Aerosoft brings in 3 new features
The first feature is FDC Live Cockpit! - Flight Deck Companion. FDC Live Cockpit! brings the PC Pilots flight deck to life with full crew audio enhancements and a complete airport ambience including boarding sounds etc. He can choose from 15 different flight deck voice sets and can even add his own voice variations. In addition he can choose cabin crew announcements in many different languages and dialects.
A virtual co-pilot catapults the reality feeling to new heights in flight simulation. Audio checklists with many interactive items underline the professional approach in flying an aircraft. Numerous flight deck calls are based on the aircraft type, weight and speed. The user can hear the captain making flap and gear calls at the correct time to which the virtual co-pilot will respond to and will operate gear and flaps.
Custom aircraft files for all Microsoft default and numerous add-on aircraft are included and a checklist and performance editor will let the user add any aircraft he likes.
Numerous presets are ready for a quick and professional flight. Still the program is fully configurable to fit the needs of each and every aircraft and pilot.
Also included is a Flight Log, Blackbox Log and many, many more items, which will make the Flightsimmer a happy pilot.
The second feature is FSMap - Moving Map with display of active flight plan. FSMap is an application that brings paper charts into the digital age. It consists of two parts that can be used separate or together; the main FSMap program and the FSMap gauge that will be part of your aircraft panel.
The main application is both the ‘map manager’ and a stand-alone Moving Map that can run on the same system or on a separate computer.
* Moving Map mode - When connected to FS (FS2002/FS2004 and FSX are supported) the moving map function of FSMap will show your position on the digital maps in your collection. The moment you get into a location that is covered by another map it will be loaded automatically, for example when you get close to an airport it could load that airport approach chart and when you get close to an ILS it could load the ILS approach chart for that runway, all automatically. All map manipulations are done using very fast routines so even large charts rotate, zoom and move fluently and you can choose from many different view options (north up/track up etc).When not connected to FS it is still a very powerful map viewer with superb manipulation tools and some fine options. For example it can show all traffic and controllers for the online flying community. So you can see where the action is before going online and even at what gate you friend is all the data is presented on top of your own charts in real time.
* Manage Map mode - In this mode you can add, remove and edit maps. Any kind of bitmap file can be imported, from ocean route maps to highly detailed taxi charts and as long as you know the lat/lon of two points on the chart you can calibrate it so it can be used by FSMap. All maps are stored and managed in regions so even if you have hundreds of maps in the system it’s is easy to find the map you need.
* Manage Gauge & Rebuild Navigation Database mode - In these utility modes you can add the FSMap gauge to aircraft panels in a most comfortable way. Using simple drag and drop options you add the gauge to an aircraft panel, assign click zones and even hot keys. Real easy, real fast. As soon as you add new scenery files you can rebuild the database. It will extract al information about airports, runways, navaids from FS so it can be used by the systems.
The Gauge
Installed as part of an aircraft panel this gauge that is based on the well known Garmin GMX 200. This multifunction instrument combines a Moving Map with a Traffic Collision Alert System and the novel SafeTaxi feature.
* Moving Map - The Moving Map can access all the charts you have activated in the FSMap Windows application. Your own position will be shown on the charts and all relevant information (altitude, speed etc) will be shown as well. When a flight plan is loaded the route is shown and the bearing and distance to the next waypoint is given as well. With a single glance you will be able to see if your aircraft is in the correct location.
* Traffic Collision Alert System - The Traffic Collision Alert System checks if there are aircraft too close to your aircraft and alerts you to their presence. When the other aircraft seems to be on a collision course the alert status will be increased and audio warnings will be heard.
* SafeTaxi option - The SafeTaxi option overlays airport diagrams on top of the charts. When you zoom in you will see a detailed chart of the airport you are on. The data for these maps is taken directly from FS so you do not need to have special charts for this.

The third feature is MyTraffic X - Realistic inflight and aircraft ground traffic. This first add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X from Aerosoft creates realistic in-flight and aircraft ground traffic using the exact aircraft and airlines including the customized radio communications on the airports.
My TrafficX generates more than 475.000 daily flights on 7.800 airports worldwide.From general aviation, regional jets, military aircraft, freight services, right up to the intercontinental airliners, My TrafficX brings the FlightSim to life. The AI traffic corresponds to the real life air traffic throughout the world. Take-offs and landings take place with the correct aircraft types and airlines on each airport. ATC will address the aircraft with their correct call signs. Many intercontinental flights are taken from the published schedules of the airlines.
My TrafficX also supports the new features in Flight Simulator X such as the jetways, which dock on to the aircraft, ground vehicles, baggage carts, etc. A total of 154 aircraft types in more than 3.000 liveries are available for the AI traffic display! From a simple single engine aircraft to the Heavies.
No more phantasy airlines in Flight Simulator !
Regional Airliner, such as EMB145, Yak40, DHC8. Fokker50…
Medium range, such as B727, B737, Airbus A321, MD-80, Il62…
Heavies, such as MD-11, B747-400, B777-300, IL-86…
Cargo, such as AN12, AN 124 and C5 Galaxy
The DVD also includes an updated version 4.1 of MyTraffic 2006 for the FS 2004.
What’s new in the Version 5.1 ?
MyTraffic X has been thoroughly overhauled and optimized in this new version for the new possibilities included in Service Pack 1. All included data of the airports and flight plans are now in FSX-format. Numerous aicraft models have been updated to fit the optimized format of the Service Pack 1 for FSX perfectly. A high detailed graphic display combined with very good frame rate can now be achieved. Please note that for using the Traffic Toolbox the FSX Deluxe version is required.
