First flight of my DG Aviation LS8-18 in MSFS 2024. Used a Towplane to lift off from Hilo (PHTO), hoping to reach the summit of Mauna Kea:
This was using live weather. Winds were only light ( ~ 10 knots) from the east. The initial climb was not too bad:
But I struggled to gain altitude:
This was as far as I could get:
So rather than land on the slopes of the volcano, turned around & headed back to Hilo:
Looking good to land:
As this was my first flight in this aircraft, I was quite pleased that I managed to stop on the centerline!:
