In a meeting on 27th April  in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, a new organization was formed to be an advocate of flight simulation, the community and organizations in support of our hobby – The International Flight Simulation Consortium. Attended by some 25 developers, community members and publishers, the nascent organization has created an interim board of directors. The IFSC has been launched with the intent to represent and promote our hobby world-wide.

Aeromexico fears the Boeing 787-8, which it now expects to begin receiving in 2012, may fail to meet original performance specifications including the ability to operate non-stop flights from Mexico City to Asia.
CEO Andres Conesa says Aeromexico decided to acquire five 787-8s in 2005 assuming the aircraft could operate its Shanghai, Tokyo and Rome services non-stop. But he says the carrier is now unsure if Boeing will be able to meet the specs outlined in its 787 contract.
“The expectation was that plane could go all the way to Greece,” Conesa told ATI in an interview yesterday at Aeromexico’s Mexico City headquarters. “It has changed. Today we don’t know the final conditions.” The distance between Mexico City and Athens is roughly 7,000 nautical miles.

After some time I’m back on the blog! This time to post a very beautiful photo of a new Air France special colour A321: to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its foundation AF proposes a great A321-211in retrojet colours, the F-JFGK “Pays de Roissy CDG”. To paint an aircraft in vintage colours is in fashion today, and I’m loving it! I propose to you also a FS9 version of this bird, a very great repaint based on Project Opensky model.
