That grravel is fantastic…can land on just about anything at such low speeds. Great visibility and fast take off. Easy to see why it’s so popular as a mod. Good for FPS too especially in VR with steam gauges.
I thought I’d try ridge soaring on the Rock of Gibraltar today, as the weather looked good. The launch didn’t go exactly as planned… ![]()
First, flew a sunrise trip over Uluru.
Then, after breky, landed in the middle of a typical morning thunderstorm at Cairns (YBCS). Exhilarating!
Started it and the figured why go through the heart ache.
Block Island to Newport State, caught some Sailing Racers in Newport Bay and a Dusk Recovery at Montauk Point.

I flew my USN Grumman PBY to help free the Ever Given from the Grip of the Suez Canal!
Disappointed with the A330 mcdu failure in the climb, so I restarted with a simpler flight in the TBM from San Diego to Portland. Gorgeous work on Portland, I remember how long it took in FSX for anyone to make an airport there. Of course, I remember the actual airport well when two L-1011 flights to and from Nagoya from LA, and another one in DAL’s MD-11, back in the early 90s. Looks so good in MSFS 2020. Miss those planes. Hear me Captain Sim?
bad day for watching ship traffic in the Channel Islands area
Today I continued my “when games collide” Bush Trip by taking the G-91 and MB339 into the mountains from Colorado Springs to check out the real world locations of the opening chapter of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Screenies from this and the Fallout 4 Massachusetts Bush trip yet to be edited. ![]()
Island hopped around the Philippines in the 152, watched sunrise from Antarctica, and also explored around small towns in Texas and Wisconsin looking for schools I went to as a kid and trying to land as close as possible in a variety of bush and/or light-sport planes. The Rotax 915 modified version of the JMB VL3 is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and I’m also trying to get used to the Shock Ultra, Savage Carbon, and Zenith CH701.



I tried to fly the Spitfire from near home here in Tasmania out to some scenic spots in VR, with my Reverb G2 headset and an AMD Radeon 6800XT GPU. Needless to say, it crashed to desktop when I pulled a vertical climb from tree top height into an intended Immelmann. Tried the same in 2D and it almost crashed to desktop, but after a 30 second pause, recovered. Closed the sim and read a book.
I tortured the Dreamliner, stress damage off, full speed it flaps its wings like a bird.
It was surprisingly easy to land at Toronto city airport, handles well at low speed, good brakes and reverse thrust. VFR landing again as I can’t figure out all the instruments, so many screens and no one with a decent map (o clue how to get the map up)
I turned AP off after it just kept turning left when switching to heading mode, ignoring the heading bug. I’m pretty sure I got that part right, bug and direction displayed on screen, heading mode active, plane just ignores it and keeps on turning, odd.
Ride that plane, Hoss!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Sorry for the grey departure and no view of Honolulu. We are now at a cruising level of 35000 feet. Sit back, relax, enjoy your in-flight movie…
After successfully delivering shampoo to Paris, I’ve taken some beef and cheddar from Germany, and I’m transporting it right now to Liverpool. Poor cow.
Oh. And at last, I could afford a renting bond of Cessna 208! My beauty *hugs monitor* (ok, not going to lie, it’s pretty ugly design-wise, but, but… it’s Cessna
)
I flew leg 7 of the Alaskan bushtrip.
Guys guys guys. . . What a breathtaking approach that was into A79!! Wow.
Yep that is what I did, I really enjoyed that one.
Why does this keep happening on long flights over water
First I thought, wow epic rain storm, erm no, it’s pilot hair
which Oshkosh mod do you recommend? two at flightsim.to
happy landings!
