The Edgley EA-7 Optica is a British light aircraft designed for low-speed observation work, and intended as a low-cost alternative to helicopters.
This particular airframe was Number 006 and operated by Claymore Air Services. It wore corporate sponsorship from Manitou Fork Lifts.
This aircraft was one of 8 destroyed in a suspicious fire at the factory and home airfield Old Sarum in 1987.
Package includes a self installation executable. You will need to know the location of your Microsoft Flight Simulator Community folder to complete installation.
This is a Freeware product. Just select $0 for the price. If you want to set your own price to help support my work that is also super cool too! ?

The new sim has finally landed, and what a ride it has been. A lot has changed over the years (or even days) so I present an in-depth look at the Options found in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator.
What does each section control? How does it impact my sim? How do I cache my scenery offline? How do I set up my controls? What setting has the biggest impact on my sim performance? All these questions and more answered here!

Microsoft did WHAT NOW?!?!?!?
So in a bombshell that has rocked the simulation community, just hours after the end of FSExpo and hours into E3, Microsoft released the trailer to their reboot of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Having abandoned the genre in a less than stirling exit following corporate and community mismanagment (and some help from our own community to shoot ourselves in the foot) 7 years ago, the original pioneers of the flight simulation genreare returning.
In this episode of the Three Grumpy Simmers we distill down to the facts and try to minimize the speculation. We also reflect long and hard on where we are now and where we may head. We also reflect on some members of the community who seem detemrined to trash something on literally no evidence and counsel against being hasty in judgement (deja vu anyone?).

Galactica has been spotted high above Caprica at Caprica Terminal. Colonial Fleet arrives to investigate and retrieve the ship and her crew if possible.
So I have long been a fan of Battlestar Galactica. I had watched the original when I was growing up, but it wasn't until the reboot of the 2000's that I really found myself drawn into the universe.
I've played the boardgames, the PC games, the mobile games... even bought a Playstation to play the title on that platform! But it wasn't until Black Lab games cmae up with Deadlock that I found something I really enjoyed form first sight!
I've had this in my library almost since launch, but had never had a chance to play it because life. So finally I gave myself some time to really get immersed into the campaign and get involved in it, and you guys get to come along for the ride!
So three times a week I will be releasing episodes of the combined Deadlock (read main story) campaign along with the Broken Alliance campaign. I do not claim to be any good at this, but I really enjoy the universe so I hope you enjoy it to!
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about the game and the series!
This video isn't sponsored, I just really wanted to play it! Thanks for giving me an excuse to play, make videos of my disaster and learn some new tricks along the way!

The Three Grumpy Simmers are back once again to give their take on the seeming never satisfied quest for Realism and Immersion. With the recent release of Prepar3D v5, as well as the upcoming new sim from Microsoft, questions about this topic have once again bubbled to the for in major ways.
Each of us muse on the meaning behind each of these words, and discuss how to balance these quests with the realities of our world. They also go through some of the challenges faced in this never ending quest, and pose the question of have we gone to far?
No tire smoke was harmed during the production of this video.

Novawing24 climbs aboard an iconic Argentinian aircraft the FMA IA58 Pucará and puts it through its paces in an in-depth review.
Desgined to fulfil a requirment much the same as the vaunted A-10 Thunderbolt, the Pucará or "Fortress" was pitched as a more affordable but just as lethal alternative when fighting low and slow. Offering a large weapons capability along with armoured survivability, the British were concerned knowing they would be facing them in combat during the Falklands War. After the war following an in-depth series of flight and mock combat tests, it was determined that while still lethal in the hands of a skilled pilot, it was not the threat it had been assumed to be.
Seasoned developer Aeroplane Heaven have used the Pucará as the flagship of their new range of aircraft they have dubbed the CtrlEzy range. Offering an almost irresistible price point along with PBR texturing, they seek to offer a great virtual experience without requiring the user to know every switch position just to get an engine started.
Did they find success in this endeavour? Or will this be written off as a failed experiment in what could have been? Find out now!
