[Flight report] J.Wayne (KSNA) to Agua Dulce (L70) | C172

Awesome experience this morning (french time) for this VFR flight between KSNA (John Wayne/Orange County Airport/Santa Ana) to Agua Dulce Airpark (L70). With Say Intentions and the C172 WBSim.

MSFS2024 | WBsim C172 | Say Intentions for ATC and trafic injection | Real time weather MSFS | Foreflight on iPad.

Depart from John Wayne/Santa Anna (KSNA) at ACI Jet Center (north) FBO:

The most representative experience I love with MSFS + Say Intentions. Taxiing at a relative crowded airport, moving AI traffic and some small departing. All in one shot:

My favorite experience with MSFS2024. Flying in small where the bigs are. With Say Intentions for ATC and traffic injection (AIG/MTL model library). A lot of activity on frequencies, departing and moving traffic.

Holding short L/20R. The southwest is at K and will take off before me. Ground ATC told me I’m number #2, then will received “Line & Wait” and finally will be cleared “caution wake turbulence”:

Traffic all other the place. My SI setting for traffic injection is 11/10 for liners and 11/10 for GA. Foreflight iPad screen shot. It’s late afternoon and LAX is very active. Radio freq is busy. Awesome experience. Liner checking in, get vectors, frequency change. I also went from SOCAL to another one. Only issue was that I had to request explicitly my Bravo clearance although get Flight Following (from Santa Ana clearance del) at 5’500 feet that put me into the Bravo:

After updating my BIOS and nvidia driver, my MSFS worth a load test flying above Los Angeles.

Then the mountains come when you fly up north from LA. I climb to 7’500 ft:

Still not good in checking wind for Wind-Tee and windsock to get the proper runway. Need several orbits above the field :wink:

Eventually reach the right downwind 22:

Final runway 22 at Agua Dulce (L70). “Wrong” timing for the light. End of afternoon. Landing facing west:
