Flight One Software, in partnership with Digital Aviation is excited to announce today the immediate availability of Digital Aviation’s Fokker 70-100 Simulation featuring the Fokker 70 and 100 Jet Airliners. This product is simultaneously released for both FSX and FS2004.

This simulation focuses on accuracy in systems simulation with very few system limitations. Due to high demand in Europe (this product has been in long term development there), currently this product is released only with the 2D panel configurations, so therefore we consider this an “Early Adopters” version. There is no Virtual Cockpit in this release, as development over the years has focused highly on the aircraft and flight modeling systems. Also, the FSX version is not compatible with the DX10 preview setting. However, Digital Aviation understands the desire for Virtual Cockpits and DX10 preview compatibility, and they are working on an updated FSX DX10 compatible model now with VC, as well as a VC version for FS9. These would all be a free update to all Early Adopter purchasers should it become available.

All early adopters can get the product now for $49.95 USD. The price will go up to the regular price for any Virtual Cockpit/DX10 compatible version. So if you get the early release, you would not have to pay the higher price later. Also, the FSX and FS9 version can be had at a single price. You can buy one version you get the other for no additional charge.

The MD-11, the world's only modern large, wide-cabin trijet, offers a highly sophisticated flight deck and advanced automatic system controls that substantially reduces pilot workload. In service with customers in all parts of the world, the MD-11 was produced in Long Beach, California, at the Douglas Products Division of the Boeing Commercial Airplanes until February 2001. A worldwide network of subcontractors and suppliers supported the assembly line.

Product comes now for both FSX and FS2004, so you have an option during the installation process to choice the desired version.

The awesome Tornado Air Defence Variant arrives in true state-of-the-art fashion for both FS9 and FSX. Over 12 months in development, the AlphaSim 'Tonka' has it all - spread over 2 separate packages (main and expansion), NINE unique models and NINE unique texture sets provide coverage of the F.3's many guises, even Saudi and Italian AF F.3's are included.

All texture sets are of course very highly detailed and authentic with classic weathering patterns. The Tornado's many moving parts are all taken care of - swing wings, canopy, exhaust nozzles, reverser buckets, automatic blow-in doors and refuelling probe are realistically animated. Random pilot figure animations add extra realism. The sim's tailhook function is used to toggle the remove-before-flight tags, intake/exhaust blanks & chocks. Each model variant has crew with unique flight suits and editable shoulder patches.
