Over the last few days I’ve been spending quite a bit of time working on Empirekicking again, and if you’ve visited the site recently you’ll probably notice that quite a few things have changed.
I wanted to give the site a bit more of an identity rather than it just being a forum with a homepage stuck on the front of it. So I’ve been going through the homepage, changing the layout, moving things around and trying to make the different sections actually feel like they belong together.
I’ve also been working on some of the content that sits around the forum, including new pages and different s…

A little jaunt from island to island across the Torres Strait between Australia and Papua New Guinea. Eleven takeoffs and, hopefully, eleven landings. The trip is 295 nautical miles; the shortest strip (pictured) is 1,530 feet. Full-stop landings at each strip are preferred, but for those of a nervous disposition a touch and go will do. Choose your aircraft accordingly.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a small tool for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 that I thought I’d share here.
It’s called MSFS 2024 Diagnostics Tool. Basically it’s designed to make it easier to check your MSFS setup and grab useful diagnostic information when you’re trying to figure out what’s going wrong.
I originally started making it for my own use but decided to put it up on Flightsim.to in case it’s useful to other people as well.
You can check it out here: https://flightsim.to/addon/114888/msfs2024-diagnostics-tool
It’s still something I’m working on so I’m always interested i…
2026 hasn't had the greatest start for my family and me, with the sudden passing of my mum on January 23rd, 2026. It's been tough to get through, but slowly we are pulling back and starting to get back on our feet.
I have a lot to look forward to in 2026 so far, so I am looking forward, as I know that is what both my mum and dad would have wanted.
How is your 2026 going so far?
Spring 2026 is in full swing, and with how fast the months are flying at the moment, it may not be too long before we are into summer.
With spring and summer, there are plenty of opportunities to head out for days out, or even head away on holiday.
What are your plans for spring/summer 2026?
