So you’ve upgraded from your trusty G29 to a fancy direct drive wheel and now you’re stuck with a perfectly good shifter collecting dust? Same here! In this post, I’ll show you how I hacked together a simple adapter using a Raspberry Pi Pico that lets you use that G29 shifter as a standalone USB device. This little weekend project saved me about $300 compared to buying a new shifter—and honestly, it was pretty fun to build.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is known for its stunning visuals and realistic flight experience. MSFS2020 is also known for being extremely taxing on machines. On my PC (R7 5600x, 32 GB RAM, RTX3080) I’ll average around 30-40 fps depending on the scenery and plane I use.

With AMD open-sourcing FSR3 in mid-December it was only a matter of time for someone to develop a mod to enable AMD’s frame generation tech in unsupported games.

Have you ever looked up at the sky, and wondered where all the airplanes you see were heading? Well, I certainly have!

For as long as I have known I’ve been captivated by all things aviation, I think it’s because I’ve always lived within 10 km of an airport so seeing low-flying airplanes was an hourly occurrence. My city is also just under a pretty busy navigational waypoint for airplanes so in the morning and evening you’ll see a slew of long-haul intercontinental flights overhead.
