New Floor Lights Added

Posted on by Captain Tango

New Side Bases – New Project!

I recently had the opportunity to upgrade my side bases to a more realistic model. This version offers many additional details, including a storage receptacle for a flashlight, backlighting for the tiller scale, and also the assembly for the floor light.

Naturally I wanted to add the ability to make the floor lights functional, using the switch located on the main instrument panel.

This blog post captures the design I chose to implement as well as the electrical schematics and a list of parts used for the project.

WorldFlight 2024

Team JeeHell A320 completed WorldFlight 2024, a series of 42 legs around the world over a full week of flying on VATSIM.

Thank you for joining us during the streams, subscribing to the channel (we passed 2,500 subs during the event), and donating to the Corporate Angel Network (CAN) via super chats, memberships, and direct contributions. Your generosity is truly appreciated.

As promised I have matched dollar for dollar every single donation and added my own donation on top of all your generosity. I should have the final numbers by the end of the week.

Thank you!

New JeeHell Air Livery

Posted on by Captain Tango

Looking Good!

Thanks to Whiskey Throttle, and just in time for WorldFlight 2024, we now have a brand new JeeHell Air livery for the ProSim A320 model in FS2020. The design is clearly inspired by our existing liveries and uses the same color scheme. However it brings some unique elements in terms of pattern on the fuselage and tail, as well as some color on the engine cowlings.

Make sure to check out the pictures of our brand new livery!

This weeklong VATSIM event will take place from November 2 to November 9 and promises to be the biggest ever, with a few new teams joining this year.

Around the World in 7 Days

After successfully completing last year’s edition, Captain Tango and the other pilots of Team JeeHell A320 have happily decided to participate in WorldFlight 2023. This will be our second year joining this week-long event of online flying around the world with ATC coverage while raising money for charity. Once again we will use our four Airbus A320 home cockpits, located in Germany and in Texas, to take turns flying the 48 leg journey around the world.

Attending FlightSimExpo 2023

FlightSimExpo 2023

Captain Tango will be attending FlightSimExpo 2023 in Houston, TX. After joining previous editions in Orlando and Las Vegas, I am sure this will be another wonderful opportunity to connect with the flight sim community and I can’t wait to get there. In addition to meeting other flight sim enthusiasts, I really appreciate interacting with all the vendors and the innovative products they keep bringing to our hobby.

See you at the expo in late June…

In the meantime, here are a few pictures from previous events.

Joining WorldFlight 2022

A New Adventure…

Captain Tango is embarking on a new adventure and will join WorldFlight 2022, a week-long event of online flying around the world with ATC coverage while raising money for charity. This event takes place in early November 2022 and several owners of Airbus A320 cockpits are joining forces to make this adventure possible. Besides their common passion (obsession?) for flight simulation, they also share in common the fact that their simulator uses the same freeware (JeeHell FMGS) for modeling the A320  in great details.

Video Tribute to Todd

Posted on by Captain Tango

A Flight to Remember

 

On March 2nd, 2022, I had the pleasure to host my good friend Todd for a flight in the A320 cockpit. For both of us flying as a 2-pilot crew was a novel experience. After a short familiarization flight the evening before, Todd and I flew that day from Nice, France (LFMN) to Frankfurt, Germany (EDDF), and then on to Innsbruck, Austria (LOWI). This video documents our first flight and is my tribute to the wonderful gentleman Todd was.

In Memoriam – Todd Cox

Posted on by Captain Tango

MEC002 Final Flight

My heart sank this morning when I heard of the unexpected passing of my friend and fellow sim pilot, Todd Cox. No, actually, my heart stalled when I heard the news.

Todd was a gentleman if ever there was one. He was kind and always willing to help. He was very knowledgeable on many subjects, though always modest, almost minimizing his contributions.

I am honored to have been able to call Todd my friend and I sorely miss him, like so many of us.
