Release

After only revealing the aircraft a few short weeks ago, Carenado has released their anticipated A42 500 Series for FSX and Prepar3D.

The included aircraft is the ATR 42-500. The aircraft itself saw its maiden flight in 1981 and has since seen over 1800 of the type built. With a typical seating layout for 48 passengers and a maximum range of 716nm, it’s a great aircraft for domestic travel.

The aircraft from Carenado features full PBR textures and materials for Prepar3D V4.4 and above, an updatable database from Navigraph, rea; start-up procedures and sounds recorded from the ATR 42-600. In addition, the aircraft features 4K texturing, realistic behaviour for weight and balance and also detailed night lighting.

Accompanied by a trailer that beautifully shows of all of its gorgeous detail, Flightbeam Studios has released Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The project, announced in June of last year, has finally made its way to our simulators.

Wellington is the third busiest airport in New Zealand, right after Auckland and Christchurch. The airport serves as a hub for Air New Zealand. It also serves a number of other airlines, including Virgin Australia, Singapore Airlines and Qantas, as well as a large number of smaller, regional airlines connecting it to the region. It’s an airport that provides challenges every now and then, due to winds coming in over Cook Strait, the sea in between the North and South Island of New Zealand. It also features a remarkably short runway, which makes it tougher for wide-body aircraft to operate on the airport.

Wellington International Airport will come with a number of features,
