Well, I blame James Hayden, the star of my Hayden’s World book series. In the stories, he’s an awesome pilot, and it’s hard to write about an awesome pilot without learning a thing or two about airplanes. What started out as curiosity evolved into hundreds of virtual flight hours in X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Both X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator have vibrant communities of talented fans who create both free and payware mods for the sims. Now that I’ve made over a hundred YouTube videos, it seems easier to list them all in one place so you don’t have to hunt and peck to find your favorite mod.
While you’re here, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. If you enjoy sci-fi stories about pilots, why not grab the first story in the series, 43 Seconds, for free? It’s a fun short story that takes about twenty minutes to read, and is about a pilot willing to risk everything for a shot at the stars.
