Welcome! Watch a few videos before subscribing to see if this content works for you.
This channel is just my personal archive of flight sim highlights. I'm not a professional pilot or YouTuber, so don't expect perfect technique, polished production, or ultra-realistic operations. If that's what you're looking for, there are many other excellent channels that specialize in professional sim content.
This isn't a place to learn fhow to fly. Seek out qualified professionals who know what they're doing. I make mistakes (intentionally and unintentionally), and I'm just a casual simmer uploading his flight highlights. I don't want my biases and flaws to influence your decisions for sim purchases and would really appreciate if you don't ask me for recommendations.
This channel gets whatever energy I have left. I'd rather not have to stress about meeting viewers' expectations that go beyond the channel's scope.
Feel free to call me out if I say something wrong. I have my reasons for my choices. Please understand if you see me use an add-on or sim you don't like.
The flights are done during the weekend before they are uploaded. Therefore, anything I say in the videos will be outdated by a few days to a week.
Hope you enjoy the content for what it is.

Sim camera software: 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: Kenya

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

Do I know what I'm doing: Probably not

Preferred sim: The one that is most suitable for the flight I want to do, considering the availability and quality of the add-ons. I love MSFS2020/2024's visuals and X-Plane's aircraft handling. "I am looking forward to MSFS2024 hoping it has the best of both worlds" is what I said before and a few months after release of MSFS2024. I have come to terms with the fact that MSFS2024 is just an enhanced version of MSFS2020 with fixes, improvements and its own set of BS. I have lost hope that any sim will give the best of both worlds. That being said, I will take quality (unlike my videos) and reliability of features over quantity (like my videos) of features and visuals. My 50/50 preference is over and I mostly prefer XP12 now. I am always happier after a flight in XP12 than after a flight in MSFS2020/2024.
