One is just the colored dots on the runway. This one does much of the airport and airshow grounds enhancement:

Where did you get the F4U ?
Released today. It’s legit. I think I like it more than the spit

Does it ‘scream’ in a high powered dive? If I had a joystick I’d get the Corsair and fly nothing else. Never knew about the FG designation, we only knew F4U. Nice he used the Checkerboard Sqdn, Maybe he’ll include the Death Rattlers.

Just tried, and indeed it does! I am impressed. I didn’t have my hopes up, as it wasn’t mentioned in the couple reviews I watched, and it’s not in the docs. But push the nose over and dive, and it’s “whistling death” in 3D spatial sound.

Took a bush trip from Bergen, Norway to Voss - Bømoen. Used live weather and time, a very nice trip! Downloaded the Bømoen airport before I started.

How was the turbulence? I went through a section in the 172 and in places it was like a roller coaster.
Yes I did get some turbulence, especially where side canyons joined the main Colorado canyon. In 1973, I flew in real life through the Canyon from KLAS to KGCN (a time when light aircraft were still allowed to do so). This simulated experience reminded me a lot of that flight. All in all I’d say it was a pretty good representation of the journey. It was a lot of fun!

Flew my first NeoFly mission, a package from El Cajon (KSEE) to Carlsbad (KCRQ), in the 172 G1000. It’s helping me build up my night hours (it’s usually local night when I have time to fly, and without the motivation of flying for someone other than myself I’d usually be flying around other parts of the world where it’s daytime instead) as well as get more practice with the G1000 panel and its controls (which I desperately need because the autopilot keeps trying to either kill me or overshoot the altitude I wanted).

Did you pilot or were you a passenger? I imagine in a light plane it would be easy to come around a bend and be blown straight into a wall.

Pilot? I wish. No I was a passenger with my wife and two friends. I take the point you made which is why I flew today at 3500 feet rather than lower in the canyon. Of course, since my flight there have been a number of tragic crashes resulting in the restriction on flying in the canyon. But, we can still do it in MSFS.

The A320 mod is coming along so well. I wish the A330 was to that point.
I remember trying to deal with lag in FSX and then P3D over LA to arrive at KLAX. So nice not to have those issues. However, I don’t have the AI Traffic I insisted on using and did this flight with wonky Rex weather - excessively overcast in Honolulu. Trade off was the gorgeous late afternoon approach into Los Angeles.

KOSH → C16. On the way I buzzed Drezieckie’s Navy Pier and did a loop around the Loop. Then put it down on the grass strip at Flyt Simulation’s Frasca Field. Some of the most fun I’ve had in Flight Simulator yet. Now I think I’ll head over to that Lucille’s hot dog stand.

I have so many questions. I tried the same thing over the Alps, and I was never able to gain altitude. Maybe it was not windy enough. What were the wind conditions ? Were did you take-off from ? Any add-ons ?
DonQuilmi3528: I used Kinetic Assistant for a winch launch. I can’t remember the exact location - an airfield in a valley somewhere. It turned out not to be ideal since it was on a slope, and thus one-way takeoff, downwind. Fortunately Kinetic Assistant’s imaginary winch could cope with that.
As for the conditions pretty blowy, from what I recall. The amount of lift will depend on more than just wind speed, but I’d recommend not trying it in less than about 10 kt to start with. If you can find a nice steep exposed ridge at right angles to that, and don’t start too low, you should have no trouble finding lift close in, and with much more wind, working your way up way beyond the top of the ridge itself, giving you the chance to move on to the next one. I suspect that MSFS overdoes the high-level lift, as I’ve got up to some rather implausible heights on occasion.

Where did you get the aircraft?
