Nicolas reacts to the actions of those fighting for justice in Minneapolis. Nicolas comes to the conclusion that with the pandemic, people of color being murdered by police across the country and the mainstream political parties being corrupt and useless, it is time to move past solely non-violent tactics.
While Nicolas is back flying again on their laptop they continue to focus on troubleshooting the hardware in their big computer (now dubbed Captain Cheapo Case). Will a new power supply fix the underlying problem? If not, what kind of processor and motherboard should be used with budget and nextgen sims in mind?
In this episode Nicolas enlists the remote flight training services of Mike from ZeroSideSlip.com to work on hand flying skills. Nicolas also talks about the impending move to P3Dv5 and their recent flight sim experiences. Check out Mike’s Remote flight Training services at ZeroSideSlip.com Be sure to catch Nicolas’ flight sim live stream FSRideAlongLive on Twitch. Streaming everyday during quarantine!
In this episode Nicolas talks about the P3Dv5 announcement, The FSElite v MetterSimulation debacle and the financial realities developers face that may result in upgrade charges. My thanks to Karlene Petitt for linking to my podcast. A warm welcome to new community members.
Some time spent in a flight sim chatroom inspires Nicolas to talk about where the flight sim community stands going into the new MSFS, what flight sim media should be doing (themselves included), the forthcoming price hike in add ons, the reasons for the forthcoming price hikes and other elements of flight sim marketing, development and development budgets. Hopefully it isn’t as dry as it sounds and proves interesting and informative.
In this episode Nicolas indulges in some academic philosophical thinking by laying out their ideal government (direct democracy with socialist values). They then point out all the problems and land in a somewhat hopeful nowhere
In this episode Nicolas takes the time to examine reformists thinking from FDR to Bernie Sanders. Ultimately they conclude that reformist thinking is a dead end. Much as they might want to believe in it.
In this episode Nicolas attempts to crystallize the philosophical difference between liberals and leftists. Upon doing this they realize that supporting Bernie Sanders requires a sacrifice of their core beliefs. A realization that must be explored on another episode due to server space limitations
In this episode I profess my new found love for Airbus in the form of The FSLabs A320. I also speculate about what Microsoft will do to get their market share back. Finely I spend some time wondering if being in the flight sim media game should be a paying gig.
In this episode I talk about what I am learning from the manual QuailityWings released for their upcoming 787. I also talk about where the 787 will fit into the fleet of my personal VA. Finally, I insult P3D user and talk about how I am going to milk my FSX investment for as long as I can. It is no doubt an ego thing on both sides.
In this episode we talk with Rob Burgon about his new job flying the 737.

In this episode I talk with Kalene Petitt about using P3D for home training by air crews. Delving into safety, we talk about what can happen to some crews at some airlines when the crew alleges safety violations or reports safety concerns to the company. In Karlene’s new book Flight For Sanity, Section 8 of Darby’s union contract is used to sideline her for mental health analysis. How could something meant to prevent another GermanWings accident be used to sideline pilots? And what implications ...

Well I was done with my US bashing. Or at least I was, until I made a self depracating joke and somone took it the wrong way. Now the can of worms is open again. Fox News thought it was mad at Paul MccCartney for he recent comments about Bush and his unfamiliiarirty with libraries. Just wait until they get a hold of this! The main topic this week? Education. It is the best social program we have in the States. Conservatives are very proud of it. So why do they find it so hard to support social h...
This episode I take you on a classic Nicnac trip in the Bonza A36 from my home airport KCIC (Chico, CA) to KSQL (San Carlos, CA). This is flight simulation at its best pure and simple. I live for simulated flights in beautiful planes such as these. So sit back relax and enjoy the biscuits as we ride to the bay area from the north Sacramento Valley. Due to limited production time the audio may be poor in some spots. If you complain enough I may edit an rerelease Go forth and email nicnacjak at gm...

Due to technical difficulties there is no picture or Vatware tra...
