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…

Prepar3D – To Update or Not To Update

Posted on April 20, 2019 by admin

How to update Prepar3D–v4.5

Posted on April 18, 2019 by admin

Just less than a year ago, I wrote a similar tutorial when version 4.3 was released.  I began that article with the words “There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding how to update Prepar3D”.  While ten months may have passed, the confusion hasn’t.  So as I stated before, I’m going to do my…

Default/Freeware Aircraft in P3D v4

Posted on August 6, 2018 by admin

Before I get going with this article, let me just clarify who the target audience is for this default/freeware aircraft in P3D v4 article.  I’m NOT writing this article for the seasoned, hard-core flight sim enthusiast who most likely will read the title of this piece and even without reading the article immediately pass judgement…

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…

Did the Community Kill Flight Sim World?

Posted on May 1, 2018 by admin

At the end of the day, are we to blame?  Did we, the flight simulation community play a role in the demise of Dovetail Games Flight Sim World?  For the record, while I only spent about 12-15 hours in Flight Sim World and most of these hours were spent playing back in the June/July 2017…

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…
