Sometimes I’m so purist that I don’t realize how many opportunities of have fun I’m really missing. You’re right, why not enjoy these flights with the lovely FBW?
Those hardcore simmers… they have forgotten how to enjoy with simple things
mmm… what a great idea for new year’s eve. Start new year with that route flying all the night. Although with the DC3 could be a serious real PITA. Very long flight. And the meteo can make it a interesting challenge.
I fly the SE AK milk runs several times a year in the real world. My best advise is to do it in the summer. Beautiful views at low altitude especially between KTN, WRG and PSG. Many of the approaches/departures take you down narrow inlets and fjords only accessible due to Alaska Airlines proprietary RNP capabilities. You can do it in the winter, but be ready for a very bumpy ride with nothing much to look at out the window.
Definitely… I was just looking for a challenge with R/W weather. Breaking out of overcast into blue skies and puffy clouds is pretty awesome too. MSFS is the first to really capture that particular feeling IMO. Some of my favorite R/W flights were instrument training w low overcast and tops at 3,000. Loved capturing the ILS and descending through a solid cloud layer, then popping out just above minimums with the runway right in front of you…
but, yes - Alaska is gorgeous in summer
I’d watched this last night and wanted to take a break from single digit frames at DD’s KEWR, so was playing around in this area ( which I’d never heard of before )
Looks night and day better in summer or with a WX preset.
