Precision Manuals Development Group (often abbreviated as PMDG) is a commercial add-on aircraft developer for the Microsoft Flight Simulator, [1] Lockheed Martin Prepar3D, [2] and X-Plane [3] series. The company was founded by Robert S. Randazzo, who stated that his ultimate goal was to develop the software to the point where it could be used ...
In 2010 Lockheed announced that the new product based upon the ESP source code would be called Prepar3D. Lockheed has hired members of the original ACES Studios team to continue development of the product. Most Flight Simulator X addons as well as the default FSX aircraft work in Prepar3D without any adjustment since Prepar3D is kept backward ...
Not being limited to using the default aircraft, add-on planes can be downloaded from many sources for free or purchased, which can then be installed into Microsoft Flight Simulator. The Beechcraft 1900D pictured above, is an add-on aircraft. Similarly, add-on repaints can be added to default aircraft; these repaints are usually downloaded for ...
Two chase aircraft, a Learjet 23 and a Cessna T-37, in formation with a NASA Boeing 747 905 as part of a wing vortex experiment. A chase plane is an aircraft that "chases" a "subject" aircraft, spacecraft or rocket, for the purposes of making real-time observations and taking air-to-air photographs and video of the subject vehicle during flight ...
Falcon 4.0 is an example of such modification; "modders" have created whole new warzones, along with the ability to fly hundreds of different aircraft, as opposed to the single original flyable airframe. One way that users of flight simulation software engage is through the internet.
FlightGear 1.0.0 was noted as being impressive for a game over a decade in the making, with a wide variety of aircraft and features. PC Magazine noted how it is designed to be easy to add new aircraft and scenery. [49] Linux Format reviewed version 2.0 and rated it 8/10. [50]

An RC flight simulator is a computer program that allows pilots of radio-controlled aircraft to practice on a computer, without the risk and expense of damaging a real model. Besides the obvious use of training beginners, they are also used for practising new aerobatics, evaluating a model before buying it, and to allow flight practice when ...
