Flightdeck Solutions, Ltd (FDS) announced today that Sim-Avionics, suppliers of premier Avionics Software packages for the B777, B737NG and B747, will be joining the FDS Team.

This strategic move allows FDS and SIM-Avionics to combine resources, knowledge and strategic planning in the further development of Higher Fidelity FBPTs and related products.

“Sim-Avionics has pushed very hard over the past 6-7 years in developing a solid base product that suits our trainers and individual components very well. We felt strongly that working directly with SIM-AVIONICS our Sales, Marketing and Product Development strengths would bolster their solid efforts in Avionics Software development. We see great things happening with our two teams working on the same path and pushing forward on increasing the fidelity of our respective products” said Peter Cos, President (FDS).

“We at Sim-Avionics are extremely excited to be combining talents with market leader Flightdeck Solutions. This logical step forward, provides us with the opportunity to enhance and streamline our services to both new and existing customers by offering a complete solution with seamless hardware and software integration, improved support and an expanding range of detailed software products” said Mark Hastings.

Air Hauler expands FS2004 or FSX by giving you a mission in your(virtual) life running a freight hauling business. Air Hauler lets you make business decisions, buy aircraft and fly them on assignments. But it's not totally rigid, as you can choose your flights and it's smart enough to include add-on aircraft from your collection. Learn more by reading Gustavo Mercado's complete review here.

Ok This looks like nothing more than a Shaft Collar, BUT... it is a custom made item, with precise thickness, diameter, and  a  lot of unique features nobody but me can appreciate. Why? because even if I have the plan well mapped, I do not have the tools and even worse , I would never be able to make it to such exacting standards .
Here is my point.
Wherever you are in the world, you can locate one of these endangered species, ie:
The Local Welding Machine Shop.
These guys have been around for decades and usually are "close to closing shop". Pretty sure you have seen them somewhere, skullcap, dark blue overalls, welding goggles on the forehead, against a background of incredible dusty machinery, big huge, outdated, solid as a mountain, greasy, darkish... press drill, sheet metal bender, lathe, etc, and all this machinery that probably used to cost zillions of dollars when new is now basically only worth its weight.
But they know how to operate it and, with a cigarette butt hanging from the right corner of their grin, they will tell you : "Of course I can do it"...whatever the odd request is.
I know, now we have CAD, laser, CNC, and these do wonders (wink, wink, Gwyn, my flaps gate).
They serve another purpose.
But, as a tribute to all this knowledge that is going to disappear, please Guys, instead of trying to replicate things for your Pit out of MDF or other convenient but inappropriate material, go to these Machine Shop wizards, you may be surprised by the kind of enthusiasm they will show for your project if you explain the details of it and your passion for it.
Find these guys...they will make gear, shafts, rudder pedals, brackets, name it, they can weld aluminum, steel, etc....and they may even suggest a better way to do things...Go..

AirNav Systems is the market leader for Flight Tracking Software owning the world's biggest flight position real-time database MyTraffic, awarded for the third time as best AI traffic add on for the Microsoft Flight Simulator by more than 9000 voters of the Simflight award, brings the most complete, yet working and frame rate friendly AI traffic into your flight simulator.

These two best of the best now came together to develop FS Live Traffic - now with it's latest version, FS  Live Traffic 3.
                                       
What is it about? No longer your traffic will follow the published    schedules of airlines, as first generation AI traffic products did, or optimized schedules for the Microsoft Flight Simulator world - now you will jump into the traffic as it is in real world - your simulation will initiate one minute before you fire up Microsoft Flight Simulator.
                                       
Every canceled flight, every delay, every extra flight will show up, live instead of records. Sounds complicated? Not at all. You just start a small program that fetches all North American flight data from AirNav Systems servers and starts a converter that creates a traffic scenery file - once this is done you start Microsoft Flight Simulator. No longer you waste your time with optimizing traffic - you are Live.
