What addons do I use: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Do I use Reshade or Nvidia Game Filters: I use the same Nvidia Game Filters for all my truck and flight simulators. My filters can be found here https://imgur.com/a/tJwTuWO.

How do I use Nvidia Game Filters with X-Plane 12: I followed this forum https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?...

Can I accept flight requests: Yes, please use this form https://forms.gle/LxcTocTSCH6MsgVE7. You can post a comment but I prefer using the form to keep track. Please consider the notes on the fields. IF I DON'T DO YOUR FLIGHT REQUEST IT MEANS THAT I DON'T LIKE THE CHOSEN AIRCRAFT OR THE CHOSEN AIRCRAFT HAS NO AUTOSAVE AND THE FLIGHT IS LONGER THAN AN HOUR OR THERE IS NO PAYWARE OR FREEWARE SCENERY FOR THE FLIGHT. IF YOUR FLIGHT REQUEST HAS A PAYWARE AIRPORT, I MAY PUSH IT TO THE NEXT MONTH IF THE SCENERY IS EXPENSIVE.

What software do I use for video editing: Free edition of Davinci Resolve

What camera presets/software do I use: I manually create my camera presets/views. I use the default camera systems for both simulators. On X-Plane, I have A Better Camera plugin specifically for airports that have bad tower views.

Where am I from: Nairobi

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

Which sim do I prefer: The one that is most suitable for the flight I want to do, considering the availability and quality of the addons. I love MSFS2020's visuals and X-Plane's aircraft handling. I am looking forward to MSFS2024 with the hope that it has the best of both worlds.

Do I know what I'm doing: Probably not

Do I welcome feedback: Constructive feedback is welcome, but remember that my combination of flight simulation software and hardware will never match the real thing. I can only be as good as the tools I'm using. I also don't aim for full immersion or accuracy and will forego some things for convenience. My real-world profession (software development) is demanding enough for me therefore I will always use flight sims for entertainment/relaxation rather than for aviation proficiency. I'm also dumber than the average human and have a few disorders that make things a little harder. That being said, many thanks go to the people who have tried to help me fly better. I may not always be able to follow the advice depending on the effort needed to apply it, but I try where possible.
