18 August 2010 - Patrice Grange has made a new Mirage IIIB for FS2004 and FSX.  Two schemes (bare metal and Bicentenaire Revolution) and configurations (clean and armed) are included as well as a 2D instrument panel and a virtual cockpit.

7 August 2010 - Nick Black and MAIW have released the seventh and final in their series of French Armée de l'Air Mirage 2000 equipped air bases.  This release covers the various Mirage 2000 units stationed at Mont de Marsan AB (LFBM), Cazaux AB (LFBC), and Djibouti (HFFF).

To add to the flights in French air space and increase traffic at the Mirage air bases, Nick Black and MAIW have released a new AI package covering the transport aircraft of the Armée de l'Air.  Scenery is included for Évreux-Fauville AB (LFOE), Orléans – Bricy AB (LFOJ), and Metz - Frescaty AB (LFSF).

23 July 2010 - André Chancel and the folks at Restauravia have released a new Dassault Mystère IVA for both FS9 and FSX.  External configurations include clean (Patrouille de France) and wing tanks (four Armée de l'Air and four Israel Air Force).  A 2D instrument panel and 3D virtual cockpit are included as well as flight models for both the Verdon and Tay engines.

17 July 2010 - I have had the opportunity to view the upcoming Rafale M by "Thor's Hammer" for FSX.  Even with much work to be done on the cockpit and flight model it is really a beautiful aircraft to view in flight.  I have put together a page of information and will update it as new information becomes available.

13 July 2010 - Vladimir Levkov has repainted the Skysim Mirage III/5 in the fictional colors of a Mirage IIIS in Yugoslav Air Force markings.  Only the textures are included so you will also need the base package.

8 July 2010 - Nick Black and MAIW have released the sixth in their series of French Armée de l'Air Mirage 2000 equipped air bases.  This release covers the Mirage 2000N of EC 3/4 "Limousin" stationed at Istres/Le Tubé AB (LFMI). Istres is not only an Armée de l'Air base, but also the home of the French test pilot school (EPNER - Ecole du Personnel Navigant d'Essais et de Réception), and it houses both a government flight test establishment and Dassault's private flight test center.  Its 5000 meter runway can accomodate the Space Shuttle in the event of a diversion.

5 July 2010 - While visiting the Royal French Navy website of Sonny I found a few Base Aéronavale (BAN) sceneries by Tony Mézières I had not seen before.  These included Landivisiau BAN (LFRJ), Lorient Lann-Bihoué BAN (LFRH), Nîmes Garons BAN (LFTW), and Hyères Le Palyvestre BAN (LFTH).  These are all for FSX and include static military aircraft by Sylvain Parouty.
