This started out as mostly flight simulation and DIY cockpit construction. In the real world I have a PPL and 99 hours in my logbook. Most of this was on Cessna 150/152 and 172s, and mostly between 1993 and 1996. My early simulation videos feature Microsoft FSX. In the earlier live videos I am often using a TrackIR head tracker and running across three screens (3840 x 1024 or 4066 x 1024). Since summer 2017 I started running three 32" TVs, although that got a bit complicated when I started using View Groups in P3Dv4. There are a few X-Plane 11 videos too. Since August 2020 I have started experimenting with Microsoft Flight Simulator (a.k.a. MSFS 2020), so a few videos feature that sim. Time will tell where that will end up.
