HANG GLIDER SIM DEMO  |
Hangsim, Wilco Publishing's new light aviation simulator, delivers these equilibrium-challenging sensations for the first time ever with a proprietary engine built from scratch to replicate the flight dynamics of hang gliders, paragliders, microlites and sailplanes. While most flight simulators utilize a very simple movement in 3D space to produce the feeling of flight, Hangsim ups the ante by simulating the effects of air currents over photorealistic terrain and then dynamically creating the sounds to match. You get a 360-degree view from the cockpit and a good look at yourself as well as you run alongside your glider at launch time, soar through the air, and shift your weight to steer your craft.

JET FIGHTER 2015 DEMO  |

Microsoft Flight Simulator X (known in the Flight Simulator community also as simply FSX, of which the X is pronounced ten, as in the Roman numeral) is the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator after Flight Simulator 2004. It includes a graphics engine upgrade as well as compatibility with Windows Vista, having been hailed by Microsoft as the most important technological milestone in the series to date. It is the first version in the flight simulator series to be released on DVD-ROM. Flight Simulator X marks the tenth version of the popular line of simulators. It was officially released to the US market on October 17, 2006. According to Microsoft's Web site for the game, a standard edition features everything from navaids to GPS and airways. It also includes 18 planes, 28 detailed cities, and 40 highly detailed airports. The deluxe version features 24 types of aircraft, 38 highly detailed cities, and 45 highly detailed airports. Flight Simulator X was officially unveiled at the 2006 international Consumer Electronics Show as a gaming showcase for Microsoft Windows Vista. Microsoft released screenshots as well as a list of frequently asked questions as a press release on Microsoft Flight Simulator Insider, as well as numerous flight simulator communities. This also included mission-based gameplay with mission specific aircraft as well as an upgraded rendering engine capable of increased detail. Following the Electronic Entertainment Expo in May 2006, Microsoft published new screenshots, videos and an official trailer. The overall reaction by the community was quite positive, and the graphical quality of the simulator has greatly increased. Standard vs. Deluxe Edition In addition, the Deluxe Edition features 24 aircraft compared to 18 in the Standard Edition, 45 high-detail airports compared to 40, 38 high-detail cities compared to 28, and 50+ structured missions compared to 30+. New features Improved graphics including enhanced texture resolution, new Earth model facilitating polar flights, true road data, region-specific textures, 3D animals, star constellations, etc. Also, the scenery textures now line up with the automatically generated (Autogen) buildings. Maximum rendering-engine-supported scenery resolution of 7cm/pixel (not available with default scenery). Improved default airport functionality — appropriate dynamic vehicles, jetways etc. Now featured by default where they exist in reality. Improved and new default aircraft including, for example, an Airbus A321. Default aircraft systems modeling is rather extensively improved, featuring, for example, APU, fire protection, passenger advisory sign switches etc. Improved weather system, including better visibility modeling. Proprietary SimConnectAPI to allow FSUIPC-like access to Flight Simulator functions and variables. The maximum altitude in the game has been increased to 100,000,000 feet (30,000,000 m), as opposed to FS2004's 99,999 feet (30,480 m). FSX's maximum altitude is therefore approximately 2.39 times the diameter of the Earth at the equator. Aircraft In some missions, extra AI aircraft are included but aren't really included in Free Flight. These aircraft include: TBM Avenger ghost planes of Flight 19 - from Lost in the Triangle Missions and rewards Pilots earn Rewards for completing various missions, and reaching specific accomplishments throughout the game, (in 'Free Flight'). Some of the rewards exist as hidden "easter eggs" to be discovered by pilots. Some missions have multiple and hidden rewards, receipt being dependent on performing additional actions. Some hidden rewards include: Earning a postcard for spotting an item of interest. Microsoft released their first expansion pack for Flight Simulator in years, called Flight Simulator X: Acceleration, to the US market on Oct 23, 2007 rated E+10, and released to the Australian market on Nov 1, 2007 rated G. Acceleration introduces new features, including multiplayer air racing, new missions, and three all-new aircraft, the F/A-18A Hornet, EH-101 helicopter and the P-51 Mustang. Unfortunately, in many product reviews, users complained of multiple bugs in the initial release of the pack. One of the bugs, which occurs only in the Standard Edition of Flight Simulator X, is that the Maule Air Orion aircraft used in the mission has missing gauges and other problems, as it is a Deluxe Version-only aircraft. The new scenery enhancements cover Berlin, Istanbul, Cape Canaveral and the Edwards Air Force Base, providing high accuracy both in the underlying photo texture (1m/pix) and in the detail given to the 3D objects. Flight Simulator X: Acceleration takes advantage of Windows Vista as well as DirectX 10 Downloadable content |
