BUILD JOURNAL: PART ONE When a Flight Simulator Experience Turns Into a Six-Axis Motion Simulator David Feetham went for a flight simulator experience after retiring. A few years later, he’s building a fully enclosed, dual-control Cessna 172 simulator on a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform — and planning to turn it into a business. There is a […]

Meet Liam Welcome to AvGeekHangar. I’m Liam, and I would like to introduce myself as the writer behind the add-ons and liveries section of this community. I have a fair bit of history with flight simming, starting quite young. That came from always having a love for aviation, which has now led me into a […]
Here at AvGeekHangar, we like nothing more than whipping out our credit card when the latest highly detailed Flight Simulator Airport scenery releases; we sadly have one of the most expensive hobbies there is. We also love freebies. If you have been living under a rock for the past 6 or so years, then you […]

Unfortunately we don’t get to see A350’s or 787’s everyday here so let’s call Manchester my […]

EasyJetSimPilot is turning one of his own flight-sim tools into something the rest of us can use Some of the most interesting flight-sim projects don’t start with a business plan. They start because somebody wants to solve their own problem. That’s exactly […]
From a SideWinder to a Spare Room Full of Airbus I have deliberately managed to build quite a lot of AvGeekHangar without putting myself front and centre, that’s not an accident. I’m quite a private person and much happier working away behind the scenes. But apparently you can’t create something called AvGeekHangar, fill it with […]
Building My New Flight Sim PC: Why I Chose These Specs Last Time, I talked about the PC I was using for MSFS 2024 and where it struggled. I could enjoy a flight at cruise, but take-off and landing often came with frame drops and stutters. I was also constantly closing apps to give the […]
