I’m Naughty Gnome — a UK-based simmer, gamer, and unlicensed virtual pilot with over 20 years of flight sim obsession under my belt.
It all started with Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 and a creaky old laptop. Since then, I’ve racked up thousands of virtual miles, crash-landed in every continent, and fiddled endlessly with flight sticks, yokes, and performance sliders. I’ve even done some real world flying in the past!
These days, I mostly fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), but I occasionally hop into Euro Truck Simulator, F1, and even the occasional train sim when I’m feeling particularly dramatic.
I’m also a community manager over at the TwoToneMurphy crew (The Fireflies). if you haven’t dropped into our Discord yet, you’re missing out on banter, flight nights, and some top-tier aviation nerdery.
This site isn’t my job — it’s just a space to share stuff I find interesting: gear setups, flight stories, and the odd crash that was definitely not my fault. I stream now and again on Twitch, and I sometimes make YouTube videos when I’m feeling brave enough to edit.
So whether you’re here for advice, curiosity, or just to nose around—welcome aboard
