Three Grumpy Simmers - EP36 - Sim Nations In Turmoil!

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.
