  1. Wow; should I be brave and post about myself in here? Well; I guess I’ve started, so I’d better finish. My name is Dominic and I’ve been a keen flight simmer since the days of F19 Stealth Fighter by Microprose. SInce that time; I’ve slowly progressed from a 48K ZX Spectrum to an Apple Macintosh. Do people actually say Macintosh anymore? No? OK; to an iMac then. In a recent and rather futile attempt to relive my childhood days, I purchased a ZX Spectrum from eBay hoping that my life as I knew it, would somehow be seen again through the eyes of a young boy. The result? All I can say on the matter is that I failed terribly. As of today, my flight simming time is consumed by the two best civil flight simulators on the home computer: X-Plane and FSX. Both fantastic products in their own way and both deserving of an Oscar. I’ve always had a love for aviation and have many a fond memory of reading Commando comics under the covers at boarding school. As a child at Christmas; where most parents said I love you with a bicycle; mine said it with aviation books. Looking back on it now, it’s probably the best thing they ever did for me. Moving on a few years...... My wife (the boss) is strangely supportive of my hobby. I’m not sure if this is out of love for her husband, or because my flight simulator purchases seem to be equally matched by an order of female clothing! For her...not me Wifey adds a great deal to my flight sim experience and I love her for it. Her uncanny ability of creating turbulence in flight at just the right time is amazing; as is her role as a part-time air hostess; who never neglects her captains wants. When I’m not in the clouds pretending to be Chuck, you’ll find me in the classroom teaching. For ten years I’ve been a constant pain to my students, but it’s a pain they’ve learned to live with; well....I think they have, as I haven’t succumbed to any of their Christmas cookies! That’s about it really chaps; hope you’re all still awake Happy flying!! Dom
