Coming to us back in the fall as Local Legend VII, the Carenado/Asobo Cessna 195 Businessliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator came alongside the World Update XI: Canada update.

IL-2’s C-47 Skytrain full aircraft review
Most aircraft added to the IL-2 Great Battles Series are fighters, attackers or bombers – combat aircraft. On occasion, however, we’ve had a few more unique entrants to the mix.

A look around Flying Circus’ Western Front 1918 map
Released in late November with Update 5.003 for the IL-2 Great Battles Series, the Western Front 1918 map is one more step towards recreating the original content of Rise of Flight in the upgraded Great Battles simulation engine.

I did that by doing a little flight from Tofino to Courtenay both located on Vancouver Island in the Canadian Province of British Columbia. This is a mini-review of the airplane…
VFR fun machine? The SWS RV-14 full review!
SimWork Studios have made a bit of a name for themselves in the Microsoft Flight Simulator marketplace. Their excellent Kodiak 100 immediately caught my attention and I wrote a review about it not too long ago. That impressed me so much that I also bought their Van’s RV-14 and I’ve put quite a bit of…
