Something to come…….
Our friend Simon Smeiman from South Africa is working hard on his next old aircraft. This one goes very well with our previous release, the Lysander. Why? Because they are ‘buddies’ still today in the museum at Old Warden. The cockpit pictures were all taken there and the beta model is in the hands of our testers at this time…..

Getting the new design in
Boy, does it take time… re-designing all the websites. But finally I start seeing some results and decided to ‘go public’. The FSAddon site is the first to be published in its new coat, Europe Rides is halfway there already too.
I also put the ‘old’ product page back up, since many sites had a link into it. So you can continue to choose where to buy from: simMarket, FSAddon+Flight1, or FSAddon’s own shop.
I hope you like the new ‘looks’. The content, company philosophy and prduct (plans) remain unchanged!

I think I will settle on that title.
‘Westland Lysander for FSX’ just doesn’t cut it.
We have included a lot of documentation of some of the secret missions these planes and their brave pilots carried out behind enemy lines during World War 2. Initially designed as an army cooperation aircraft and new light bomber before the war, the Lysanders most famous actions were those carried out for the SOE to ferry resistance leaders and agents to and from occupied France.
There’s an huge chunk of history attached to this aircraft, its pilots and the squadrons it flew in, and you will find much of that in the extensive documentation we provide with it.
The model we have initially portrayed in our package is that of an SOE Lysander as it is now preserved (and still flying!) at the Shuttleworth Collection at the Old Warden airfield in the UK. The project started with buying a book written by one of its war time pilots, Hugh Verity, and from there on it became one of my personal pet projects.
BECAUSE it was (and is) a personal pet project, I kept pouring money into it, instead of giving up after the umpteenth designer let me down. So the end result now is a beautiful, fully working model and realistic for FSX, supported by a wealth of extra’s in terms of research, documentation, scenery even…. and Operation Guidelines.
That’s right. You not only get the beautiful STOL aircraft, but also a comprehensive set of operational documents allowing you to try your hand at what these brave and skilled pilots did in the war: fly by the light of the moon, navigate by streams, rivers, railroads, lakes and other landmarks visible in the moonlight….. and your compass….. and find minuscule torch lights flashing for you to land and pick up agents before the German Gestapo got on to it!
I can guarantee you many evenings and nights of breathtaking flying, and maybe some frustration at first, too. I know because I did it. I flew each and every mission, most of them many times. And although I am obviously biased, this being my Pet Project and being an aviation and WW2 buff at that, this truly is one of the best things I’ve done in years using Flight Simulator!
And please, do not think that this is not for you if you are an airline pilot used to FMC’s, electronics, endless check lists and hours of flight preparation.
One of the most experienced pilots at Old Warden, flying the ‘Lizzie’ and many of the other historical aircraft, is an active British Airbus captain, who now lives in France and comes over almost every week to fly these ‘real’ aircraft!












And yes, it looks EASY at day time….. now try with moonlight only ! :-)
TALLY HO !!!!!
FenceBuilder Pro out now !
Our latest design product is now available on simMarket and will be available on our own site soon (via the Flight1 wrapper software) .
Build a fence, a wall, a hedge… anything ! Yoor segmented objects are BUILT by the compiler, not just ‘placed’ like ordinary objects (that’s possible too, by the way), and will follow the actual terrain profile !
Get it here already at simMarket and build your own enhancements to both FS2004 AND FSX !
FenceBuilder Pro Coming This Weekend!
Yup, we’ve finished it and FenceBuilder Pro will be available on simMarket sometime tomorrow, and on our own website on Saturday!
Meanwhile, for those of you curious to see what it can do, check out the Quick Start Guide that we’ve made available here already!
FenceBuilder Pro will let you place fences, walls, lamp posts and basically anything that can be placed in a repetitive line. It takes objects and effects for that purpose too, if you like, as well as specific segments of fencing or walls!
Now you can build a fence around your property or favorite airstrip, build a wall around your house, or lay a pipeline all through Alaska ! Your fantasy (and availability of segments, objects and effects) is the limit!
Out soon! FenceBuilder Pro
Afraid that trespassers will enter your private little airfield? Or that your virtual cows will seek greener virtual pastures? Or maybe you just want to make the entrance to your airpark look a little friendlier? So you need walls, fences, barbed wire even, or just a low row of flowers!
Now FSAddon’s FenceBuilder Pro is almost ready to be released and soon you can make all this and much, much more, in both FS2004 and FSX.
Heck, you can even build a copy of the Chinese wall if you want to or any other ‘row-like’ type of object for that matter. And it really ‘builds’ them. It is not an object placer as so many others. Although, to be brutally honest, it does THAT too! AND it helps you place effect files. Oh yes, and it places SOUNDS as well!
Gosh! And all that for the same price? Yup, you got that right!

Tongass Fjords X by Holger Sandmann and Bill Womack – NEWCLICK HERE FOR THE PRODUCT PAGE Tongass Fjords X is the completely rebuilt version for FSX of our previous Tongass Fjords success title. It again is a major cooperation between Holger Sandmann and Bill Womack, including the already legendary ‘Sandmann Landscape’ and also some true-to-life regional airports such as Sitka and Petersburg, the town of Petersburg and quite a few other settlements, airports, seaplane bases and harbors. As you will learn there is a plethora of things to see, discover, experience and visit !!! Tongass Fjords X is supported by the same team that brought you Misty Fjords and Tongass Fjords for FS2004, and it covers almost the same area as the previous Tongass Fjords. It is fully compatible with Ultimate Terrain right from the start, and also with most other FSX titles for the region that have been released up till now. With Tongass Fjords X we bring you a whole new FS world, 80,000 square kilometers of it !!! Nope, we’re not exaggerating one little bit, as you will soon see after installing it. Tongass Fjords X really is what FSAddon.com Publishing is all about….. enhancing your immersion in the wonderful world of Flight Simulation. Tongass Fjords X will give you the feeling of ‘being there’ more than ANY other product currently on the market. Sure, sure, marketing speak, right!? We are convinced that you will agree with us after installing Tongass Fjords X and all its additional scenery and objects. All of the thousands of previous owners of Misty Fjords and Tongass Fjords will confirm and support this. This is one of the rare FS add-ons that already had an active ‘following’ before even being published !! ATTENTION! Tongass Fjords X is MORE than 1 Gb in size and our own servers are not very fast. We recommend to use a download manager in order to be able to resume download in case of trouble. |

LHA-5 Helicopter Carrier by AJ WeberWe have called it LHA-5, but in fact you get FIVE Helicopter Carriers of the US Navy Tarwa Class in this package AND an amphibious tank, the AAV-7A1 that you can drive on land and in the water!!! AJ Weber is one of our new authors and has been learning along the way building this first project in our FSX Naval Series! The ships is are wonderful renditions of their class, and a great place to practice your helicopter landings, both by day AND by night. There is not a whole lot of space on the small deck! The ship has working radars, deck lighting for the helicopter operations, and an opening well deck door to allow access to the landing craft dock inside! The deck landing lights and well deck doors are animated, and are basically triggered by the user aircraft in some way. The well deck doors are will open when the user aircraft NAV2 radio is set to 108.00, and will close if any other frequency is chosen. All other animations such as radars are ongoing and not triggered by anything. But that’s not all….. AJ also has included a working model of the AAV-7, the current amphibious tracked vehicle used by the US Marines for beaching operations. AJ has done a wonderful job in building this tank, with real moving tracks, opening door and hatch, even a firing canon with visible effects and bulging black diesel smoke coming from the exhaust when opening up the throttle (thanks to the kind and much appreciated help of Rob Barendrecht). |

T-50 Bobcat by Simon SmeimanThis old twin engined aircraft was flying back in 1939 and has now been faithfully reproduced to fly in FSX by Simon Smeiman. This model was developed with FSX compatible tools, tested and found to be working well with Windows XP and Vista with DX10. The developing of the model was based as far as possible on the data and specifications of the real world Cessna T-50 Bobcat. However, we do not claim that the flying characteristics of the model resemble that of the real world aircraft. This package consists of the following aircraft configurations:

FS9 Grenoble Isère AirportWe haven’t forgotten our still large contingent of FS9 customers and Grenoble Isère Airport by Antonio Totingue is a wonderful addition to FS2004 for those flying in France. Even more so for users of the FranceVFR FlightAlpesNord package ! Antonio Totingue has made Grenoble Airport fit into the FranceVFR scenery and adapted a few textures for it as well. You can use it without too, of course. Grenoble comes with all the buildings painfully copied from the real ones, with airport traffic, lots of animations, changes according to season, opening hangar doors, and much more. Most of all it provides a very realistic ‘feel’ of a typical French regional airport and allows for great flights in the area, where other such airports (like Chambery and Annecy) can be found too. |

FSX Mission EditorThe new ‘Missions’ that Microsoft introduced with their latest itteration of the Flight Simulator franchise, Flight Simulator X, drew a lot of excitement. Not only would the missions give something ‘to do’ and possibly attract a whole new breed of flightsimmers. It would also be something ‘to do’ in the more creative sene; MAKING MISSIONS YOURSELF and adding to the sim experience that way. Alas…. the implementation was less than stellar in the area of design and building. With Jim Keir’s Mission Editor for FSX this is now changing. Click HERE for details

Tongass Fjords for FS9Tongass Fjords is the successor and complement to Misty Fjords. Tongass Fjords is a major cooperation between Holger Sandmann and Bill Womack, now not only including the already legendary ‘Sandmann Landscape’ but also a true-to-life regional airport (Sitka), the town of Petersburgh and quite a few other settlements, airports, seaplane bases and harbors. One of our BEST titles to date without any doubt….. Tongass Fjords covers 70.000 square kilometers of breathtaking Alaskan landscapes between Misty Fjords and Juneau. An area far larger than Switzerland, for instance. It has ALL of the REAL landscape’s features; exact coastlines, lakes, rivers, mountains….. based on topographical maps of the area. Special textures to show you glaciers, forestry work, gravel beds in the rivers, forest and snow depending on altitude and season, townships etc. All the roads (not that there are many), settlements, towns, with special Landclass files.

Helicopter Landing Ship LHA-5 on CD
We now finished the production version of AJ Weber’s LHA-5 and amphibious tank AAV-7 to be delivered through the F1 wrapper system AND on CD.
The product will remain available from the regular on-line shop, simMarket, of course, but can now also be bought direct from FSAddon Publishing (see our ‘FSAddon Products’ on the right of this page), both as download (for US$ 19,95) and on CD (US$ 30) for those of you who have slow connections.
The LHA offers not one but FIVE of the Tarawa class landing ships, placed in various locations around the world (US coast, Hawaii, Lebanon and Japan). It is land-able and an excellent platform for helicopter pilots to practice.
In addition the ‘drive-able’ AAV-7 amphibious tank is a load of fun to use to drive around… and it floats too !!!
FSAddon founding member of IFSC
In a meeting in Amsterdam of some of the world’s best known publishers, news sites and developers the IFSC (International Flight Sim Consortium) was formed. FSAddon Publishing is one of the founding members of this global group of stakeholders in the flight simulator hobby.
Aim is to make sure that the hobby as such will continue to prosper, now that Microsoft pulled out of it, and both hobbyists AND add-on development companies will continue to have a market.
There will be a fee attached to membership and basically only commercial entities can be member. Each commercial member will have the opportunity of introducing a maximum of two of non-profit groups (examples of such would be VATSIM, serious VA’s, freeware developer groups etc.).
More details will be made available as soon as we have them. Suffice now to say that we think this is a great initiative (started by Arnie Lee of Abacus Software) and we’re hopeful of being able to pull together the various competing companies and developers to at least help keep the hobby alive, in everybody’s best interest!
We are selling on CD/DVD now too….
Over the years we’ve had quite a few requests from customers – that would be YOU ! – to deliver our products on CD as well as in download format. At first we didn’t have the ability for that, then we didn’t have the time. But since our products catalogue has been growing over time and the requests kept coming in, we decided that perhaps it is time to go the extra mile and burn you a CD if desired.
So the first few products are now available on CD, DIRECT from FSAddon Publishing. Since we are a small (but growing) company we cannot offer yet a gazillion of payment methods – or rather: we just can’t afford it yet – so you’ll have to do with Paypal and/or credit card through them. There is still the option of buying the products through simMarket and have THEM burn a CD for you, of course.
Together with the ‘CD plan’ we’re also coming back to an earlier promise of making some products a little cheaper, by pricing them in US $ instead of the expensive Euros.
The first titles available now are Plum Island, Plum Island PLUS Piper Cub (ONLY on CD!) and Vancouver Plus X. These are all FSX only titles! Click on ‘fsaddon products’ to the right to go to our purchase page!


6 years of research, planning and development went into this product.
