Posted on February 13, 2023January 29, 2023 by admin

A few weeks ago I was perusing through the various social media platforms and groups I belong to and discovered a discussion taking place regarding why simulation based games are so popular.  One individual in particular was (in my opinion) trolling the group and making various references that simulation based games are the absolute most…

Posted on January 2, 2023December 29, 2022 by admin

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  The annual Navigraph flight sim survey results were released just before the holidays and the survey says…..P3D is dead!  In all honesty, I’m not surprised.  After all, many of the top 3rd party developers have all but stopped creating add-ons for P3D and…
