Interior Design Simulator? - The Three Grumpy Simmers - EP44
Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
Interior design is truly an artform... but what is it doing in flight simulation?
Novawing24 takes stock of his experiences looking over new products being released to the community through his weekly news video, the NovaWrap, and asks have developers lost sight of who they are marketing to?
Also... Sergio sidetracked us with talking about AeroFly FS4... so you can completely blame him for this episode being twice as long as planned!
United by the Power Of Grumpiness, the Three Grumpy Simmers are coming together at this years Flight Sim Expo in Las Vegas!
FlightSimExpo is one of the world’s largest dedicated flight simulation conventions. The event has welcomed more than 5,000 attendees to events in Las Vegas, Orlando, San Diego, and Houston since 2018. We’re excited to once again connect simmers, developers, exhibitors, and real-world aviators in Las Vegas and online June 21-23, 2024.
THE 2024 EVENT AT A GLANCE:
Friday, June 21 is the day for the biggest seminars and product reveals, featuring announcements from flight simulation’s biggest developers, plus an evening welcome social. Note there is no exhibit hall access on Friday.
Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23 feature a 40,000 sq. ft. exhibit hall with hands-on experiences that show off the latest in flight simulation software and hardware. Speaker rooms will feature how-to seminars on various flight simulation topics. Online-Only Registration will also be available to watch livestreams of the presentations and announcements from anywhere in the world.

THE FLIGHT SIMULATOR SKY IS FALLING! (Part 2) - Three Grumpy Simmers - EP42
Wednesday Jun 14, 2023
Wednesday Jun 14, 2023
New announcements and the flurry of torches being lit and pitchforks being grabbed has summoned the Three Grumpy Simmers back from their unintentionally long hiatus!
In these latest episodes of the Grumpiest Podcast, Sergio, Belgeode and Novawing24 gather around to pick over the debris from the massive ordnance drop just a week out from Flight Sim Expo. We discuss our impressions along with tackling many of the questions that you (and us) have about the announcement. We also wonder if someone needs to pick up the phone or be a bit more on top of their emails...
This topic was apparently so big it needed two episodes! In this second part, we delve into that taboo topic of money and that infamous 10-year plan!

Three Grumpy Simmers - EP037 - Ratings-What?!
Wednesday Feb 23, 2022
Wednesday Feb 23, 2022
The Three Grumpy Simmers are back to start a new year of Grumpy Nonsense with a topic about feedback.
Following an off-hand comment from a developer, the resident Grumpies look at rating systems, their positives and negatives and where responsibility lies.
We pick apart the current ratings of MSFS and ask the question why they are the way they are? Can platforms make a better system? Can we as users do more to help improve our simming experience? (Spoiler... Yes we can!)
Buckle in for an hour of whimsical nonsense that touches a few home truths for content creators and consumers everywhere!

Three Grumpy Simmers - EP36 - Sim Nations In Turmoil!
Thursday Nov 18, 2021
Thursday Nov 18, 2021
The Three Grumpy Simmers have been startled awake from their restful slumber on their front porches and return with a packed episode covering recent events from all the sim platforms.
From the announcement of X-Plane 12 and FINALLY a Tomcat for that sim, to the upcoming Game Of The Year Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator through the radio silence from iPACS and Lockheed Martin there is a lot of ground to cover. As usual we dole out dubious advice and give our at times uncomfortable takes on where we as a community are and how we conduct ourselves.
After a cat-interrupted diatribe, we also pay homage and thank those Flight Simulation Content creators that have recently called time on that chapter of their work. They were pillars and giants of our community, the like we may never see again. So we thank you all for your efforts in inspiring new generations and wish you all the best on your next chapters.

Drew "Bel Geode" Bolton has been a flight simulation enthusiast since 1986 and has been an active member of the community since 2005. A former virtual airline CEO, Bel has embraced many aspects of flight simulation, and understands how to connect with the community at large, through his YouTube channel, and various collaborations with fellow simmers. Bel Geode can be found often in FSX in his F-14 Tomcat "Valkyrie", in X-Plane in one of his many helicopters, or in DCS World in anything he can get his hands on, to make targets go "Boomflowah"!

Three Grumpy Simmers - EP35 - Of Consoles, Toxicity and the Flight Simulation Community
Wednesday Jun 30, 2021
Wednesday Jun 30, 2021
The Three Grumpy Simmers return with a new episode about an age old issue.
With the recent announcement of a launch date for Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox, the ugly head of tribalistic toxicity has raised its head fully for all to see. We have all seen this for years from the sidelines, but the levels that some in our community have sunk to are new. We hold a mirror up to our community and make some honest and uncomfortable observations.
The Three Grumpy Simmers return with a new episode about an age old issue. With the recent announcement of a launch date for Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox, the ugly head of tribalistic toxicity has raised its head fully for all to see. We have all seen this for years from the sidelines, but the levels that some in our community have sunk to are new. We hold a mirror up to our community and make some honest and uncomfortable observations. We wrap up with a call for each of us to change the narrative, to be the voices of positivity and not division. We are starting the #ThreeGrumpySimmersChallenge and challenge everyone to go out and thank a developer! Whether it be freeware, payware or something in between, we ask every viewer to give a constructive and positive review or feedback to a developer of one of your favourite or most enjoyed addons! We would love to see your comments! If you want to share them please link us to them in the comments on the YouTube video!
Don't forget to head over to Helisimmer's Channel for a weekly wrap of all news helicopter and BelGeode's Channel for some great fantastic adventures.
