LATEST NEWS . . .

LUKLA AIRPORT IN NEPAL SET TO GET A HUGE UPDATE IN MSFS - MT. EVEREST VOL.1 . . .
The Team at Aerosoft are set to massively overhaul LUKLA, TENSING HILARY Airport (VNLK) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.    In a new product entitled MT. EVEREST VOLUME 1, developer LIMESIM has taken on the task of producing this first scenery set, which will feature ground services, humans and animals, as well as plenty of other features including the 11-degree sloped runway.   Check out the trailer video HERE . . . 

NEW HIGHLY DETAILED SCENERY OF ALGIERS AIRPORT (DAAG) RELEASED FOR MSFS . . .
A relative newcomer to the world of scenery design for Flight Simulator, NetDesign, has just released Houari Boumediene International Airport (DAAG) in the State of Algiers on the north African coast.   A very highly detailed version of this well known airport, the product also features off-airport landmarks such as the great Djamaa el Djazair Mosque of Algiers.   The four Terminals and over 40 custom objects are also included.  Available from various vendor outlets, more details can be found HERE . . .

OSLO GARDERMOEN AIRPORT GETS POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST MAKEOVER FOR MSFS . . .
With ORBX currently setting the trend for perhaps the best OSLO GARDERMOEN Airport for MSFS so far, Aerosoft releases screenshots showing possibly the highest and most detailed version of this famous airport for MSFS so far.    Developer Jo Erland, who is well known for his attention to detail, is the creative brains behind this new Aerosoft  offering.   Currently, Video Creators AviationLads are putting together a video to showcase the scenery.   In the meantime, check out the screenshots on their Facebook page HERE . . .

 OAKLAND AIRPORT by BMOTW & AMSIM - A REVIEW   
 
Having purchased a copy of Oakland International Airport in Northern
California (KOAK) by Beautiful Model Of The World (BMOTW) and
AmSim, we take a close look at this known, but often overshadowed
airport sitting just across San Francisco Bay, east of it's more popular
neighbour San Francisco International (KSFO).   Possibly the first
payware release of this airport, we check it out close up.   You can find
out more details HERE . . .    

 






KRABI AIRPORT, THAILAND by SIMMAN - A REVIEW   

My thanks to SIMMAN for a review copy of this popular vacation spot,
Krabi, lying just east of Phang Nga Bay and amongst some of the most
well known and visited holiday destinations in Thailand, is not actually
and Island airport!   However, the location is truly wonderful and we 
check out this scenery to see if this is reflected in the new payware
release.   More details 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
