Simón Bolívar International Airport of Maiquetia, ICAO: SVMI is an international airport located in Maiquetia, Venezuela which is about 13kms from Caracas. It is the busiest international airport in the country with two runways; 10/28 @ 11,438ft and 09/27 @ 9,930ft. As a point of interest both runways are sloped but runway 09/27’s slope is quite noticeable having a difference in elevation of 129ft. In 2011 just under 10 million passengers passed through the airport’s facilities.

In order to make compatible to FSX some of your FS2004 addons, you may use Addon Converter X.
This FlightSim Tools plugin exists in version 1.07 as the latest, to be compatible with Flight1′s Airport Studio and bring a better stability on some PCs running Windows 7.
If you’re already a regular user of FS Captain tool, this shouldn’t be considered as fresh news at all.
This update has been available for weeks already, it’s better an opportunity to bring some more light on this career and passengers rating solution.
In its last version 1.3.1, FSCaptain can “review or add winds aloft data in detail”, “cancel or divert a flight”, “plan multi-legs flight”, and even other new features implemented and bugs fixed.
Nemeth Designs and MilViz have released their latest model, the Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopter, through simMarket.
The Chinook is, without doubt, an aviation icon. Developed in the early 1960s, the twin-rotor workhorse has seen action in many military roles around the entire globe, has flown as a heliliner, done logging duties, search and rescue… There’s actually very little that the aircraft has not done over the years and often in situations where a single-rotor aircraft could not have operated.
The Nemeth Designs aircraft requires FSX plus the Acceleration add-on pack to function and represents the “D” model of the aircraft. It is fitted with an interactive VC that includes a working AFCS (automatic flight control system) and a Sonic Solutions sound set. For full details and to purchase, click here.
It’s worth putting up that video again, we think, to advertise the addition of Shovsoft’s “Lunar Flight” to simMarket’s catalogue.
If you’re after a break from the norm, a trip to the moon might be just the ticket and Lunar Flight gives you the opportunity to try your hand in a fictionalised, but fun, lunar lander module as you fly cargo, survey and recovery missions in a graphically wonderful environment with authentic Newtonian physics.
Also featuring the ability to purchase upgrades for your lander using mission based income and ‘time trial’ tests of piloting skill, the sim can be found here.
In honour of the developer’s birthday, JRollon‘s award-winning CRJ-200 airliner for X-Plane is on half price sale until 20th May 2012.
The little Canadian jet is in use around the world as a short-haul commuter or feeder aircraft and JRollon’s version for XP9.55+ (some features require XP10) includes a functional cockpit, FMS and numerous upgrades over ‘base spec’ X-Plane models. Check it out here.
The world of simMarket, (which in case you didn't know is the web shop that actually funds simFlight, so it's kind of important to us), is dominated by add-ons for Microsoft's Flight Simulator series. That's certainly not all it sells, by any means - take a look around it - ...
Menorca or Minorca is located in the Mediterranean Sea. It's name is derived from the Latin Insula Minor, later becoming Minorica which translated means minor island. At just under 700 Sq kms in area and with a population of about 89,000 it is smaller than the neighbouring island of Majorca ...
I do allot of reading and my bookshelf is full again. On top of that I have manuals that I’ve printed from all the freeware and payware add-ons I have, not to mention the piles of arrival, departure, and landing charts, sitting on another shelf. Does this sound like a ...

I have done about 4 scenery reviews now: Aerosoft’s Berlin Tegel, Lisbon, Stockholm Arlanda and Brussels Zaventem. Two of these are rather big, the other two could be classified as medium airports.
When I opted for ...
Outerra made a lot of attention lately, halfway between simulator and pure technological innovation, the concept looks like it contains a wealth of possible future opportunities. Thomas Gasser/simflight.FR asked a few questions:
First of all thanks Brano Kemen for answering my questions, can you briefly explain for everybody what is Outerra ?
What most people recognize behind the Outerra name is the Outerra ...
You can certainly say the Saitek X-52, and the ‘Pro’ version in particular, is one of those very few legendary joysticks (or flight systems, if you prefer that term). Thousands of simmers have one, and that in itself is quite a reference. I’ve had one for over a year now, ...
Feelthere have quite a few titles on the market and have been around the flight sim scene for a number of years now. Tower 2011 is part of their air traffic control suite which includes TRACON and ATCC, and I am reviewing the single-player version with multi-player versions being also ...
Miami International airport, ICAO: KMIA, is located 13 miles northwest of the city of Miami and is the primary airport serving south Florida. The airport originally opened in 1928 and was known as Pan American Field. In 1945 the City of Miami purchased the airfield and it was renamed to ...
I will look at what does a model of a marine vessel have to do within the world of FSX flight simulation and flying. Adding a boat into my hanger full of planes was very new and its probably very unusual these days, but then again most real hangers have ...
This is a very nice piece of software that replaces all of the ground vehicles in FSX and replaces them with new 3-D models. At present the vehicles only work in airports in Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark and are partly animated (FSX SDK allowing). They are also visible at ...
