Today the route will be… hum… should be VFR. But the real MSFS weather didn’t agree. But it’s in the sim and I want to continue testing SayIntentions AI ATC with this expected 45 minutes flight. Should be challenging to depart with this weather and catch Flight Following to finally certainly reach clear-sky at Banning (screen shots from iPad ForeFlight).
At Atlantic FBO with FreakyD freeware LongBeach KLGB v4: Daugherty Field, Long Beach CA USA - KLGB V4.0 for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS
I use the FLY chart to navigate in this congested Los Angeles area (screen shots from iPad ForeFlight):
The weather is really not really VFR compatible for my plan, at departure:
At destination, it should be ok 
and it’s not a surprise knowing the area:
Taxiing at Long Beach. SayIntention Artificial Intelligence ATC initialy gave me the 26L. And I made a mistake arguing with the AI that there isn’t any 26L at KLGB. Obviously, I can’t read a ground chart correctly and my departing briefing had to be revised. Anyway, I weirdly win against the AI after several exchange.
Here we are at KILO runway 26R and finally cleared for take-off :
It’s definitely not going to be a VFR departure.
Obviously, it wasn’t legal and I get thru the cloud to be on-top for my VFR FLY route. Los Angeles bassin is fully covered.
As planned ( ) the SKC is ahead of me. I really love this real MSFS weather:
Approaching the Banning Pass, it’s getting clearer and clearer as planned:
It’s all clear when I start to “firmly” descend to Palm Springs:
Get (more or less) cleared for a right downwind entry for runway 31R. That finally changed, lately in a straight-in for the 13R:
Atlantic FBO is my favorite (actually, I never went to Signature at KPSP

… because I have the pool in sight! Scenery by iniBuild.
Hope you enjoy this VFR flight report as much as I did flying it!
