I finished my journey from the top of New Zealand down to Queenstown with the leg from NZMF Milford Sound to NZQN Queenstown. This leg is an amazing experience, flying along the valleys and trying to get altitude to clear the ridge, it’s only short but I recommend it to others.
First up there’s a nicely modelled small marina at NZMF, I’d come back with my boat if the ice would melt, but having just had summer and with 20C outside it doesn’t look like this glacier will ever melt in the sim. Maybe I need to wait for an ice yacht in the marketplace. 
I took off on 11 for the straight out departure through the valleys. Sorry no pictures of this bit as I was fully occupied hand flying and visual navigating, trying to gain altitude knowing there was a high ridge to be cleared.
If you look on the MFD which is set to absolute terrain you can see the valleys, from this position I took first valley on the right then left at the T-junction and up and over the narrow ridge into the valley on the other side.
I climbed all of the way and made it but without a lot of clearance! Would have been on the terrifying side IRL think. I’m not sure there was an escape route either, I wouldn’t like to try a U-turn in this narrow valley in the jet.
Having the inset map on relative terrain was perfect for navigating this difficult landscape.
I came into NZQN using the RNAV F approach via IBABU, which leaves a long crooked final.
Finally made it! Golf clubs at the ready, I packed the plane up, until the next time. I’ll be back!
I must commend the NZ aviation authorities on their ICAO name selection, by far the easiest and most logical set of abbreviations I’ve seen anywhere. But what is with the sim having both NZQN and NZQT?

Did an entire night flight from Dublin to Edinburgh. Weather got very sketchy in Edinburgh and I lost my magenta line for a while.
Recovered with a great ILS approach but came in a bit fast on landing.

A nice calm flight along the Oregon coast in the AN-2. Love the cockpit view in this one. I finally figured out which one’s the fuel gauge!!!

For sure not done in one day. Took me about a week, but today in MSFS, I finally finished this really cool massive stadium fly over Mile High representing military aircraft from the A-10 to the upcoming B-21 Raider.
Fast Forward to the 6:50 mark for the start of the anthem. It took me probably over 10 hours just for that epic 1 minute fly by. Worth it!
Also almost broke my system. Had to lower graphics settings and turn off multiplayer.

Hamburg (EDDH) to Copenhagen (EKCH) in the HondaJet:
It was a short flight, but I had good ATC coverage and some real busy traffic at Hamburg. Tower made an amazing job handling all these planes

Today I finished the two last CAT ratings in Pilotedge (flying through LA airspace and then flying from KLAX to KSAN).
The amount of progress you make in ATC communication by doing these ratings are tremendous. In the beginning I was stuttering and had to just sit and prepare myself before talking. Now it’s almost natural and you know what to say right away. I absolutely recommend this to everyone who wants to take the next step in flight simming.

Hello muñequera, thanks for the answer, I have the London of the game, and the truth is that the buildings look very bad, it seems that there has been a catastrophe.
Greetings.
Thank’s I only joined on here once I got a computer that I could play the sim. Now I got my friends buying the game and flying.
Our principal remedy for this issue is to Delete Rolling Cache. Then switch off everything in DATA. Online Functionality etc. Once that is done Switch everything on and this reset seems to help with this problem. Hope this works for you Halcon.
Kind Regards from us.
Conquered another Papua New Guinea bush strip.
1344 ft, nicely sloped, as usual. Don’t ask how many times I went around. When I then see how much of the runway is still left coming to a hold, I still don’t regret coming in carefully and slow.
I decided to approach over the ridge to have more time to fine-tune speed and power.
This one’s again from the “14 Challenging Bush Strips” scenery addon. Recommend it! 
Oh, and I got me a proper PNG registration number this time!

leaving chile (SCCF-SCKP) to land to La Paz (SLLP), long time I didn’t touched the KNS80, doing full flights with VOR and virtual waypoint
The recent update and the vor degradation implementation made it more satisfying than what it already was !
