Thisis a bit more complex unfortunately than we'd like. MSFS encrypts scenery purchased from the marketplace (which includes the enhanced sceneries), so the standard approach we use to scan the .bgl files for airport info to display them on the map does not work.
A brand new, version 2 (enhanced) scenery pack covering the entire area of the City of Dallas (USA) for the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 release. Developed by Thalixte who is known for these photoreal/photogrammetry packs for MSFS. This pack, like all previous releases, does not disappoint.
Dallas is located in the Southern region of the USA in the state of Texas with a bustling cityscape and skyline which can be experienced in the sim but also close to the coast (in aviation terms) should you wish to fly south after taking off from the scenery area covered. This makes for some beautiful flights in MSFS and with a selection of airports in and around the scenery area covered.
This scenery pack is a complete replacement of the default Microsoft offering within the sim. The ground photoreal scenery is replaced by a third-party source along with 3D buildings and objects that have been brought up to a higher detail than the default Microsoft install. While this is a large download, if you frequent the skies of Dallas you will appreciate this add-on and spend hours flying around the scenery area.
Essentially, this is a complete overhaul of the default Dallas scenery that will really bring your virtual flights to life in and around the area. Whether flying out of major airports such as Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in heavies or taking off via VFR from Terrell Municipal Airport (TRL) - this complete freeware scenery pack has you covered.
The freeware release available from Fly Away Simulation includes all packs needed to experience the whole scenery area of Dallas City, USA as envisioned by the developer. Some other sites that list this file release it in parts. The one you download from here will include all parts (1-2) and is a complete, single download pack with no need to source or search for additional files or releases. It's a complete package with a single download. The developer originally released this scenery in 2 parts - they are all included.
These airports are inside the Dallas region. Instead of listing everything nearby, we chose this selection because they are inside (or almost inside) the scenery area covered. ICAO codes along with runway lengths have been included.
Thalixte is a developer that has focused on creating photogrammetry and scenery packs for the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 release. All of this developer's releases have received fantastic feedback from many users on various flight sim websites including Fly Away Simulation.
From humble beginnings in the 1980s with cassette tape-based simulators featuring only basic gauges, today's flight simulators offer an unparalleled level of immersion and realism. In this blog, we will explore the crucial aspects of software, hardware, and flight controls that will help you unlock three distinct levels of flight simulation experience.
Before diving into customization, it's important to define the purpose of your simulator. Are you an aviation enthusiast, a student pilot seeking enhanced flight training, or a certified pilot wanting to replicate your real-world aircraft? Regardless, certain foundational elements are essential for a satisfying flight simulation experience.
When it comes to flight simulation software, it boils down to X-Plane vs. MSFS. We tend to recommend X-Plane, with highly accurate flight dynamics, systems modeling, and extensive customization options, X-Plane is geared more toward in-home flight training.
There are still multiple benefits to MSFS as well. The main difference being the enhanced visuals. With ultra realistic landmarks and graphics, an optimized visual system means that MSFS is better when practicing VFR flying.
An essential component for any flight simulation experience, the correct yoke offers a level of realism, intuitive control, and precise aircraft handling that cannot be replicated. Below you can find 4 different Yoke manufacturers that each offer their unique benefits.
The Starter Package features a simplified cockpit experience. The Advanced Package highlights add-ons that provide more realistic controls and visuals. And the Professional Package, consisting of high-fidelity replicas and immersive environments for comprehensive flight training.
Above we discussed the basics that everyone needs. When talking starter package, this is the first foray into additional hardware to complement your training. For a lot of pilots, the additions below fit that bill.
When considering some of the Advanced package add-ons, the Yoke Top Desk Package offers nearly everything mentioned above and conveniently sits atop your desk while providing a next-level simulator experience.
This is dependent upon the level of the pilot and where they are training. A student outside of flight school is likely to use something close to the starter package mentioned above. A pilot enrolled in a Part 141 or 61 is likely to be using an aviation training device, and a pilot in training at any major airline is certain to be training with an FFS mentioned above.
The best simulator is the one that suits your needs. Most student pilots can significantly improve their quality of training by building a simulator that most closely resembles the aircraft they tend to fly, either in real flight or in the simulator.

In this Letter, we present the technology of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) inscription in highly birefringent (HB) few-mode microstructured fibers (MSFs) with two different (nanosecond and femtosecond) lasers in a Talbot interferometer setup. The spectral characteristics of FBGs written in the core region of the investigated fiber, with particular modes represented by dual peaks, are presented and discussed. Furthermore, we calculate the fundamental fiber parameters (mode effective refractive index and phase modal birefringence) from the spectral characteristics and show very good agreement with the performed numerical fiber characterization. We expect the results of our experiments to be very useful in future development of FBG sensors based on novel HB MSFs, with enhanced strain sensitivity of higher-order modes.
