Review of MiGMan’s World Tour
AboutReview by popular YouTube channel Sim Hanger Flight Simulation. The review starts at 6 min 39 secs. One slight correction is necessary, the flight plan IS accessible in flight by bringing up the default map display (default key 'V'). If you want to see the NAVLOG within MSFS, you will need the Microsoft Markeplace editions, which were not published at the time of this review.

AboutIt doesn’t get any better than this! Total realism as I flew under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Except for the bit about flying under the bridge. Previously to get anywhere near this level of detail for a particular locale you would have to purchase a 3rd party scenery pack and then suffer abominable frame rates. Not any more!

Wright Flyer, First flight 1903
About"Today we can easily imagine the exhilaration of that first flight, but we may not at first pause to consider the realities of the airborne experience: wooden propellors driven by bicycle chains, muslin-covered wings, an engine generating 12 horsepower. Takeoffs and landings are unpredictable at best, and the first successful flight lasted all of 12 seconds. The elegance of such astonishing success belies a crucible of self-sacrifice and daredevil perseverance."

AboutThis device solved the headache of updating firmware with my USB flight sim controllers. The headache being that when updating firmware it’s recommended to have only one controller plugged in to the PC. and I have seven. This meant moving my simpit and then clambering behind the PC, which in practice meant I never updated the firmware! Now I have all my USB sim controllers plugged into the Wenter, which sits on the easily maintenance accessible tray on my TrackRacer TR160, and I can disable all the unwanted controllers with a few button presses, update the firmware and then re-activate. The entire process of turning the USB devices on and off takes place in less time than I can type this sentence. In summary, a game changing device for power USB users.

Douglas DC-3 flight over Sydney, Australia, 2006
AboutOn an unusually grey Sydney afternoon in October 2006 MiGMan was a guest of Microsoft at the launch of their new flagship product - Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
The creme-de-la-creme of Australia's gaming journalists gathered at Kingsford Smith Airport, Sydney, and embarked on a champagne flight over Sydney Harbour in a C-47, the military transport version of the Douglas DC-3.

MOZA | HOTAS & Force Feedback (Haptics)
AboutIn 2024 this popular manufacturer of Car sim racing accessories made a move into the Flight Sim space with a sturdy looking Force Feedback joystick along with a split throttle and rudder pedals. It’s been my observation that car sim race racers are MUCH harder on their gear than flight fans, so it be interesting to see how and if the MOZA injection influences that aspect of build quality in our beloved HOTAS space.

Thrustmaster AVA
AboutWith the AVA line Thrustmaster have re-established themselves as top tier HOTAS manufacturers. The removal of the 'stiction' prone plasric gimbal which has been the bane of the Warthog since 2010, and the adoption of variable cams and springs on an all metal mechanism puts them squarely back in the game for hard core sim fans.
