I know it’s been a while since I posted to my flight simulation blog, Position and Hold. Like many of you…I just get too busy from time to time for my hobbies or I let one hobby sort of over rule everything else. Some of you who follow this blog may know that I’m an…
Flight Sim
Gearing up
Yes it’s been a while since I posted anything to this blog site. It’s also been a few months since I’ve taken time to enjoy flight simming. As mentioned back in September, I did have to step away from the virtual airline aspect of the hobby. I had a project offered to me which I…
“How To” Page – Introduction
I’ve been flying computer flight simulators since the early to mid 1980’s. During this over 25 year period of time I’ve learned a lot and I would like to share what I’ve learned with my readers. If you’ve been flying for a while, then perhaps nothing I’ll tell you will be new information. However, I…
I’ll never forget
There have been events in history where individuals will always remember where they were, who they were with and what they were doing when the event happened. For the generation of my grandparents, that day was December 7, 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked. For the generation of my parents, that day was November 22,…
What comes around….
Yes, I suppose it truly does go around. I’ve blogged over the past 9-10 months about my full circle experiences of getting back involved with a virtual airline, flying on VATSIM and even managing my old DFW hub. Sadly, it all came to an end tonight when I had to make the difficult decision to…
Microsoft Flight–My Opinions
As a flight simulator blogger, I use this blog to provide reports to you the reader about my flight simulation adventures, news about the hobby of flight simulation, product reviews and from time to time share my personal opinions about the hobby. If I’ve mentioned the new flight sim software from Microsoft simply called Flight,…
We need a better try before you buy
Please note: I wrote this blog post approx. 6 months ago and for whatever reason it failed to publish. I just realized it was stuck in draft mode and while I’ve changed my mind about some aircraft developers and also own a couple of excellent payware models that work flawlessly with my GoFlight hardware, some…
Are you a real Pilot?
This was the question asked of me after I landed my iFly B737NG (FSX version) on 16L at KDEN the other night. It was a dark and stormy night….no really, it was both dark and somewhat stormy with lightning flashes to the west of KDEN. I had departed KDFW for a 2 hour flight on…
Caution–Hard Hat Area
I recently read a blog article which I can easily relate titled “Banging my Head Against the Desk” by fellow blogger and flight sim developer, Bill Womack. Bill describes some of his frustrations with getting his brand new 737 off the hard ground and into the beautiful skies. Bill fully recognizes the differences between complex…
VRInsight CDU II–A Review
Since starting this blog last September, I haven’t written many product review blog postings. This has been for several reasons. First, I’m not really setup as an official reviewer with any flight sim product developers. Any reviews I do are because I purchased the product, own the product and shared my feedback with whom ever…
