Woo hoo! I passed my first IFR rating on PilotEdge, the I-01 rating. It’s actually a very simple ILS approach procedure into John Wayne, but still, I flew it, and I flew it without autopilot (which made it a bit ugly at times). Video to come …

I get this question quite a bit here and on YouTube, and recently answered in the question thread for a post here, so I thought I’d add the answer here as well. This is slightly amended from the original. The reason is field of view. While the front window of the cabin is about 46″…

A different type of flight, with nearly constant footage from takeoff to landing with very few cuts and lots of narration. Here we fly from Beaver Marsh State (2S2 and a dirt strip), over Crater Lake, Oregon, to Prospect State (64S). This was a flight at the end of a long real-world day, and it shows –…

I used to hike the Windriver wilderness in Wyoming with my dad, who backpacked into this remote part of the US Continental Divide each for over 25 consecutive years. Hiking in from the west you’d go in through Pinedale. From the east, Lander. Here I fly between the two. Thanks for watching.

A question I get from time to time is how I manage to keep my virtual cockpit views from moving as the aircraft moves (for example, the virtual eye point moving back as the airplane accelerates, or to the side in a turn). Prepar3D (and I presume FSX) have a configuration setting called “Dynamic Head…

A viewer request flight to visit GE99 and 2NC0, both of which are mountain strips in the Southern USA. Beautiful locations and this one felt like an adventure! Thanks for watching. Details: – A2A Cessna 182 – AS16 and ASCA – REX Direct 4 textures – Orbx OpenLC NA – Orbx Vector

This recently from a reader, and I thought my reply (while not completely thorough) might be of help to others. I’ve made some minor edits from the original. I bought the Saitek Multi Panel and Switch Panel but I can’t get them to work with the A2A 182 or 172. I read about Spad.NeXt but…

As I noted in this post, Tom Tsui has been working on FIP engine gauges for the A2A 172 and 182. They are now done, and this mean Tom now sells a full set of gauges programmed to work specifically with these A2A aircraft. The noise you hear is the sound of many A2A /…

… at least for a few days. In the past 10 days I’ve been in or through Dallas, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Long Island / NYC, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis. Needless to say, I’ve logged no sim time (well, maybe 30 minutes) in that span, and have had less time for blogging about it. The…
