  • Cardiff, capital of Wales, United Kingdom

  • Using only one flight plan from Europe 4, I spent a fun filled week exploring sunny Cardiff, Wales.

  • Air Intercepts

  • In these videos I went on a flight from 'MiGMan's World Tour' and by chance was asked to effect an air intercept. *** NOTE *** The chances of finding aircraft to intercept depend on your sim traffic settings. They are not programmed as part of the flight plan.

  • Air Show

  • Create your own air shows! This is even more fun in those aircraft which carry smoke onboard.

  • Airport Spotting

  • With most of the world's 42,000 airports being modelled in Microsoft Flight Simulator you can see the potential. But where to start? To help you out I have created flights out of and around many of the International Airports and also a good number of flights which either take off from or fly over Bush Strips.

  • Coastal flights

  • One of the most picturesque and relaxing flights you can take is a coastal flight. Keep the blue on one side and the green on the other and you won’t get lost!

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in Microsoft Flight Simulator

  • "The CFD currently proposed uses a default of 20 x 20 x 20 cubic voxels that englobe the aircraft. When enabled, the simulation will then solve a custom version of the Navier Stokes equations that includes upwind advection solving designed to cope with high fluid velocities. The CFD is solved over each of the voxels by the CPU at a rate of 100 times per second with three global passes per iteration. The load is spread over 5 different threads for minimal cpu impact." - MSFS SDK, 2023

  • Crop Dusting

  • Crop Dusting is one of the many demanding and niche activities in the world of aviation. We can simulate this in Microsoft Flight Simulator by using aircraft which have the ability to lay smoke.

  • Low Speed Handling --/o\-- Test Pilot for a Day in Microsoft Flight Simulator

  • It's both fun and worthwhile to explore the slow end of the envelope in your favourite aircraft. Worthwhile because you will be in this part of the flight envelope on every single landing.

  • Open cut mines are a great aid to visual navigation and can even be flown into in a helicopter. It may be possible in a STOL bush aircraft, thought that's something I have not attempted (yet).
