Nemerth Designs MD 500 Defender FDE Update Available
Scott a.k.a. nightsta1ker has released FDE update 2 to the Nemerth Designs MD 500 Defender for FSX.
Features:
•Fixed ballooning with full down collective, can now perform quick-stops and steep descents without needing to slow down below ETL.
Descent rates up to 1500 FPM.
•Improved RRPM behavior, can now perform autorotations to the ground in a normal fashion including termination to the ground with zero airspeed,
hovering autorotations are now possible. Descent rates up to 2000 FPM.
•Torque induced yaw effect, pilot needs to apply left pedal to counter torque in the hover. Forward airspeed makes tail rotor more efficient
so right pedal is required at cruise.
•More sensitive control feel. The MD-500 is a very responsive helicopter, I tweaked the sensitivity so that it is more responsive to the touch.
The overall effect is that we now have a brand new helicopter. This thing flies nothing like the default Defender and is much more realistic.
Designed and tested by real helicopter pilots. First release got very good reviews with the HC community,
second release (available above) is even better in my opinion.

Canadian Rockies for X-Plane by Tom Curtis Updated to V1.30
The Canadian Rockies scenery for X-Plane by Tom Curtis has been updated to version 1.30. Available at X-Plane.org.
This update adds 9 new airports to Canadian Rockies plus 2 new airports that are still under construction. (for a total of 80 airports)
Here is a list of the new airports
Dawson Creek: CYDQ - GA/Commercial
Fort St John: CYXJ - GA/Commercial
Kamloops: CYKA - GA/Commercial
Mackenzie: CYZY - GA/Commercial
Ospika: CBA9 - Small GA/SPB
Fort Graham: CBW9 - Small GA/SPB
Ingenica: CAP6 - Small GA Seannell: CR70 - Small GA
Tsay Key Dene: CBN9 - Small GA
Prince George: CYSJ - Under construction
Grand Prairie: CYQU - Under construction
In addition to these new airports this update adds the following new features:
-RealFlag - Adds new flags that flutter in the wind to many of the airports
-I have begun updating the quality of many of the static aircraft located around the airports.
Thes aircraft have highher resolution textures and cast shadows on the ramp.
-I wasn't satisfied with the default textures X-Plane uses in areas that are designated "semi-arid" land class.
It looked too brown for my personal taste so I have included a library file that modifies these textures to make them a little more green.
