Thorsten Loth of sim-wings has kindly sent some fresh and first images of their actual project: Fairbanks Airport, Alaska.
As we are told work is progressing steadily, all the building are in place, still missing the window mirroring effects as you will see in the below images. Basically all 3d-Objects like vegetation and vehicles are however still missing. But if you know the localities you will have no trouble recognizing the airport already.
Fairbanks Scenery will first launch in a FSX only version but Thorsten has good news for all FS2004 users: that version will follow suit and will be at no extra cost.
How interesting it is when you have knowledge in code programming, you can reproduce some nice piece of software.

Toulouse Blagniac LFBO, home airport of Airbus Industries in Europe, from where they takeoff for first time. And it’s also an historic place for Sud Aviation Caravelle, Concorde and the first Airbus A320 productions.
Since 2005, the FS2004 scenery of Sim-Wings (Manfred Spatz) hasn’t received update so Aerosoft will be welcome with Toulouse X for FSX, and maybe FS2004. X-Plane 10 and Prepar3D versions are not excluded.

Home cockpit builders seeking to develop custom panels with accurate gauges may be interested in these latest two releases from Flight Illusions.
Modelled after the Collins RMI-30, FI’s GSA-RMI features switchable nav sources on a two-needle RMI gauge, while the GSA-RMI-DME, as the name might suggest, adds two displays to the basic gauge for Distance Measuring Equipment output, where appropriate.
