Episode 18: Flight Sim Special, MSFS 2020 Review

People have been playing flight sims for decades. For those without the means to fly the real deal flight simulators are the best way to get that feeling of taking to the air and cover all sorts of aviation from the smallest Cessnas, the fastest fighters to the biggest Antonovs. It's long been a very niche genre of video gaming and at the most-in-depth end an expensive hobby as well, but the new Microsoft Flight Simulator has taken the world by storm and opened it up to a huge, new audience. Nick and Sam have been playing it a fair bit since release and give their review of it (spoiler - we love it), and we also chat with Dan about the flight sim world in general.

The UK Airshow Review Podcast is an informal chat between the UKAR writing team that originally came about as a response to the effects that the COVID-19 crisis had on the UK airshow scene. We talk about our thoughts and feelings on the British airshow world, invoke memories and reflections from our experiences of the airshow and aviation hobby and offer informed - and not so informed - opinions on the goings-on in the industry.

We also host the series Display Frequency, some nine episodes of incisive, professional interview and analysis of the airshow industry hosted and produced by former UKAR Staff member Dan O’Hagan, a global sports broadcaster and Senior Commentator at the Royal International Air Tattoo from 2009-2012.
