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

Oh yeah, in between flying in Daytona Beach, I watched this cool video recommended by youtube-

After watching that video, I was going to mimic his flight but it would have taken more than an hour, so instead I just tried to land at the same time he did in the video. If I took my time and tried a few times I’m sure I could have timed it to where we touchdown at the exact same time, but I was just playing around having fun.

I think you somehow posted my post on your post. What the???

Flew from VNKT to VIDP in the BN2 Islander, most of the journey skirting the foothills West.

On approach at Delhi, I had a 55kt headwind. Instead of coming in with only the first stage of flaps, I wanted to see how slow I could come in. I think I landed at just under 10kts GS, VTOL-like.

According to Windy.com:

METAR

15m ago:

Wind 270° 5kt. Visibility 1800m. RVR runway 28 is greater than 2000m. RVR runway 29 is greater than 2000m. Mist. Clouds few 10000ft. Temperature 25°C, dew point 20°C. QNH 1006hPa. Becoming: Visibility 1500m. Mist.

So live weather, but the wind was way off. The clouds seemed spot on, and the wind direction was pretty accurate, but 50kts faster than reality.

Looking back through the chart for that weather station, the closest wind speed I can see to what I saw in the sim was May 16th, at 40kts.

I quoted you.

Cloud/bubble icon next to the B for bold shows the quote so you don’t have to hit reply.

I practiced landings at Notre Dame De La Salette (LFPS). I tried different aircraft and recorder C152.

Everything went accordingly until landing.

Took out all of the gate signs on left side of R16.

Flew in to L05 (Kern Valley) northeast of KBFL (Meadows Field, Bakersfield) in the Just Flight Arrow III. It’s a pretty easy approach, as mountain flying goes, and the final to 35 is right over Lake Isabella. Watch out for oak tree fifty or sixty yards from the threshold! :slight_smile:

Just some Touch-n-Go’s.
This week I will visit a simulator with two teen relatives, AEROTASK (german)
Want to show off a little :shushing_face:, so I trained the last weeks, EDDM-LOWI LOC-DME-WEST with circling to RWY 08 in the Fly-By-Wire A320.
Initially, I always flew the the full track from Munich to Innsbruck, start to landing. But then I realized that I get more out of my “training time” if I do touch and go’s instead.

That’s 2 sorties, one out of EDDM the other out of LOWI, including a landing on RWY 26 and a crash when the A320 completely shut down on me, engines and electrics :scream:
That’s the plan, one of the kids is with me in the cockpit and does the start (well, I might setup the plane as far as I can and if they allow me, and the kid will do the taxi and take-off). Then I take over for the LOC-DME approach and a circling touch-n-go, and then the kid can do the proper landing as well (straight-in, w/o the circling). That’s the nice thing about this circling pattern - when you come out of it, you “naturally” get back to the entry of the initial turn, and with the choice of straight-in or circling.
