How do I use Nvidia Game Filters with X-Plane 12: I followed this forum https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?...
Can I accept flight requests: Yes, please use this form https://www.bravo77whiskey.com/flights. You can post a comment but I prefer using the form to keep track. Please consider the descriptions on the fields.
What software do I use for video editing: Free edition of Davinci Resolve
What camera presets/software do I use: I manually create my camera presets/views. I use the default camera systems for both simulators. On X-Plane, I use A-Better-Camera plugin specifically for airports that have bad tower views.
Where am I from: Nairobi
Am I a real-world pilot: No, not even in my dreams.
Do I have any real-world aviation experience: No
Do I plan to get a pilot's license: No
Which sim do I prefer: The one that is most suitable for the flight I want to do, considering the availability and quality of the addons. I love MSFS2020's visuals and X-Plane's aircraft handling. I am looking forward to MSFS2024 with the hope that it has the best of both worlds.
Do I know what I'm doing: Probably not
Do I welcome feedback: Constructive feedback is welcome, but remember that my combination of flight simulation software and hardware will never match the real thing. I can only be as good as the tools I'm using. I also don't aim for full immersion or accuracy and will forego some things for convenience. My real-world profession (software development) is demanding enough for me therefore I will always use flight sims for entertainment/relaxation rather than for aviation proficiency. I'm also dumber than the average human and have a few disorders that make things a little harder. That being said, many thanks go to the people who have tried to help me fly better. I may not always be able to follow the advice depending on the effort needed to apply it, but I try where possible.
