So today I decided not to wait for good weather to fly and just go out in whatever conditions presented. Turned out that things were a bit crummy around where I was flying, but not horribly so. I began at Martha’s Vinyard (KMVY), where I last flew this past weekend. Such a beautiful place – […]

Flight Log – KTEB to KMVY
September 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
Today I took my longest flight yet – almost three hours in the air. I wanted to go to Martha’s Vinyard (KMVY) because it is a destination I’ve flown to many times before in past iterations of Flight Simulator, but I didn’t want to take just a simple direct flight there. I have VFR scenery […]
Flight Log – Midnight Manhattan Shenanigans
September 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
I decided to take one more flight around Manhattan (for now) – the only problem was that my plans to do so during sunset were ruined when I got called in to coach at the gym, and by the time I was able to fly it was just past midnight. Obviously there are sound abatement […]
Flight Log – Manhattan Heli – Success!
September 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
After my last attempt to pilot a helicopter around Manhattan ended with me in the Hudson due to an engine failure, I decided it was time to try again. That, and it was a beautiful day out and I had some time where I knew I (probably, most likely) wouldn’t be interrupted. So I got […]
Flight Log – Messing with scenery
September 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
I’ve been spending all my spare hours these past two days painstakingly re-creating KEWR to match my photo-realistic ground scenery textures, using a program called FSX Planner. It’s the first scenery manipulation I’ve ever done in Flight Simulator and I know there are a couple options out there to use when mucking about with airport […]

Flight Log – VATSIM is a go
August 30th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Gaming
My helicopter flight around Manhattan was done without the built-in simulator ATC because it wasn’t properly recognizing that I was in a helicopter. I said at the time I didn’t want to bother with VATSIM, but I quickly changed my mind when I realized I would end up using it sooner or later – so […]
Flight Log – Manhattan Heli… Splash!
August 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
This morning I was up early again and had some time to kill before the day’s planned activities, so I decided to hop into the Cessna 172 to fly up north to an airport that could give me a chopper to take over Manhattan later on in the day. Consulting Sky Vector, I found that […]
Flight Log – Sunrise jaunt
August 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Gaming
It’s been quite a while since I’ve logged any time flying. Mainly because I’ve been playing other games, also because after upgrading from XP to W7 late last year I never got around to fully getting FSX set back up and running. But now everything is back in working order again, finally – so I […]

Interesting emails
December 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Personal, Software
Two emails dropped in my Inbox this past week that were rather interesting. The first regarded Galaxy Conquest, an old game I worked on with some friends back when Blade Edge was considered to be a software company. The guy apparently owns the copyright to Galaxy Conquest, which he was planning to make in an […]

Flight Log – 4N1 to KBLM
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Gaming
Today’s flight was completing the loop I started two weeks ago when I took off from KBLM and traveled south down the New Jersey coast to Cape May for an arrival at KWWD. Now that I’m way up in north Jersey right by the New York border, I needed to get back to KBLM but […]
