There is a really nice bit on Flight and has an exclusive pic of the Cockpit of the Maul. It is begigng to look like a very nice sim of course we nee to see the how the new flight models handel ect but I just have to say WOW they got the effects spot on if of course thay are real in game screen shots.

Good mag this month. I agree the screenies do look very impressive. No word yet on whether you will be able to port any FSX planes/scenery over but as it's a 'ground up' new program I guess not. Sounds as if they are going to make it less intimidating to newcomers by having an 'easy' mode but it can also be a proper sim for the more experienced user which is fair enough.

Back to the mag....The 737 range from iFly looks interesting with it's fully detailed autopilot and FMC. Nice to see a Comet coming soon from Just Flight

The free Just Flight Cessna 152 that comes on the cover disk looks good too. Will also try out the 'crew sounds' program on the disk.

Does anyone who bought this mag this month know where the Cessna 152 is on the CD? Can't find it anywhere!

Me too

Its in the "Logbook files" folder on the CD
jf_fsinsider_c152.exe

I got that C152 a long time ago by download at their site.

It is on the CD - well hidden !

It's a great plane for free. Much nicer sound, panel and flight model than the default 152. Will be flying it a lot.

edit -sorry Mark just saw your post. I had to ask the mag editor in the end!! Funny place to put it but he said it's because of the authors other files or something.

...... I have just found this also appears to be a free download now on the JustFlight website.

The panel is pretty good compared to the real thing (below) although no two seem to be the same!.

It is a great issue with the exception of the stupid mind-fart I had in the Flaming Cliffs 2 "Tips and Tricks" article:



I can't believe I wrote that.

I think I was subliminally rooting for the next DCS module aircraft or something..
