Welcome!
In this website you can read about the various flight simulator enhancement experiments I have undertaken over the years. For a quick start, you can click the pictures below, or read the various chapters listed on the left side one by one. Enjoy!
After a long wait, we are all looking forward to this years FSWeekend!
Of course I will be present again with my motion cockpit, with some new tweaks
