Today, 4 years ago was the official release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and what exciting times we live in as a result. While it took me almost two years to fully embrace and move over to MSFS 2020 as my primary sim, I knew on day one that what we were witnessing with MSFS…

Some Fresh Thoughts on MSFS 2024
Over the past few days there have been some updated information flowing out of Microsoft/Asobo regarding the upcoming release of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. I think from the very first time we began hearing about MSFS 2024, we knew it was going to be BIG both in sheer size but also in functionality….
Career Mode Add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Hello and thank you for returning to yet another flight simulator blog post. A few weeks ago I discussed the topic around whether the Flight Sim Virtual Airline concept was still relevant in today’s virtual aviation world. The short answer to that question is absolutely YES! If you haven’t already, please read that article. In…
I’ve Stopped Buying Add-ons for MSFS
Hello to all my wonderful readers. As we say goodbye to Spring and a reluctant hello to Summer, I’ve made the conscience decision to cease purchasing add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Of course, this excludes the PMDG Boeing 777, PMDG Boeing 737 Max and probably also excludes any other 3rd party aircraft that might…
Reader Question – Go Arounds on VATSIM
I recently received an interesting and somewhat concerning email from one of our new readers to my blog site. Here’s the email…. Hello Jerry! I’ve been reading your blog postings for a few months now and they have really helped me. I’m relatively new to flight sim. Have been flying MSFS and the PMDG 737…
Winwing Airbus FCU Finally
You might remember I first mentioned my interest in the new Winwing Airbus FCU back in May when I posted about my brand new purchase of the Thrustmaster Airbus Captains Pack. Well I had placed my order for the Winwing FCU way back on 23 April and had all but lost hope that I would…
Lossless Scaling App with MSFS
While I was traveling last week, I was trying to stay in touch with all the related Flight Sim news breaking both from the FSExpo and elsewhere. In my American VA, one of our members posted some information about a newish application that has been released called Lossless Scaling. In all honesty, I really didn’t…
PMDG 777-300ER Long Hauls
Hello ladies, gentlemen and boys and girls….the past few days I’ve really been giving the new PMDG 777-300ER a good workout traversing across the North Atlantic a few times. While I spent the first few days of ownership of this awesome aircraft flying some of the shorter domestic routes which American Airlines still operates such…
PMDG Boeing 777-300ER is Amazing
But of course, we knew it would be right? The wait is over…PMDG finally released their very highly anticipated Boeing 777-300ER on schedule just a few days ago. Due to my traveling schedule, I was actually down in Texas at the DFW Airport when it released so I didn’t get to take part in all…
Are Virtual Airlines Still Relevant Today?
I became first acquainted with a virtual airline or VA for short in the 1999 or early 2000 timeframe. During these past 24-25 years, with exception for a year to two when life was so busy that I didn’t spend much time at all with flight sim, I’ve belonged to one or more VA’s. Today…
