have been working on building out a roof that allows me to completely block out the outside world while in sim, and also get the overhead aligned a bit better
also added ipad holder but have lost my old ipad so yeah
#flightsim #homecockpit
Front windows are finished! and monitors repositioned and holy crap that was hard work but worth it
thinking a small roof next

Went out to Daniels Field last night for a "Pilot's BBQ" hosted by some EAA guys that are based at this little grass strip about 20NM north of KEUG.
I had two guys ask me about my sim flying, seems I'm sort of becoming the chapter's "sim guy."
I made this screenshot of my #XPlane #flightsim logbook, from 7/24/26 to tonight...to illustrate what I do with the sim.
Flew an A380, 747-400, SF-50, C172, RV-12, P-51, F-16, F-4 plus others.

Will FlightGear support Windows ARM?

Are you interested in a FlightGear Lemmy community?

started to build out a fire suppression panel replica for the sim. i got some translucent pla for the red lenses and am really stoked about how they came out. the LED’s come through nicely

as annoying as this thing was to build (and still is because its not finished, i don’t think it ever will be), i am so freaking proud of it - great project idea if you want something with microcontrollers, code, soldering, 3d printing, woodwork, spray painting and tears

got some quirky stuff to figure out and some programming to do, but, sim V2 lives!!

finished wiring up the annunciators for sim v2

I am building a V2 of my sim panel that is a bit more accurate now I have the various components to slot into it - look how pretty this looks!

FlightGear should be using AGPLv3 instead of GPLv3.

Remember PMDG for FSX once you paid? It's now gone!

Quoting
“PIRATING” IS A CAPITALIST FRAME
don’t be a cop.
If buying isn't ownership then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING isn't stealing
If buying doesn't create ownership, then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING doesn't destroy it.
SHARING is anticapitalist and antifa because sharing is caring.
Open quoted postfuriously building out v2 of my sim as quickly as my little 3d printer can print
trying to get everything to exact scale on this version

Made a second hop tonight from Greenland's southern tip over to Gander Int'l in Newfoundland in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, coming back to the west coast from the EU.
Five airliners (2 747s and three twin-engine wide bodies, maybe 777s?) had to line up and wait for me to lollygag in at 90 kts on final. I think one was honking his horn.
RON tonight here. Going to take the Courtesy Yak into town and take a Gander...

Still working my way west from the EU to the Left Coast via Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet.
Just landed at Narsarsauq, Greenland, at the far southern tip. First thing I did was put on my "Trump is an idiot" hat so the line guys would sell me fuel. They saw the U.S. registry "N" number and quickly ran the other way.
Gee, I wonder why?

Dropped off my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet at Napoli Airport last week, and rented a #Cessna 172 Skyhawk for a VFR tour of Sicily. Hit every airport on the island, and just returned to Napoli.
I parked exactly where ground told me, I think, it was broken Italian English. Came back for my jet and found a small problem, not sure but I think it will buff out.
Headed back to the states soon. Can I land in Greenland? We own it now, right?

Sitting on the virtual ramp in Inverness, Scotland watching the sun come up after flying from Iceland to complete a North Atlantic crossing in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet.
Going to bop around the EU for a while, but first I need to top off with Jet-A. Good price today on their virtual fuel here, $0.00/L which translates to USD$0.00/L.
I just need to find a pub and a pint or three.
