Aerosoft - Airport Anchorage | The FlightSim Store: Boxed Software - X-Plane Add-Ons - Scenery

Our first American airport features in a long row of airports for X-Plane. Anchorage Ted Stevens International (PANC) is the most significant airport in Alaska and destination for many national and international air connections.

Besides Asian and Russian airlines, German “Condor” offers flights from Frankfurt and Swiss “Edelweiß Air” from Zurich to Anchorage during the summer, i.e. between May and September. In the past, the former airline “LTU” temporarily offered the same air connection from Dusseldorf.

On a national level, “Alaska Airlines” plays a predominant part in Anchorage with its numerous Boeing 737s but there are other US airlines as well.

The nearest major US airport in the so called “Lower 48” is Seattle. In addition, PANC is an essential cargo hub for the route Asia – USA. The former “Kulis Air National Guard Base“ at the airport has been moved to Elmendorf AB north from Anchorage, but you can still see the facilities and buildings.

Lake Hood: Right next to PANC and connected via taxiways crossing lots of streets, there´s Lake Hood, the world’s largest seaplane base. In the summer, up to 800 seaplanes take off from here taking fishermen, backpackers and other visitors to all regions of Alaska. Moreover, lots of tour operators are based at Lake Hood.

Z41: Next to Lake Hood you find the gravel runway “Z41” which is used by planes which have the so called tundra kit (special wheels enabling them to land on unpaved runways in the wilderness).

A paradise for flight enthusiasts and pilots! Now finally available for X-Plane 10!

Features:
  • Complete scenery of Anchorage Ted Stevens Airport including all facilities and buildings (International Terminal, National Terminal, cargo areas, maintenance areas, Kulis Air National Guard Base, South Airpark,...)
  • Photorealistic ground textures based on aerial imagery (15cm/pixel)
  • Detailed rendition of Lake Hood (LHD), the world’s largest seaplane base including lots of static aircraft
  • Landing strip Z41
  • Complete taxiway and runway signs
  • Stunning X-Plane 10 night effects
  • Optimized for good frame rate
  • Comprehensive manual in German and English
  • LIDO charts

A2A - Accu-Sim C172 Trainer (Aircraft plus Accu-Sim) | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FSX Add-Ons - Aircraft - Light Aircraft


If any aeroplane ever deserved to be called “classic”, then the venerable and ubiquitous Cessna 172 in all of its many variations surely deserves that title. It is a time-tested benchmark of aircraft efficiency, utility and excellence; it is one of the most recognizable aeroplanes (although sometimes mistaken for its larger and more powerful brother, the Cessna 182/Skylane and vice versa); its value has been and continues to be well-established and constant. The Cessna 172 has endured going- on six decades, and is an undisputedly traditional design. Classic? Q.E.D..

A2A Accu-Sim C172 Trainer FEATURES:
  • Experience one of the world’s most popular trainer airplanes.
  • Designed for both professional commercial pilot training and entertainment.
  • Immersive pre-flight inspection system designed by pilots while operating the actual Cessna 172.
  • A true propeller simulation.
  • Electric starter with accurate cranking power.
  • Dynamic ground physics including both hard pavement and soft grass modeling.
  • Primer-only starts are now possible. Accu-Sim monitors the amount of fuel injected and it’s effectiveness to start and run the engine.
  • Persistent airplane where systems, corrosion, and temperatures are simulated even when the computer is off.
  • Immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A engineered recordings.
  • Complete maintenance hangar internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks.
  • Piston combustion engine modeling. Air comes in, it mixes with fuel and ignites, parts move, heat up, and all work in harmony to produce the wonderful sound of a Lycoming 360 engine. Now the gauges look beneath the skin of your aircraft and show you what Accu-Sim is all about.
  • Authentic Bendix King Avionics stack including the KMA 26 Audio Panel, two KX 155A NAV/COMMS, KR 87 ADF, KT 76C Transponder, KN 62A DME, and KAP 140 Two Axis Autopilot with altitude pre-selection.
  • Three in-sim avionics configurations including no GPS, GPS 295, or the GNS 400. Built-in, automatic support for 3rd party GNS 430 and 530.
  • As with every A2A aircraft, it is gorgeously constructed, inside and out, down to the last rivet.
  • Designed and built to be flown "By The Book."
  • Visual Real-Time Load Manager, with the ability to load fuel, people, and baggage in real-time.
  • Four naturally animated passengers that can sit in any seat including the pilot’s.
  • 3D Lights 'M' (built directly into the model).
  • Pure3D Instrumentation now with natural 3D appearance with exceptional performance.
  • A total audible cockpit and ound engineered by A2A sound professionals.
  • In cockpit pilot's map for handy in-flight navigation.
  • Authentic fuel delivery includes priming and proper mixture behavior. Mixture can be tuned by the book using the EGT or by ear. It’s your choice.
  • All models include A2A specialized materials with authentic metals, plastics, and rubber.
  • Airflow, density and its temperature not only affect the way your aircraft flies, but how the internal systems operate.
  • Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including engine temperatures.
  • Spark plugs can clog and eventually foul if the engine is allowed to idle too low for too long. Throttling up an engine with oil-soaked spark plugs can help clear them out.
  • Overheating can cause scoring of cylinder head walls which could ultimately lead to failure if warnings are ignored and overly abused
  • Engine, airframe, cockpit panel and individual gauges tremble from the combustion engine.
  • Authentic drag from the airframe and flaps
  • System failures, including flaps that can independently jam or break based on the actual forces put upon them. If you deploy your flaps at too high a speed, you could find yourself in a very dangerous situation.
  • Authentic battery. The battery capacity is based on temperature. The major draw comes from engine starting.
  • Oil pressure system is affected by oil viscosity (oil thickness). Oil viscosity is affected by oil temperature. Now when you start the engine, you need to be careful to give the engine time to warm
  • Eight commercial aviation sponsors have supported the project including Phillips 66 Aviation, Champion Aerospace, and Knots2u speed modifications.

Orbx - FTX: NA 65S Bonners Ferry | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Scenery - North America

Go explore Idaho.

Bonners Ferry is located in the northern-most panhandle area of Idaho on a prehistoric lake bed known today as the Kootenai Valley. In 1864, gold discoveries in Canada inspired Walla Walla businessman Edwin L. Bonner to establish a ferry where the Wildhorse Trail crossed the broad Kootenai River. The ferry served as a major crossing point until it was finally replaced with a bridge in 1932, the location retained the name of the original founder and later became officially the town of Bonners Ferry. 65S, Bonners Ferry airport is situated three miles northeast of the city on a bench of land some 400 ft. above the valley floor. With its 4000' runway, 65S can accommodate general aviation aircraft of all sizes including large corporate jets. Bonners Ferry is the hometown of developer Jim Robinson, making this likely the most thoroughly documented Orbx airport ever released!
