February 13, 20251 yr Just a quick hello to say that I have loved all things flight related since a child. Did many hundreds of hours in the air with Paragliding in SA, UK, Spain and Portugal. I am 50 years young now so keeping it to the simulation in MSFS 2020 flying helicopters. Hope everyone is as excited as I am to stay airborne. Cheers Winston
February 14, 20251 yr Welcome to Avsim! My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
February 15, 20251 yr Hullo, from Cape Town as well! I've been involved with the Air Force Museum at Ysterplaat (FAYP) with the Shackleton Restoration, as well as helping to build a Shackleton Simulator. Nowdays, I'm flying P3Dv4.5, but my favourite is FS2004, doing a bit of Retro scenery & flying the low's 'n slows. Over the many years that I've been simming, I got a bit bored with the 'bus's & Boeings, & basically gave up simming, until I somehow found Garry Smith's Ford Tri-Motor Project site, so my simming has become all about Fun, Facts & Fiction, flying & driving a wide range of planes, boats & even trains in the sim. I'm running an ASUS A15 laptop, Windows 11, Ryzen 7, 500GB SSD, 16GB RAM & my sims running off a 2TB portable USB drive. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...

Hey that's awesome - I use Ysterplaat (FAYP) as my default take off in MSFS 2020 and I drive past there all the time. I must come and take a look at the Museum. Looking forward to the AirShow in Langebaan this March
May 4, 20251 yr Awesome - Cape Tonians by the truck load. I also just joined - got MSFS2020 on a special. Absolute greenhorn but was an ATC in the air force many many moons ago. Helps with the lingo. I see Ysterplaat from my office. That white DC3 - always wondering when it will take off one day. Getting to grips with the basics and got myself a cheap HOTAS. All lots of fun at the moment. Good to meet you all and keep it above the ground.
