Just In Today: Getting Around on the Ground 3.0 With Airport Simulator

Getting Around on the Ground 3.0 With Airport Simulator

Windows PC (Download Edition)
Don't become a victim or a cause of runway incursions! Are you familiar with the problem of "runway incursions?" Have you ever had a runway incursion? A runway incursion is "Any occurrence at an airport involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that creates a collision hazard or results in a loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, intending to takeoff, landing, or intending to land."

All pilots can agree on one fact: It’s easy to become disoriented, overloaded, or misunderstand communications when operating on the ground. Yet ground operations are one of the most critical phases of any flight. The fact is, runway and airport safety is getting worse. As of December 1, 2011, the number of runway incursions and other ground incidents is rising.

What can you do to help ensure that you won't cause a runway incursion in the future?
What can you do to help prevent being a victim of a runway incursion?
Getting Around On The Ground™ 3.0 With Airport Simulator™ is the only interactive, multimedia tool available that teaches the types of airport markings, signage, and lighting. It also goes beyond simple technical knowledge by outlining hazards, safety tips, and procedures that will help keep you aware, knowledgeable, and safe on the ground.

Now with Airport Simulator™
Learning the theory is one thing. Practicing it is another. That's where Airport Simulator comes in. Airport Simulator is a real-time, 3-D, virtual airport taxi simulator. Get the ATIS, exchange communications with Air Traffic Control, and follow taxi instructions including hold short and runway crossing tasks. The goal is to practice taxiing so as to NOT cause a runway incursion. Two airports and forty challenging taxi scenarios are included. And, there's no need for special hardware such as rudder pedals, because you control your aircraft with just a few keys on your keyboard. It's easy! FAA WINGS credit

Qualify for FAA WINGS credit!
By completing all the content and taking the Final Exam, you can qualify to obtain credit for the FAA WINGS program. The WINGS program is a continuing education program for pilots, sponsored by the FAA. You'll not only learn to be a safer pilot on the airport surface—you'll also be able to prove your commitment to flight safety with your WINGS account. (Aviation Tutorials is a WINGS Training Provider.) Program Specifications

You won't just learn the technical aspects of airport operations, but you'll also learn about specific real-life runway incursion hazards.

3D "Ground-view" Graphics
It's no wonder airports are confusing when taxiing on the ground. Since most aircraft sit low to the ground, it's difficult to visualize one's position. That's why we created 3D graphics that represent how things really look—low to the ground. All graphics feature accurate representations of signs, colors, and markings.

Quizzes
You'll have the chance to test your knowledge after each section. Simple quiz questions are provided in a variety of formats, accompanied by 3D graphics to illustrate the question at hand.

Markings, Signs, and Lighting
You'll learn how to interpret the colors, symbols, and placement of markings, signs, and lighting. Since many airport layouts are rather confusing, such scenarios are illustrated to describe how such markings, signs, and lights are used.

Procedures
Although not a tutorial on communications, Getting Around On The Ground™ does emphasize the importance of proper communication and taxiing technique. The section on Procedures provides an overview of proper ground operations.

Quick Tips
While factual knowledge is a good thing, pilots need real tips and techniques that can help prevent runway incursions. Seventeen Quick Tips are provided, with clear graphics, that you can start using right away.

A2A Simulations - Accu-sim for the WOP3 P-51 (Download) - PC Aviator

Accusim for the A2A Wings of Power 3 P-51.

NOTE: This add-on requires that you have already purchased and installed the Wings of Power 3 P-51 which is available here

The Accu-Sim P-51 Mustang may very well be the most highly anticipated product from A2A to date. Back in 2004, we released a P-51D for Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 that used a flight modeling process known as “Absolute Realism.” A lot of characteristics were being experienced for the first time in flight simulation. If you flew flight simulators, you were used to the old “yank and bank” as most flight simmers held the position that aircraft really didn’t spin. This was largely because, back then, developers were largely programmers, with no flying experience. Even today, while it’s getting more common, it’s still rare to find a developer who actually has even taken the controls of a real aircraft.

Today, A2A has the wind at our back, with Accu-Sim helping to bring serious aviators and simulation together. However, the industry as a whole hasn’t really budged that much as people are discovering that it’s not enough to be a pilot, or even a highly experienced pilot. It takes an entirely different skill set to be able to observe, translate, and re-create the experience. It’s not being a pilot, aeronautical engineer, or even a highly skilled aircraft modeler that makes the difference. It’s the combination of “all the above” with, perhaps most importantly, a relentless drive to re-create the most believable experience possible. Even if you have never flown an aircraft before, you as a living person with an inherently deep sense of what is right or wrong in the physical world you live in. You touch things, see things, and hear things every minute of every day. So trust your instincts, because, if it doesn’t feel or sound right to you, it probably isn’t right. Also, in the real world, actions create lasting results, both good and bad. There are consequences everywhere inside of a cockpit, especially a high performance, propeller-powered, combustion driven aircraft. This is where the persistent aircraft makes all the difference.

In the real world, you don’t get a fresh new aircraft every time you strap yourself into the cockpit. The aircraft is a physical machine that exists in the world. If your aircraft was pulling to the right when you parked it, it will still be pulling when you taxi to the runway the next day. When things happen in a simulated world as you expect in the real world, you start to treat it as if it is just that, real. With lasting results, wrapped inside the newest modeling and advanced material-making techniques, you will have an aircraft that you can spend not just minutes, but hours admiring.. Together, with professionally recorded sounds and physics, the end result is the sense of having a complete, real, majestic, raw, flying machine stuffed inside your computer. And we hope, you don’t just treat it like any aircraft, but rather like “your” aircraft. We hope you enjoy your new beautiful bird, and hope you learn to fly and treat her well.

Welcome to the world of Accu-Sim. Accu-Sim for the Wings of POWER 3 P-51

FEATURES:

A true dual-speed supercharged engine experience.
Feel the exhilaration of flying an Accu-Sim-powered P-51 Muatang.
Mach drag built and tested specifically for the P-51D airframe.
Merlin V-12 liquid cooled V-1650 engine built to manufacturer’s specifications.
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.
Immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A engineered P-51 recordings.
Complete maintenance hangar including landing gear, internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks.
Understand how a high-performance aircraft behaves and see how well you can cope with all of the unexpected things that can happen. No two flights are ever the same.
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 V-12, liquid-cooled racing engine. Now the gauges look beneath the skin of your aircraft and show you what Accu-Sim is all about.
Airflow, density and it's temperature not only affect the way your aircraft flies, but how the internal systems operate.
Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including engine temperatures. Manage temperatures with a radiator flap and proper flying techniques.
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 and smoke.
Overheating can cause scoring of cylinder head walls which could ultimately lead to failure if warnings are ignored and overly abused.
Large engined aircraft like the P-51 like to be in the air, not on the ground. So don't idle for too long, get in the air where the air supply is plentiful
Engine, airframe, cockpit panel and individual gauges tremble from the power of a high-performance combustion engine.
Authentic component drag. Dropping your gear will pull your aircraft realistically as the landing gear is deployed along with cooling flaps, ordnance and even opening the canopy. Drop your gear, deploy your flaps, or just try a dive, and listen to your airframe.
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.
Total audible cockpit made with recordings from the actual aircraft. Before you fly, enjoy clicking everything.
Primer system modeled. Accu-Sim monitors the amount of fuel injected and it's effectiveness to start the engine. Cold mornings require as many as 12 strokes and warm starts may only need a single shot.
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 temp and oil dilution level. Now when you start the engine, you need to be careful and not raise RPM too much until oil temp is high enough to give proper oil pressure. If you raise RPM too high on a cold engine, especially very cold, oil pressure can raise to over 150 psi. Oil pump failure can result. Extended inverted flight (negative g) can uncover the oil sump and reduce oil pressure. Do not fly in a negative g situation for more than 5 seconds.
Oxygen starvation (hypoxia) is modeled. Just take off and climb without oxygen to see.

A2A Simulations - Wings of Power 3 P-51 (Download) - PC Aviator

In April, 1940, when World War II was, for Britain at least, in a kind of holding pattern and waiting to burst forth into the savage fury that would soon engulf the entire world, the British Air Purchasing Commission (BAPC) requested that North American Aviation, Inc. (NAA) build 300 Curtiss P-40s for the R.A.F. Had “Dutch” Kindelberger, NAA’s President agreed to this, what is generally considered to be the greatest piston engine fighter aeroplane ever built would have never been created. Instead, NAA counter offered that they could produce a superior aeroplane to the P-40 and agreed to do it in 120 days.

102 days later the first Mustang airframe was completed, and 47 days after that the first Mustang flew. It went on to serve in every theatre of the War and in every Allied air force. A total of 16,766 were built, making it the most numerous American fighter aircraft. Because of the great care and attention to aerodynamic detail that went into its brilliant design, the Mustang was, from its inception, one of the fastest single-engine piston aeroplanes of the W.W. II era.

The Wings of POWER 3: P-51 FEATURES:

The world’s most iconic WWII fighter aircraft As with every A2A aircraft, it is gorgeously constructed, inside and out, down to the last rivet.

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an all-weather multi-role fighter, derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. The F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft. United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles can be distinguished from other U.S. Eagle variants by darker camouflage and conformal fuel tanks mounted along the engine intakes.

The Strike Eagle has been deployed in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Allied Force and Operation Odyssey Dawn carrying out deep strikes against high-value targets, combat patrols and providing close air support for coalition troops. It has also seen action in later conflicts and has been exported to several countries.

High Performance and Packed with Features!
The Milviz F-15E Strike Eagle model depicted in this package is a highly detailed replica of its real-life counterpart. The model was created by using high quality digital photos and many, many countless hours of testing, revising and testing again! This is, bar none, as close as most of us will ever get to the real thing!

With multiple radar and tracking modes, you can shoot down AI aircraft and, in MP, other MV F-15’s. We are presently working on being able to shoot down other addons and have them be able to shoot us down too.

Tacpack will be added once it’s released.

The aircraft has a max range of 2100 nautical miles, and a top speed of Mach 2.4 so you can travel far and fast with ease.

Outstanding features of this aircraft are:

Realistic startup and shutdowns
Quick start (two clicks, wait for spool up and you're off)

Just Added: MilViz B55 Baron with SP1 Update (Instant Download)

PC Aviator Australia - MilViz B55 Baron (Instant Download)

Now available from PC Aviator Australia is the MilViz B55 Baron via Instant Download!

Military Visualizations is proud to release the Beechcraft Baron 55, a true classic from General Aviation’s past and present.

The Baron 55 was first derived from the Beechcraft Travel Air 95. The Travel Air series itself had an equally long and interesting history as it derived as a twin-engine derivative of the Beech Bonanza, which in turn was the side-by-side seating GA derivation of the T-34 Mentor!
The Baron 55 ended up using the fuselage of the Bonanza and the tail of the Mentor. The B55 went through many updates. The first aircraft was first released in 1961 as the Beech Baron Model 95-55. From there, the follow-on models were given letter designations such as the Model 95-A55, and the Model 95-C55. In fact, the FAA considers the Beech 95 to be so close to the Travel Air that any Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) pilot is required to have a type certificate in either a Travel Air 95 or a Beech Baron 95-55 model!

Ultimately, Beechcraft so fundamentally redesigned the Beech Model 55 that it decided to rename it to the Baron 58. This aircraft is the Baron still in production today.

This MilViz virtual aircraft replicates the Model 95-C55, which was produced starting in 1965 and was the first to use the more powerful Continental IO-520-C engines which produce 285 horsepower at sea level pressure at 2700 RPM’s.

The release package includes your choice of four liveries, a package of six freeware missions, and an integrated menu option to configure the aircraft with two-bladed or three-bladed propellers.
The aircraft has been beta tested by multiple pilots with real world Beech Baron 55 experience and is designed to replicate the crisp and stable flying characteristics of the Baron 55.

The interior virtual cockpit uses a more modern cockpit upgraded as many real world owners will do with an piston twin aircraft that retains excellent performance measures very much on par with 285 horsepower Baron 58’s that cost nearly $1 million fresh off the factory floor!

The MilViz cockpit includes a Garmin GNS-530 and GNS-430, a Garmin audio panel and Garmin Mode-S transponder, and a Bendix-King autopilot. In addition, a few legacy avionics are retained, including a fully working Stormscope that actually does detect lightning present within the virtual FSX environment! In addition, a legacy autopilot has been retained even though it long ago gave up its ghost and forced the owner to spend money for the more modern Bendix-King unit in the radio stack.
By flying the six custom missions, the customer can gain realistic insight into real-world FAA training methods used to train a pilot to earn his FAA Commercial AMEL pilot certificate! The sixth mission challenges the pilot to pass a realistic virtual version of an actual FAA checkride and if passed, will earn the pilot his virtual AMEL pilot’s license.

With the realistic flight modeling, exquisite interior and exterior modeling, plus the quality liveries, this aircraft release can provide the customer with a highly immersive and rewarding experience in FSX. Short of purchasing a real Baron 55, this is as close as you can get to the real experience.

High Performance and Packed with Features!
The Beech Baron 55 model depicted in this package is a highly detailed replica of its real-life counterpart. The model was created by using high quality digital photos and B-55 plans. The aircraft has a max range of 900 nautical miles, and a top speed of 201 knots so you can travel far with ease.

Other outstanding features of this aircraft are:

One VC setup which is customizable using your own gauge sets (2D only)
4 different liveries
High resolution paint kit (coming soon!)
Highly detailed Pilots Operating Handbook: written by a real pilot and includes all performance charts and figures. If you choose to, you can fly by the numbers, or fly as casual as you wish.
High quality sound set
Extremely realistic night lighting, landing lights and custom effects.
Flight dynamics tested and tuned by a real B-55 pilots as well as other pilots. The aircraft flies just like its real world counterpart.
Working Stormscope!
Aircraft features an exterior model manager that enables you to install/remove red gear and chocks (from external view only).
Ability to hide the yoke in 3D VC enabling the pilot to access certain switches normally obscured from view by the yoke.
Several functional opening doors and compartments

Requirements: This product will require FSX SP2 or Acceleration. It is also designed for newer systems. Minimum requirements are 2.6 Core 2 Duo, 512mb Video Card and 300 megs of free disk space. This product will work with Prepar3D but that platform is not supported at the present time.

PC Aviator Australia - MilViz T-38A Jet Trainer (Instant Download)

PC Aviator Australia - MilViz T-38A Jet Trainer (Instant Download)

Milviz T-38A - Jet Trainer for Flight Simulator X - Now available for Instant Download from PC Aviator Australia.
The US Air Force made history when it specified the requirement for a replacement to their T-33 trainer. As often happens in aviation, a design struggling to fill its original role morphs into a swan, envied and treasured as an immortal classic. Northrop Aviation was struggling on the overweight and underpowered N-102 “Fang” light fighter, when the USAF approached with the historic requirement for a supersonic dual trainer. From this a superstar was born, and a five decade long love affair began, with over 50,000 military pilots testifying to the jet’s beauty!
Originally intended to mimic flight characteristics similar to the Century Series fighters such as the F-102, F-104, and F-106, that was killing far too many of their pilots, the T-38A was initially deemed insufficiently demanding! Unlike these Century Series designs, the T-38A featured a very pronounced series of wing buffet sounds and vibrations as the jet came close to stall under any configuration. That faithful communication meant that long after the Century Series fighters were retired, and their surviving pilots breathed a sigh of relief, the T-38 continued in its role as the world’s only supersonic trainer – the love affair going on!
Now you can experience the joy of flying this historic aircraft, complete with the accurate replication of those same buffet sounds and vibrations that many thousands of pilots around the world came to regard as the jet speaking to them. Military Visualizations has spared no effort or expense to tune the flight model to extract every possible element of reality. How realistic is it? Two real-world T-38 pilots have given it their personal seals of approval, devoting hundreds of hours to wring out the design! They didn’t stop until our jet reminded them of fond memories in Air Training Command traffic patterns, flying a jet that would make any pilot green with envy not in that cockpit with them!
Further, the interior cockpit is faithful down to the last switch! Even the translucent gear handle operates and looks like the real thing. If the gear fails to extend normally, simply pull the alternate gear handle just like in the real jet and let gravity do its job!
But, we did not stop there! What good is a great jet without a world to fly it in! With that fact in mind, MilViz created realistic ground support equipment, as well as AI traffic and realistically customized military airbases where the jets in our package were based! You can fly in a world alive around you!
To ensure you are able to extract the most joy possible, we included two flight manuals! One is a quick start for those who just want to “kick the tires and light the fires,” and the other a very comprehensive Pilot’s Operating Handbook, over 240 pages in length, that is nearly a verbatim replication of the real-world T-38A manual. It is complete with actual performance charts, real-world normal and emergency procedures, plus exhaustive descriptions and operations of the cockpit avionics and equipment. It even provides the latest in actual USAF flight tests to help you obtain those picture-perfect landings that all pilots crave for!
We think this is the finest military jet available for FSX and without question the most realistic look, feel, and performance of flying the real aircraft. Climb in and hook up! The sky beckons! High Performance and Packed with Features!
The T-38A model depicted in this package is a highly detailed replica of its real-life counterpart. The model was created by using high quality digital photos and many drawings! The outstanding features of this aircraft are:

A high quality 3D VC -5 different liveries and more in free packs
High resolution paint kit -
Highly detailed Pilots Operating Handbook: 116 pages written by a real pilot and includes all performance charts and figures. If you choose to, you can fly by the numbers, or fly as casual as you wish!
High quality sound set. including startups with two types of huffers and shutdown.
Extremely realistic night lighting, landing lights and custom effects.
Flight dynamics tested and tuned by real T-38A pilots. The aircraft flies just like its real world counterpart!
Aircraft features an exterior model manager that enables you to install/remove the huffers, chocks, and show/hide the pilots (from external view only).
