Flew a late night twin otter flight from Detroit metro to Beaver Island harbor because I was using the float plane model with the landing gear
Modified a few details in the Airbus cockpit.
The panel with the AIDS and DFDR event button had the labels and the divider light stripes not perfectly centered, so I tried my best but there is only a very limited space for these labels - or they are no longer illuminated.
There was nothing I could do for centering the light stripes (they simply disappeared when moving them a few millimeters to the left) - but the AIDS label could be centered with a small trick: Having a part of the letter A no longer illuminated could not be avoided, but camouflaging this visual bug by making it look like dirt caused the problem, solved the texture problem…
I love these details, like how some panels (in this case the weather radar control panel) were clearly taken out of older Airbusses and mounted in this A320 here.
But after some overthinking I have decided not to make any of the Airbus panels more weathered or dirty-looking because the Fenix already looks absolut PERFECT like it is.
Clear skies… Carenado YMF-5 under Delaware memorial bridge near Wilmington International Airport
Nearby on the other side of the river there’s a nice airfield for Kitfox, it is called Rainbow’s end
Landing logged 1, but a little bit off track (vicinity)
Flew from KBFL Bakersfield to KBUR Burbank, via VORs with Flight Following on PilotEdge, in a full-motion rig, in VR.
As real as it gets.
Edit: Using ForeFlight
Ksts is a fun airport to fly out of
Looks awesome. If only VR looked this good
Tried to fly in the Caribbean but there was a strong wind from the south and most of the runways are east-west. Turns out that in MSFS if the wind is 12+ knots from the side it’s impossible to not veer off to the left or right when taking off, even with full rudder deflection.
Le Touquet-Duxford (1hr-30min on a 152)
Baie de Canche (Canche Bay)
Leaving France, Cape Blanc-Nez, a heavily-shelled place during WWII
White Cliffs of Dover
Rochester Airport
Where Lewis Hamilton was born, Stevenage
Duxford Airfield
Flew from OIZH-Iran to OPKC Pakistan. Got my Co-Pilot some new blue-grey shades to replace the awful brown things Asobo gave her.
Did a flight from Cairo HECA Egypt to Larnaca LCLK Cyprus, in PMDG’s 737-700 Egyptair livery (granted Egyptair have never operated the 737-700) I also learned how to use VNav to descend rather than doing it manually
2nd leg, Duxford-Compton Abbas which was, basically, avoiding showers here and there.
Stonehenge
Salisbury and its Cathedral
On final, to Compton Abbas Airfield
I figured out crosswind landings.
Flew United Airlines flight 491 from KSFO (San Francisco CA) to KJAC (Jackson Hole WY)
Very gusty departure out of the bay, once cruising altitude (FL370) was reached it was smooth sailing from there.
