Free Cover CD
We have an exciting selection of 'goodies' for you on this issue's cover CD.
Demo's - We have not one but three demo's for you: Captain Sim's long-awaited 'Legendary C-130', reviewed on page 18, 'The Spitfire Mk.V Explored - a multimedia resource package, and finally Electronic Flight Bag for FS2004 - a program designed to facilitate a 'paperless' cockpit, providing you with the means to access such important items as PDF approach charts, manuals, checklists, real-time weather, NAV logs and moving map displays.
Patches - These are provided for PMDG's 747-400 'Queen of the Skies', Just Flight's Traffic 2005 and a huge collection for Just Flight's Spitfire.
Movies - We have a special treat for you this issue - a slide show of the first officially released screen shots of Microsoft's Flight Simulator X! If this was not enough, we also have movies for Aerosoft's Mega-Airport Frankfurt, Vox ATC, Just Flight's Concorde, NaturalPoint's TrackIR 4, and the 'Freeware' add-on for Combat Flight Simulator 3 - Over Flanders Fields. As usual, generous developers have helped us to put together another fine selection of Flight Simulator freeware. Turn to page 60 to find out more.

Choosing a new PC for Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Now that Microsoft has announced that the new version of Flight Simulator is to be released later this year, many of you may be thinking of upgrading your PC or even buying a new one.
