A new old aerobatic biplane has hit the streets folks, and your favourite neighbourhood Eagleskinner has taken it upon himself to give this Little plane the once over - and maybe even twice, thrice and more.
Those who know me, know of my love, affection and experience for and with the Christen Eagle freeware plane that was made by Long Island Classics for FS9. As probably one of the maddest, most addicted aerobatic biplane drivers who cares to admit to it, it is a matter of honour that I take to the air in this new plane for FSX, after all. Turn the page and read on.

The F-16 is one of the most known jet fighters in the world. It’s agile, fast and very reliable. Many airforces around the world are equipt with this wonderful flying machine. And soon FSX pilots will be able to take to the virtual skies in the Aerosoft F-16 Fighting Falcon X, which will be available for purchase later today. One of our reviewers, Johan Peeters, has had the, and i quote, honour, to preview this product. As you’ll be able to read in his preview, there is nothing you won’t like about this, even it’s relatively low price shouldn’t keep you from buying it as soon as it’s released.

We are publishing a series of reviews originally written for and published in PC Pilots Ireland Club quarterly ‘PC Pilot’ magazine. We thank their president and friend Terry McGee as well as the reviewer for the opportunity.

This Brussels 2007 Dreamfactory Studio scenery review was written by John Melville and first published in the September 2007 issue of PC Flight Magazine:

Brussels National airport is located to the Northeast of Brussels city just on the edge of the city limits in the district of Zaventem (which gives it its alternative name, strangely enough, of Brussels Zaventem). Not to be confused with that other Brussels Airport, Charleroi, located as near to Brussels as Mullingar is to Dublin but providing not unwelcome competition to the benefit of the consumer. In MS Flight Simulator, it has not been neglected given that an excellent freeware version by Robert Buysen was released for FS2002 and later updated for FS9. Now the authors at Dream Factory Studio (Cornel and Anneka Grigoriu of Gathenburg, Sweden) have released the first ever commercial rendition of Brussels National and I was delighted when Terry asked me to do this review as I have been flying in and out of Brussels for many years and hope to be able to give an objective assessment of the realism and accuracy of this piece of work.

We are publishing a series of reviews originally written for and published in PC Pilots Ireland Club quarterly ‘PC Pilot’ magazine. We thank their president and friend Terry McGee as well as the reviewer for the opportunity.

This FranceVFR’s St Maarten & St. Barth - FS2004 & FSX scenery review was written by George Markham and first published in the December 2007 issue of PC Flight Magazine:

You may recall that I had the pleasure in reviewing Chris Wilkes super massive scenery package “Islands of the West Indies - Complete Series” for FS2004 way back in March, 2006. Fly Tampa’s “St. Maarten Complete” which covered the 3 islands of St. Maarten/St.Martin and St. Barthelemy (also known as St. Barth, St. Barths or St. Barts) and Saba, was reviewed last June for FS2004 by John Melville. In my view, the latter small package, where it related to St. Maarten, was a step up from the earlier, highly acclaimed, Freeware Juliana scenery by Delblond Christian.
