I wish I had a screenshot, but I was using AMD Adrenalin to capture a video and it appears to affect the throttle once the recording start wit Ctrl-Shift-E(same key sequence for stopping the engine). Flying the A5, I do a short bush adventure in Phoenix, AZ. Mcgill Ultralight field was closed down at the turn of the 20th century, but still active according to MSFS. I need to max the throttle before releasing the parking brake to get the A5 airborne before the trees or mountains(depending on which end of the runway. I raise the landing gear and use Adobe dam(no water-just flash flood control) 35th Avenue, Pinnacle Peak Road and the mountain pass in Thunderbird park (ignore the boulders in the middle of the road). Going low and as slow as possible, I take a left after the mountain pass and line up with the body of water at the foot of the mountain. I attempt an amphibious landing on the source to all the water features in Arrowhead Ranch. Phoenix gets seven inches of rain per year at most, so having water in your back yard is the draw for this development. Landing a plane on it would definitely raise some eyebrows.
If this is too unreal for you, try this as a reminder of the first MSFS on the Apple 2 with only Meigs field to take off and land on. Make a flight plan from McGill Ultralight(2AZ7) runway 8 to Deer Valley(KDVT). It is close enough that they will vector you in a straight approach to 7L or 7R. Turn on landing guidance and stay in the boxes for a short take off and landing, just like MSFS 1 or 2 (getting up there so I can’t remember).

Bought the Las Vegas Scenery Pack from FlyTampa. Includes (KLAS) Harry Reid Int’l (Formerly McCarran International).
Unfortunately, I can’t have the Airport installed due it causing CTD.
Otherwise, Vegas is beautiful.
Still wouldn’t want to live there, though. 
The Airport I can’t use

Did a non-stop endurance flight with the mighty C-208 from South Africa (FACT) to California (KSFO)
I used unlimited fuel assistance for testing only.
Total Time: 50:32:40
Distance: 8907 nm
Cruise: 20,000 ft
No CTD and no internet disconnect.
This is using SU10-4.

Brest Guipavas (LFRB) to Caen Carpiquet (LFRK) using VOR
It was a really nice flight with lots of low clouds from around 1500 to 4000 feets
This is where I was sent as GA parking. The grass must be quite tall, it’s up to the knees of that poor guy

@CooganBear Did I read that correctly??? FACT to KSFO, in a Caravan???
I have just “ferried” a Caravan from Sydney Australia to Noumea New Caledonia via YLHI Lord Howe Island and YSNF Norfolk Island… and I thought THAT was slow and tedious

Looks like March ARB to me.
Flew by the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. I have seen it a few times IRL while rounding the cape on a sailboat but first time flying by it in FS2020

Did another Darkstar Run (with finally being able to get it into Stratospheric Flight after having forgotten how-to previously) departing KLAX and wound up somewhere in Oregon, I guess?
Didn’t really plan out the flight, just wanted to see if I could get her back “up there”.
But, the landing? My god, I don’t think I’ve ever been that stressed out before.
I was literally in the middle of nowhere and ATC’d some hole-in-the-ground runway surrounded by complete darkness. There weren’t even any runway lights.
Literally one of those “pucker up, pray to your god and hope for the best” moments.

Today I had one of my most satisfying flights since I started simming two years ago.
I took the DC-6 from Heraklion to Skiathos using only Skyvector, VOR:s and ADF:s.
Skiathos has an interesting approach where you have to home in on both a VOR and an ADF, which made it perfect for my vintage DC-6.
It’s so difficult to fly the DC-6 but when everything is going as planned it’s the best feeling you can have in front of a computer.
