The Big Red Baron

 



The Red Barron

Hey Gang! Or person.

Once again I have been absent from my post.

This time it has only been three years. I'm getting better!

Reading my last blog I see I was getting into flight simulators pretty heavy and guess what? I am still into flightsim. In fact that is why "The Red Baron" was born. Not only have I acquired more software like study level aircraft, live weather and such I also built this PC more or less just for flightsim. Needless to say I have been flying a lot.


My latest software is the very new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It is the most realistic scenery I have ever seen.

I also have Lockheed Martin P3Dv4.5 and P3DV5 as well as Steam FSX. So if I want bells and whistles with 3rd party study level aircraft I mostly fly P3Dv5 or 4.5.

Have a few beers easy to fly aircraft then Steam FSX is what I want. Although to be fair Steam has the same 3rd party study study level aircraft that P3D has but they have more basic aircraft with somewhat easy missions to fly so I don't have to think about it as much.

FS2020 is my go to for 3D scenery and their aircraft are getting better every day. More and more 3rd parties are adding to this awesome sim on fairly regular basis.




Well, that's about it from me for now. I know it's not much and all about flying stuff but I am working on uploading flight sim video's to YouTube and learning about GoogleAds to maybe make a dollar or two and thought it would be a good idea to revive my blog. I will do my best not to wait another three years to add content. 

Peace and Prosperity

P.S. I am still driving tractor trailers for a real job and I am as healthy as a 64 year old can be. 
Thank You for Asking.

Put Summer away and bring Winter out.

Well, I guess the end of Summer is upon us now.  Got to take down the pool, put away the badminton set, stowaway the croquet set , hide away the habatchi grill, batten down the boat or hatches or whatever it's called. In other words "Put shit away!!" Of course now that we have done all that we have to bring out the "winter shit".  Coats, sweaters,boots,scarves and things.  As a man I just pull them out of the closet and put them on when I need them.  Women on the other hand will make us men take everything to the cleaners.  Hell I just picked them up from the cleaners before I put them away last year.  But that's what women do. The only thing I am worried about is the NFL games and The Redskins. I wash my jersey at the beginning of the season and not until the end will it get washed again. Sounds nasty and can smell nasty but that is what we do!! I am rambling now so I'll be quiet.  Besides I have to take the clothes to the cleaners so I can brin

Who Inspired Me?

  Who Inspired Me? So, if you didn't know by now, I love flight simulation and being able to fly to places I never could or will be able to. I have always had a passion for flying ever since I was small. When I was ten or so I flew to Madrid, Spain then on to Gibraltar. It was awesome! Ever since then I have had the bug. Later in my late twenties I was fortunate enough to be able to fly a small Cessna 172 with a friend of mine. My bride to be and I flew to Greenville, NC with my friend Gene Olinger, who by the way was a flight instructor, to see my daughter who was staying with her mother. I got to fly most of the trip, it was amazing. Life sometimes throws us a curve ball and my good, dear, friend Gene passed away with leukemia and so ended my flying real plays. I miss him still today.  Many, many years later I went to a Rent-A-Center and saw something called a computer! After playing with it for a while I found out how to install games and found Microsoft Flight Simulator.  Thank

Gotta Love the Grand Kids.

It was a bright and sunny day in Virginia this past Saturday. A great day for a pool party. It was my grand daughters nineth birthday so what better time than to clean out the pool, spray on suntan oil and party with family and friends. She had her closest friends there and of course us darn adults. Hey, some had to cook the hot dogs and hamburgers. I have added a slide show so enjoy.
