  • And We’re Back

    It’s been almost four years since my last post. A long hiatus, but I’ll likely be posting again, at least for now. At some point I’ll share the whole story, which really isn’t that interesting. In the meantime, I’m in the process of updating the layout and look of the site, which will take a…

  • ORBX True Earth Southern California

    , ,

    I took advantage of the Orbx launch sale and yesterday downloaded the HD version of the new ORBX True Earth Southern California scenery package. It is excellent. Here’s a long video where I tour the visuals and consider the performance implications of TE SoCal over my prior homemade orthoscenery, with visits to Van Nuys buy…

  • VR Stream Testing

    , ,

    The other day I wanted to have some fun, so I loaded up the Colimata FA-18 in X-Plane VR and flew around the Salt Lake City area some. Performance under X-Plane 1.5beta3 in the sim was very, very smooth, yet I noticed that on the YouTube stream there were all kinds of stutters and judders.…

  • Flying The I-11 Rating On PilotEdge (In X-Plane 11.5beta3)

    , ,

    This is the I-11 rating on PilotEdge using X-Plane 11.5beta3. The IFR profile for passing this rating is to contact ATC on the ground at Corona, fly the Obstacle Departure Procedure, do at least one lap of the hold at the Paradise VOR, fly the victor airway to APLES, fly the VOR DME RNW 17…

  • Beta Update And A Recent Stream

    Testing of the new X-Plane 11.5 Beta 1 continues today. I spent some time with VR yesterday, and found it very finicky. But I think this is more about Oculus than X-Plane: since I moved to the Rift-S my Oculus software has been very buggy and unreliable. So much so that I’d pretty much given…

  • New Video: Olympia To Everett

    , , ,

    Simulated an IFR flight from Olympia to Everett yesterday in the home cockpit. This is over the ORBX Washington True Earth HD scenery buy cheap kamagra online , but you don’t really see much of it because the real weather (using ActiveSky XP) was poor. Route was OLM V287 PAE 7000 ft / RNAV Y 16R…

  • It’s Pretty Up There Tonight

    ,

    I crossed the three hours of night flight, the night cross-country, and the 10 night landings requirements off the list tonight. It was an amazing experience and a beautiful night to fly. Koupit Levitru v Praze

  • The PilotEdge I-1 Rating In VR (X-Plane 11.3b5)

    , , , ,

    One of the fantastic things about PilotEdge is the significant amount of educational resources they provide, one of which is the “I-Rating” series of training scenarios. I’ve already passed the I-1 rating on PilotEdge but thought it would be fun to fly it in VR (it’s an IFR flight to and from John Wayne using…

  • It’s Pretty Up There

    ,

    Was able to take a nice long flight on Friday and knock out the remaining minutes of my solo cross-country requirement. It was a beautiful day for flying. The 172 I fly was booked so I took the Archer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stBSkBZ4sIY Köp Levitra with Dapoxetine Receptfritt levitra usa

  • Orbx True Earth Great Britain South: The Future Of X-Plane Scenery Is Here

    ,

    Yesterday I was able to download and install (on my own dime, not as a promotion) the new True Earth Great Britain South scenery from Orbx for X-Plane. I had posted about this upcoming scenery earlier in the month, along with some Orbx screen caps. It looked fantastic, and in all candor this was an…
