I want to share with you a solution I found to help with low FPS rates in the X-Plane 11 beta software. First, remember that X-Plane 11 is still very much in beta. It will likely be considered beta for some time. When a software product is considered to be in beta, it means there…
Flight Sim News
A few months ago I wrote a blog piece discussing my plan to take a very close look at X-Plane 10. I took that look, didn’t really like what I saw and I promptly requested a full refund via Steam. There are a few reasons why I believe my initial X-Plane (XP) experiment failed. The…
Farming Simulator–A New Approach
I realize it’s been a while since I published a blog article. While I’ve been busy playing Farming Simulator 17 and recording much of my game play for the GrizzlyBearSims YouTube Channel, I’ve not turned away from this medium. While video blogs (or vlogs) are popular, I believe the written form of blogging is very…
Goldcrest Valley Episode One
I’m a little slow getting my new FS17 series rolling. I spent the past two and a half days playing and recording content for the series and have really just now stopped to take the time to edit, produce, render, upload etc. Unlike with my Paradise Hills series where I introduced each episode with a…

As I indicated in my post yesterday (Friday), I have several episodes of Paradise Hills recorded, edited and queued ready to go on YouTube. I also have a few more episodes I plan to record this weekend. However, starting Tuesday 25 October (as soon as FS17 downloads to my PC) I plan to begin a…
AI Controlled Vehicles–Cattle and Crops
The talented people over at Cattle and Crops have released a new video showcasing AI Controlled Vehicles. Of course, AI controlled vehicles are nothing new in the world of simulation gaming. Even in the “Farming” genre we have had AI vehicles for some time. We of course also have AI controlled workers either through the…
Paradise Hills Episode Fourteen
TGIF! And thankfully this is the LAST Friday before the release of Farming Simulator 17. The game play videos I’ve been watching on YouTube and Twitch have been amazing. While haters will hate, ignore anyone who tells you that FS17 is just a carbon copy of FS15. FS17 is very much different from the two…
Paradise Hills Episode Thirteen
In this episode on Paradise Hills, we deliver milk to our milk buyer and drop it off in their milkmax homogenizer. In this episode, I discover an issue towards the end where I couldn’t figure out how to pump the milk from the homogenizer. I figured the issue was caused by an old mod of…
