  1. 🚀 Oh joy, another GitHub hero has graced us with their *entirely necessary* flight simulator written in a bespoke programming language. Because clearly, the world was desperately lacking in homemade simulators that nobody asked for. 🤦‍♂️ The only thing taking off here is the delusion of grandeur. ✈️

  2. it's so fucking cool that i found a helicopter for microsoft flight sim 2024 that is both compatible with VR stick control (so i can fly with 100% realistic body position) and has a livery for our local TV helicopter (that got sold off, sadly). seemingly small, tedious things to the developer like making a bunch of liveries of real-life helicopters  can be a huge thing for users like me.

    my dad was in TV and he knew the guy who flew this helicopter really well, and was always amazed at his skill. he would have enjoyed this at least as much as I do.

    helicopter is CowanSim 206L3. it seems basically all of CowanSim's helicopters are fully VR capable. happy to give out recommendations, i bought all of cowansim's helicopters lol - they were on sale on the official marketplace as of yesterday.

  5. Just being a virtual pest to the virtual ATC by flying from Centennial to Denver International for a touch-and-go and back. On the return trip, I was given the left downwind for runway 35R. A left downwind for a right parallel runway? No thanks. I choose life. I flew the right downwind. The fake ATC didn't seem to mind.

  6. Muy bueno el Piper PA-38 Tomahawk. Es nervioso como el verdadero. Bastante logrado y divertido de volar en #Flightgear. #Linux #flightsimulator #foss
    El avión se consigue en github.com/awall086/pa38 por $0.

    Are used to love computers back in the 90s. Most of my friends and I were into some form of programming, be it #Basic or #Pascal.

    Computers were fun in those days. I used to be a structural engineer and I would look forward to Monday mornings after a weekend of beavering away at some program that helped you to design retaining walls or something or other.

    My friends would be truly amazed and bring out their amazing programs for the design of reinforced concrete beams etc. Little did we know that about 1000 other engineers and techno people all over the world had spent their weekends coming up with the same thing.!

    Games were fun too: #SpaceInvaders, or my favourite was #Snipes, developed by some engineers at Cisco I think although I could be wrong. #DukeNukem , #Lemmings and Microsoft #FlightSimulator used to be fun too. But after that it all start to fall in a bit of a heap.

    Oh, I didn’t mention #Myst. That was great too and sadly myst!

  16. Tonight, I'm having an absolute blast playing around with Microsoft's Flight Simulator 4.0 and its "Experimental Jet Aircraft" from the "Aircraft & Scenery Designer" expansion.

    Seeing this old game, which is so dear to my heart, running super smooth in full SVGA resolution and with all of this extra in-game content makes my inner 12 year old jump up and down from excitement! This is what retro gaming is all about!

  18. It's sunday night before another work week. I'm spending the last few hours of the day playing around with the "Sound, Graphics & Aircraft Upgrade" for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 4.0. This definitely looks like a serious upgrade... FS4 in 800 x 600 SVGA. Astonishing!

    Thanks again to @Telev for his generous upload! 😃

    It was a nice and sunny day the year 1982 Vincent's mother has made sandwiches for us the three of us who are going to play flight simulator. Vincent warned us that the loading time of Flight ✈️ Simulator was incredibly long, however since we were getting sandwiches, of which the bread 🥪 was made by Vincent's mother, with roasted chicken, that was made by Vincent mother, it was all fantastic. Vincent went to a very odd looking cassette recorder. Since I had already played flight simulator before, I wondered why Vincent went to a cassette recorder. It was a datasette, horrific cassette recorder for the Commodore 64 I had heard of. When it's hat became misaligned the datasette could not even read nor write anything.

    Vincent clean the head of the data set carefully with 90% alcohol made by Mariënburg. He took out an original cassette with flight simulator by subLogic written on it.

    He give the Load command for the datasette Load *,1 and press play on tape came on the screen of the Commodore 64.

    He then pressed play on tape and said loading time about 4 minutes. The loading commenced; we were eating fantastic sandwiches; subLogic didn't use a turbo loader, so we had to wait a total of 7 minutes before the simulator was loaded

    3.4 minutes for the initial load and then the rest for the final load since the whole 64 KB of the c64 was assigned for the sim.

    At a certain Point in Time I heard the typical sound of the Piper Cherokee Archer slowly spinning up and reving idle.

    Flight simulator had loaded in 7.35 minutes.
