And now for something completely different! Having had the luxury of retiring at the age 47, it's been over 11 years now. Flight simming, other PC based gaming passions, researching, and writing have filled the hours nicely in that time and continue to do the same. So, why do I need to revisit a hobby I last engaged in back in the 1970's - you may well ask! Well, I blame my children, both of them. About seven years ago, my daughter presented me with an Airfix 1:48 scale plastic model kit as a present for my birthday. Of course, she wasn't sure if I would even like it, but unbeknown t

I won't say what happened to a lot of my model aeroplanes as a kid, but it involved lighter fluid, an upstairs window, and mysterious burn marks in the lawn . . .

a few paints for Carenado's Waco:

My latest effort! Really enjoyed the research on this one! Experience the beauty of the Northern Lights as we fly the Daher TBM 930 from Nuuk (Capital of Greenland). This evening flight takes us North along the coast of West Greenland. This is a 25 minute flight covering 82nm from Nuuk (BGGH) to Maniitsoq (BGMQ) with in flight information on the Northern Lights. Note for the Flight Simulator pilots : At the time of publishing this video, Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) does not incorporate the visuals of the Northern Lights. Real world Northern Lights were edited into the video to showc

Carenado . . . no. I think they have chosen to be only on the MSFS Marketplace.

There are definitely aircraft available for MSFS through Orbx Direct and SimMarket, probably other outlets too.

Hi Max, I believe for the foreseeable future, aircraft can only be purchased through the 'Marketplace' within MSFS. This method has unfortunately caused a lot of problems for developers. So unless MS change their ideas of letting third parties sell their wares outside of the sim, the status quo remains.

Glad you like them! A few more:

wonderful series! Such a lovely aircraft, maybe I should try to import it into MSFS. I even saw one of my own paints, I did a few more if you're interested:

Hi Tim, I‘m great too, thanks. I thought it, but Question about was, thought maybe someone had already tried and checked that. Indeed quiet new. The MSFS2020 is gonna be use for that Project next coming month, depending on Covid-Disease. So if I have News about it, gonna let you know here.

Hi Max, I’m great. You? The problems really are in the areas msfs has not yet implemented. Soft buttons on the G1000 for example. There’s no suggestion that they won’t be implemented, just that they aren’t there yet. FSDeveloper and the SDK section of the MS forum are the places to find more detailed info.

I only use it as a means for connecting Plan-G, and in that context it works as well as previous versions. (telemetry/status functions, autopilot switches etc). As I understand it, the implementation of offsets etc in FSUIPC7 is complete, but there may still be some things that MSFS doesn't handle.

DC Designs F-15 C, D, E & I Eagle ready for ops in Microsoft Flight Simulator! DC Designs's new F-15 C, D, E & I Eagle fighter collection for Microsoft Flight Simulator is now on sale, bringing you highly detailed models in eight liveries, with the front and rear cockpit positions included in the twin-seat variants. The models are fully compliant with Virtual Reality headsets and among the features are Head-Up Displays, MFDs with visual layouts based on the real aircraft systems, custom-coded ordnance options, authentic night lighting, smoothly animated 3D instruments, cus

At the moment Max, FSUIPC 7 works with MSFS2020 but not as you know it with FSX or P3D. The interface as you know it does not exist at the moment but I believe that may come in the future. Suffice to say, it works.

Hi Joe, nice TO hear from You also. Hope everything is still ok. Have not forgotten indeed you‘re right. 10 Years celebration. Wow, time is Running. Hugh! In the meantime i had a lot to do like everyone here as well, but new houses and rebuild and rebuild the SIM. And short breaks due to Work. Now it’s the last Project.. Stay safe and tuned Cheers Max

Thanks everyone and best wishes for 2021!

More frequent flyer air miles!

Great landing!

Hi Everybody, This is a Southwest Airlines Flight, flight #2287 with nonstop service from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Albuquerque International. We are parked at gate D4, our takeoff runway is 25R and our departure out of Phoenix is the FORPE1 departure. We descend into our arrival airport via the KRKEE3 STAR (Albuquerque International), our arrival runway is 03 and our gate assignment is A8.

Froogles preview, interesting for GA flyers.

Chugged around in the pleasantly pressurised (but under no pressure!) Cessna 340. No special paint job for it tho.

Dear all, I'm the third member of AMA - Andras Meridian Airline and after MEBAR 2018 for me it's the second time I'm participating in the MEBAR. Thanks again for all the organizational work that' s behind such an event! As Toby already mentioned, other than last year we are using various aircrafts for this year's event. While my sim fellows preferred a Mustang, with respect to the extended range of the legs I decided to select an Aero Commander 690B Turbo Commander. Thorsten, the performing artist of our small virtual airline provided me with some nice nose art for the Turbo Com

The MEBAR always presents multiple challenges for me. First, there is the planning, choosing a region in the world and then designing a suitably challenging route. However, what becomes more of a challenge is choosing what to fly from my hangar of some 75+ individual aircraft that are suitable for the event. This year, I still couldn't get it right because I changed my mind after sending in my Pilot Registration. When it gets down to it though, I am a big fan of radial engines, and the Beechcraft Model 18 Twin Beech is one of my favourite aircraft, so my entry combines the best of both.

My favourite at the moment, the RealAir B60 Duke (Piston). I also happen to be flying a route from Iceland to South America in her, presently in the Caribbean
