Incredible new fully integrted utility, Flitelite makes multitasking at night simple. Read maps, charts, etc. with ease. Developed by a NASA funded program, Lite Detect feature shuts off automatically in lighted conditions (30 minute auto shutoff feature). A rechargeable battery backyp provides 30 minutes of power for emergency situations. The FliteLite is ready to use out of the box when connected to a powered intercom or radio which uses power biased micropohones. To activate or deactivate the light, simply make contact with your lower lip for a minimum of one second onto the light sensor of the FliteLite or if you have one hand free, pusch the FliteLite on the mic boom towards your lip to make sensor contact for one second. This will start the on timer for a one minute interval. For any additional on time, simply reactivate the FliteLite. If your aircraft loses power, follow the activation instructions and you will have a total of thirty minutes of back-up activation time which starts immediatlely after power loss.

The Micro MosquitoThe simplest, toughest and cheapest of the fleet (and with the most inexplicably long name), the Picoo Z is a great beginners chopper. It has no forward or backward control, but is fun to fly straight from the box and is a very good way of learning how to control torque (the side to side swing of a helicopter). It’s absurdly robust, and what you lack in control, you gain in it’s ability to take the inevitable knocks of a novice flier. It’s great for kids, and for those people who really can’t be bothered to read the instructions or grapple with learning how to fly a helicopter. To describe the X Rotor Micro Helicopter - or Pico Z for short - as small is rather like saying that the Pacific Ocean is quite big and somewhat on the damp side. At just 17cm (under 7 inches) long and only 4cm (1.5ins) wide, this gnat of a flying machine is the smallest and lightest miniature R/C Helicopter in the world. How they managed to make this remarkable heli so incredibly small, and yet so astonishingly easy to fly is a mystery, but they did, and we love them for it.

Prize 6 : The Greatest V-Bomber Of Them All: The Vulcan
    From Flight One

The famous Vulcan-to-the-Sky XH558, Falklands war, Blue Steel nuclear and Tanker variants are included plus period scenery of RAF Cottesmore. The Avro Vulcan’s powerful lines and distinctive shape make it an icon of cold-war aviation. The Vulcan first flew in 1952 and its varied life is shown in RAF Vulcan from the testing of Britain’s nuclear deterrents to its vital role in helping re-capture the Falklands in 1982. Included is period scenery of RAF Cottesmore and even a repaint kit to allow you create your own liveries. Thanks to the tireless efforts of many people and a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, XH558 is due to return to the sky once more, but FS2004/2002 pilots can avoid the wait with RAF Vulcan now!

Prize 7 : Ultimate Terrain X Europe
    From Flight One

Designed specifically for FSX, Ultimate Terrain X Europe transforms the FSX world by placing all the real world features you would expect (roads, rivers, railways, coastlines, parks etc) in exactly the same place in FSX - if there is a roundabout at the bottom of your road and you fly over your house in FSX the roundabout will be there.  Ultimate Terrain X Europe achieves this by utilising the very best commercial data available.  As it is the data set being replaced, the performance hit seen with photographic scenery is avoided, and the result is a much smoother integration with FSX. More than simply dropping the accurate data into FSX the development team have gone to great lengths to make this the ultimate “must have” product for FSX.  For example, not only are rivers placed accurately according to the real world position, but if they cross extreme elevation changes then the software also corrects the terrain to avoid otherwise common “sloping water”.  One of the drawbacks of accurate data is that it can prove to be very different from the existing FSX dataset and this has previously caused odd looking bridges and tunnels. In Ultimate Terrain X Europe however, bridges and tunnels entrances are included to make sure that the new roads and railways look right as well as being right.
