Ultimate VFR Guam Scenery Steam Special

This scenery by Ultimate VFR I grabbed for 5 Euro, as I like island scenery and this one is right there in the middle of the Pacific. Quite a small island, but with an International airport (Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, ICAO: PGUM) and a United States naval airbase (Andersen, ICAO: PGUA), used historically for B-52 and KC-135 tankers.

The scenery is a bit drab and basic, not really up there with the Orbx FTX sceneries, but for 5 Euro for an unusual piece of island scenery and 2 airports, I think it is good value.

Battle of Britain Spitfire Sale on Steam

This aircraft is normally 35 Euro on Just Flight website, I just saw it on Steam for 10 Euro, so it's a no-brainer. Goes well with my Messerschmitt Bf 109, which I also picked up on special offer on Steam. Very easy to fly, great engine sound and looks great. I took mine on a spin from Southampton Airport (FTX) over to Old Sarum at Salisbury (UK2000). Here I am at the end of the flight parked up on the airstrip.

The Just Flight Spitfire is available on Steam, now at the normal price of 19.99 Euro. I am waiting for the Hawker Hurricane to complete my collection.
