All Tweaks & Guides

74S - Anacortes - ORBX

Today I would like to take you to Anacortes - a small town in the state of Washington. We will start at the airport, and then we will go on a trip around the island of Fidalgo to check what else the developer has prepared.

Pedały MFG Crosswind - review (6*)

320 Euro spent on a simulator gadget? Usually, that is hard to justify. Not this time. MFG Crosswind changed my simulation experience more than any other device I have, and that counts for something.

FTX Scotland - ORBX - review (4****)

Scotland. Another piece in ORBX regional puzzle - similar to…

Svalbard-Longyear X - Aerosoft - review (5*)

Trees. I hated the trees in Svalbard - in the default FSX and P3D scenery. Aerosoft cut them out, and that is the reason enough to buy this scenery.

PAGS Gustavus - ORBX - review (5*)

442 inhabitants. And a far greater number of flights each year. Gustavus - a small Alaskan town and its very nice scenery.

Samos – 29Palms – review (5*)

Samos - one of the most challenging airports in the world. The IFR approach puts the pilot high and on a course perpendicular to the runway. Then, it is necessary to maneuver along a mountain slope before coming to a short final to the runway that is just two kilometers long and leaves no room for mistakes.
