In this episode Nicnac expresses her disappointment in The Sim Solutions DA40NG. She also muses about general aviation tech, flying cars and elitism and gatekeeping in flight simulation. Having been a simmer since 1999 or so it’s a scene that she occasionally grows weary of. Finely, she celebrates and does some critical thinking about her year with X-Plane 11.

In this episode Nicnac talks about diving into The DA62 and a few  airliner flights in the sim after returning from their brief visit to  Seattle. They lament some of the limitations of the simulation offered  by The Aerobask DA62 particularly when it comes to the overlays on the x1000 and a few  aircraft systems. But, overall they have been enjoying it as they dive  back into the sim. They are looking forward to getting their hands on  The Sim Solutions DA40NG and plan to report back next month. They also  mention The Navigraph Survey and express their thanks to the team for all their hard work. If you  are a member of the sim community please take the time to fill it out!

Nicnac will be back in December. She hopes you have a sim filled time in between.

Show Notes

In this episode, Nicnac reviews their virtual experience of FSExpo via time-shifting. They were very grateful to have online access to the talks and are chewing on both The Laminar Research Team and The Lockheed Martin Prepare 3D Team. Their only minor criticism of the talks involves not having a good idea of where things stand with MSFS due to the conference’s lens of serious simming and the lack of MS/Asobo talks. Not a thing that’s entirely under event organizers’ control due to MS being MS and COVID travel restrictions.

They move on to express their excitement for X-Plane 12 and reassert that they are hoping Laminair counties with the focus on default systems.

Nicnac spends some time talking about what they hope to buy next month: The Toliss A321 and Flight Factor 757 along with Canada4XP & FSimStudios Halifax are likely on that list. Tune in next time to find out where Nicnac lands!

Nicnac closes by giving a shoutout to Ralph of simaddons.com who has long made Candian airports for the MS world and the team at The FSExpo for putting on a good show that will hopefully see the hobby grow in a good way!

Show Notes

In this episode, Nicnac drops as much of the mask as they can muster and just tries to deal with it in hopes of coming out the other side.

Show Notes:

In this episode, Nicnac’s creativity and life train is jarringly derailed by their very frustrated body’s instance on closeness despite Nicnac’s mind objecting to the cries. This forces Nicnac to explore a different kind of date seeking despite their extremely rational objections and ongoing gender changes.

Nicnac hopes this episode can serve as an admittedly dramatized look into their mind and their loathing of the gender they were assigned at birth.

They hope they can find someone far from Hellhole, CA who can see them for who they are. And, that they might work together to actually climb the Denali that could be divergent love. For Nicnac knows that people are people too.

Show Notes

In the episode, Nicnac reflects on their second conversation with Antony and tries to signal where they want to go next. This leads Nicnac back to their creative process and the problem of not being commercial while having walked backward into broadcasting. They tie it all to John’s simple statement of fact that genius is pain while noting it has to be packaged in just the right way. Nicnac hopes they package it in the right way just often enough.

In this episode, Nicnac has the privilege of being rejoined by Antony to wax about the challenges of being creatively divergent in a world nobody told us about. They muse about the last 20 years, the future and the further-flung past in a worthy follow-up to “Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed”.

Show Notes

In this episode, Nicnac reflects on the horrors of 9/11 even from 2,800 miles and 20 years away and tells what they remember of that morning 20 years ago from the perspective of an isolated and burnt-out kid who loves flight sim and hates war and oppression...They talk about the dim view they take of the choices made by world leaders in the 20 years since that day and the 56 years prior to that day

Trigger Warning: This is a deep, heavy, and honest episode that may not be suitable for everyone including dark themes, politics, and autistic life struggle. Please proceed intentionally and do your own thinking as required. If you don’t have the ability to listen with an open mind please don’t!

Show Notes

In this episode, Nicnac reviews some notable media portrayals of Autism and autistic traits and puts them in the context of their personal experience of life on the spectrum as best they can. They focus their efforts on Raymond from Rain Man, House from House MD and Leonard and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Nicnac notes that the writers for House and Big Bang claimed their characters weren’t Autistic. Likely to try and give themself artistic license. Although Nicnac loves both shows at various points in their runs Nicnac views this move as dishonest and harmful to people that live the lives portrayed on a daily basis. Rain Man is a far worse case of the writer using Raymond as little more than a cheap story mechanic to force change in the main character (keep in mind Nicnac is a struggling writer. They get these things).

Nicnac again emphasizes the incredible diversity of the spectrum and how little those that don’t have lived experience truly know about Autistic life. Nicnac encourages media creators and consumers to be inclusive ad admit when they fall short. Nicnac strives to hold themselves to the same standard.

Show Notes

In this episode, Nicnac wrestles with the reality of their internal world and how that impacts the way they see the external world after losing a social connection they had a lot of hope for earlier in the month. While they know that attempts at sharing their internal world rarely go well no matter the social context, they hold steadfast in their desire to embrace their authentic autistic and borderline self.

They express hope that careful online communities can continue to find the kind of lived truths that medicine and science can’t. Feeling that, although life for anyone not rich white and male is difficult, it’s better to intellectually and emotionally battle oppression than to completely withdraw and mask. Nicnac ain’t down yet. But, they’ve more than had it with a world that is hell-bent on oppressing divergent thoughts.

They close by again encouraging others with lived autistic experience to take Detester Maginzine’s educational survey if they have the capacity to do so. They are putting as much as they can into listening to others with greater or different knowledge of the lived experience than they possess. Please see the links below so you don’t have to take their word for it.
