Flying Club 2 features three of the most popular General Aviation aircraft in the world - the PA28-181 Archer III, the twin-engined Beechcraft Duchess 76 and the R44 helicopter. All the aircraft have authentic and realistic avionics suites and an additional set of colour schemes as well as the default paint schemes.
All the aircraft are modelled in very high detail, based on extensive research on the real-world aircraft featured in the pack.
For FSX users we have included the ultra-detailed scenery for Denham airfield just to the west of London, so not only can you fly all these aircraft, but you'll also have a new airfield at which to base them!
All the aircraft in Flying Club 2 are fully updated to the latest Flight Simulator X SP2 and DX10 preview specifications.
PMDG's award winning development team has taken 9 months to release this faithfully reproduced aircraft! In traditional PMDG style, no effort was spared during this extensive development process and it´s certain the J41 will quickly become a customers favorite for regional turbo prop simulation in Microsoft Flight Simulator X! Release:
The BAe Jetstream 4100 , a classic Turbo-prop Regional Airliner for FSX
The external model has been accurately modeled to the smallest of details and painted using high resolution photo real textures. External objects can be shown/hidden using the Ramp Manager, adding to the realism and immersion - Baggage Cart, Ground Power Unit (GPU), Cones, Covers, stanchion with rope, baggage (in baggage compartments) and passengers (matches the in-cockpit load sheet).
The animated parts on the J41 were carefully researched and faithfully reproduced to match their operation with the actual aircraft. The J41 sports realistically animated gear, gear doors, flaps, spoilers, oil cooler flaps, passenger and cargo doors, AOA indicators and flight deck crew.
Fully Interactive, Dynamic Virtual Cockpit - designed and animated using the same proprietary techniques developed for previous PMDG award-winning product lines, Virtual Cockpit users will truly enjoy the sensation of "being there" when flying this simulator from the fully interactive and animated 3D virtual cockpit.

Features:
Like VFR Generation X, VFR Airfields is comprised of 3 Volumes - the same coverage is provided by each volume of VFR Airfields as the corresponding volume of VFR Generation X.
Volume 2 includes 81 airports/airfieldscolor>, each consisting of (where appropriate):
Detailed 3D models of all significant airport buildings.
Taxiways, aprons and runways that line up with VFR Generation X.
Vegetation and fencing.
Animated jetways (at large airports), airport vehicles, people, road traffic, and birds.
AI (artificially intelligent) general aviation traffic.
100% pure FSX coding for fast frame rates with FSX ground system, allowing reflective, 'wet look' runways.
UK specific airfield details where possible (including UK grass runway markings).
High-resolution photo-real ground textures and terrain. (Including ‘sloping flattens’ that remove the cliff effects associated with default Microsoft FSX airports and provide a seamless fit with VFR Photographic Scenery Generation X.)

VFR Photography Scenery X - Volume 4 Scotland: The Western Isles for FSX Only
It's been a long time coming, but at last the first photographic scenery of Scotland is here! Using the very best aerial photography and terrain data available, VFR Generation X: V4 - Scotland: The Western Isles, is the first volume in a series of five ultra-high definition photographic sceneries, that will ultimately cover the whole of mainland Scotland and outlying islands.
Substituting real aerial photography and terrain data for Microsoft's generic, default scenery, means that the views you see from your virtual cockpit are literally 'real' - you see exactly what the pilots of the survey aircraft saw when they captured the aerial photography.
Explore the UK, go sight-seeing, rehearse flights, practice VFR navigation techniques (using real aeronautical charts), or simply enjoy spectacular views from your virtual cockpit.
VFR Generation X Scotland will add a further 5 volumes of ultra-high definition scenery to the existing series of 3 for England & Wales, allowing you to enjoy unsurpassed detail from Lands End to John O'Groats.
The resolution and accuracy of the data used to create this content makes VFR Generation X the most detailed and accurate flight simulation scenery ever released commercially for Scotland - including those used by civilian and military flight training institutions that costs thousands of times more.
Serving as testament to its realism, VFR Generation X is used by thousands of private pilots across the globe, and by commercial and military pilots from some of the world's most revered flying institutions.

Features:
Ultra-High Definition
Newly acquired for Scotland, Getmapping's photography is the imagery of choice for the world's leading defence contractors and simulation professionals. Thanks to recent advancements in the capabilities of home PCs, we've been able to provide this data as scenery at 60cm/pixel, meaning you can fly at altitudes less than 500ft and still have pin sharp scenery.
Unparalleled Terrain Detail (5m Terrain Mesh)
Using new terrain data from Getmapping's latest aerial surveys, VFR Generation X gives users minute topographic detail that shows every lump and bump in Scotland - all fully correlated to provide the perfect fit with the aerial photography, adding dramatically to the immersion that this sythentic environment provides.
Hand-Edited Custom Night Scenery:
Night-lighting for the Western Isles was painstakingly created by hand for utmost realism. (Whilst night lighting for the Orkneys & Shetlands (Vol. 5) will be created in the same way, the larger mainland volumes may not use this technique.)
Realistic Water Effects:
Like VFR Generation X England & Wales, water bodies in Scotland have been designed to retain the natural water colours shown by the aerial photograhy as far as possible, again adding to the scenery's immersion. In addition, they will provide a moving, reflective surface that will allow float aircraft operations, and will even let you see through to sub-surface features like sand bars and underwater channels.
Enhanced Default Airports:
With help from some of our clever beta testers (Norman, George, and Tony), we're delighted to be able to include re-worked default airport sceneries for the Western Isles, which add more content and ensure that the runways, taxiways, buildings and terrain correlate seamlessly.
