I would truly love to have both the talent and time to do more YouTube and/or Twitch video content. While my time is rather limited, I also find it really difficult to fill the space of 45-60 minutes of excellent content AND most importantly attempt to do something (anything) others may not already be doing. …
Flight Sim
Realism through Simulation
I play a lot of simulation based video games. Actually…if the game doesn’t have the word “simulation” in the title, I’m very much liable to pass it by. I also have an extremely narrow definition of the word “simulation” and there are some very popular game titles using the word “simulation” in their name. Some…
Milviz 737-200C for Prepar3D v2 & v3
I purchased the Milviz 737-200C about two years ago before I cut ties with FSX. At the time I was primarily running FSX and slowly starting to get my feet wet into P3D. This was circa P3D v2.4 timeframe. When I made the move to P3D v3, I also took the time to completely rebuild…
GPU Upgrade–WOW
When I first built my current gaming machine, I purchased and installed the GTX 780Ti (3GB) GPU. At the time I believe more powerful GPU’s were available, but they were also well over $1,000. Two years ago, the 780Ti was approx. $600. My previous gaming machine had the GTX 460 (1GB) model, so I felt…
Recent Tragedy
It’s never been my intention to use this blog site as a platform to voice political commentary or complain about events in the real world. I’ve mainly kept the topics related to the hobby of flight simulation. However, sometimes events of the real world touch us in such a way that writing about it and…

Without sacrificing the eye candy. This is part two of a two-part blog article. Please see and read part one for the clear picture on what I’m talking about. First, this blog post is titled “How I fixed my OOM issues without sacrificing the eye candy”. Please note the large “I” as in ME. The disclaimer here…
Out of Memory (OOM) Errors
Part One While I’ve had my share of CTD’s (Crash to Desktop) in FSX over the years, I only recently began experiencing the dreaded Out of Memory (OOM) errors which plaque many. As a result, until I started experiencing the OOM’s I really didn’t know much about them, nor what truly caused these to happen. …
The Rock of Gibraltar
I’m increasing my collection of add-on scenery for the European region and just recently purchased the Aerosoft version of Gibraltar LXGB for FSX. This is a fantastic little airport and reminds me of my St. Maarten TNCM package I have from FlyTampa. I currently own scenery from Aerosoft, FlyTampa, FSDT, Orbx, and UK2000 and truly…
World of AI is going to stop – An Opinion
By now, if you follow any of the other sources which communicate the news happening in and around the flight simulation hobby, then you’ve heard about the guys over at World of AI will close their doors on 30 April 2013. I suppose of course on April 1 (or sometime soon after) they could always…
Merry Christmas Flight
As previously mentioned in my blog, I’ve really been having a lot of fun flying for British Airways virtual. I’ve accumulated many hours since joining just about a month ago and my travels have taken me to many European destinations. Since reaching Senior First Officer, I’ve been really having fun in the Level D 767. …
