My Long Break – An Explanation
Hello Friends,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted to my blog site and for that I’m very sorry. My last post was made on Christmas Eve and I had stated that I was taking a few weeks off, which unfortunately turned into several months and to be honest I’m not 100% ready to write content on any sort of frequent/regular basis.
You all know that my wife and I moved from Colorado to Central Texas to be close to my dad. Just less than a month after moving, and just before Christmas, my dad passed away. Needless to say, his death hit me pretty hard and I’ve been busy dealing with his estate and my own mental and physical health.
Since last summer, my wife and I have been in a constant period of packing boxes, then moving, then unpacking, then with my father’s death that brought on more packing and more moving etc. We’ve really not had the time, nor the energy to little else. While I’ve spent a few hours gaming (mostly Farming Simulator), I’ve really only within the past few days taken the time to update MSFS 2020, aircraft and other add-ons. But with that said, I have enjoyed a few GA flights and a few airliner flights the past few days.
MSFS 2024
I’m still holding off on purchasing MSFS 2024. With the long break away from gaming, I honestly had forgotten all about the release of the new sim. But spending a few moments reading forums and comments, I see that there are still many issues which need to be sorted out and from what I can tell many add-on aircraft are still not ready for the new sim. So I will remain in my holding pattern until more updates are made available and more add-on aircraft are ready for the new sim.
PMDG 777-200ER
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the new Boeing 777-200 ER was released by PMDG. While I’ve yet to fly the new aircraft, I did purchase and install it. Of all the long-range tubeliner aircraft, the 777-200ER is my favorite and I hope to have some time in the near future to fly her somewhere.
ChasePlane
Of all the news I read after being away for so long that both shocked, surprised and excited me was the news that Chaseplane was finally available for MSFS 2020. This was another purchase I’ve recently made and absolutely love it. So this is also a personal reason to stay on MSFS 2020 for now.
Well, it’s time for me to go out and do a little yardwork before it gets too hot. We’re already heating up into the mid 90’s already and we’re having some family and friends over for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Until next time….
Stay Cool….
Jerry
