I made a day-one purchase of Drzewiecki Design’s New York City X product, which I had been salivating over for months, and ended up with a scenery add-on that brought my computer to its knees with the dreaded Out Of Memory error, which is what happens when too much is loaded into FSX at once […]

Flight Log – Medical Emergency
May 15th, 2013 · No Comments · Gaming
Having not flown since January, it was high time I got some stick time on something, and I figured the best way to do that would be to role play a bit with a scenario that didn’t require a ton of pre-flight planning (other than designing the small bit of extra scenery needed) and where […]
Flight Log – Hit The Deck
January 12th, 2013 · No Comments · Gaming
Took a new livery of the Bell 222B out from Lincoln Park (N07) this morning. I knew the weather was hanging low and hazy but decided to see how it went and just turn around and cancel the flight if I needed to. Gotta love the price of virtual AVGas – nothing! I started the […]
Flight Log – Turbulence
January 9th, 2013 · No Comments · Gaming
At last, I made time to climb back into the good old 172 and head out from Trenton-Robbinsville (N87) up north to Lincoln Park (N07). I’ve been planning to do this for over a month now, ever since I finally finished off Lincoln Park back at the end of November last year. Today wasn’t the […]
Flight Log – NYC Chopperin 3
January 5th, 2013 · No Comments · Gaming
Finally got around to finishing the flight I started last time I took to the air with the Bell 222B. That flight was interrupted after I landed at KJRA and the program crashed out on me. Because I had to reload back at KJRB, I decided to swing around the city and just head straight […]
Flight Log – NYC Chopperin 2
December 22nd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Gaming
I recently decided to take advantage of a windfall in income to snap up some FSX add-ons, both scenery and aircraft. We’ll get to the scenery some other time as well as other aircraft because right now I’m just focusing on one, the CeraSim Bell 222B. I’ve had my eye out for a good-quality Bell […]
Flight Log: A Jaunt
November 21st, 2012 · No Comments · Gaming
Plan-G flight plan (right-click Save As) Today I finally managed to get everything together for a flight. It’s been hard lately with so much work I’ve been doing between coaching, GameDev.net, MSE Airports and most recently airport design for FranceVFR. Not to mention occasional stunt jobs and pyrotechnical work. Another thing keeping me back was […]
FSX Heli Traffic
October 17th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Gaming
Manhattan Heli Traffic Information Page I spent a week learning how to utilize the payware FSX add-on Heli Traffic 2009, which I felt was a bit pricey at first but now feel it was money well spent. Beyond figuring out how to use the add-on itself was the challenge of creating my own schedules for […]

Flight Log – Diversion
September 10th, 2012 · No Comments · Gaming
I recently took a second look at Plan-G, which is a freeware VFR flight planning tool built for FSX. I had checked it out originally a year or so ago but felt it was too much extra trouble to learn and use when I really didn’t need any complex flight planning tools – I mean […]
Flight Log – World Trade Center 2
July 13th, 2012 · No Comments · Gaming
As I mentioned in my last flight log, this morning I hopped into the Dodosim Bell 206B and took off from the Downtown Wall Street Heliport (KJRB) to circle closer around the World Trade Center. No problems there – the wind was calm and conditions were clear around the city so after circling the WTC […]
