X-Plane.com's web site at the moment:

With so many ADSB receivers feeding data into Flight Aware, Flight Radar 24, and other aggregation sites I am not surprised to have stumbled onto this.

The PSXseecon Traffic injector grabs real world ADSB data and feeds it to your MSFS, Prepar3D, or FSX flight simulator for you to see and enjoy in real time.

I haven't found anything like this for X-Plane yet but if I do I'll be sure to post about it.

The count down has begun.

Jim Mumaw posted on YouTube a copy of a VHS recording of the SR-71 at Edwards AFB and the USAF Plant 42 from 1995.

He admittedly said the video hasn't held up as well as he had hoped.

A highway landing and those drivers don't seem phased.

I've created a Little Navmap aircraft performance file for the Carenado Bonanza V35 with the SimCoder's Reality Expansion Pack (REP) add-on.

You can download it from the File Hangar section.

I've created (to the best of my abilities) a Little Navmap aircraft performance file for the Carenado Bonanza V35 with the SimCoder's Reality Expansion Pack (REP) add-on.

For a long time I have been using Online Flight Planner, Flightaware and Flightaware Parser, RouteFinder, and others for my flight route planning but now I don't have to leave my own computer.

Adding to my arsenal is Little Navmap. IFR, VFR, high and low, departures and arrival procedures, custom waypoints, you name it and LNM probably has it. Best of all it includes exporting to X-Plane FMS format.

It connects to X-Plane as a moving map and includes a web server so you can manage the map from an iPad, phone, or other device.

Yes, I am excited about Little Navmap!

To counter the stay-at-home order I took a local flight this afternoon, KAPA to KBDU.
I flew my Piper Arrow III, I took the out of the way route.

For me it doesn't even have to be Scottish controllers!

Orbx is working on a high definition Florida scenery add on for X-Plane. Who else is excited about this? I wonder how quickly this is going to melt my graphics card!

I am happy with the Ortho scenery I put together, a long time ago, for Florida with high detail around the airports I was very interested in at the time. Having the detail that this preview shows is wonderful and I am looking forward to trying this when it is released.

There is a lot of hype around MSFS 2020 but I like the way X-Plane looks.

The results have been posted for the 2019 FlightSim Community Survey hosted by Navigraph.

Regardless of which simulator is most popular or the type of flying you do here at Simspotting we look forward to you sharing your enthusiasm of your hobby.

What are your thoughts on the survey and the results?

Are you considering flying around the Miami area in late January and early February and want to follow the restrictions real world pilots will have to endure? I'm tabulating sites and information that may be of relevance related to the security restrictions placed for the 2020 NFL Super Bowl. Feel free to add to this list.

Has anyone experienced this? How was it and would you recommend it?

“Our new winter hotspot — the Runway Chalet at The Pool Bar — is a cozy 1960s après ski-themed winter getaway, complete with a vintage fireplace! The heated and tented rooftop bar serves seasonal cocktails (try the Idlewild Hot Toddy: spiced rum and hot apple cider garnished with a cinnamon stick) and warming fare. Fondue, anyone?”

Another post regarding this from AOPA:

Forbes reports that the FAA is looking into BlackBird's method of business. I think this will be interesting to see how Black Bird fairs.

I have been flying the (X-Plane 11 default) Baron 58 (G1000 with REP) with the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and am having trouble trimming the aircraft. I am not sure if this is just an issue with the plane or the combination of plane and yoke.

I am unable to get it trimmed so that it holds altitude without having to have constant hands on the yoke. It seems to always want to climb or descent ever so slightly. Is this normal behavior?

Has anyone else had this problem with their Alpha yoke?
