About"The Kitfox Speedster Series 7 by Denny Kitfox is a single engine, 2 seater, amateur built kit plane. The speedster variant of the Kitfox Series 7 line up is much like the Speedster Series 4, but with shorter wings and a faster roll rate compared to other Kitfox aircraft, to increase speed and roll rate." | "Over 4500 kits have been delivered in 42 countries."

AboutAfter a 14 year hiatus Microsoft re-envisioned their flagship IP. A combination of Bing satellite mapping, cloud storage, Azure cloud computing, photogrammetry, atmospheric physics modelling and many other bespoke software technologies have delivered a quantum leap in the flight sim experience. The next decade looks to be the best yet for flight sim fans!

AboutAfter 4 years Microsoft and Asobo decided to recode their flagship sim from the ground up, taking advantage of multi-core CPU’s, delivering higher performance and greater detail. Bearing in mind that during the 1990’s and 2000’s the standard practice was to deliver incremental changes in a new purchase at 2 year intervals. This iteration of the 40 year old flight sim franchise follows the tradition of expanding possibilities and pleasures for the dedicated sim pilot as well as introducing a much wider audience to virtual aviation. As of December 2024, one month after it’s release I have played with the preview and have purchased the sim as a sign of my faith in what this sim will become. Due to personal reasons I haven’t installed it yet and am in no hurry. I have a fairly complex rig and know the new Sim is not ready yet to drive all it's components. That's ok. The future looks great!
