Process Lasso–Boost or Bust?

Posted on October 10, 2019 by admin

For as long as I can remember, the desire to eke out another frame or three has been the desire for many who constantly stress over FPS (Frames Per Second).  I’ve stated my opinion on FPS many times and will do so again.  Basically I tune my P3D setup for maximum smoothness.  I don’t have…

Flight Simulation–The Struggle for Balance

Posted on May 22, 2019 by admin

While I’ll be the absolute first to tell you that Prepar3D, Flight Simulator X (FSX) and X-Plane are NOT video games…they are computer based flight simulators!  It certainly didn’t start out this way.  As I often show my age when I speak about the fact that I’ve been flying computer based simulations since the early…

How to update Prepar3D

Posted on June 27, 2018 by admin

There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the process of how to update Prepar3D.  While the geniuses at Lockheed Martin have created a super easy to follow instruction manual, the confusion regarding this process seems to run rampant on social media.  I’m not sure why really.  Perhaps it’s the reluctance of reading the…

Money Down the Drain

Posted on May 26, 2018April 19, 2024 by admin

Over the past several weeks I’ve been catching up on the latest information regarding all things Flight Sim.  I can’t help but notice so many people are just throwing their hard earned money down the drain.  I simply don’t understand it.  What am I talking about?  I’m talking about my fellow flight simmers who are…

Windows 10 Updates

Posted on April 25, 2018 by admin

While I’m sure you’ll find many differing opinions on Microsoft’s current OS, I must say that Windows 10 is perhaps the best thing that has happened in the PC gaming industry since sliced bread or a pocket on a shirt.  But the Windows 10 update process does lack a lot to be desired. My PC…

And then there were two…

Posted on April 23, 2018 by admin

Earlier today, Dovetail Games announced “with great sadness” the closure of Flight Sim World (FSW).  It’s been slightly less than one year since I first discussed FSW on my blog site and in late May of last year I wrote about my first impressions after having spent a little bit of time exploring the simulator.  …

The Way It Should Be….

Posted on November 15, 2017 by admin

I’ve often commented on how much I enjoy the Steam gaming platform update process.  Of the Steam games I enjoy (Farm Sim, Truck Sim etc.) when a patch or update becomes available, the Steam client seamlessly (for the most part) installs that update and I don’t need to worry about anything.  Likewise, both ATS and…

Flight Simulator 11 is finally here

Posted on May 30, 2017 by admin

While we’re still a few hours away from the official release of Prepar3D v4 (64 bit), over the past few days I’ve watched a few videos showcasing the new simulator and even some comparing it to P3D v3.4.  Not surprisingly, some people are losing their minds and being critical of Lockheed Martin by saying this…

The Last OOM?

Posted on May 29, 2017 by admin

In less than 24 hours, Lockheed Martin will release the highly anticipated and very long overdue 64 bit version of Prepar3D version 4.  With this release, will we finally see an end to the out of memory issues we’ve all experienced with FSX and every version of P3D?  Have we experienced the last OOM?  Can…
