Canary Islands Add-On's for Flight Sim

Swiss expat, retired hotelier, Ronald Cachemaille, runs “Cachemaille's Add-On's” and if you like Fight Simulator (Who doesn't? My dad used to play with it for HOURS) and you like the Canary Islands, then you'll absolutely love this collection, which has already achieved 50,000 downloads. Completely freeware, Ron’s site has specialised in airlines textures, AI and AFCAD, mainly of the Canary Islands where he resides, as well as several well designed cockpits were he has mixed reality and fantasy.

His ATR 72-500’s “Islas Airways” and “Binter Canarias New Texture”, for example, are the second and third most downloaded ATR on Flightsim.

Details and downloads can be located here or at his site.

Just as a matter of interest, the angle of approach of the view of Tenerife (with Mount Teide rising in front) shown on the front of Ron's site would bring you in pretty much right over my house, in about 2 seconds flat, which is just out of shot below the horizon. :)
