What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 2)

I’m practicing flying helicopters in MSFS, while visiting all the POIs of New Zealand that came with the last world update.

Wellington, Parliament and Beehive:

Later on I got company (KiwiGun in an F14??):


He kept passing me, turning around, passing me again, at one time flying below me even though I wasn’t very high up in my Guimbal Cabri G2.
That was fun - reminded me of my EECH days, when I tried to sneak away from enemy fighters in my Comanche :smiley:

More seaplane base hopping in Northern B.C. That’s the first time I’ve tried landing on the snowy water, it works pretty good! I might bring the lake skipper back there to make it a snow skipper.

I took a break from my around the world tour to work on my ‘gizmo’ for the TBM930 and to do a lovely evening flight from Campbell River (CYBL) on Vancouver Island and my wife’s hometown, to our local GA airport, Vancouver/Boundary Bay (CZBB) in my new Carenado C170.

The flight tonight was awesome, calm and smooth, a stable airplane, lovely evening light and decent landing (if not a little bouncy - quite different from the TBM)! Great weather and familiar scenery. If I ever get my PPL, this will be my dream route.

Some pix…

Oh, and here’s a photo of my gizmo (printing the chassis as I write this…). Hope to be able to use the prototype for this weekends flight to Manado, in Indonesia.

Happy Flying! :airplane: :sunglasses:

Today’s bush strip: Badley Ranch, Idaho. Just south of Mackay Bar. Part of the “Project Air Mail” scenery. :+1:t2: “The last remaining USPS mail route”, “unauthorized civilians cannot enter, only air mail”. – Oops, I forgot to use a USPS livery. :sweat_smile:

I exchanged the snow-covered live weather for a brighter variant of Floyd’s Epic Clouds.

Enjoyed a VFR :thinking: :rofl: flight testing out the new update to the Carenado PA28R Arrow III :+1:

Very happy with the update, GNS 430 screen now fit’s within the instrument, smooth flight characteristics (unlike before when it bounced around like mad), new engine sounds and overall a smooth enjoyable flight without any microstutters. :+1: :grinning:

So glad you asked! It’s Return to Misty Moorings, a FREE scenery package which adds hundreds of seaplane bases, lighthouses, cabins, boats, ships, etc. all throughout Northern B.C. and Alaska. One of the best add-ons in the whole game!!!

Continued the sightseeing

I spend quite some time looking for that st… carrot.
Crashed in a tree, had to restart the flight, had to park the chopper on a field to look at a map and which street to follow to find it:

Took off from Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, went West around Strausbourg, and flew into Colmar-Houssen.

After two weeks with the C172 and C208, I had to remind myself to be sure to drop the landing gear in the C310. :downcast_face_with_sweat: No screenshots of the landing don’t mean anything. :wink: Seriously, we got down safe.

Foggy Day off Catalina Island, testing the Carenado Arrow WTT coupling on the GTN750 for an ILS approach to RWY20R at John Wayne International. Passed over Chino Hills during the course reversal and saw an interesting building further up the road on I-71, turned out to be a massive Buddhist temple. The Photogrammetery is amazing from low altitude.

What it looks like in real life:
