Ever since Microsoft allowed for developers to start modifying and adding their work to Microsoft's Flight Simulator, people have been craving and working hard to develop better aircraft and better scenery.

Polychop Simulations SA342 Gazelle for DCS

Polychop Simulations SA342 Gazelle for DCS

If you’re like me, a helicopter enthusiast and a child of the 80’s you no doubt have a love for the SA342. The Movie Blue Thunder introduced us to this unique helicopter that had been around since the late 60’s, and helped plant the aviation bug into the hearts of many children. Polychop Simulations has put in a lot of work to bring this pioneering aircraft to DCS.

Review: Cera Sim Bell 212 for FSX

Based on the most charismatic and best known helicopter (the Bell 205), the 212 is one of the most amazing and most used helicopters. The Cera Sim Bell 212 has been released for quite some time and it was somewhat of a bit release at the time it came out. Does it still live up to its fame? Nick Bates decided to find out.
Review: Alabeo R66 for FSX

Review: Alabeo R66 for FSX

The R66 is the first turbine-engine helicopter developed by Robinson and a helicopter a lot of virtual pilots would love to have in their hangars. Alabeo decided to give it a go and presented us with a very good looking machine but, as Nick found out, it's not quite up there with the high standards Alabeo usually presents us. Let's hope there's a patch coming soon to fix the issues found.
Review: Paris - Île de France VFR for FSX and Prepar3D

Review: Paris - Île de France VFR for FSX and Prepar3D

The Île-de-France is a region in north-central France which surrounds the nation’s capital, Paris. It is often called Paris - Île de France and, quite often, people think the expression relates to the city and not the region. France VFR recently released their Paris - Île de France scenery for FSX and Prepar3D. It's astonishing.

Review: ORBX FTX Trees HD for FSX and P3D

Review: ORBX FTX Trees HD for FSX and P3D

If I'd have to mention one of the things that I see most of the time I fly helicopters, that would have to be the ground, as I crash a lot. The second would have to be trees (I also crash against them -- except inside cities; there I usually make huge holes on buildings). Trees are pretty much everywhere and, let's face it, they're not that pretty in FSX and P3D. Especially in FSX. ORBX decided to change that with their FTX Trees HD.
