Jonathan Beckett

Flight Simulation and Aviation Enthusiast

Hello, and welcome to my corner of the internet!

I’m Jonathan—a software developer by day and virtual pilot by… well, every other available moment. When I’m not wrestling with corporate codebases, you’ll find me attempting to fly all manner of simulated aircraft in a questionably correct manner.

Disclaimer: I’m not a real pilot. The virtual skies are safer that way.

What’s This Site About?

This site is a place for me to share resources related to flight simulation.

But if you want to see me actually flying (and occasionally crashing) virtual aircraft, you’ll want to head over to my main hangouts:

Watch on YouTube

I share my flight simulation adventures with nearly 50,000 fellow virtual aviators on YouTube. You’ll find:

  • Livestreams — Join me in real-time as I fly routes around the world
  • First looks — New aircraft add-ons and what I think of them
  • Tutorials — Startup procedures, systems walkthroughs, and tips
  • Community flights — Flying with viewers and the wider sim community
