Ian P, Friday, 27 January 2012 @ 15:28  You may remember a while ago that Airport Enhancement Services developer Oliver Pabst released a test version of a major update to AES, dubbed version 2.20. Now, as a result of that testing and with the faults in it fixed, the update has been released with some new airports supported and one updated, as version 2.21.
Alongside the most obvious visual changes of new models, a number of fixes and improvements have been implemented with AES2.21, but rather than try and list them here, if you want to know exactly what has changed, we suggest that you take a look at the release notes (pdf). The full list of airports now supported is available here and the new version can be downloaded, as well as credits for your new airports purchased, at simMarket, here.
Ian P, Friday, 27 January 2012 @ 11:47  Now available to purchase for MS Flight Simulators 2004 and X is Djerba X from FlightSim Development Group.
An island situated off the coast of Tunisia in North Africa, Djerba is a popular tourist destination and this add-on brings its international airport up to scratch in your sim. FSX users also get complete island scenery and replacement coastlines, while users of both simulators can enjoy the realistic night lighting and custom vegetation amongst other features.

Ian P, Friday, 27 January 2012 @ 11:26  If you prefer your wild horses, or at least aircraft named after them, contained within a box and a bookshelf rather than as a download product then you’ll be interested to know that simMarket is now carrying Aerosoft’s new OV-10 Bronco product in the form of physical media.
The OV-10 Bronco is a unique looking COIN (Counter Insurgency) aircraft, with a reputation for durability and excellent cockpit visibility. To purchase your boxed copy, click here – or if you missed the download version release, that is still available as well, here.
Ian P, Friday, 27 January 2012 @ 10:33  Newly released by Ant’s Aircraft is the Eaglet Light Sport Aircraft or LSA; a small, two-seat high wing monoplane powered by a Rotax 912 engine.
Designed for pilots to fly using the new, lower cost, licensing schemes curently being introduced by many aviation authorities, LSA category aircraft are still much the equal of their older GA counterparts.
Ant’s model features two versions, one with electronic displays and one with “steam” displays, based on real world aircraft currently in use and featuring a new “Realistic Prop Torque Effect”.
