I can re-do my IRL flight to FS-Weekend 2022 with a C172!

I had a matching livery with the tower

Happy with this upcoming recap as unfortunately I could not make it to FS Weekend (due to flying lessons )

On flightsim dot to there is a free add-on for EHLE Lelystad airport, including the Aviodrome museum: Lelystad Airport - EHLE - MSFS Add-on - Flightsim.to
I tested it and it is compatible with MSFS2024.

RayGausman · March 26, 2026, 10:27pm

Scenery did work for 2024 too, thanks Elkan

If anybody’s interested, here’s a current map of all the Fly-in Fridays since MSFS24 was released. Being stuck at home for my holiday has clearly given me too much time on my hands.

Lots of choice, but no UK flights. Perhaps an option for the future? How about Yorkshire and around 1st August for Yorkshire day?

Pieter2427 · March 27, 2026, 12:34pm

That is SO awesome! Is it a sharable Google Maps map?

UnwiredEddie · March 27, 2026, 5:19pm

Not sure how to share maps.

MSFS24 Community Flight map

I think that link should work.

RayGausman · March 27, 2026, 5:28pm

That’s a awesome way of logging your flights mate. I do use LittleNavMap for that. if you load your flight in the program and start flying all data saves automatically.

PC - only / Program is free in use.

How it looks when you select all your flights over the past 6 years…..

UnwiredEddie · March 27, 2026, 5:32pm

I discovered a few of those programs too late. Didn’t want to start from scratch, especially since I’ve circled the world twice.

ElkanDavid · March 27, 2026, 8:12pm

A fun community flight! I was impressed by the areas that have received a photogrammetry update, looks almost real. And now I am craving a McKroket…

IceManDBB · March 27, 2026, 8:32pm

Nice flight, although had some performance problems. Seemed to mostly be load-in stutters, sometimes even couple of seconds long. Had all my addons on, so that might be a reason.
Changed time of day and weather a couple of times, to see if it would make a difference.

They like windmills so much, they have windmills on their windmills :

Orbitbold · March 27, 2026, 8:35pm

I joined late, and used slew mode to catch up. I’m relatively new to this particular chopper, and was busy getting to know it. That’s why I wasn’t interacting with other players a lot.

Excellent new scenery! I used real weather, but set the clock to 12 hours before real time.

SteadyRex1651 · March 28, 2026, 9:37am

Thanks for the fun time together. First time I participated and even managed Touch and Go Landings. Which resulted in the PS5 Trophy getting unlocked.

SeedyL3205 · March 28, 2026, 3:49pm

Nice to have you join us @SteadyRex1651! I hope you’ll be back for future Fly-In Friday events!

Best,

It was a great flight last week, usually I like routes with some hills and mountains but there was a nice variety in the scenery along the way so I enjoyed this one also.
