Stormy landing at Taipei (RCTP)

Hey! At least I landed!

@glitzersachen @mjdxp well, #Unicomp still makes new #PC122 keyboards, and if you're into #FlightSim then Taran propably knows options that are cheaper (Logitech K120 + HASU USB Converter) for your use-case.

• Worst-case you #DIY your own #Keyboard with a #Teensy and #TMK / #QMK and configure your own custom board for a flight sim setup!

It finally happened!
Someone (namely @spacegamejunkie ), has finally filled a crucial gap in my life. The gap labelled "Podcast About Retro Flight-sims And Nothing Else".
This will be a monthly deep-dive into the origins of a genre very dear to my heart.
Thankyou to Brian, Chase and Denny for your idea, your passion and reading my mind! I can't wait to hear more.
And check your six!

I was watching fire tanker aircraft land at San Bernardino (KSBD) on runway 24, which has no standard approach probably due to big mountains being in the way. So I flew the BAe-146 (Neptune tanker livery) and made the approach in the sim. I landed a bit off center but otherwise stable. #XPlane12 #BAe146 #FlightSim #Aviation

Bae 146 aircraft just released for X-Plane 12. I’m tempted #XPlane #FlightSim #AvGeek #macOS

Okay, it's almost 4am... I should really go to b.... but let's first upload another set of floppy disks to the retro community! Here's "Aces of the Pacific", version 1.2 in 256 colors for MS-DOS. Perfect KryoFlux streams, working disk images and scans.

Have fun! ... and good night!

*sales person voice* If anyone lives in the Greater Seattle area and wants to get into flight simulator pits boy do I have a deal for you #seattle #DCS #buy #flightsim

We’re moving internationally and my wife who is an avid DCS F-18 pilot is selling her rig. Individually she paid about $4k for all the pieces. She was also laid off last week so we could really use the money

We just need it gone so there’s a hefty discount if you can pick it up yourself.

Items:
SimLab chair
Winwing F/A-18C Orion 2 HOTAS
Winwing TOP GUN MIP
SimLab Monitor Mount
Gigabyte M32UC 32” 144hz (160hz OC) 4K curved monitor
Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder
Stream Deck XL

Flew my hot-rod DHC-2 Beaver to the gravel strip at Lake Pillsbury. My landing was awful as I slammed my right wing into the ground. #XPlane #ThrandaDHC2 #FlightSim #macOS

Great flight hardware upgrade

This throttle controller is awesome. Plenty of controls at my hand without the need to look at something, important for flying in VR

First flight: BUD-VCE

When you’re not used to landing tail draggers (DHC-2 Beaver in this case), physics gives you the bird #XPlane12 #XPlane #ThrandaDHC2 #FlightSim #macOS

I need to see if X-Plane 12 needs updates to UBN/ZMCK (Chinggis Khaan Intl.) #Aviation #XPlane #FlightSim

Is there a really accurate #Cessna 172 for Microsoft Flight Sim 2020? The default ones really are not the best and need some serious upgrades.

Is there an instructor station software Microsoft Flight Sim 2020(or ‘24)?

Winter Storm Warning and 22F outside but I want to get IFR current (mostly because I don't want to do another IPC in a few months). No problem with this FAA approved BATD I have access to at a special low price.

Kind of a general shitshow in #Aviation #FlightSim today, was in an Air Assault PvE game earlier and people are bringing the brand new, essentially unarmed F-117s into the game #WarThunder #PatchDay
