While I am still endlessly thinking of rebuilding my home cockpit, Erik Dannau in Panama is about to complete his Space Shuttle project.
Last weekend, Erik “drove” his ship to a nearby airport for photo-shooting in coordination with the country’s Regional Aeronautics Director. He sent me some photos and a funny story about the shooting: 
He said, Continue reading
Dear all,
Please note that due to the summer heat, my broken down graphics card and cockpit rebuilding in progress, my response to emails and comments in these two months may be slow.
Virtual Reality (VR) is no doubt the hottest topic among game developers and players these days. Last Sunday, I spent a few hours playing FSX-SE with FlyInside on my son’s HTC Vive setup using the “long-deserted” Eclipse Yoke digged up from my storage.
Wow…was my immediate response after entering my first fight over the Friday Harbor in FSX-SE, while I was physically sitting in my son’s living room with the huge VR goggle putting on my face. Continue reading
Recently purchased the Aerofly FS 2 on Steam. It is amazing in graphic rendition and outstanding in aero-dynamic and physic performance.
On the good side, it proves itself to be one of the directions where the future flight simulator should be heading. On the bad side, unfortunately, there is still a big room for improvements before it can turn itself from a niche product to a real competitor to FSX, Prepar3D or X-Plane.
Even worst, my GTX Titan card Continue reading
Although there are still some fine-tunings to do, my computer is in general up and running again after a few days’ reinstallation and updating.
Over the rehabilitation process, I had a chance to tidy up my system a bit and get rid of many useless stuffs from my SSDs. I guess it is one of the good things I get from the broken computer.
Like many others, I have Multicore Next and P3D Fiber Accelerator from FSPS (Flight Simulator Platform Solutions), which I occasionally use for testings and other purposes. During a recent search for Continue reading
I’ve been (still am) focusing a lot on developing new gauges for FIPs in the past 12 months, which inevitably reduces my already limited time on exploring new fun to add to flight simulation. A friend, probably he doesn’t want to be named here, has created a pretty nice blog — On The Glideslope — that in a way supplements what I’ve missed.
He says, “You can learn an awful lot from the people who have come before you.” Actually, it’s also true to learn from others who come after you as well. We, individually, are too small to cover all aspects in the flightsim world.
