Now, if you are looking for something less complicated than FSX or XP-10, but much more fun than MS Flight… search no longer, I’ve found you the solution. Have a go at RealFlight !!! 
This stuff really looks like fun… AND you get something tangible with it…… a true-to-life remote control !
I bet this also beats my RC helicopter attempts……

Or it will be tomorrow when we leave the snowy white mountains to replace it for the usually drudgery that we call home……. or Holland.
We had a great 2 weeks here with mostly gorgeous weather, some horrible headaches (what else), MAJOR muscle aches in the beginning and freezing cold the first 2 days. Oh wait, who said we had a great time !?
No really, we did enjoy our stay again, but are now looking forward to other things. I will have the Aerosoft Conference next week, where I’ll be visiting in my new job as Editor-in-Chief (and Community Manager) of Computer Pilot Magazine, meeting my new colleagues. And next there’ll be a major effort in getting the new CPM website to become the center of the Flightsim Universe ….. *grin*.
Nina is looking forward to visiting our daughter Vivian and s-in-l Menno in Aruba…… last time before they return to the same said drudgery.
But before we get home I’ll have a meeting in Luxembourg with the new owner of Computer Pilot Magazine……. see you all soon again !

Sorry for being absent for a while. Actually, I still am. Nina and I settled in our Eagles Nest for a few weeks, taking in the snow, the sunshine, the sweat……. we’ve been skiing for 5 afternoons, been walking, and been relaxing as far as work for Computer Pilot allowed me.
Today we’ll drive down to Annecy. Haven’t been there since last Summer. Tomorrow we do one more afternoon of skiing in the fast increasing Spring-like temperatures (up to 20 in the valleys today !!!!), before packing up and heading home again.
I’ll make a stop in Luxembourg, to meet with the new Publisher of Computer Pilot Magazine, and the weekend after I’ll be in Munich at the Aerosoft Flight Simulator Conference. So, if you want to discuss CPM with me, meet us there !
Or, heck, just email me

I know some of you are really paranoid about the Internet and the Big Bad World out there.
Well, you’re right
And to prove it, here’s a great tool for you to install (trust me… oops) in your Firefox browser add-on group. After a while it will show you who all are following you when you browse the Internet. Sometimes pretty amazing, I can tell you already !
Oh, and you can read about it here !

There are some people you just have to like. George Carlin is one of them and it is so sad that he passed away a few years ago. Fortunately his legacy lives on in his books and on Youtube. Here’s one I stumbled upon this morning…. a classic !
