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

…And I saw a UFO over Australia yesterday.

Ballarat to Melbourne. Took an ill nipper to the Children’s Hospital on a bleak day. Really hope OZ gets the attention US, West Europe, and Japan (my frequent flying zones) have got from scenery makers.











What did I do in MSFS today ? Nothing…darn… and I miss it too !
I am on my way to my southern home from one of those northern states.

Remove KATL in Content Manager.. underneath there is a lesser airport, but framerate improves miles around that place..


Fly out of CTYZ at terrain LOD 7.00, Objects LOD 4.00. Full Ultra 1.5 scaling

Nothing. Been reading FAA handbook on landing.

I saw the eclipse today on my world tour, second eclipse already since I started. They seem to be quite common. Off the coast of Haiti at sunrise

reading handbooks is chopped liver?

We took the Spitfire for an early morning Flight,…


After landing we put our feet up and watched this Film.

We love the Smell and Sound of a Merlin V 12 in the Morning !
ps. Hopefully those Flame Smoke and Vapour effects will come in future Up Dates following the introduction of DX 12 into our Sim.

so far all ,morning tring to get it working…no instrument panel…or no flight displays powering up ect the norm for MSFS downloading update upon update and content over and over and over..so far this is a download simulator nothing more

Please don’t Despair ! There are lots of helpful people that you can get expert assistance from.

not enough. A beautiful foggy morning, storms, 120kn winds aloft… swirling,

Snow in Orange NSW and an early kick-off to the ski season. Yes, we have snow skiing in Oz.

and I had stuff to do and couldn’t fly. Just enough time to check around the airport from the gate

The world tour continues. Took a side sightseeing trip to see Kilimanjaro up close. The resolution was not a good as I hoped when I flew directly over the summit a few minutes before this shot.

Was inspired by the MSFS Official livestream with Flying Fabio, so wanted to continue the trip where they left off.

Downloaded the nice pack of Bush strips in Idaho/Oregon:

And a scenery for the Flying B ranch strip:

Made a little flight plan to visit 8 of these strips:
VFR Flying B Ranch Landing Strip (12ID) to Bruce Meadows (U63).pln (4.3 KB)

And did the little bush trip I created myself.

It was great fun, feel tree to try it yourself as well. I used the Savage Carbon mod;

This evening we took Jan’s latest Ryan STA Livery up for a Flight.



Same Aircraft with colour coordinated Jacket. Poser !


Seen on Martha’s Vineyard, MA to Caldwell, NJ flight - I’ve been trying for more realistic “in-cockpit” only photos, either from the PIC, COP or PAX positions.

Block Island (I can almost see my new Gaya Simulations airport down there):

Montauk Point and Gardiner’s Island:

Plum Island immediately below and the Connecticut River where it meets Old Lyme in the background:

Closed airport Calverton Exec on Long Island:

The distinctive crescent shaped Orchard Beach in the Bronx - and beyond it LaGuardia’s RWY22 approach lights:

Tappn Zee Bridge and Tarrytown outside the COP window:

Had to curve around for the IAF to Caldwell’s RWY22, ended up passing over Tuxedo Park and IBM’s Sterling Forest Campus:

Neatly tucked into the hills is Ringwood Estates and beyond the ridge is Ramsey NJ:

Late afternoon arrival at Caldwell (Essex):

Today I shuttled some Carribean partygoers to their overnight rest stop in the Dominican Republic before heading back to Florida for the weekdays.






Been playing around with NeoFly and it takes me to some interesting places I probably would not have gone to. I’m also only using default scenery as most of these areas have no 3rd-party scenery.
