This page contains links to all the software which you need to fly with the Club. Some are alternatives, some are not essential, but are either preferable to have installed, or simply useful to make life easier while flying with us. Please read the descriptions to help you decide which software you need and which is preferable or useful.

This page contains links to many useful documents to help members get started, or as a reference for continued flying. For beginners, the Setting-up files will be particularly valuable, and for seasoned members, new files are being added all the time, on different aspects of flying.

There are thousands of aircraft out there for the Flight Sim pilot to try out - many freeware, and a lot of others payware, though the cost is rarely high, and the aircraft usually excellent. The aircraft listed on this page are those for which a Club paint scheme is available. Links are provided to the relevant download sites for the aircraft themselves, whilst the Club paint scheme may be downloaded by clicking on the illustration of the aircraft.

For VFR flight, it is important to know exactly where you are by looking out of the window and correlating what you see with what is on your map. To do this successfully, you need obvious features which you can instantly find on the map - a lake, a railway station etc. The addon scenery created especially for the Club is used in some of our events.

Other addon scenery is valuable simply to increase the realism of your flights. If there is a factory half way between airports, whose very tall and obvious chimney is always even more obviously smoking - it would be good to see this in Flight Simulator.
