Trying out the MV-22. Lots of nice functions. More challenging than the FSX/P3D Osprey. Found out the hard way about that vulnerability to stall. Have made sure not to repeat that mistake.
Good luck with your tour!
I just finished leg 55 of my 76 stop world tour. I started on Nov 24 and faced crazy weather in the north and rainy weather in Europe, clear and sunny weather through the Persian Gulf and a mix through SE Asia and Australia. My Greenland landing, a sleet storm in the dark was my most challenging of the trip so far (3 missed approaches and something about any landing you can walk away from is a good one
) .
I think it’s a great way to ‘explore’ the world and there is a ton to see and experience!
I wish you clear skies and happy flying ![]()

Took a trip from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory to Deadhorse, Alaska. In the middle of winter, with heavy snow near the ground, high winds, and freezing cold -40 C temperatures in some places (got up to -90 C while in the air).
Flaps 10 for such a short runway? With an exceptionally high approach speed as well. Feel for those passengers. At least you made it down.
Nice work, Dean.
started with a long flight above south korea in caravn, ferrying it to oceania
later I flew a bit the King air above south africa
then took the bonanza around KLAS
Sweet pics! I want to see the gizmo!!!
I watched this video…
And then I tried some engine off full down autorotations in the Cabri. I flicked the fuel switch off and then quickly found anywhere suitable to land.
I got it on my 3rd go which means it was easier than I was expecting, having never tried it before. I did a few more and then decided I’m better at this than powered landings, so maybe in future I’ll always kill the fuel before landing the Cabri. ![]()
Congrats! Don’t stop. There’s a massive planet out there to explore.
With the wind and such, the instruments were going haywire and fluctuating between 130 and 170 knots. It was hard to keep things under control.
Took the Osprey for a quick cultural spin.
Wanted to see the famous INOP sculpure from Saptain Cim once more.
Started a round Australia tour in this beast
TL-Ultralight Sting S4… gonnnnna be sloooowwww
Started YORB Orbost
First Leg to AU36, Coongulla cos, what a name ![]()
Was originally going for a round the world tour… but once I started planning I realised it would take me about 3 years to complete (with work commitments I can probably fly 1-2 times per week)
So Round Australia it is!!
Failed to land the Jenny again, but I think I’m improving.
Looks like a wingstrike this time.
Nice. I did around Australia trip 2 years ago in C172. That was before World Update Australia. It was beautiful. It must be even better now.
Also I found this website with charts for Australia: Aeronautical Information Package (AIP) - Airservices
Yes, definitely there is. And still not even halfway through my trip around Pacific in DC-3. But taking break, because I am away from my hardware. So today the closest I get to MSFS is this forum, like most of this month.
But yes, it was magical exploring world in 1000 hours. Some examples: some built-in MSFS bush trips, trip around Australia, USA, Silk Road with Speedy, followed James May - Our man in Japan and Italy. Mostly in C172.
Split Kastela (LDSP) to Kosice (LZKZ) in the HondaJet:
There were suprisingly some vatsim controllers online during the afternoon on my day off, so I decided on this slightly longer route than usual. The flight was quite pleasant, there was a bit of traffic both on departure and there even was someone simulating an emergency at arrival. Sadly my landing wasn’t very good, this time I was so focused on the centerline, that I flared too high and bounced.
Full video later here:
As an experimental feature I sped up the cruising part 10x to shorten the video, which saves about half an hour. I’m not sure if I’ll continue doing that, my CPU was running at almost 100C for hours while working on the video.
