I’ve been playing a lot of SEGA AGES G-LOC Air Battle on the Nintendo Switch lately which is an enhanced version of the original G-LOC Air Battle game that was released back in 1990.

Touch and Go on Arrakis – Microsoft Flight Simulator Dune Expansion Review
I love it when there are collaborations between Microsoft Flight Simulator and other brands. Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen the Top Gun Maverick content added which featured a lot of low altitude flying challenges with an F-18 – talk about great content as those challenges were mighty fun to do. I’m still […]
My First Flights with the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition Flight Stick
I’ve been playing aviation themed games and flight simulators since the 90s. Yet, rarely during that time have I spent it playing with a flight stick. Having been more of a console player during the late 90’s and 2000s meant primarily playing with a controller even though there were options available for flight sticks on […]

Capturing Flybys in Microsoft Flight Simulator with the Drone Camera
I’ve been playing the latest edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator for about 3 years now when it took off in 2020. Throughout these years I’ve used the drone camera to take plenty of pictures from my flights around the world and it certainly leads to a lot of great shots! However, as I was daydreaming […]
Now We All Can Land a CubCrafters XCub on a Helipad – Red Bull Bullseye Landing Challenge Brings Czepiela’s Achievement to Microsoft Flight Simulator
Red Bull is certainly associated with some pretty spectacular achievements when it comes to flying. Two years ago, Dario Costa flew a plane through Turkey’s dual Catalca Tunnels – known as the Tunnel Pass – and back in March of this year, Lukasz Czepiela landed a Carbon Cub on the helipad of Dubai’s Burj Al […]
Joining a Microsoft Flight Simulator Community Fly-In to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
Since the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) nearly 3 years ago, I’ve done pretty much everything possible in the game which includes landing an F-18 on a mountain top because why not!
