Featuring:

P-47 Thunderbolt – a memorable mission!
In this, the second of a series, we re-enact a real combat mission as realistically as possible, this time using A2A Simulations’ superlative P-47 Thunderbolt add-on for FSX. The purpose of this article is to recreate the last mission of Lt Col Neel Kearby - an American ace who had already received the Medal of Honor.

X-Plane 9 - A Beginner's Guide
In the third part of this ongoing series on X-Plane 9, Richard Benedikz offers advice on choosing and configuring your flight controls.

Flight Simulator - A Beginner's Guide
In this series we have looked at everything from setting up your computer to run Flight Simulator to filing flight plans, but one topic that we have really only skimmed the surface of is one of the most basic and important elements of flight simulation... sound!

Jet Airliners - A Flight Sim Pilot's Guide
In this issue of our airliner guide, as promised, we continue on our flight from Manchester to Orlando with a discussion on Air Traffic Control procedures from the point of view of a 747-400 pilot.


GA Flight Sim Training

One of the most fascinating subjects in flying is meteorology - the study of weather. After all, flying is all about our motion through the same environment that generates all manner of weather. In this issue of our GA flight sim tutorial, we examine some of the basics that better prepare us for more complex navigation techniques.

Human Element
It happens in the best of hobbies. You start out playing around with something you enjoy doing, whether it be golf, fishing or knitting and at some point in the process, you find yourself being paid for your expertise. This issue's Human Element puts the spotlight on those who make a living from Flight Simulation!

http://i37.tinypic.com/1sbjuc.jpg

The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines power the world’s largest airliner, the Airbus A380.

In February 2001, Rolls-Royce announced the launch of one of the most ambitious engineering programmes in the company’s Civil Aerospace history – to develop the Trent 900 engine to power the Airbus A380, a new and exciting aircraft which would become the largest civil airliner ever built.

The Trent 900 is the 4th member of the Trent family, and holds pride of place as the largest jet engine ever produced by Rolls-Royce. ‘Powering the Whispering Giant’ plots the Trent 900 journey in photographs from concept to design, development, testing, first flight on the A340 flying test bed, flight test on the A380, Route Proving, Service Readiness and Entry into Service in October 2007.

This colourful publication combines the best images from throughout the programme, with descriptions of each major step along the way, to offer the reader a unique insight into one of the most public and most exciting new jet engine programmes ever undertaken.
