Tempering Your Expectations (Part 1) - Three Grumpy Simmers - EP39
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Those Grumpy Simmers are back for more grumpy conversations around the Community's Expectations and are they justified .
Following the release of X-Plane 12 Beta and the latest World Update to Microsoft Flight Simulator, the Grumpy Trio assemble to reflect on the wide and varied community reactions and ask some outrageous questions.
This topic was apparently so big it needed two episodes! In this first part we review some community reactions to X-Plane 12's launch and wonder if we all read the sticker on the box...
Join us for Part 2 coming soon here!

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.

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.

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!

It has been a tumultuous time for the flight simulation community, and there have been many disturbances in the force.
In a special two part episode the Three Grumpy Simmers return to tackle tales of Piracy, Theft and total disrespect for you the virtual aviator.
In Part Two of this episode, the Three Grumpy Simmers take a long hard look at the Fall from Grace of what was once a highly regarded developer Captain Sim following the release of their 777-200 for MSFS. We ask why it happened and what does it mean for all of us as a community.
Please note this episode was recorded BEFORE the "livery-gate" saga erupted, so this episode purely deals with their conduct and attitudes with releasing the product in the first place.
