a fully-modeled turboprop engine complete with big bore exhaust pipe, hydraulic and electrical lines and more. Numerous complex systems and fittings have been modelled in and rendered with texture art that really brings the Virtual Cockpit alive. The FMC is available and allows basic inputs for flight-planning.

"Simply Stunning - A True Masterpiece"
Begin Or Continue Your FTX Experience!
he gateway to Asia and a wonderful tropical destination for your virtual flights into Australia. Grab a copy today of North Queensland's major airport from PC Aviator! The Tropical Gateway. Cairns is a thriving coastal tourist mecca not only for Australians, but tourists from all over the globe. This makes Cairns International Airport very busy in terms of airline traffic, as well as the many tourist operators who run sightseeing flights from the GA and commercial apron. Jarrad Marshall is the developer working his magic on YBCS, with the level of accuracy we've come to expect from him. Not only is the airport represented in enormous detail (using stunning 7cm/pixel ground imagery), the entire city of Cairns including the major hotels, marina, foreshore and other POIs are also modeled on 30cm imagery to create a simply wonderful approach to the airport from the south. Perfectly blended into the popular FTX Australia SP3 DVD package, this airport will be yet another jewel in the expanding Orbx crown.
rbx FTX Pacific Fjords joins the gap between FTX Pacific Northwest and Tongass Fjords X. This is a majestic wilderness region with stunning fjordlands, glaciers, mountain peaks and thousands of quiet inlets and passages. All the airports in the region have been given the FTX upgrade treatment and you'll enjoy some spectacular locations such as Ketchikan, Bella Coola and Stewart. Featuring the same quality ground textures and hand-crafted landclass as Orbx's Pacific Northwest, the region also has super accurate coastlines, rivers, marshes, glaciers and areas of photoreal imagery in certain alpine regions. We've also added in many floatplane bases on ocean and lake shores where they exist in real life. Pacific Fjords now allows you to fly your favourite regional, GA or bush aircraft from south of Portland all the way into Tongass Fjords - a vast area to explore. Add FTX Pacific Fjords to your FTX collection today!
