SF260 Aeronautica Militare Repaint

This is a repaint for the Real Air Simulations SIAI-Marchetti SF260 representing no particular plane from the 70° Stormo unit. It is available from the Avsim library.

Tupolev TU-95 Bear

Russia has been flying these huge cold war classics around again and now so can you. Samdim have released both the -95MS and -142M submarine hunter variants so you can go prop crazy in FS2004.

The auto installer includes great exterior modelling and textures, some LOUD sounds and a good quality 2D panel borrowing from the design groups other projects - so even though there is currently no English manual, any soviet sim fan should be at home. Head to the Samdim website to get your copy.

Ansaldo S.V.A 5

The SVA5 was an Italian reconnaissance aircraft in WWI and this model adds to a great line of early aircraft for FS9.

Manuele Villa is a very talented aircraft modeller and his latest work is another masterpiece. The package includes the single seater -5 and the two seater -9 which features a fully animated co-pilot. Quality shines throughout so download it from Avsim now.

Overall I am very pleased, particularly the time spent on the site as most sources seem to cite seconds rather than minutes as the average attention span. The site is currently paying for itself which is good news too =)

AFG Sud Aviation Caravelle III

After several years of very tasty looking previews Allied FS Group have at last released the highly anticipated vintage airliner package. The download really doesn’t dissapoint; it looks, sounds and flies like a complete dream. The textures have a lot of depth, it is frame rate friendly and the panel by Benoit Gaurant (availible in french and english) is a work of art. The documentation and paint kit are both in just as much detail. Take a look at the download list on Avsim to find the package for you.
