About

My  two passions in life were the aviation and photography. I practiced both of them, but as private pilot in life,  i had to abandon to fly for some medical reasons. I found in the simulation, during the years an another kind of peacefull entertainment.  I started  in past with the Windows Flight Simulator but when i discoverd X-plane in beginning i was seduced by this simulator especially the feeling and behavior of planes that i found more realistic. With years the visual quality of flight simulation improved and witht the latest version X-plane 11 the light managment was excellent.

Like many persons into this world of simulation, i started to increase the reality of this simulator with a community of pilots and controlers  to reproduce the audio communications, relationships between the pilots and controlers and have a kind of ‘life’ on airports. That’s the main reasons why i choose finally IVAO (even if i am still member on VATSIM). On IVAO network i enjoyed to practice the Airliners and all the procedures that we could find on airports.

After many flights on medium or heavy airliners the routine start to be settled and i decided to explore some tours available on IVAO. I found the ones from Switzerland division very interesting, with potential nice regions and various destinations not only constrainted into one country !  With all the applications, add-ons available into the flight simulation community I started to use photo realistic environment especially when the geographical regions can be interesting this is why I started to use Ortho4XP to embed in my simulator a more realistic environment once again (in addition of many others X-plane addons to increase the life and services that we can find into airports).

When i started to follow some tours and report each of my trips, i got the idea to detail my reports and make them more realitics. Afterall we are practicing a simulation and we know all that the simulation doesn’t only start while the simulator is running, but also before with a preparation more or less long. That’s why i created this blog to share these reports and create a journey of a virtual pilot.
