LATEST NEWS - SIMULATOR UPDATE . . .

THE NEW COMPUTER BUILD IS COMPLETED AND MSFS2020 IS INSTALLED . . .

So, as of today, 16th June 2025, I have repurchased MSFS2020 and with the help of the UK Microsoft Tech Support, gained access to the software and it is installed. World and City Updates have been installed and all seems to be well. The next task is to reinstall my Cessna C172 VAP AIR, the PMDG 737 and 777 Series of Jets and the FENIX Airbus series. I am on vacation from tomorrow for a short while with my son. On my return, the aircraft installs will be done and then I have to reset new Control Options for each aircraft. However, with the Simulator running, I do hope to resume producing review videos. Next month I plan to install MSFS2024 and begin reviewing products for that Simulator. Thanks for your support and patience. Have a great Summer. Lee

BRAND NEW MEGA COMPUTER SYSTEM ON THE WAY IN DUE COURSE . . .

So thanks to the great people at WIRED2FIRE, I now have a new system. Based on the AMD Ryzen 9 9050X3D CPU, with 64GB RAM, the GeForce 5070Ti 16GB graphics card, a 4TB SSD main drive, all with enhanced liquid cooling and Windows 11 installed.

I ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE . . !

Yes, this new PC will take time for me to get everything back as it was and install MSFS2024 as well, so I ask for your patience while I await it's arrival and then get this new computer up and flying! In the meantime, here below is a taster of the first video reviews that I will be presenting when the new PC is up and running . . .

HANNOVER, GERMANY EDDV by SOFLY - A REVIEW

Located just north of the City of Hannover in Germany, this scenery has it all! Loads

of animations and other features and all pretty framerate friendly too! Look out for my

review. More details HERE . . .

NASVILLE, TENNESEE KBNA by DOMINIC DESIGNS - A REVIEW

Military Airport, once again loaded with features that make full use of the MSFS 2020

technology. Watch out for the review in due course. More details HERE . . .

SCARBOROUGH, TOBAGO TTCP by WAUCHULA STUDIOS - A REVIEW

Sitting between Trinidad and Tobago, the beautiful airport of ANR Robinson international

has been completely redone for MSFS by the team at Wauchula Studios, even correcting

the field elevation which was wrong in the Sim. We take a close look. Review to come

soon. More details HERE . . .

I was asked recently during a live flight, about the use of the flight code VAP for my private airline and so I decided to post an ORIGIN page to
show the research I did to enable me to use this code from the now defunct South American airline that previously used it. So check out the
new ORIGIN OF VAP AIR page!

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS . . .

MORE REVIEWS TO COME !
Yes, watch for more reviews and Adventure Flights to come in due course. Also . . . .

I now have a page on Facebook and a new page on Instagram both dedicated to my channel. Check them out here -

Welcome to

VirtualAirlinePilot

WELL, WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT THEN . . . . . . ?

Hello and welcome to my site. I have been a home Desktop Virtual Pilot for over

30 years. Whilst I was once a former beta tester for Microsoft UK, way back in the

day and have been involved with flying full size, home built Flight Simulators as

part of a Team of Virtual Pilots raising money for charity, I now fly airliners across

the world for a small group of Virtual Airlines with dedicated volunteers. You will

find them listed on my ABOUT ME page. I have over 14,000 virtual flying hours

and these days, I am getting into video capture and editing. Flight Simulation lends

itself really well to this kind of thing and so, by way of these pages, I would like to try

and show you what goes on in the virtual flying world and give you a flavour of the Aircraft, the Pilots, the Scenery available for the main Simulation Platforms and to discuss bits and pieces in a regular blog. As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is now in it's third year, I will also be exploring the limits of the Simulator developed by Asobo Studios and led by the Microsoft Team who created the source of our obsession in the first place!! This site is a work in progress so please bear with me as I build the site and add content. Thank you for visiting ....

Scenery Highlights & Reviews

Hi There!

ALL ABOUT VIRTUALAIRLINEPILOT . . . .

VirtualAirlinePilot is a new project to build a Brand and a Private Virtual Airline. I will be show-casing video content, Adventure Flights and Reviews about new and current products for Flight Simulator 2020. I have purchased the Premium Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and so will be examining and evaluating this product and other related topics that both you and I find interesting too. As I get used to using my video software (Vegas Movie Studio 20), I will be producing product reviews and flying videos as often as I can. These videos will feature scenery products, as well as adventure flights featuring some of my more interesting landings and take offs from across the virtual world for my own Airline VAP AIR and the virtual airlines that I also currently fly for. I also have a very good friend and flying buddy, NEIL WARMAN, who got me into this video thing in the first place and with whom I fly online frequently! Check out Neil's YouTube Channel VIRTUAL FLIGHT VIDEOS for some great videos and streams! Videos will be available on my YouTube Channel with notifications and links to those videos posted here on my site too. Thank you for your kind interest in my project.
