Howdy, howdy!

Gosh, it seems like I'm the last person to take a stab at this blogging thing!

 

Hello! The blog name and title refers to the difference between most airplanes you see today with the steering wheel in front (tricycle gear) and the ones that dominated in years gone by (conventional gear, aka 'taildraggers'). I'm a pilot and I happen to work on the Flight Simulator team. I did all of my primary flight training in tailwheel aircraft and am admittedly a bit snobbish on the subject of wheel placement.

 

Knowing that there are lots of people out there that use the product and even develop add-ons to it I thought it would be fun, cool, useful, whatever to start a blob to discuss some of the things I see and work on as part of the FS team. I don't know it this will be interesting or what I'll decide to cover--only time will tell. (And maybe if this gets picked up and commented on I'll get a few ideas to explore.)

 

Cheers, all!

    hey, well it got picked up.

    I have always been a fan of Flight Simulator, since way back in the DOS Days. Nope I am not a pilot, always wanted to be but never went for my licenses. Which is probably a good thing if you ever seen me in Flight Simulator, doing things like flying under the Eiffel Tower and so on. Anyway I have always wondered how you guys get so much acuracy on cities and buildings and things. There must be a lot of time spent on research. I could imagine the seatle area yes, but you have several roads and small towns and things in there now that are pretty acurate. One of my more favorite things is when I was a kid, my mom's boss was a pilot and would fly me around occasionally in his cessna out of my home town, which is a tiny airport in Indiana. Now airport locations I can guess you know from FAA charts and so on but matching up roads and buildings and stuff even lakes and small rivers.

    Hello !

    I'm glad I found your blog, I hope you'll give us some insights on the technical parts of the simulator ;-)

    That would help me work on mine hehe ;)

    Keep up the good work !

    Well, this is a 2 fold post. First I have never blogged, and am trying to figure out this sites blogging technique works, and secondly, to have the chance to voice my opinions on all things MS flightsim is too good an opportunity to miss.

    When I figure out the etiquette and blogging ways, I fully intend to be an active participant.
