Hmmm…ty…gonna try this. Did you have an average altitude? Wow…16 days ago…lol…takes me a while to catch up sometimes.
Nice avatar! One of the best movies!
Today I did nothing. Stuck at work…
I’m not sure off the top of my head. I was usually around 2000 AGL most of the way, as it was very cold, and overcast. LNM will show you the profile at the bottom of the window. I would imagine at the highest points it was around 12,000ft or so.

Providence to Boston in 13 minutes. It took longer for me to get to the assigned ramp spot at Logan than it did for me to reach 5,000 a minute and a half after wheels up. The GotGravel Vertigo is a beast. But it’s also quite docile. This is a half-mile approach to RWY 4R - 5 degrees nose up, about 70 kias, full flaps and gear. Easy as pie.

2 hour flight up through Idaho, from Idaho Falls to Missoula, in the JF Arrow & GTN750.
VFR Idaho Falls Rgnl (KIDA) to Missoula Intl (KMSO).pln (5.6 KB)
I was also listening to Radio Garden, a way of tuning into local Internet Radio. So I started off with “The Hawk KTHK”, heading NW until I got to the dog leg near Salmon, where I tuned into KSRA, and then North up to Missoula, and listened to “KHDV The Drive”. A nice selection of Rock, and Country & Western.

Storms over the Azores
Had to go for a divert field, as Flores is an NDB only field and it was socked in, all the way down to minimums.

C152, VFR EBAW - EBCI, route via the actual VFR reporting points. Pretend radio (but setting the radio freq’s correctly).
Good stuff:
- I spotted all the landmarks of the reporting points easily. They are very recognizable and I’m sure they look similar in real life (though it’s usually easier IRL). They were very easy to spot → especially waterloo
- My timing and heading, corrected for a slight tail-wind, was quite accurate
- I listened to ATIS
- I love how the weather can change / evolve
Some things went wrong, mostly bad flight prep:
- Using the radio with the mouse is DIFFICULT in flight without autopilot, because I lack foot pedals I cannot fly stable (always banks left) …
- On the leg from ZB (FORET DE SOIGNES) to WATERLOO I planned to listen to EBCI ATIS but I noted down the wrong frequency. So I spent precious time looking that up. By the time I got to pretend-call EBCI I was already late and accidentally called TWR instead of APP. I should’ve just skipped the ATIS and pretend called APP instead
- At EBCI I knew I needed RWY 06 (ATIS told me) but I joined LH DOWNWIND RWY 24 instead! Since this is pretend ATC nobody told me I was going the wrong way. On Final I saw “24” and realised my mistake, climbed again and joined the correct DOWNWIND for a safe landing. I should’ve looked more at the Circuit at EBCI
- ATIS still mentions dew point 10 at all times, which always confuses me: “temperature 6, dewpoint 10”??
I thought these were terrain spikes, but they are actually the buildings in Brussels:
Pretend-ATC allowed me to cross the field at 2500 ft. What is the bright green stuff top middle?
Waterloo! Passed it with the car a lot in real life, never while flying though:
Woopsiedoodle, good thing this is a sim!
Main lesson:
- More pre-flight preparation (frequencies which ones and when!!)
Edit: two more things I didn’t do well
- I forgot to enable my alternator so my battery died inside the EBBR CTR, quickly noticed though
- I forgot to re-enable my landing light

@Monkfishman3086 bind the radio menu to the old FSX ~ (Tilde) key. What’s nice there is it’s all left hand operation. As long as you can cue off the Tilde key with your pointer finger, it’s simply a matter of counting keys over to the right corresponding to the radio menu answers. Right hand stays on the controller.

Looked up a random SAS flight (downloaded a SAS livery for the CRJ700, and wanted to see it in its natural environment), and replicated it. Was a flight from Oslo to Bodo, Norway.
Flight went smoothly, got to practice some holding patterns which I though would be smart in preparation for eventually trying out Vatsim, and was surprised by a great offset ILS approach into Bodo, combined with a stiff crosswind.
Managed to get the bird down safely, if somewhat firm and squirelly. Pretty happy with it 
Here are some shots, this livery is amazing BTW.

Started a tour down the east coast of North America (and possibly South America depending how I’m feeling by then) in the EMB-110 Bandeirante, in bite size pieces of an hour or less to fit in my schedule, and strictly VFR dodging around and underneath the weather and no autopilot to keep things interesting. My starting point was St. Johns, Newfoundland because (a) it’s usually pitch dark where I live on the west coast when I have time to fly and St. Johns is where North America gets its first sunlight, and (b) that’s where a decent density of airports for my desired leg length begins. Today I got my first two legs done, from St. Johns to Winterland and then Stephenville:

Every once in a while you get the perfect flight. today was such a day. Flew the TBM-930 from Vancouver to Kelowna. filed a low altitude IFR flightplan and started from cold & dark. ATC was flawless. had it set to AI traffic at 85%. There were 5 aircraft taxiing at the same time. #3 for takeoff, no glitches.
The flight progressed without stutters, a few other aircraft in the air. Arrived in Kelowna, flew the STAR and joined the localizer. turned off the Autopilot at 100’ above ground. Landed and rolled to parking.
Hoping for similar experience tomorrow.

Of course, after dying in France at LFPS I Taunted TBM’s on runways at a 160 MPH, in the Skyhawk.
