Hi everyone, I’m Harry, the person behind AeroHarold, and I’m really excited to be joining the AvGeekHangar community. For my first piece, rather than jumping straight into specifications, benchmarks or individual pieces of hardware, I wanted to properly introduce myself, explain where my interest in aviation and technology comes from, and give you an idea of […]
From Mac to Flight-Ready PC: Follow The Flight Director’s Journey Meet The Flight Director, one of the contributors joining us in the Technical Hangar. For the past year, The Flight Director has been doing something a little unusual in the flight simulation world – running X-Plane 12, creating content and even streaming from a Mac […]
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 […]
My Previous MSFS 2024 Setup: Performance, Settings and Where It Struggled Before getting into my new PC build, I wanted to show what I was using before, how it actually performed and why I eventually decided it was time to upgrade. I’ve got around five years of experience with PCs and building them, and I’ve […]
There are some bits of flight simulation software that almost every simmer knows about, even if they don’t necessarily use them every day, and MobiFlight is probably one of them. I’ll be upfront from the start: I don’t use MobiFlight very much these days. Most of the hardware in my current setup comes with its […]
For those of you who don’t know me, hi — I’m known as The Flight Director. I’ve been an aviation enthusiast for as long as I can remember — always fascinated by the flight deck. To me, it was this special room full of switches, dials, and indicators that looked like a spaceship. If you […]
Scrolling through my social media feeds and YouTube videos, I’m bombarded with DLSS 5, NVIDIA’s fancy AI rendering technology that uses neural rendering to inject games with photorealistic lighting and other enhanced details. I’m not going to dig into the technology or copy and paste a load of info from NVIDIA’s press notes, but rather […]
Perhaps you’ve watched a cockpit video on YouTube and wondered what it would be like to fly the aircraft yourself. Maybe you’ve seen one of those incredible home cockpit setups online. Or perhaps you’ve always loved aviation but assumed flight simulation was complicated, expensive or something reserved for people who already know the difference between […]
