Good times in the Transall!
So crazy!

Flying in this is interesting.
I had initially had my cabin altitude set such that I didn’t have much margin for differential pressure. I just had a massive change in baro and it triggered a pressure difference warning for the pressurization system. I had to reset a lower cabin pressure for more headroom in the system.
It’s these little things that make this simulator so cool to me.
I also got a Buttkicker Pro a few days ago and it’s been a wild ride with the turbulence telemetry keeping it busy.
I feel mildly guilty that I’m here in CA with blue skies and sunshine, strapped into my simulator rig enjoying what is going to be someone else’s sheer terror.
Via con dios to those in its path.

I can relate; I’m in Oregon, thousands of miles away, flying through the storm, feeling sorrow for the people really facing it and its aftermath.

Not surprisingly, the real world KTPA (Tampa) airport has been closed for a couple of days due to Hurricane Milton, but on VATSIM it’s fully staffed and there are currently 80 scheduled arrivals per vatsim-radar.com. YOLO.

After 10 mins of flying i was worn out from being chucked about. Violent turbulence means violent motion platform. My wind generators were going mental too.

I must say it had a windy feeling in the sim, but i only had a bit of rain flying from naples towards Tampa and then Orlando and that was hard on the windshield, but after 2 minutes is was more flying through mist then hairy stuff
When I was taxiing my PMDG 737 after a very poor landing at KTPA yesterday, it was a bit amusing hearing Randazzo’s voice saying “airspeed alive”.

Hi all and sorry if this is not where to post this. I’ve had quite a few problems over the span of MSFS 2020. I’ve been helped by numerous peeps here to rectify my issues.
This guy Begottenpoet has bent over backwards to help me numerous times here, and since the hurricane I’ve tried to reach out to him through pm’s to see if he and family are ok. I’ve gotten no reply so far and have no other contact other than here. Understandable though, given the damage.If anyone here has a way of contact,or knows of his well being, a simple “yes he’s ok” thru pm will suffice. Thanks all for a wonderful forum and apologies Mods for posting here. Hopefully anyone in the path of the latest hurricane is Ok

Hope he’s okay. I know from friends in the area that some folks are still waiting on power to return, or haven’t gotten back to their homes yet from places they evacuated to. Hopefully @BegottenPoet228 will be able to check in once things are settled.

I hope you got my reply yesterday.
All is well here. Myself and other family members in the Tampa / St. Pete area were very fortunate not to have flood or major wind damage (some trees down, but none fell on our homes.) I was without power and internet for 6 days, but that’s a minor problem compared to what might have been.
This was a scary storm for sure, and I appreciate everyone’s concern.
