Took a CJ4 from Cagliari Elmas Airport (LIEE), where I’m parked with my Turbo Arrow, and flew some imaginary passengers over to Geneva.
I’m not very good at IFR, so I was happy that I had clear skies.
An unusual place to be for a low altitude VFR pilot.

Did you crash through the roof when the plane stopped, or dont you have crash damage on. For me with it on I can land and taxi but as soon as I come to a complete stop, boom im in the structure below ;p
Depends on the building. Some you fall through, others like this will work. As long as you don’t hit any of the greebles you are good. I landed the 208 on the roof of one of the Chernobyl buildings.
Will have to try that next time Im out then, everything Ive landed on to date as soon as you stop, you get the message, though Ive managed a touch and go and survived that.

It didnt crash but it sunk a bit into the terminal roof.
I have damage OFF.
The roof (and the sunlight reflecting on it) looked very tempting to try a landing 
Cheers,

Yeah roof landing is even better then carrier landing lol ;p
Flew an American Eagle CRJ 700 from OHare to Charlotte on my way to Bermuda to pick up the next around the world aircraft

Explored Melbourne in the H145 with the brand new Orbx City Pack, starting from Essendon Fields (YMEN), …
another Orbx DLC. Approaching Melbourne downtown, …
the stadiums, …
the docklands, …
and circling around …
and between the high-rise buildings:
A quick detour over the Yarra River and the Port of Melbourne …
and back to YMEN:
The combination of WU 7 PG and this city pack imho is amazing. I hope Orbx will iron out a few glitches (cranes floating in the air), but otherwise this is one of the best city experiences I’ve had in MSFS 2020 up to now.

re-installed the sim now it runs even worse YEA?
Finished rechecking everything for some reason raytracing was set to 0 so I changed it back to 1 and got these…fps is still kind of flakey:

Did another leg of my African trip, this time from Gode (HAGO) to Wilwal International (HAJJ)
Nice panorama view from FL222 doing M0.744
A Smooth landing
And shutdown
Sadly the piston aircraft on my left was not on by any means, the propeller “motion” is just a static picture. Quite off putting, I really wouldn’t mind if it was just about to leave.

A flight from Nantes to Figari, on an A320, following a real route.
If someone interested, I recommend this approach, the view is fantastic.

are the helipads just for decoration and landing or are they active (you can set up on them)?
Flew the CRJ 700 From Charlotte NC to Fort Lauderdale Florida on my way to Bermuda
Wilwal International (HAJJ) to Kombolcha (HADC) leg today with a deviation to see some elephants
Most of the flight was on autopilot sightseeing from above
But then the vicinity of Kombolcha was all kinds of valleys and mountains so I couldn’t resist turning AP off and go closer to the ground.
Contrary to my previous try with wildlife the elphants did not fail to appear and a large pack of them were walking pretty close to the road
The airport itself is in a valley, with an easy visual approach following a river, however as in many cases, someone found it vitally importatnt to plant high trees just at the end of the runway. Luckily it is quite long, even for a jet, so I managed a nice and smooth landing.

While I haven’t tried the helipads myself (I just did a first quick round-trip from YMEN), according to Orbx there are landable helipads included: “For helicopter pilots, the Children’s Hospital, Royal Hospital, and Victoria Police Center Tower have landable helipads. In addition, there are several floating helipads along the downtown and port sections of the Yarra River.”

I took the Fenix A320 for my very first flight yesterday. It was a very scenic evening flight from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR), and I took the chance to try it with my brand-new custom W.I.P livery.
Today’s flight time was about 1hr 20min, with fantastic weather at Calgary, and some rain/showers expecting me in Vancouver.
Departure time was at 7:01pm (Mountain Time), 7 minutes behind schedule.
I eventually pushed back and departed YYC from RWY 35R. The clear skies made for a stunning view of the Calgary skyline far off in the distance.
It wasn’t long until I reached the Rocky Mountains. This is when the flight got quite bumpy! I had the seatbelt sign on for most of this flight, but the sights were spectacular!
It wasn’t long until I started my descent into Vancouver. The winds had shifted so I had to rework my approach from RWY 26L to RWY 08L, and this sort of messed up my flightplan. It would still get me close enough to intercept the ILS beacon though, so it wasn’t too bad. Nonetheless, the sky definetely got more intimidating as I began my approach to YVR, but the couple of breaks in the clouds here and there made for fantastic landscapes and scenic views!
I punched through the clouds and flew out over the Straight of Georgia before turing to line up for RWY 08L and intercept the ILS. The sun was setting and it made for a very cool reflection over the water.
I lined up and landed at YVR, but quite hard at -430 fps! Not my best landing! I taxied around the International Terminal and arrived at my gate just 2 minutes behind schedule, at 7:27pm, pacific time.
All in all, the Fenix A320 is a phenomenal add-on. Having recently flown on an A320-200, I must say the sounds are almost spot on, albiet a but dull. I’ll definelty fly this bird some more to get used to its more detailed systems and mechanisms.

ORBX have been dropping the ball on active pads where we can set up a flight, but they do put the markings in the right place for landings. Disappointing for a helo flyer. Cheers!
