Welcome to the GJSmith.net Second Newsletter.  There are some incredible new things happening at the moment and this newsletter will bring you up to speed on the news and current events and also highlight some of the wonderful things coming in the not too distant future designed for your entertainment.

   
FS-Shipyards
This is an incredibly unique site - dedicated to ships and boats being used in Flight Simulation.

There are ships as big as Aircraft Carriers and as small as barges and yachts.  With everything in between - Liners, Cargo ships, Oil Tankers, Container Ships, Warships, patrol boats etc.

Many of them you can sail (fly on the water with 2D and 3D cockpits (bridges)) and many have full AI capabilities to enhance your flight sim environment.

And of course this is all supported by some unique scenery and an active forum for user support.

So if you want to see something different, add a unique perspective, or are just curious about Ships in Flight Simulation then pop on over to:

Custom Wings has build a full 18in long model of the revolutionary new Airbus 380 and it has been painted up in the full IFC 2005 A380 Livery which is the Mascot for this years Convention.
The model has been hand build from wood and hand painted to an outstanding level of detail.
This model will be raffled off at the Convention so you are invited to buy a ticket for her and you could be the proud owner of this aircraft and be taking her home with you from the convention.  This prize is worth several hundred British Pounds.

Check out Custom Wings for some of the other incredible aircraft that are available.

 The cover was developed with the future of flight simulation in mind as we spiral headlong into a new era of flight simulation at it's best. It also features the Mike Stone A380 aircraft wearing this years IFC Mascot livery.
The magazine will be available at the Convention and will include many wonderful articles and items of interest.  Even a page of information on repainting contributed by yours truly.

A new, fully revamped model and some dramatic updates to various aspects of the Warwick Carter Tiger moth is now available from my site and the other major approved Flight Sim sites.

New Slide Show
