Another great review by Rob Scott has been published here at FS Station. This time, Rob takes a look at the beautiful but dangerous Lukla - Mount Everest scenery. If you're getting tired of heavy jetliners landing at big airports, it's time for you to try the short and sloped runway at Lukla and enjoy the beauty of its surroundings!

 Orlando International Airport (MCO) is a major gateway to Florida: over 80,000 passengers use this airport every day. Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure, MCO is easily accessible from all major Florida cities, business centres, attractions, and world-famous beaches, being just 6.5 miles southeast of Orlando. MCO is a designated Space Shuttle emergency landing site. The west-side runways, Runway Complex 18/36, was designed to accommodate B-52 Stratofortress bombers, and due to their proximity to John F. Kennedy Space Center, were an obvious choice for an emergency landing should an attempt to land at KSC fall short.
The Orlando International Airport scenery for FS2004/FSX is currently in development by cloud9. It is modelled based on real ground and in-flight pictures, and features photographic textures; high-detail runways, taxiways and aprons; special effects and awesome night textures. The developer claims there's little FPS impact and that the scenery blends well with its surroundings. Check out a preview screenshot and read more about this scenery at cloud9's website.

Thanks to our reviewer Rob Scott, you may now read the Active Sky 6 (by HiFi Simulations) review here at FS Station!! ActiveSky is a comprehensive weather engine and sky graphics upgrade for MSFS 2004 that allows you to load real-time weather data into the simulator and fly with all the effects present in real life - wake turbulence, vertical air currents, fog and icing. Rob explains how Active Sky works and gives his personal opinion on all aspects of the software. He considers it a "must have", as it greatly enhances the experience and realism of your virtual flights. Read the review and check out the screenshots at our reviews section! |

 Robert Whitwell has just visited the ACES Studios in Redmond and he brought back lots of cool news and screenshots of the upcoming Flight Simulator X! The new release features 24,000 airports, 23 environmental (vegetation) zones, 5 seasons and 5000 real world weather stations ensure that today’s forecast is accurate. Robert adds that "all of their visual map representations during their presentation deliberately showed the world from a non-North American perspective. This was to show that they understand that simmers come from around the globe, not just the US".
Robert also reports that Microsoft added 24 million roads to the simulator, and each features moving traffic. "Flying low level across open space in Africa, Europe, North America or anywhere for that matter will be a visual treat as wildlife roams freely in their natural habitat. Herds of elephants were seen migrating across the African wilderness during one flyover". Baggage carts, fuel trucks and moving jetways are finally present at the airports!
You can read the full preview and see some great FS9/FSX comparison screenshots at Robert Whitwell's website. Another official trailer has also been released... this one is a must see!!
