LATEST NEWS . . .

AEROSOFT RELEASES VIDEO TRAILER OF IT'S FRANKFURT SCENERY FOR MSFS . . .
After recently releasing their version of Oslo Gardemoen airport for MSFS, Aerosoft have made public a video trailer showcasing the current development of their new Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) product for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.     This 3-minute video shows the project well advanced, with an amazing level of detail and High Resolution 3D modelling almost everywhere you look.   No release date has been forthcoming but you can see the video HERE . . .

HIFISIM CATCHES EVERYONE OFF GUARD BY RELEASING ACTIVESKY FOR MSFS2020 . . .
Known and used by thousands of Simmers world wide over the years in FS2004, FSX and P3D, the ActiveSky Weather utility add-on has finally arrived for MSFS2020.     Whilst HiFiSim have not published any details about how the utility is able to function outside of the MSFS Weather API, which was a limiting issue for third-part developers, the programme comes with a large set of features including turbulence in clouds, air effects, enhanced cloudscapes and various thunderstorm depictions.     The programme integrates directly with MSFS using a variety of techniques.   Available from several locations for just €23, you can find more details HERE . . . 

MICROSOFT RELEASES CITY UPDATE 6:   SOUTH WEST GERMANY . . .
The latest CITY UPDATE from the Asobo/Microsoft Team is now available, featuring south west Germany.     This update, downloadable from inside the CONTENT MANAGER within MSFS, is one of the largest areas covered, improving a number of big cities in this part of Europe and the update also includes the new hand-crafted airport of Friedrichshafen (EDNY).      This airport has routes within Germany, as well as flights to Amsterdam, London and Palma De Majorca in Spain.    You can view a video trailer showcasing this update HERE . . .

 RAFAEL NUNEZ INTL. AIRPORT by FLY2HIGH - A REVIEW   
 
Having purchased a copy of this wonderful little Airport, located in 
Cartagena, Columbia, I was intrigued to see how good it was and if
the developers have improved their skills.   Whilst I had fun trying to
get the Jetways to function under GSX Pro, which I recently purchased,
this airport turned out to be something of a gem!   Check out the details
of this product HERE . . .
 



 
 


PAU PYRENEES IN FRANCE by FRANCEVFR - A REVIEW   

Another small purchase for me, I wanted to check out this airport since
it's release not so long ago by well known developer, FRANCEVFR.
Nestling in a beautiful region in the mountains in southern France, this
is another gem of an airport, nicely created for MSFS and I plan to
closely check it out.   Product details can be found HERE . . .

 

 
 
 

AND i HAVE JUST PURCHASED - GSX PRO !
 
Yes, I just decided to buy this addon and give it a go!   So I ask you to give me some time to understand
and configure this product, so that my World Tour/Adventure videos can look a bit better.   You can see
my first attempt in the
LANGKAWI LANDING video HERE.   Enjoy!






 

And much later  . . .

As the year progresses, I want to have this website professionally revamped.   Also, I want to see if I can get some VAP AIR Merchandise up and running for you, my supporters, to purchase if you wish.    And of course more reviews and adventure videos from the World Tour as well.
For now, thank you to all my Subscribers and viewers for your kind support.    Lee (virtualairlinepilot)

  I was asked recently during a live flight, about the use of the flight code VAP for my private airline and so I decided to post an ORIGIN page to
  show the research I did to enable me to use this code from the now defunct South American airline that previously used it.    So check out the 
  new 
ORIGIN OF VAP AIR page!       

   Future Developments . . . 

  More Reviews still to come !   
   
  Yes, watch for more reviews and Adventure Flights to come in due course.   Also . . . .
 

  I now have a page on
Facebook  and a new page on Instagram both dedicated to my channel.   Check them out here -

  WELL, WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT THEN . . . . . . ?

 

Hello and welcome to my site.   I have been a home Desktop Virtual Pilot for over

30 years.   Whilst I was once a former beta tester for Microsoft UK, way back in the

day and have been involved with flying full size, home built Flight Simulators as

part of a Team of Virtual Pilots raising money for charity, I now fly airliners across

the world for a small group of Virtual Airlines with dedicated volunteers.   You will

find them listed on my ABOUT ME page.   I have over 14,000 virtual flying hours

and these days, I am getting into video capture and editing.   Flight Simulation lends

itself really well to this kind of thing and so, by way of these pages, I would like to try

and show you what goes on in the virtual flying world and give you a flavour of the Aircraft, the Pilots, the Scenery available for the main Simulation Platforms and to discuss bits and pieces in a regular blog.   As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is now in it's third year, I will also be exploring the limits of the Simulator developed by Asobo Studios and led by the Microsoft Team who created the source of our obsession in the first place!!    This site is a work in progress so please bear with me as I build the site and add content.   Thank you for visiting ....

VAP AIR - My Virtual Airline
Scenery Highlights & Reviews
Hi There!
 ALL ABOUT VIRTUALAIRLINEPILOT . . . .

VirtualAirlinePilot  is a new project to build a Brand and a Private Virtual Airline.   I will  be show-casing video content, Adventure Flights and Reviews about new and current products for Flight Simulator 2020.   I have purchased the Premium Edition  of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and so will be examining and evaluating this product and other related topics that both you and I find interesting too.   As I get used to using my video software (Vegas Movie Studio 20), I will be producing product reviews and flying videos as often as I can.   These videos will feature scenery products, as well as adventure flights featuring some of my more interesting landings and take offs from across the virtual world for my own Airline VAP AIR and the virtual airlines that I also currently fly for.   I also have a very good friend and flying buddy, NEIL WARMAN, who got me into this video thing in the first place and with whom I fly online frequently!   Check out Neil's YouTube Channel VIRTUAL FLIGHT VIDEOS for some great videos and streams!   Videos will be available on my YouTube Channel with notifications and links to those videos posted here on my site too.   Thank you for your kind interest in my project.   Lee James (The Captain) - West Sussex UK
