Happy Friday you nuts!

Happy Friday my fellow flight Sim nuts! I hope you have an outstanding weekend.

First thing today is Just Flight War bird of WWII.
Fly some of WWII's most famous fighting aircraft. The F-4U Corsair, P-47
Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning, Mosquito and Spitfire join forces in this great value
pack for Flight Simulator X and 2004. There are two variants of each aircraft and
they all come with authentic markings, high quality flight models, state-of-the-art
animations and are re-created to a phenomenal level of detail. Reach for the skies
and enjoy some classic prop aviation!
* The ten high quality models are accompanied by many unique animations and
superb textures covering a range of aircraft, along with the distinctive sounds of
the different engines.
* The cockpits are equipped with the latest "smooth" gauges for more realism
and just about every switch, button and control lever operates with the mouse.
Everything is historically and technically authentic right down to the panel bolts
and brackets.
* The exterior models are finely detailed with correct movement for the flaps,
radiator shutters, rudders, elevators, bomb doors and landing gear.
* Many novel effects are featured, including dropping of ordnance, smoke and
firing guns.
* Read all about it! Extensive printed manual with details of how to get airborne in
each of these beautiful birds.



Another cool thing my bro Todd pointed out to me this week was this contraption.....

The Dreamflyer™ is lightweight and compact, requires no power and virtually no maintenance. The 3' x 6' footprint enables the Dreamflyer™ to easily fit into any room in the house; it can even be stored in a closet. The black powder-coated aluminum frame and sports seat provide a pleasing appearance enabling the Dreamflyer™ to fit into any decor. The sports seat provides a comfortable virtual experience. The patent-pending gimbal inner-frame responds to the actions of the control stick in real time.
Dreamflyer™ captures the motion based on simple gravitational movements of the chair initiated by the user in response to the views on the screen. By using gravitational force to generate motions, the Dreamflyer™ has eliminated the need for hydraulics and motors, and associated costly maintenance.
The unit is shipped unassembled in two boxes. Your shipment will include assembly instructions, product warranty and a User Manual to assist you in configuring the Saitek controls to your preferred settings.
Once assembled you then add your monitor (or monitors if you have purchased the tri-mount bracket assembly) and plug the two USB connectors into your computer.
Depending on your weight and the weight of the monitor(s) that you add, you may need to adjust the offsetting weight adjustment located at the rear of the pilot seat. Instructions are included. You are now ready to play!
The Dreamflyer™ 'basic' unit includes the motion chassis, single-monitor bracket, replica pilot seat, Saitek throttle, control stick and rudder pedals (monitors, software and balancing weights not included).



I seen on simviation that Danny Garnier has made the Coral F-15 flyable in FSX. The Coral F-15 was another of my favorites in FS9 and Im glad to see it ported over so thanks Danney for taking the time to port it over for us!





The other day I had a topic on gauges and other hardware for you flight sim. One of the products I had mentioned was VRInsight product. One of Avsims senior reviewers just posted a review on their products today. You can find the full review at AVSIM.
