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,…

Welcome Back, Captains! ✈️ Tomorrow marks a special milestone—15 years since Position and Hold, A Flight Simulation Blog first took flight on September 2, 2010.

Add-on Linker – Is It Worth The Hassle
Hello Captains, and welcome back! I’ve been aware of the Add-on Linker utility since the early days of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I installed it, configured it, and gave it a fair shot. But truth be told, I quickly fell out of the habit—mostly because I kept forgetting to launch it before each flight to…
Around The World 2025 – Update 2
Hello Captains and welcome back. Just to quickly recap from my previous update post. I departed my hometown airport of Georgetown, Texas (KGTU) on 15 August for an Around The World Adventure in the incredibly awesome A2A Piper Comanche. Over the past five days and with nine flight legs completed, we have reached the eastern…
Why I Update My GPU Drivers (and You Should Too)
Hello Captains, and welcome back. One of the most common questions I get is: “Which GPU driver version are you running, and have you had any issues with it?” Fair question. My philosophy has always leaned toward “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Back in my Prepar3D days, I’d often hold off on updates—whether…
Around The World 2025 – Update 1
Hello Captains and welcome back. On Friday, 15 August I embarked on the first few legs of my multi-leg journey to circumnavigate the world in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 flying the amazingly awesome A2A PA-24 Comanche. Much like my 2010 Around the World Adventure in the Carenado Mooney, I’m traveling in an northeasterly direction and…
Around The World 2025
Hello Captains and welcome back. It’s time for another around the world adventure. I’ve completed many around the world adventures in flight sim over the years. Back in 2010 I flew around the world in FSX in the Carenado Mooney and loved it. Today I’m embarking on another around the world adventure in MSFS 2024…
A2A PA-24 Comanche
Hello Captains, and welcome back! I recently picked up the A2A PA-24 Comanche—and I’m absolutely smitten. It’s such a joy to fly that I couldn’t resist sharing my experience with you. While this isn’t my first A2A aircraft, it’s the first I’ve flown in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), and it’s been nothing short of exceptional….
