Simulator Review Podcast

Simulator Review Podcast

Alexis, Elliott, and Andrew

We are a group of airline pilots and flight simulation enthusiasts, and it is our aim to bridge the gap between simulator users and the providers of quality flight simulation. With the Simulator Review podcast we want to bring you news from the simulator community, discussion on reviews of simulators, and discussion about in depth article topics. Also from time to time we will have special guests on from the simulator community and aviation to talk to us and share their experience and knowledge with us. We want to raise the profile of flight simulation and help providers reach a wider community by highlighting what is great and sometimes not so great with the venues and we visit, as well as talking about the latest developments. If you like what you hear, we just ask that you leave us a 5 star iTunes review which will help increase our ranking and get as many people as possible to listen.
