  • Bravo, Charlie, and Delta Airspace for Flight Simulation

    Here’s a quick primer on the main differences between Class B (Bravo), Class C (Charlie), and Class D (Delta) airports / airspace for flight simulation. I use this terminology in the live streams as common parlance, but I thought an explainer would be helpful. This video breaks down the key differences between these airspace types,…

  • My VFR and IFR Flight Notes Templates

    When I was flying I created custom notes pages to use on my kneeboard for notes when in the air. I’d print them double sided and cut them down the middle, getting four pages for every 8 1/2×11 sheet of paper. I use them in the sim, too, and here they are in case they’re…

  • Goodbye, Beamer

    Since I built the simulator (nearly five years ago) I’ve used a 100-inch projection screen and an ultra-short-throw 1080p LCD projector for the front display. I went with the beamer because at the time LCD / LED flat panel TVs large enough to provide a full field of view for both the left and right…

  • X-Plane 11.5b6 VR Results

    After yesterday’s settings tests I was excited to try the sim in VR today. I loaded up at Palm Springs , which with my “daytime” settings yesterday was giving me about 50 FPS on the ramp and about 30-35 FPS at takeoff in the non-VR home cockpit. Today in VR I was getting 70 (!!)…

  • X-Plane 11.5b6 Vulkan Testing Results

    , , , ,

    Yesterday I committed the morning to testing graphics settings in X-Plane 11.5beta6 with three objectives: (1) understanding the performance difference Vulkan gives me over OpenGL, (2) understanding the performance implications of the various graphics settings under Vulkan on my setup, and (3) finding my optimal Vulkan graphics settings under the current beta. As a reminder,…

  • X-Plane 11.5beta6

    I’ve been running beta 3 of X-Plane 11, deciding to wait on updating based on reports about betas 4 and 5. Beta 6 came out last night ohne-rezeptkaufen.com , and based on initial reports I decided to go ahead with the update. Initial impressions are that things only get better under Vulkan. Performance that yesterday…
