NOW UPDATED!

The Flying Club has now been updated to be better than ever! Now supplied on DVD, we have ripped out the existing radios and installed authentic avionics which are the same as those featured in the real aircraft. Not only that, but all the aircraft have been given various service updates to make them even more authentic and we have increased the total number of aircraft you can fly to 65! These include new liveries as well as aircraft featuring international registrations from France, Germany and the USA as well as the existing UK ones. 

The aircraft are modelled in high-quality detail based on extensive research on the actual real-world aircraft featured in the pack. To make the Flying club a home for you to fly from, also included is accurate scenery of Shoreham airport in Sussex. From here you can explore the south coast of England, fly a circuit around the Isle of Wight or even pop over to France for a baguette or two.

Features include:  

• 4 highly accurate and detailed General Aviation aircraft based on extensive research; PA28-161 Warrior, PA38-112 Tomahawk, C152 and the twin engine PA34-200T Seneca II
• Authentic looking and operating avionics as fitted to the real aircraft
• A total of 65 aircraft to fly
• Four liveries per aircraft type. Each aircraft is available to fly in UK, American, German and French registrations
• Authentic custom sound sets built from the real aircraft sounds in and out
• Highly realistic custom flight models created by an industry leader in this field
• High-quality authentic aircraft textures inside and out giving you that 'real feel'

System operations: Improved and more accurate aircraft systems, numerous small operational improvements for even more accurate and realistic system simulations, such as:

• Electrical system simulation and operation
• Engine indications
• Flap lever and flaps indicator simulations

New liveries and international aircraft registrations added:

• Four liveries based on two different paint schemes
• Four different registrations per aircraft from different countries:United Kingdom, United States, Germany and France. The registrations are authentic according to the aircraft type
• The combination of liveries and registrations makes a total of 16 individual variations of each aircraft (17 for the Tomahawk) model making a massive total of 65 aircraft available to fly
