On behalf of MisterX6, we’re pleased to inform you that he has released an interesting airport and fully updated ….. KBOS Boston Logan International Airport version 2.01. More or less as usual and comparible with his previous airport releases, KBOS is a highly detailed scenery of Boston Logan International Airport, as well as the city of Boston.

Features:
Detailed and accurate scenery for KBOS – Boston Logan International Airport with animated airport vehicles and ship traffic (using the GroundTraffic plugin). Further on, animated marhshallers and jetways (using SAM), custom ground textures for taxiways and runways and photoscenery for the airport and the surrounding area. And finally, lots of landmarks in Boston, including the Bunker Hill Bridge, Tobin Bridge, Fenway Park, and many more. For this airport, you need MisterX Library 2.0.

This scenery package is for personal, non-commercial use only. Redistributing this scenery or any part of it is prohibited. For further information, please contact me. In respect to the orthoimagery license; USGS-authored or produced data and information are considered to be in the U.S. public domain.

More information about KBOS and being able to download, can be found at our dedicated KBOS information and download page, but keep in mind, only for registered users only!

We’re pleased to inform you on behalf of Alexander Barthel, developer of Little Navmap, that the program has been updated to version 2.6.11. And believe me, this is not just a small update. It comes with a lot of new features. Regarding weather updates; fixed Error downloading or reading wind data issue. And updated adapted URL for winds aloft download to NOAA changes and added atmos as directory. Further on, now suppressing wind and other downloads with log warning message if URLs are empty and new decompression methods to speed up weather and track downloads. Finally, now showing airport weather symbols on higher zoom levels. Avoiding simple line on wind barb which can be confused with low wind.

Related to flight plans Alex made the following changes, additions or fixes; corrected approach identifier in FLP flight plan export and loading for Aerosoft aircraft. And now using ARINC identifier for approaches and ignoring transitions of type VECTOR. Adapted changed keywords in file for CRJ. Problems still appear when loading flight plans into the aircraft. This will be fixed in one of the next updates.

Additionally, added extra entry for Aerosoft MSFS CRJ in multi export to avoid loading issues because of a too long file name and added patch by Slawek Mikula to support loading of Aviamaps flight plans.And last but not least, exporting online network flight plan files from menu now correctly remembers last used folder for each format.

But there’s much more. Check it out at the Little NavMap website.

All together a lot of improvements and worth to update your current 2.6.11. Want to know how it looks like? Have a look at the dedicated Little Navmap screenshots showing the new features. And while checking these updated screenshot, it’s also a good idea to check the program and feel free to download it for free although Alexander always appreciate your donation.

Aerosoft released on March 25th a new AIRAC Cycle 2103 for their NavDataPro.

For operationally significant changes in information, the cycle known as the AIRAC (Aeronautical Information Regulation And Control) cycle is used: revisions are produced every 56 days (double AIRAC cycle) or every 28 days (single AIRAC cycle).

NavDataPro users are now able to download and install the datasets for X-Plane. NavDataPro is our new update service for navigational data used by various simulators. With this service flight sim pilots will always get up-to-date navdata for flight planning and in flight use.

More information can be found at the dedicated Aerosoft web page.

Another Navigraph AIRAC (Aeronautical Information Regulation And Control) period starting on March 25th, 2021. Let’s give some background information about the AIRAC Cycle.

The AIRAC cycle was adopted in 1964 and further improved over the years. Key are the worldwide effective dates with 28 days intervals (e.g. 4 August 2005, 1 September 2005, 29 September 2005, …). Effective days are always on a Thursday. It may look indeed like a long period, 28 days, or even 56, but it should be understood that aeronautical information changes, mostly published through so called AIRAC Amendments.

Back to our Navigraph Cycle 2103, effective from March 25th. By following this link you reach the download section of Navigraph.

Important news ….. Check it out!

On behalf of Steve Baugh a.k.a. Humbug01 (X-Plane.Org user) we’re pleased to inform you that his Howard DGA-15P package version has been updated to version 3.4.

The enclosed X-Plane 11.50 model is of the historic GA aircraft, the Howard DGA-15P. The model began life as a freeware FS98-FSX model shell which I converted to the 3D modelling program, AC3D, and completely overhauled and rebuilt for X-Plane 11 over the last four or five months. Please see the enclosed “credits.txt” file for details.

This update does two things:

1. It updates the flight model of the Howard wheeled version to give power up to 11,500 feet that matches the published data a little more closely than before; and,
2. It puts all the various version 3 files into one .zip file to make it easier to download and install the complete package.
3. If you already have the files from versions 3.0 to 3.3 installed and you’re happy with them, then this update is not really necessary. Otherwise download and install this package and let it over-write all your previous files if you have an earlier version of the Howard. You will find enclosed the floatplane version, one extra livery, a complete paintkit for the wheeled and floatplane versions, and everything you need for the Howard DGA-15P model enclosed. I promise, this will be the last update for a while which can get confusing to keep track of!

All files in this download are released as freeware for the enjoyment of the flightsim community. No commercial use may be made of any part of this project. If you alter any portion of the Howard DGA-15P model or any of its components, please give credit to me as the original author and to jetdoc if you alter the flight model.

This aircraft is released as FREEWARE. No commercial use of these files is permitted, but they may be distributed and changed for non-commercial use as long as credit to the original authors is provided. And a special thanks to Pedrovl on the X-Plane.org forum for help with a fuel pressure problem caused by the three in-line fuel tanks which I never would have figured out myself.

Check it out at our dedicated Steve Baugh “Howard DGA-15P” download page, check out all the included updates and don’t forget to check out these additional screenshots.
