Commuter aircraft servicing connections from smaller airports to the big hubs and vice versa and are intensive flying in the real world as well as in the simulator. A famous representative of this aircraft category is the Bombardier (nowadays Mitsubishi) CRJ line of 50 to 100 passengers. Originally developed to replace the more uncomfortable and noisier turboprop range in this class, the beautiful, sleek CRJ airliners were of particular interest to airlines wanting to offer jet feeling on short routes.

Fixed and revised the external lights system and its power sources. Updated behavior of the leading edge flaps and spoilers/speed brakes during all flight phases. Added pitch limit indicators to the PFD. Added fuel and electrical dependencies to APU starting. Updated the wiper system to include independent control and added the cycle time for intermittent settings. Updated some system sounds and added some new sounds for the improvements in this version. Updated caution warning sound. Fixed some manipulators such as vertical speed dial and autopilot disengage. Fixed flaps up command for VREF + 100. FMS Increased the route legs list to 25 pages. Fixed an error where the magenta track was off-center when the ND range was set at less than 2.5 miles. Improved Navigation Display (ND). Improved VNAV and LNAV logic. Fixed throttles when advanced, now if TOGA is pressed, the throttles advance from their present position. Fixed a bug that when STAR was changed, LNAV control was negatively affected. Fixed an error where the magenta track was off-center when the ND range was set at less than 2.5 miles. Fixed error when autopilot changed from FLCH to V/S mode and vice versa. New ND terrain display with automatic terrain detection. Improved holds to be more accurately flown. Fixed airways entering, which was not recognized in some situations. Improved the FD bars to be more accurate during takeoff and before autopilot mode connection. Improved steps as displayed on ND in MAP mode. Added green range arc during the climb. Fixed Index page with LK6 opening an incorrect page. Fixed some STARs that did not appear in the last DEP/ARR pages. Fixed the autopilot not following some SIDs properly.

Originally conceived as an unarmed, fast-bomber, the Mosquito's mission profile broadened substantially during the war. We have focused on the most widely used variant which offered outstanding versatility to carry out virtually any offensive task. Considered by many as the most extraordinary aircraft of the war, this genius design truly is a Wonder in every respect.     Source

New Tempe Airport is situated 10km (6.6 miles) north-northwest from the Bloemfontein City Centre. The airport consists of two asphalt runways as well as two glider strips and taxi/micro-light landing strips next to the main runways. The facility offers hangars and airstrips for light to medium sized aeroplanes, helicopters, micro-lights, gyrocopters, and high-altitude gliders. The airstrip is in uncontrolled airspace and the general flying area is just a five-minute flight to the north. Due to the excellent year-round flying conditions, it is ideal for training purposes. As always, we try to go as close to the real airport as we possibly can. We have also added PBR Texturing to all the buildings! The layout in terms of runway, taxiway and hangars is accurate. AVGAS is available at the airport. All you must do is to part your aircraft next to the refuelling depo on the main apron. The dirt marks on the apron will be a good indicator where to park! Source

It's finally finished after so many months of development. There's a lot of functionality packed into this one flight control unit which means it has no less than 5 input sockets in order to support. Fully articulated land gear lever with hydraulic damping for a great tactile feel Elevator trim wheel Rudder trim wheel Aileron trim wheel Flaps lever with 6 separate detent positions: 0, 10, 20,30, 40 and 50 degrees of flaps. All with adjustable friction and a mounting system to put everything in just the right place As usual it is completely to scale with just minor modifications to dimensions. The only real omission is in the air section as the hot/ram air levers are missing from this version 1. As it is to scale the most striking thing about this control is the size – as you can see below it’s a chunky piece of kit! 1:1 Sync With Real World/Sim Trim Wheel Rotation By combining this flight control with the AuthentiKit tuning app you can achieve perfect synchronisation between the movement of your trim wheel and the movement in sim. For more information about the tuning app see authentikit.org/tuning/ Highly Accurate Source CAD Apart from the air levers it is incredibly accurate, which is all down to the meticulous CAD work of AuthentiKit community member Stiggles who painstakingly created the source CAD for this project from original drawings.

We are pleased to inform you that we have officially started the development of our next major Spanish airport, LEVC Valencia for MSFS 2020. This airport is very special for TDM, it is the city of residence of our project manager and main developer, so you can be sure that it will be a realistic and very detailed airport. At the same time we are also working on the Caracas Venezuela airport - Oscar Machado Zuloaga "SVCS", the biggest and most important private and corporate aviation airport in Venezuela. Our LECO A Coruña airport is already being prepared to be sold in the Aerosoft store and the Simulator Marketplace. As usual we will be updating it as we make important advances. The LEVC and SVCS Airports still do not know where or who will sell them apart from our web site. Source

We are having a lot of fun with Microsoft Flight Simulator while testing the -C variant of the F-35, which has now its first two complete liveries: VF-101 line and NAWDC "Top Gun" (that has recently received its first two jets). There is still some work to do on this variant (tailhook, weapon bays, fuel probe and crew ladder are still missing animation and textures) but it is not far from completion. Since we are speaking about the carrier variant...at the moment we are not planning to include a traditional carrier, reason being that - as far as we know, dynamic carriers are not landable - it is possible to create a static ship (and we did some work on one), but carrier ops from a static ship does not seem acceptable for us at the moment... we hoped that the Top Gun package will fix this. Also, we have been talking with Microsoft (again) to discuss the possibility of adding weapons, even if hidden or as "Easter eggs"...and the answer is no. No weapons whatsoever. We are strongly considering to differentiate the Marketplace and the non-Marketplace versions, with the Markeplace one being "pacifist" and the non-Marketplace having at least AIM-120s, AIM-9s, GBUs and gunpod (we are obviously talking about static weapons). Last, release date and price: we do not have a release date just yet. We are trying to have a reasonably complete test build in these days, but there is still some work in several areas. As for the price, final price has not been set - but it will be in line with our previous offerings: we do not believe that super-expensive add-ons are the best choice for MSFS for this kind of aircraft, and we think that we may be selling more copies with a relatively low price.
