@ianlighting9160 So thatā€™s all I really want, really.

I take it this is a mod by the community, or designed yourselfā€¦

It looks like a Concorde BAW001, but, does it fly like one?

Iā€™d love for the Xbox version of this game to have this aeroplane.

This is the Concorde by DC Designs.

Tested out the new DC Designs Concorde! This one is by far their most complex simulation, and a delight to fly.

Day 4 in Tokyo, I havenā€™t gone to bed since I woke up last night, set out 8 am this morning.


Went before the places opened with this local radio station promoting my music and shows here in Tokyo/Tokyo Dome.
At the hotel, set out for my local guitar shop there to talk about guitar, play guitars there, talk about my show(s), played them a song off my new album.

It was right by my hotel.

Then I went off to Kabukicho Ichibangai again, only Iā€™ve been there so many times now/this week, I didnā€™t even bother taking pictures of it, then I mentioned I wanted Taco Bell, so one of the two discjockeys hooked me up, said there was one open in Shibuya, so we went. In Shibuya I found this Adidas Shop behind Taco Bell, so I got Taco Bell.
Iā€™m glad that other one was closed now, as I found the Adidas Shop, on the interview, they recorded it, I said how Slash wore a pair of Adidas when he played here at the Tokyo Dome with Guns Nā€™ Roses in 1992, so the shop just gave me a fresh pair to wear when I play Tokyo Dome this week, that was good of them.
ā€˜Getting Taco Bell & Adidasā€™ (Japanese Taco Bell)ā€¦


Saw some cool stuff there in Shibuya this morning.

Then we went off to Tower Records which was up the street, to talk about my album and to talk about what music I liked growing up there, wrapped up the interview, itā€™ll be on the radio tonight, probably repeated and streamed onlineā€¦

Saw some cool things on the way to Tower Records too!

Then I noticed I was near the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, and remarked how I came here on my first night here on my own/Monday Night after I hit Kabukicho Ichibangai on my first outing, so we hung out there to see it in the day.

Then I was done, headed back.

Saw this, yet another Coca-Cola sign!.. Which I found funny because this was a new one to me and when I first got here, I was navigating by these things.

However, now Iā€™ve been in Tokyo since Monday morning, Iā€™m starting to know Tokyo, I felt at home going home/back to my hotel this morning.


I knew which one it was and just went to it.

I was home, back at the hotel/My base in Tokyo.

Peace.

Leaving out to Tokyo Dome

ā€˜I must say, Iā€™ve settled into this commute.ā€™


On my way to work, more work, I was working earlier promoting my concert and my record, but on my way to work on what Iā€™m doing here in Japan.



Tokyo Domeā€¦

Iā€™m at Tokyo Dome, got here after 12 noon ish.
Got to make sure the stage is up today, make sure everythingā€™s working for tomorrow night ā€˜and Saturday nightā€™ā€¦

I figure Iā€™d be here for an hour or two, then head back to the hotel and to bed, I donā€™t want to mess around with my sleeping pattern too much as Iā€™m on stage at 9 pm and usually play until 11 pm but Iā€™m up early ā€˜for me here in Japanā€™ at 5 pm tomorrow,

I also heard a rumor Iā€™m going to be playing here 3 nightsā€¦

The 1st of April and the 2nd of April and the 5th of April!
I was supposed to be in Hiroshima on the 5th to see my friendā€™s band perform! Butā€¦ Weā€™re filming something for Amazon soā€¦ Yeah, 1 more extra show hereā€¦ I wondered what I was promoting this morning, turns out was a last minute thing.

With this news, Iā€™m going to meet my friend in Hiroshima the day after her show, and just see Hiroshima with her before taking off with her to Shingo Village, Sapporo, Osaka & Kyoto and Okinawa with her. I figure, Shingo Village and Saporrow will be all in one day mind. I guess Iā€™m here in Tokyo until the 5th at least. I figure Iā€™d check out on the 6th though, and jet off right to my friend/right Hiroshina, I feel back not getting to see her play live, or meet her band butā€¦ Maybe next time, and Iā€™ve got Amazon recording my Tuesday night show, I only hope someone records her show or me, Iā€™d watch, oh well, should be fun to see her.

Iā€™m here 'till 4 pm I think, might get off early and go back to my hotel, back to bed at 3 pm.

I think Iā€™m going to Disneyland here in Tokyo though on Sunday, since Iā€™m in town and all and in between concerts, so thatā€™s something, I guess. Should be a fun way to spend my Sunday here.

So I left Tokyo Dome @ 2:45 pm, decided I wanted to go see the Asahi HQ, turns out thatā€™s here in Tokyo.


Thought I saw a UFO at one point real quick, but it turns out it was just a funky looking cloud.

Oh but the skies were beautiful.


As is my home this week.


Asahi Beer HQ

Then I wanted Sushi, turns out thereā€™s a lot of it, so I went for the one with the most reviews, and saw it was openā€¦

Random find across the river thoughā€¦ Considering where I just wentā€¦


Asahi Super Dry Billboard!

So I took more pictures of this find, I was across the river/Sumida River, in Taito.


Then I had my sushi.


Also found this discount store ā€˜Don Quijoteā€™ ā€œDon Quixoteā€ where my sushi.

Then I wanted to go to bed, decided I didnā€™t need LFR and could now eyeball it (I came here knowing little on Monday and now I know my way around Tokyo)!.. (Iā€™m also homing my skills on a
velocity here, which is pretty cool).

Iā€™m not gonna lie though, I do use Tokyo Tower as a point of reference now to eye ball my way back to my hotelā€™s neighbourhood and then I see my hotel right thereā€¦

But it works, so why fight it, right?

Goodnight, Iā€™m going to bed, itā€™s now 4 pm and I was up since 8 or 9 last night when I went out for Japanese KFC at Kabukicho.

FYI, thatā€™s not me in the pilot seat, thatā€™s my private pilot I hired in Oregon, she used to fly for Air Oregon but I hired her as my personal pilot, she goes everywhere with me, I hired her out of Lane County, Oregon though, thatā€™s why she sounds all American talking to the ATC all the time.

Well, it feels like it, but, Iā€™ve got my eye candy flying it and me all around the world.

Sounds fun!

Thank you, it is.

If anyone else is on Xbox Cloud and on Western Europe server, feel free to drop by Tokyo and see if you spot me this week.

:crazy_face:

I was checking out parts of the Philippines last night. Iā€™ve only seen Manila on flight sims, but I think Blackshark did a very good job there, correct me if Iā€™m wrong. Also, the approach/landing on RPLP is very nice.

They say UK and Japan are alike, one in Europe, one in Asia, and being from London and seeing Tokyo ā€˜simā€™ this week, I can only take that as a compliment nowā€¦ Because this place is so awesome!
So far, Japan strikes me as 'If China and USA and UK had a baby."
Big on baseball and American brands here, rooted in Kanji and the whole influence of China pre-Shogun period, and have their own thing going on to their mainland counterpart be it EU or China with a monarchy and need to drive on the left and a love for football/soccer and other UK things, thatā€™s just my impression mind and Iā€™ve only seen Tokyo so far, but yeah.
A native Londoner, if anyone ever compared UK to Japan again, Iā€™d be honoured. What a place to be likened to.

To open an aviation transport business in Japan , a permit from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) is required.

So itā€™s 4 the morning here, Iā€™m sitting here in my hotel, itā€™s Friday, what can I do? Iā€™m at Tokyo Dome at 7 pm, go on stage 9 pm, play 'till 11 pm then a curfew comes into place, first of three dates hereā€¦ Iā€™m off Monday, itā€™s Saturday tomorrowā€¦ Friday/Saturday and Tuesday Iā€™m at the Domeā€¦
Iā€™m free in the day.

I know where the government building is (I see it around)/Thank you MSFS! - I got my idea.

ā€œWorld Airlinesā€

Somethingā€™s been on my mind, bugging me since I got hereā€¦
ā€˜Where to go once Iā€™m done with Japan?ā€™
I am probably doing it aā€™ backward, since Iā€™m feeling Montego Bay, Jamaicaā€¦ And I could have done that from England, and Iā€™m in Japan!.. I love it here in Tokyo in fact, and I hope I love tourist part my time here in Japan Iā€™m giving myself once Iā€™m finished in Tokyo, but it is my first time here, so, I am going out and around and seeing some touristy stuff, but Iā€™m also workingā€¦ I do love it here though, I hope I could use the Ritz-Carlton as a home address if I need a Japanese address to make Tokyo a hub for World Airlines and make it Anglo-American-Japanese?
ā€¦
Iā€™d be going along to get my MLIT today just for this new airline I want.

Tokyo to Montego Bay
Tokyo to Kingston
Osaka to Montego Bay
Osaka to Kingston

ā€œJapan to Jamaica.ā€

And also get Japan more in the North East (of America)
Tokyo to Philadelphia

Hmmmā€¦

Iā€™d think about it.

Stuttering has been getting worse and worse for me. Iā€™m trying out global medium and working the settings back up. Pretty smooth.
Still learning the PC-6 and poking around the Alpine peaks.

Been busy today, since Iā€™m probably going to be unable to play for a few weeks. Flew from Gatwick to Manchester airport, this morning, then Manchester to New York JFK, had to do a go around in JFK because of such bad visibility because of fog, then this evening I took a helicopter (mod) flight around around Masjid al-Haram (The Great Mosque of Mecca) in Saudi Arabia . Now Iā€™ve just finished a domestic cargo flight from Riyadh to Jeddah, using Saudia Cargo livery (mod)
