New announcements and the flurry of torches being lit and pitchforks being grabbed has summoned the Three Grumpy Simmers back from their unintentionally long hiatus! In these latest episodes of the Grumpiest Podcast, Sergio, Belgeode and Novawing24 gather around to pick over the debris from the massive ordnance drop just a week out from Flight Sim Expo. We discuss our impressions along with tackling many of the questions that you (and us) have about the annoucmenet. We also wonder if someone needs to pick up the phone or be a bit more on top of their emails... This topic was apparently so big it needed two episodes! In this second part, we delve into that taboo topic of money and that infamous 10-year plan! Missed Part 1? Don't forget to listen in! Apologies for the somewhat poor audio quality... as you can see in the video my office is not exactly finished! Join Sergio and myself at Flight Sim Expo this year from June 23-26! Tickets still available from https://flightsimexpo.com/ Hope to see you there! Did you know we have merch?!

Rose Bay is a place not only for the wealthy in Sydney, but also an important part of the Golden Age of Aviation in Australia. In Pyramid8 Studio's first scenery release, they seek to capture some of this experience with their rendition of Sydney Seaplanes for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Once welcoming flying boats to Sydney Harbour during the Golden Age of flying boats, Sydney Seaplanes now serves as a starting point for scenic flights and day trips by seaplane in Australia's most iconic city. The team at Pyramid8 recognize that this location is more than just a dock in the harbour, and provide a great launching point for touring the city and the region. Fun Fact! YRAY is one of only 5 registered Water Aerodromes in Australia! Join me from sea level and from the skies as I check out this new release from Pyramid8 Studios in detail!
