Who are the Three Grumpy Simmers?

Tristan "Novawing24" Ayton is a highly opinionated YouTube content creator with a focus on the Simulation genre. Believeing that giving back to the community is important, he provides open and honest commentary and feedback on developments in the simulation genre. He has also tried his hand at texture design, with content available at his website and at the AVSIM Library, as well as writing for numerous websites. When not simming he can be found training or competing in Obstacle Course Racing events around the world.

Sérgio has been a flight simulation enthusiast for nearly 20 years. His passion with helicopters developed during MSFS 2000 when he discovered the complexity of these aircraft and the challenge it was to control them. Since then he has been primarily a helicopter flight simmer, trying his best not to crash and kill all his virtual passengers. Sérgio is HeliSimmer.com's editor and writer.

Drew "Bel Geode" Bolton has been a flight simulation enthusiast since 1986, and has been an active member of the community since 2005. A former virtual airline CEO, Bel has embraced many aspects of flight simulation, and understands how to connect with the community at large, through his YouTube channel, and various collaborations with fellow simmers. Bel Geode can be found often in FSX in his F-14 Tomcat "Valkyrie", in X-Plane in one of his many helicopters, or in DCS World in anything he can get his hands on, to make targets go "Boomflowah"!
