I’ve been catching up on some of the developments in the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator and one that was high on my list to check out was Sim Works Studio’s Kodiak 100. Released late in 2021, this release of the Kodiak into the sim has garnered plenty of praise so I wanted to see…

It’s been a while since I did d a bush trip in Microsoft Flight Simulator so the other day I embarked with a friend on a multiplayer trip. The trip, called the “Ocean to Desert,” is one of several trips that World Update 8: Australia added to the sim. Over the first part of the…
Flight Journal: First impressions of the DA50 RG

Flight Journal: Gold Coast to Sunshine Coast in the PA44
Now that Microsoft Flight Simulator is working for me again, I’m enjoying every minute of time that I can spend with it and I have some more flights that I’ve done recently that I want to share with everyone. The first is this very fun two stage cross country that I did with Carenado’s PA44…

Flight Journal: Never underestimate the Yak-7
The Yak-7 isn’t the best looking of fighter aircraft from the WWII era and because of that, it gets underestimated. Constantly. The other day I was out flying with Air Combat Tutorial Library creator Requiem for a couple of flights and I wanted to share a highlight sortie that showcased what the Yak-7B is pretty…
Flight Journal: M-2000C on the tip of the spear
As you may have been reading, I’ve been busy working on learning the Mirage 2000C’s systems in DCS World and flying the jet so that I can eventually take it into a combat environment online. That’s usually the ultimate test for me and that test came up earlier this week as I took to the…
