Those of you who know me and have been reading my blog posts for the past 13+ years, know that I enjoy the immersion which the flight simulation hobby provides to us. I’ve spent time, money and a lot of effort to build up my home simulator with various controllers from GoFlight (which sadly went…

GoFlight Hardware and Prepar3D v5
There are a few key areas which is causing me to take a slow approach to moving full-time over to the new Prepar3D version 5. Of course, reason number 1 is because I have such a smooth running P3Dv4.5 setup that there really isn’t any need to get in a hurry to make the move. …

Please note: I wrote this blog post approx. 6 months ago and for whatever reason it failed to publish.

What is Customer Service?
This blog post is going to be a little bit different as I’m writing it over a period of a few days to document a story. I know exactly where the story will lead me and how I’ll feel when I complete the journey. What is Customer Service? Does support and service after the sale…
My new hardware
In my IT career, hardware has always been my strong point. I learned most of what I know about hardware by taking old PC’s, taking them apart and putting them back together again.

Hello Fellow Flight Simulator Enthuasists
