Official Canberra Airport Trailer from Orbx

A nicely done and atmospheric trailer from Orbx showcasing the incredible new scenery released last week of Canberra Airport.

LatinVFR Honduras Scenery

A difficult landing in CaptainSims 757 landing at Toncontin Airport, some excellent scenery recently released from LatinVFR. This scenery has been given some excellent reviews and is worth checking out.

Bush Pilots - Freeware Scenery

A nice FSX video showcasing freeware scenery of Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. There is some really good quality freeware scenery out there on the web if you know where to find it (or if you can google;)

Some Very Cool Ice Pilots

This video shows some clips from Just Planes latest release on Buffalo Airways C-46 and DC-4's which they operate in Northern Canada. What can I say? What these guys do on a daily basis is amazing. Check out at 6:40 in the video where they are at a small airstrip in and they have an engine failure and have to take-off with just 3 engines instead of 4 and fly back like that. My goodness! Enjoy.

Canberra International Airport Released by Orbx

Another fantastic airport is released by Orbx. This video is a quick tour around the airport and it's surroundings. 50 sq km of ground scenary is provided for you to explore so you won't get bored too easily. Enjoy this great video.

Pacific Fjords from Orbx is comimg -Fantastic Preview

I'm looking foward to this release. It will extend the PNW coverage further north towards Alaska.

Preview of Episode 17 of the Flight Simulator Experience Show

It looks like it'll be another good one from 'Cessn154':

Billy Bob in London - By the way he is a real world pilot

One very funny video

Introducing Captain Sim's Boeing 707 for FSX

'imtheentertainer' has created a nice video showcasing Captain Sim's latest addition to their fleet of FSX aircraft add-ons.

Burning Sky - FSX Videos Just Get Better And Better

Mhimh66 has produced an outstanding video using Orbx's Darrington Scenery for PNW and the Sky-Crane Helicopter from Nemeth Designs.

Great Cop Chase Scene featuring Orbx's Walter Sutton

'marcanthonystorm' has made a very nice video promoting Orbx's latest offering - Walter Sutton's private airfield. Great camera work, great chase scene and great scenery. Brilliant!

FSX Film "Low Pressure" - A Great Video Shot Around Niagra Falls

Some nice visuals and sound effects used in this video.

If you like beautiful scenery, then watch this!

I must admit I was blown away when I watched this video, partially because I took a similar flight near this are in April and also because it is one of my favourite parts of the Pacific Northwest to hike in.

The journey starts in Squamish, about a 40 minute drive from Vancouver and takes you over the Howe Sound and up around Mount Garibaldi, Whistler, Blackcomb Mountain and many more wonderful sights. Watch, watch, watch!!!!!!! This video is in one word - awesome;)

Episode 16 of the Flight Simulator Experience Show

Another great episode from the youtube voice of FSX, Cessna154. Nice work!! Enjoy!

Orbx's new YMML, Melbourne International featuring the Airbus A320 X

Silky smooth framerates are the early reports. It's looking pretty impressive and will be probably released within the next couple of weeks according to the FTX forums. More than likely this will be the most detailed airport realsed for FSX to date. Enjoy!

The Ultimate FSX Rig - What money can buy (if you have lot's of it)

Recently I was asked by a reader of this site what would be the best PC you could buy for running FSX at the moment. This would be it - a combination of the i7 980X and the Nvidia GT 480. This video shows a stressful situation for your computer to handle - KJFK with 100% UT2 traffic using an add-on aircraft.

The Lightning - An FSX Movie Production

An interesting use of FSX to make a short movie

Remembering the Avro Lancaster and her crew

A fantastic memorial video mixing reality with FSX

Courage and Passion from LCDoering on Vimeo.

Final Approach at Manchester Airport - Fantastic HD Quality

Another great super HD video from Ben Kolbeck (blub0g on youtube). Check out these awesome videos. Once again they are amongs the best quality available to watch on the web. Enjoy in all it's HD glory! Nice work.

TUIFLY B737-700 & B737-800 - A Must See

This has to be one of my favourite real world aviation videos. The airport seen at the beginning is Innsbruck Austria and requires a sharp turn following take-off to avoid a pretty large mountain next to the airport. Awesome view from the cockpit. I hope you like it.

A320 Departing Rapid City, South Dakota - FS Experience Show

Another great video from Cessna154 showing an A320 taking off from Rapid City.

Car vs. Airplane Race

Cessna154 responds to a viewers query regarding the van add-on that comes with Traffic X.

Orbx release WA79 - Walter Sutton's for FSX

Check this great video out and be converted if you are not already to the Pacific Northwest and Orbx's new release!!

A New Simulator is Born - DCS A-10C

This looks awesome and it's coming soon along with some other interesting releases such as Storm of War, X-Plane 10 and the next year (hopefully) Microsoft Flight. A new dawn in simming is upon us. Hopefully a DX 11 dawn.

Flight of the Week - Absolutely Incredible Graphics

Here is a video I (the author this site) have made to accompany the 'Flight of the Week' section of this site found either by clicking on the the 'Flight of the Week' tab on the frontpage menu or directly by clicking on this link http://flightsimvideos.blogspot.com/p/flight-of-week.html which will provide you with a flight plan, screenshots and a detailed outline of the flight.

I think that the graphics in this video are particularly impressive, especially the water and sky textures. This is one of my favourite parts of the world to visit or fly in.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. This video is best viewed in 1080p.

FS Dreamteam - Chicago O'Hara to Las Vegas McCarran International

A nice video from 'marcanthonystorm' showcasing a flight from FS Dreamteam's Chicago O'Hara to t Las Vegas McCarran International also using their scenery.

Lancair IV-P Testing by Orbx for their upcoming release

Orbx has released to videos highlighting the detailed testing they have conducted of their upcoming payware aircraft, the Lancair IV-P. The video shows programmer Alexander Metzger taking the Lancair up over the Swiss Alps in order to gain further data to help him program this beauty. For screenshots of the work in progress visit http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=25437.0

Orbx's Pacific Northwest = Absolutely Spectacular

If you own FSX and haven't already been convinced by the orbx videos I've posted then take a look at this one from 'orbxtube'. The scenery is incrdible. The music makes it even more dramatic. I let you in on a little secret. Pick some of your favourite tunes and play then in the background as you fly around PNW. It's awesome....

Great HD Footage from Manchester Airport

'blueb0g' has posted some of the best HD footage I've seen from UK airports. It starts off with a Cathay Pacific 747 taking off followed by several other great clips. Nice!

Episode 14 of the Flight Simulator Experience Show

Another episode of the Flight Sumulator Experience Show from 'Cessna154'. Check it out

Just Flight Addons and Aerosoft Mega Airport Amsterdam Schipol = Wow

A bumber collection of some great add-ons from Just Flight all in KLM liveries. This video also features the impressive Amsterdam Schipol Airport scenery from Aerosoft. Add-ons included:

Just Fight/CLS 747
Just Flight/CLS DC-10
Just Flight/CLS 767
Aerosoft Mega Airport Amsterdam Schiphol
Real Environment Xtreme 2.0 (REX2.0)
Ezdok Camera

A Recommendation for the Posky 747-400 (freeware)

This new video from 'imthententertainer' shows just how good the Posky 747 model and sounds is.....and even better it's freeware. Thats a pretty good deal. The only complaint I ever see people having over the Posky freeware aircraft is how to install them but once you get over that (which is quite easy) it's definitely worth it.

HQ Video of a KLM 747-400 Landing at JFK, New York

A great high quality video showing the approach into the JFK in a KLM 747-400. Great camera work - simple but effective.



and now...the FSX version from 'poppa66':

Questions and Answers regarding Ep.15 of the Flight Simulator Experience Show

'Cessna154' provides a more detailed insight into episode 15 which I posted yesterday on this blog.

Very Scary Real World Take-off from Concrete Municipal by Chris Palmer

One of my favourite airports in FSX is Concrete (Washington State, Pacific Northwest USA) using the scenery add-ons from Orbx for PNW and Concrete Municipal. One of the members from Orbx's forums Chris Palmer in the video below makes an extremely hair-raising take-off from runway 25 at concrete. Let's just say those trees nearly had themselves a trimmin'!

Very Scary Takeoff from Chris Palmer on Vimeo.

As a comparison, I have also included this video from 'gheeD' showing the same take-off (in the Carenado Cessna 185F Skywagon) from the FSX Orbx version of Concrete.

Boeing versus Airbus

'Mhimhi66' is a fantastic producer of FSX videos. Here we see a comparison between Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Which do you prefer. Post your choices below!

The Flight Simulator Experience Show - Episode 15

Another great episode of the 'Flight Simulator Experience Show' from 'cessna154'. This video showcases several aircraft and sceneries and is well worth watching:

Aerosoft's Lisbon Airport featuring the Ariane 737

Another great video from 'ronaldcgriffin' showcasing the Ariane Boeing 737-800 and Aerosoft's Lisbon Airport Scenery. I'm looking foward to the upcoming PMDG release of the 737.

Mt. Everest Freeware Scenery by Frank Dainese

Frank Dainese is an awesome freeware scenery creator for FSX. If you haven't already, make sure you check out his work. His freeware Mt. Everest scenery as you can see below in this video by 'pjvenner' is definitely worth installing.

An old favourite - DX10 without the glitches showing

If only DX10 was this beautiful all the time in FSX. I use it know and again in a sort of love/hate relationship. I just can't stand the glitchy runways. A great video from 'valkyrie321'.

The video that sold me the i7

After seeing this video, there was no going back. Another great from 'ronaldcgriffin'. Fantastic sky/cloud textures from REX.

Awesome Emergency Landing in Las Vegas - Cathay Pacific 747

A well produced video from 'Haransproductions' showing the queen of the skies in an emergency landing at McCarran International, Las Vegas.

This Video Might Give You Motion SIckness

A nice bit of aerobatics from 'petermcleland' in the Chipmunk. Sick bags at the ready. Shows off Real Environment Xtreme really well too! Good work:

KFDW - Dallas/Fort Worth is now available - Billy Bob Reviews it

'Fontaine 32' does it again as he reviews FS Dreamteams fantastic KFDW scenery which is up their ususal high standards. Check out their website - www.fsdreamteam.com for a free demo of all the scenary. It let's you explore the airport for approx. 5 minutues so you can try before you buy, very decent of them.

Carenado's Grand Caravan is released and looking good

Here is a nice demo of Carenado's new Grand Caravan from 'Soya4me'. As always with Carenado the graphics model is very nicely produced. Let's hope the flight model is just as good.

Billy Bob in an Captain Sim 707 Emergency Landing - Hilarious

This video made by 'fontaine32' is another fantastically funny FSX video in the Billy Bob series. Enough reading - just watch:

Introducing the L-39 Albatros from Lotus Simulation

I'm pretty sure the guy who developed this jet used to work from Electronic Arts and boy, does it show! The detail gone into this jet is unreal. It was the first aircraft in FSX to have rain drops on the VC and exterior icing effects which are visible. It flies like the real thing and must be managed with care so as not to experience the incredible number of failures that can occur if you choose to floy foolishly. FSX development at it's best.

PMDG Jetstream 4100 Turbo-Prop - A great bird to fly

One of my favourites of late, the J41 as it is known is a higly complex turboprop from PMDG and and also sports a highly detailed graphics model with icing in the wings and windows, raindrops on the VC and passengers inside. Buy! Buy! Buy!

A320 Landing in Ibiza - Great Scenary from Aerosoft

The Baleric Island add-ons from Aerosoft are some of the best scenert add-ons to date. This video from 'ronaldcgriffin' shows an excellent approach and landing on the island of Ibiza. Also shows the greatness of real environment xtreme as an add-on. You're cleared for landing! Enjoy:

FTX Australia - An introduction

I'm often asked about how my FSX scenery looks so good. One of the reasons is that I frequently use Orbx's scenery in my videos. It completley transforms the world of FSX. This video introduces FTX Australia (be aware that there are many more scenery packages available from Orbx now including coverage of the Pacific Northwest of the USA):

FTX Caloundra - One of my Favourite Sceneries

Another fantastic video from the talented 'Jigsaw407' showcasing the excellent Caloundra scenery produced by Orbx.
Located on Australia's Gold Coast, Caloundra is a superb addition to Orbx's FSX scenery add-ons.

FTX Stark's Twin Oaks Impresses - Wow!!

A great video from 'Jigsaw407' demonstrating the difference that FTX scenery really makes to FSX. Stark's Twinoaks, an airfield located in Oregan, USA can be purchased from www.fullterrain.com. Well worth it! Enjoy:

FTX Brisbane International Airport Air Race - one of the best FSX videos ever

One of the best videos I've ever seen made by 'YBBNdeveloper'demonstrating the recent FTX release of Brisbane International produced using the EZCA Camera add-on.

FTX Concrete = Awesome

Check out a nice landing in one of Orbx's recent releases from 'steve31000'. I highly recommend this scenary. Be aware, to get the most out of it, you must already own FTX Pacific Northwest Scenary available from www.fullterrain.com

Real Environment Xtreme Overdrive is now available for download for those who own REX 2.0. It is simply unbelievable adding new HD cloud, water and sky textures. A video from 'loko1701' demonstrating this:

Aerosoft Airbus X is released!!!

Finally the wait is over A video from 'yutasknight' showing the bus off in all her glory.
