In this week's release roundup we're showcasing three new X-Plane 12 add-ons: a new Piper from Just Flight, DreamFoil's Bell 206 and the latest international airport by Globall Art, CYYZ. Click here to head to our shop and find all the latest releases: https://aerosoft.com/en/shop/ Just Flight - PA-28-181 Archer TX/LX Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the PA-28-181 Archer TX/LX for X-Plane 12. Continuing the upgrades to our general aviation fleet for X-Plane 12, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-28-181 Archer TX/LX has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team in parentship with Thranda Design, following comprehensive research with a real-life Archer TX, N752ND. The PA-28-181 Archer TX/LX is a four-seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear, 180hp four-cylinder engine and fixed-pitch propeller. Certified in the mid-1990s, the Archer III was one of the most recent PA28 variants to be built, reflected in its streamlined cowling and cockpit overhead panel controls. The TX/LX is a modernised version of the Archer III, equipped with G1000 and EFD 1000 avionics, and other improvements to both the exterior and interior of the aircraft to compete with the latest generation of GA aircraft. The TX is aimed at the training market and the LX at the private market. The TX/LX is capable of cruising at 118 knots and with a range of nearly 500 miles, it is an ideal aircraft for touring and flight training. DreamFoil - Bell 206 El Maestro is back: DreamFoil, the historic and award-winning helicopter developer for X-Plane, proudly presents the B206 JetRanger, fully configured for X-Plane 12. The Bell 206 is one of the most popular multipurpose helicopters in the world. Widely configurable and with its powerful Allison engine, it can carry up to 4 passengers over 300nm. It is still the helicopter of choice for most sightseeing, news organization and local law enforcement agencies. Globall Art - CYYZ - Toronto Pearson International Toronto Pearson International Airport, officially named Lester B. Pearson International Airport, is an international airport serving the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Greater Toronto Area, and the Golden Horseshoe, an urban agglomeration of 9.2 million people. The airport is located 22.5 km (14.0 mi) northwest of Downtown Toronto, with the bulk of the airport (including the two main terminals) located in the adjacent city of Mississauga, and a small portion of the airfield extending into Etobicoke, Toronto's western district. The airport is named in honour of Toronto-born Lester B. Pearson, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and 14th Prime Minister of Canada. Pearson Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Canada. In 2016, it handled 44,335,198 passengers and 456,536 aircraft movements, making it the world's 32nd-busiest airport by total passenger traffic, 22nd-busiest airport by international passenger traffic, and 15th-busiest airport by flights. Pearson is also the 2nd-busiest airport by international passenger traffic in North America, the busiest being John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

Whether you’re flying General Aviation, airliners, helicopters, or fighter jets, FSRealistic+ includes pre-defined profiles to give you an easy, optimized starting point, so you get realistic immersion right out of the box. FSDG - Cape Verde Sal Amílcar Cabral International Airport (GVAC) is located on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, serving as the country’s main international gateway in the Atlantic Ocean. The airport features a long runway capable of handling heavy long-haul traffic, but strong trade winds and frequent crosswinds make approaches demanding. Surrounded by flat, arid terrain and the open ocean, pilots are often exposed to turbulence and wind shear on final. Clear skies and intense sunlight are common, offering excellent visibility but little margin for complacency during landing. Bem-vindos a Sal – enjoy the challenge! FSDG - Mombasa Moi International Airport (HKMO) serves the coastal city of Mombasa and is Kenya’s main gateway to the Indian Ocean. Generally good weather conditions make operations straightforward, while heat, humidity, and sea breezes can add subtle challenges on approach and departure. From Mombasa, the Seychelles can be reached in around 3 hours, Mayotte in about 2.5 hours, and Réunion in roughly 4 hours of flight time. That means HKMO is not only the perfect complement to our Nairobi scenery and the upcoming Zanzibar Addon, but also an ideal starting point for island-hopping flights across the Indian Ocean. Karibu Mombasa – welcome to the coast! DarkBlue Scenery - RJCC - New Chitose Intl Airport Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, is renowned for its pristine and majestic northern landscapes – snow-capped peaks, vast national parks, hot springs, and serene lakes create breathtaking scenery in every season. In summer, fields of flowers burst into bloom; in winter, powdery snow blankets the land. Each year, it draws countless visitors from around the world and is internationally recognized as a premier ski paradise. New Chitose Airport (RJCC), Japan's 5th largest airport in terms of passenger traffic, serves as Hokkaido's primary international gateway, seamlessly connecting Sapporo with destinations worldwide. As one of the busiest airports in northern Japan, it handles both civil aviation and military operations. Fly into New Chitose Airport, which offers a stunning aerial panorama of this northern wonderland, letting you truly feel Hokkaido's unique charm from the sky. RJCC marks not only the endpoint of a spectacular flight route but also the perfect starting point for exploration. Perhaps your next journey will take you straight to this shining gem of northern Japan!
