smartCARS 3

smartCARS 3

To all,

You may have noticed that smartCARS 3 is available for download in the pilot center. I do see some of you already using it to fly, which is great!

As of September 1st 2024, Virtual Northwest will be switching solely to smartCARS 3. This is due to TFDI discontinuing smartCARS 2. If you need any assistance there is a tutorial in the downloads center, or just  @ me on discord.
