Simón Bolívar International Airport of Maiquetia, ICAO: SVMI is an international airport located in Maiquetia, Venezuela which is about 13kms from Caracas. It is the busiest international airport in the country with two runways; 10/28 @ 11,438ft and 09/27 @ 9,930ft. As a point of interest both runways are sloped but runway 09/27’s slope is quite noticeable having a difference in elevation of 129ft. In 2011 just under 10 million passengers passed through the airport’s facilities.

In order to make compatible to FSX some of your FS2004 addons, you may use Addon Converter X.
This FlightSim Tools plugin exists in version 1.07 as the latest, to be compatible with Flight1′s Airport Studio and bring a better stability on some PCs running Windows 7.
If you’re already a regular user of FS Captain tool, this shouldn’t be considered as fresh news at all.
This update has been available for weeks already, it’s better an opportunity to bring some more light on this career and passengers rating solution.
In its last version 1.3.1, FSCaptain can “review or add winds aloft data in detail”, “cancel or divert a flight”, “plan multi-legs flight”, and even other new features implemented and bugs fixed.
Nemeth Designs and MilViz have released their latest model, the Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopter, through simMarket.
The Chinook is, without doubt, an aviation icon. Developed in the early 1960s, the twin-rotor workhorse has seen action in many military roles around the entire globe, has flown as a heliliner, done logging duties, search and rescue… There’s actually very little that the aircraft has not done over the years and often in situations where a single-rotor aircraft could not have operated.
The Nemeth Designs aircraft requires FSX plus the Acceleration add-on pack to function and represents the “D” model of the aircraft. It is fitted with an interactive VC that includes a working AFCS (automatic flight control system) and a Sonic Solutions sound set. For full details and to purchase, click here.
It’s worth putting up that video again, we think, to advertise the addition of Shovsoft’s “Lunar Flight” to simMarket’s catalogue.
If you’re after a break from the norm, a trip to the moon might be just the ticket and Lunar Flight gives you the opportunity to try your hand in a fictionalised, but fun, lunar lander module as you fly cargo, survey and recovery missions in a graphically wonderful environment with authentic Newtonian physics.
Also featuring the ability to purchase upgrades for your lander using mission based income and ‘time trial’ tests of piloting skill, the sim can be found here.
In honour of the developer’s birthday, JRollon‘s award-winning CRJ-200 airliner for X-Plane is on half price sale until 20th May 2012.
The little Canadian jet is in use around the world as a short-haul commuter or feeder aircraft and JRollon’s version for XP9.55+ (some features require XP10) includes a functional cockpit, FMS and numerous upgrades over ‘base spec’ X-Plane models. Check it out here.
This review is on a product that’s been out since early 2008 and now that we are getting our PC’s to a point where it can handle FSX it’s worth looking at again. First, it comes with good versions for FS9 and FSX. Second, this is an impressive airport to ...
When I say “Dangerous approach”, what airport do you think of? I personally think of Kai Tak, in Hong Kong. That must be one of the most well known approaches in the world. It’s not hard to understand why, either. A fully loaded Boeing 747, turning at a slow speed, ...

VRS have created a superb tactical multi-role fighter aircraft for FSX, building on their FS2004 model and in their word, supercharged the FS9 version with updated graphics. Â It certainly shows, visually the VRS F/A18-E is an absolutely beautiful creation.
Once you get beyond the learning curve, and have read the 350++ ...
This is a very nice piece of software that replaces all of the ground vehicles in FSX and replaces them with new 3-D models. At present the vehicles only work in airports in Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark and are partly animated (FSX SDK allowing). They are also visible at ...
