Had a panoramic flight by Gibraltar (LXGB) on a Savage Cub and tested a new weather preset. It was a short flight, only 21 minutes, with a very, very short take-off (I had not fully centered the elevator trim). It’s a beautiful place, with an impressive massif just south of the airport, and I doubt that there is something like a left pattern for runway 27, which the air traffic control asked me to do. 
I’ll try to improve my drone camera capabilities after that and make a scenic video from this. The flight was saved for replay, but the images below were taken on real time.
It’s a very beautiful place, indeed.
Tried a 2-layer preset (cirrus floccus + cumulus mediocris) by bluesky123.
The highest place in my route. Had to climb to 800ft.
I like those pylons by mamudesign.

A nice day to fly at a beautiful place.
Say hello to Africa!
That’s an impressive rock!
Very short take-off!

Been a while since my last post.
I am down to my last 7 legs on my Around the World tour, having concluded my last Asian stop in Petropavlovsk, Russia today. I have completed 72 of 79 legs, so far. Next stop is Adak, in the western Aleutian Islands, a 1000 mile leg, similar to today’s.
The journey has been tremendous though I am eager to see its conclusion as well! The world is amazing, even when experienced through Flight Simulator. The varied terrain, weather and human landscapes have been a pleasure to see, even when flying in the flight levels.
I recently picked up the Honeycomb XPC yoke and throttle (still waiting for the hub to arrive) for my XBOX series X so that has changed the emersion quite a lot, though there are some aircraft-specific bugs that can be super unfriendly to a flying aircraft (don’t try to change weather/weight/control settings in flight or your TBM930 will depart flight and overstress).
I hope to integrate the throttle this coming week for the final legs of my tour. Should be pretty cool, I think.

Thanks to @RaraAvisSims for creating the Bulldog Gyrocopter! It’s so good!!! Sounds are thunderous and textures are dazzling, and it’s really fun to fly. Here I am departing from a cool beach near Darwin, Australia, after a jaunt from nearby YPCM. A perfect introductory flight in the first Gyrocopter for MSFS 2020. It’s a great value as well. Superb high quality unique rotorcraft. I’m hooked.
The Bulldog pairs very well with the Sharktooth Ridge scene from Parallel 42. Landing on that strip took a few tries, because the Bulldog requires finesse on the throttle. This craft has remarkable STOL capabilities.
we had a visit with remarkably detailed cousin windmill, who is sporting some amazing textures too and is worth a closer look.

After my first series on this little darling, the creator added motion blur for the rotor. I’d say it’s a done deal unless he makes the weapon systems work or adds a pilot that looks like James Bond. Or if some clever scenery maker makes Blofelds secret base with opening volcano crater and helo pad. Freeware on flightsim.to

Had a short flight from Aspen over to Lake County Airport. Very gusty winds on final, with a left crosswind initially, changing to a right crosswind when over the threshold. The threshold has a drop off as well so I had to contend with down drafts there. Leave the power in too long to avoid that, and you float.
