Next Level Racing have unveiled an entry level flight sim "cockpit", for those a little constrained on space. 

Is it any good? I'll tell you on Saturday when my review after 2 weeks with the unit gets published. Until then, here's Next Level Racing's promo video.

Hey all!

No news show today I'm afraid - got far too much going on with work to be able to get the script written in time. For those interested though, these are the stories I had picked for today. 

Also, full flights resume next week, AND reviews starting with a surprising hardware review that you may be surprised by....

Navigraph's annual survey of the Flight Simulation community is now live. This is a vital survey that developers all over use to gain insight into what the wider community wants from our hobby, what they value, and what where they should focus their investments. 

It takes just a couple of minutes to fill in and I HIGHLY recommend you all click the link and let the world know your Sim views.

Heads up!! DCS Halloween Sale is now on. Great deals.

Hey guys

No news show today. Other more pressing commitments have taken precedence. I'll get it live tomorrow.

Hello all!

Had a great time at FSExpo at the weekend, but now we're back to normality - well kinda. Those of you who watch the youtube.com/frooglepete know that tomorrow I head off on an epic 2000 mile in 5 days motorcycle adventure. For that reason you won't be getting a news show tomorrow. 

To make up for it though, Part 2 of the JRollon Marchetii review will go live in it's place. 

When I get back I'll be editing up a roundup of the FS Expo.

Hey guys. 

First of all I want to thank you all for sticking with me over the past few very lean years. As I've mentioned on recent livestreams (you are tuning in right - Friday Nights at 7pm Eastern on http://twitch.tv/frooglepete) I made some poor decisions and prioritized 'work' above pretty much everything else, including Frooglesim content, and family. That's the reason reviews, Fully Loadeds, VLOGs and so on have been so very scant for far too long.

Things changed in November when I was somewhat forced to find a new job. I found one, and my family and I are now slowly digging our way out of the mess I got us into previously (and a MASSIVE thanks to those of you that have subscribed to me on Twitch, or donated also on Twitch - I can't express enough how awesome you are, and how fantastic it has been to have such a supportive fanbase).  

By far the biggest positive though is that the new job is awesome, my employers put a very high priority on an actual work-life balance, and as a result I now have a life, and I love it. 

Now the mixed good and bad news. On the one hand I am working on new content, regular content, for Frooglesim. I know I've promised that in the past but, again, circumstances were such that I was crippled from being able to deliver it. Hopefully I'll be able to stick to my guns this time around. So that's the good news. 

The bad news is that now I have a "life" I'm finding it incredibly hard to get motivated to do the news show on the current schedule. It takes me between 4 and 6 hours of work to pull together each week and because of the timing of the show that has to be at the weekend. That inevitably means that I tend to lose either all of Saturday night, or half of Sunday, each and every week. 

After two and a half years of delivering the news for you guys I'm struggling now to do it each week. 

So, the bad news - from this point forward the news will be on a Tuesday each week. That lets me have more time for family and myself on the weekends and hopefully makes the show less of a "grind" to pull together. I'll be able to spend just an hour or two each weekend day working on the script, then record on Monday night. I think that's the only way I can continue to do it. The more grindy it feels, the more I want to come up with a lame excuse to miss it. Additionally it's often the case that I have plans for the weekend and there has been more than one occasion where I've had to ditch those plans or choose one thing over another and let family and friends down in order to not ditch two news shows in a row.

I know thousands of you have grown accustomed to the news on a Sunday and I hope this doesn't throw off your weekend routines too much. 

So, Tuesday - the Frooglesim News. Friday - the Frooglesim livestream. My hope is that Thursday is also additional new Frooglesim content. 

Finally, I have also re-started putting up the motorcycle content on http://youtube.com/frooglepete. It's pretty regular with at least 1 vid per week and I'm enjoying pulling that stuff together a lot. I'd love it for you to check it out and perhaps subscribe. 

All the best

Pete

This week's news show will be on Monday guys. Have a little too much to cram into the weekend to get it done in time.

No news tomorrow guys - we are at that weird period of the year between Summer and Christmas when not a whole lot of stuff happens. So sleep in, chill out, relax, and take it easy. There are 2 videos coming up this week for you weekly Froogle fix.
