MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR TO GET DLSS 4.0 SUPPORT, HOT FIX & ANOTHER UPDATE . . .
With Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 well established, the new version of our favourite Flight Simulator is getting some serious upgrades coming very shortly! With DLSS 4.0 support, you can expect some serious frame rate improvements, which will also work for MSFS2020. This newer technology will benefit almost everyone and could be very good if you are thinking of buying one of the new 5000 series NVidia Graphics cards. More details about the Hot Fix can be seen HERE and details of the DLSS 4.0 utility can be found HERE . . .
MK STUDIOS TO RELEASE DUSSELDORF IN Q1 AND MSFS2024 DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES . . .
Developer MK Studios is set to release Dusseldorf Airport in Germany (EDDL) for MSFS2020 in the first quarter of 2025. And they have confirmed that their next release will be Seattle Tacoma airport (KSEA). On the MSFS2024 front, the developer continues to work on compatibility issues and they intend that current MSFS2020 sceneries will receive updates, balanced with new products for the MSFS2024 version. More details can be seen on the FSELITE News page HERE . . .

OULU, FINLAND (EFOU) by M'M SIMULATIONS - A REVIEW
With at least one good scenery of Oulu in Finland, freeware, we take a look at the new
pay ware version from developer M'M Simulations. With both a GSX Profile and a
scenery version available for MSFS2024, this could be a good purchase. We check it
out to see how good it really is. More details can be seen over at the ORBX site HERE . . .
CAYENNE, FRENCH GUIANA (SOCA) by SLH SIM DESIGNS - A REVIEW
Heading to South Central America this time, we take a look at the new scenery of the
airport of CAYENNE, FÉLIX ÉBOUÉ Airport in French Guiana. Created by developer
SLH Sim Designs, this adds yet another airport for an area of the world not visited that
often in Flight Simulator. With a GSX profile and a version for MSFS2024 available,
this also, could be a really good purchase for those interested in exploring this region.
More details from their product page HERE . . .
SEYCHELLES (FSIA) by CAELUS AERIAL - A REVIEW
Nestling quietly in the Indian Ocean, is the popular holiday resort of Mahe in the
Seychelles Islands. With a pretty good version out there by FSDG, covering the
airport and the island, we check out this version of the airport to see if it is better or
worse and to see what this scenery adds to our favourite simulator. More details can
be found on their product page HERE . . .
COMING SOON . . .
More videos each week and also some Adventure videos from my Airline flights and the World Tour '24 . . .
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was asked recently during a live flight, about the use of the flight code VAP for my private airline and so I decided to post an ORIGIN page to
show the research I did to enable me to use this code from the now defunct South American airline that previously used it. So check out the
new ORIGIN OF VAP AIR page!
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS . . .

WELL, WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT THEN . . . . . . ?
Hello and welcome to my site. I have been a home Desktop Virtual Pilot for over
30 years. Whilst I was once a former beta tester for Microsoft UK, way back in the
day and have been involved with flying full size, home built Flight Simulators as
part of a Team of Virtual Pilots raising money for charity, I now fly airliners across
the world for a small group of Virtual Airlines with dedicated volunteers. You will
find them listed on my ABOUT ME page. I have over 14,000 virtual flying hours
and these days, I am getting into video capture and editing. Flight Simulation lends
itself really well to this kind of thing and so, by way of these pages, I would like to try
and show you what goes on in the virtual flying world and give you a flavour of the Aircraft, the Pilots, the Scenery available for the main Simulation Platforms and to discuss bits and pieces in a regular blog. As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is now in it's third year, I will also be exploring the limits of the Simulator developed by Asobo Studios and led by the Microsoft Team who created the source of our obsession in the first place!! This site is a work in progress so please bear with me as I build the site and add content. Thank you for visiting ....
VAP AIR - My Virtual Airline
Scenery Highlights & Reviews
Hi There!
ALL ABOUT VIRTUALAIRLINEPILOT . . . .
VirtualAirlinePilot is a new project to build a Brand and a Private Virtual Airline. I will be show-casing video content, Adventure Flights and Reviews about new and current products for Flight Simulator 2020. I have purchased the Premium Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and so will be examining and evaluating this product and other related topics that both you and I find interesting too. As I get used to using my video software (Vegas Movie Studio 20), I will be producing product reviews and flying videos as often as I can. These videos will feature scenery products, as well as adventure flights featuring some of my more interesting landings and take offs from across the virtual world for my own Airline VAP AIR and the virtual airlines that I also currently fly for. I also have a very good friend and flying buddy, NEIL WARMAN, who got me into this video thing in the first place and with whom I fly online frequently! Check out Neil's YouTube Channel VIRTUAL FLIGHT VIDEOS for some great videos and streams! Videos will be available on my YouTube Channel with notifications and links to those videos posted here on my site too. Thank you for your kind interest in my project.
