With our 5th installment of this COVID-19 Relief Flight Series, we’re bringing in the Queen. The Queen of the Skies, the awesome Boeing 747-400 freighter by PMDG. I really don’t get enough opportunities to fly the Queen. But this is about to change as we’re going to be flying her on a few different routes…

COVID-19 Relief Flight Series #4
I hope you are enjoying this series of cargo flights. As I indicated in the last installment, we’re going to be headed back to Belgium and will return the 738 Freighter back to her home base in Liege, Belgium (EBLG). Liege is primarily a cargo hub for many different cargo airlines including Air China Cargo,…
COVID-19 Relief Flight Series #3
As mentioned in my previous installment, this is a continuation flight to ferry the remaining relief cargo which we picked up in Brussels on to the island of Palma De Mallorca (LEPA). At the time of the breakout of the Coronavirus, the resort island was packed with tourists and unfortunately not all were able to…
My Top 5 Passenger Airlines to Simulate
Yes, another of my top lists related to flight simulation. This time, this is my top 5 list of passenger airlines I enjoy simulating their operations. I simply couldn’t narrow my list down to just five and I felt ten was just going to be a stretch. While I do simulate other airlines than those…
COVID-19 Relief Flight Series #2
While my first installment brought us to Europe, I’m going to spend some time flying and jumping around to a few different payware airports which I haven’t visited in a while.

The title “COVID-19 Relief Flight Series” has dual meaning. First, yes…in my imagination I’m flying some form of relief supplies from point A to…
Audio for VATSIM is LIVE!!!
Yes, it’s true! The brand spankin new Audio for VATSIM is live. Since I participated in the beta test last June, I bet I hadn’t logged more than 10 hours on VATSIM. While life has been busy the past few months, to be honest I had very little desire to fly on VATSIM until the…
Process Lasso–Boost or Bust?
For as long as I can remember, the desire to eke out another frame or three has been the desire for many who constantly stress over FPS (Frames Per Second). I’ve stated my opinion on FPS many times and will do so again. Basically I tune my P3D setup for maximum smoothness. I don’t have…
Audio For VATSIM Launch News
The wait is almost over… For well over a year, we’ve been hearing the news about the new Audio for VATSIM project. We’ve all watched and listened to videos covering this brand new audio system which promised to replace the very much outdated audio system currently in use. Some of us have also been granted…
Microsoft Flight Simulator (AKA MSFS2020) News
In addition to sore, tired muscles from a weekend of major DIY work (see photo below), I also woke up to some really awesome news about the upcoming (sometime in 2020) Microsoft Flight Simulator. More about this in just a bit. Major “Honey Do” list work One of the reasons why I haven’t been very…
