What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 1)

Waiting :smiley: waiting waiting waiting for the great update today to arrive.

And deepening the skills of flying the Airbus.

Step 1: Adding a new cabin light because pure white is so YAAAWN boring and sterile looking.

Step 2: Dimming all the lights inside the cockpit until it feels PERFECT:

Height in meters feel somehow off… but on the other hand I like having all cockpit options and possibilities on and running, so not sure if I should disable this instrument or not. I mean why should an aircraft have an altimeter in meter?

Step 3: Messing around with the MCDU as learned in the newest cockpit tutorial videos.

I am really curious how well this plays out, and how good and accurate Flight Simulator 20 can handle real-world GPS coordinates, because if yes - the possibilities will now be ENDLESS yesss!!!
Finally no longer flying from EDDL to AMIGO to XAD12 to KAMIKAZE to EDDM or whatever (sorry I don´t know any real-world flightplan and real-world airport or airway codes so I had to invent some typical MCDU programming right now), but using my own coordinates and flying over really interesting scenery I check out before flying in SkyVector and Google Maps.

This will be EPIC if this works!

Flying over iconic movie locations, iconic city landmarks, and exactly the routes I want - instead of just getting some random route based on ten random waypoints :smiley:

That´s a whole new world of IFR-flying airliners, why did no one told me before that custom GPS waypoints are possible! That´s so AWESOME and absolute perfect for flying BBJ.

I noticed that the GPS coordinate system in Google Maps is not as accurate as in Flight Sim 2020 and GPS coordinate websites:

Preplanning of the flight is now finished :slight_smile:

The height of the London airport is 1640ft so the ILS approach should be flown in 4640 feet altitude to catch a 3° glideslope perfectly from below.
