Just Flight - Flying Club 2 - FSX/FS2004

Flying Club 2 features three of the most popular General Aviation aircraft in the world - the PA28-181 Archer III, the twin-engined Beechcraft Duchess 76 and the R44 helicopter. All the aircraft have authentic and realistic avionics suites and an additional set of colour schemes as well as the default paint schemes.

All the aircraft are modelled in very high detail, based on extensive research on the real-world aircraft featured in the pack.

 For FSX users we have included the ultra-detailed scenery for Denham airfield just to the west of London, so not only can you fly all these aircraft, but you'll also have a new airfield at which to base them!

REAL SCENERY AIRFIELDS DENHAM

Denham is located to the west of London and has been a very well known GA and training airfield for many years.

The airfield has been painstakingly created to the very highest standards by our in-house development team and includes all the major buildings that make Denham instantly recognisable to anybody who has visited it. A wholly new feature in this release is the appearance of snow on the ground during December and January, thanks to unique technology not found in any other product!

From the authentic buildings and realistic textures to the static and AI aircraft and animations, there really is no more faithful rendition of Denham than this one!

Ground features

• Ground textures have all been created from high-resolution aerial photographs.
• Optimised to blend in perfectly with the default FSX terrain and Just Flight's VFR Real Scenery add-ons (or other VFR photo-scenery products).
• Includes the nearby golf course.
• Photorealistic ground textures extend beyond the airfield perimeter to provide an accurate depiction of the airfield surroundings during take-off and landing.
• Spring, summer, autumn and winter variations in ground texture automatically change to match the seasonal changes of the default FSX terrain.
• Unique option to switch to ground snow textures in December and January. (Many third-party airfield add-ons cannot switch to snow textures.)
• Option to switch to a single-season version for complete compatibility with VFR Real Scenery.
• High-resolution (10-metre) terrain mesh for the airfield and immediate surroundings.
• Extensive custom Autogen for the photorealistic areas around the airfield.
• Even the swimming pool behind Biggles Restaurant has ‘real’ water!

Building features

• The high-detail airfield buildings are based on up-to-date research and photographs which accurately represent the current state of the airfield after many recent changes.
• Detailed models of buildings outside the perimeter, but closely associated with the airfield, are also included - the Air Cadets hut, the Biggles Restaurant and even Aunt Mabel’s Cottage!
• Custom night textures for ground and buildings.
• Known Visual Reference Points used by pilots when approaching the airfield, such as Chalfont St. Giles Church and Harefield Hospital, are also modelled.

Additional features

Many extra-high-detail objects to give that extra touch of realism...

• Fuel pumps
• Storage tanks
• Fencing
• Hedging
• Picnic benches
• Antennas
• Step ladders
• Hoists
• Aircraft undergoing maintenance
• Helicopter landing dollies
• Well over 100 static objects
• Cars in the various car parks
• Parked aircraft around the airfield
• Helicopters on the aprons
• Additional custom aircraft traffic to make the airfield as busy as it is in real life
• Additional road traffic

Animations

• People walking around or waving at the aircraft
• Cars and trucks moving on the roads and in the car parks
• Tractors in the surrounding fields
• AI (Artificial Intelligence) aircraft

Special effects

• Flocks of birds fly above the field
• Airfield beacon

Take full control!

You have full control over how many features are displayed, using the Airfield Settings program and the standard FSX scenery settings.

Manual

The manual features a history of the airfield as well as detailed information about the various Settings options.
