Around The World 2025 – Update 6
Hello Captains and welcome back for another update post on my Around the World Adventure in the A2A Piper Comanche. When I began this adventure almost a month ago, I had stated that there may be times when I choose to go back to MSFS 2020 for tubeliner flying. But so far that hasn’t happened. …
Why You Should Make the Move to MSFS 2024
Hello Captains, and welcome back! I’m typically reluctant to tell readers how to spend their hard-earned money. Occasionally, I review add-ons and lightly suggest a purchase—if it seems worthwhile and aligns with your interests. The same approach applies here. Everyone’s financial situation is different, and I respect the variety of choices we make in this…
Around The World 2025 – Update 5
Hello and welcome back. As I continue my around the world adventure in the A2A Comanche, I’ve decided to head south of the equator where I’ll eventually end up in Australia. This is a similar path I followed back in 2010 and I believe the extra time to explore Australia (and perhaps New Zealand) will…

Hello Captains, and welcome back! I’m truly honored you’ve stopped by. Today, I want to share a thoughtful email I received from Michael, a newcomer to the world of flight simulation.

My Top Add-On Utilities for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Just a few weeks ago I published My Top Add-Ons listing for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This listing is just that, it’s a short list of my top add-ons including utilities, aircraft and scenery. Today I want to focus on just my top add-ons in the utility category. I consider these to be must have, at…
Around The World 2025 – Update 4
Hello Captains and welcome back to another adventure update. Before I go any further with my adventure I’d just like to state the following. In the real world, we live in a very volatile world. While I’m making every effort to plan and fly this adventure as close to reality as possible, there are some…
Reader Question – Need for 3rd Party Airports
Hello Captains and welcome back. I recently received an email from an individual who asked a very valid question and one that I’m going to weigh in and provide my thoughts, opinions and answer. Let’s dive right in. Hello Jerry, I recently stumbled across your blog and have been avidly reading your posts. I’m completely…
Climbing the Ladder: My Experience with MSFS 2024 Career Mode
Hello Captains, and welcome back! A few weeks ago, I shared my initial impressions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. While it’s been out for a while, my move from Colorado to Texas — along with some other life priorities — delayed the purchase. Now, after three months of flying, I’ve become especially interested in one…
Around The World 2025 – Update 3
Hello Captains and welcome back. We’re making good progress as we circumnavigate the world in our A2A Comanche. As you may have noticed, I’m selecting smaller GA only airports (when possible) for my adventure. I feel this is a little more immersive for this style of flying versus landing in larger airports such as BOS,…
