G.E. (Google Earth) Flight Simulator Version 0.71 Update
Free G.E. (Google Earth) Flight Simulator has been updated to version 0.71. More information at G.E. Flight Simulator.
Changes in version 0.71:
- Reverse: the A380 and MD11 are now equipped with thrust reversal. Keep pressing '-' or 'PageDown' to engage reverse. Hit '0' to reset thrust to neutral.
- Stall alarm: a screen overlay will warn you when you enter stall on every aircraft
- Dynamic air density: lift, drag and engine performance are degraded with increasing altitude. Maximum airspeed will increase as air density decreases. Service ceiling, cruise speed at altitude and rate of climb should respect aircraft specifications but has to be tested more extensively.
- All four runways are used as default starting point so to spread traffic a bit. (runways are randomly picked for the first visit on GEFS)
- Aircraft model packages are optimized to load faster.
- Su35 flight model has been revised to be a bit more gentle and forgiving.
- A380 3D model has been improved.
