Decided it was time to give the airliners some love so I’ve been flying the A320 (I’m on console so it’s the basic model with the climbing issues at altitude) but I’m 2 for 2 with landings
Did a tour of the Ardennes, west Germany to Dinant, Belgium and back to Germany, while the beautiful autumn weather is upon me. Cheers!
Departure, Spangdahlem - Prum, Stevelot, Malmedy
What are your camera settings to have the camera ‘free’ to see those views watching the aircraft moving and flying? I can’t find the right settings. I can only zoom in and out from the aircraft I’m piloting. I have looked at u tube clips but am still 'lost! Would appreciate your help when you have time.
(I live on O’ahu 1.2nm from RWY 04 @ PHNG) - The State and the Army came to an agreement for Dillingham Airfield - they’re going to keep it open until mid-2024. Good news for the north shore folks, skydivers, and glider pilots.
On the eve of SU6 - I took check rides on the Diamonds (with MrTommyMxr’s mods natch) - 40NG and the 62. Can’t wait until they fix the fuel transfer switch on the 40.
DA40 NG - KBID to KMHT - G1000 NXi took me smoothly down the full transition to ILS34, keeping downtown Nashua off my left wing the whole time. Amazing stuff from Working Title.
DA62 - late afternoon into dusk flight from KPHN to KUUU. Cancelled IFR as soon as we cleared most of the storm headed offshore and came down like a rocket from 10,000 into a Visual Approach from the North. Again, the G1000 NXi worked like Aces.
Continued my JF Piper Turbo Arrow III trip from the Midwest to the northwest coast. Flew from Spokane to Mt. Rainier, then Mt. Saint Helens and on to Olympia. Gorgeous flight.
Just picked up the Turbo Arrow on recommendation from a friend tonight. $45 is pretty steep for a GA plane, but he was emphatic that it’s that good. Can’t wait to try it out!
Downloaded and installed NeoFly. Been using FS Economy for about 8 or 9 months now. Wanted to give NeoFly a shot.
First float plane landing in the open Pacific Ocean was NOT successful. Came down way too hard, apparently, oops! I like how NeoFly looks though. Not sure why the client can’t do auto-loading of pax and cargo like FSE (it’s possible I just don’t know what I’m doing yet.) Overall though it looks really nice. Maybe I’ll get to fly during the day tomorrow. That should make the water landing a little easier!
1hr flight to Jakarta on a rainy and foggy day. I really had to rely on the ILS this time. Was great fun tho and there was some beautiful scenery to look at. Also I got to see a double rainbow.
