Flew the Cessna 208 from MKJS Jamaica to Kingston Jamaica MKJP this time my Logitech switch panel was the thing that went out, I might have to invest in new sim gear
Santiago to Melbourne Australia 787-9
Great flight!
To take the photo for the current Screenshot Challenge, I flew from ENSG over the village of Øvre Årdal to Galdhøpiggen, the highest mountain in Norway . The flight ended near the village of Lom.
Put the E-Jet through some bad weather this time. Got some bad performance degradation from the SierraSim MYNN airport addon. Not sure what’s causing the frame drops around there.
Gonna try the freeware improved MYNN addon and see if it’s any better.
So bored with trying to figure out where to fly next, just seens to repeatanive, might just start doing some slow and low flying with the 152
GCRR - GCLP (Lanzarotte - Gran Canaria) in the Turbo Arrow III from Just Flight. Probably my last leg before Tenerife. Once there I will try and play around with the TBM instead.

An early morning sightseeing flight from north of the Dead Sea to the south.
The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and the West Bank and Israel to the west. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
As of 2019, the lake’s surface is 430.5 m (1,412 ft) below sea level, making its shores the lowest land-based elevation on Earth. It is 304 m (997 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With a salinity of 342 g/kg, or 34.2% (in 2011), it is one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water - 9.6 times as salty as the ocean - and has a density of 1.24 kg/litre, which makes swimming similar to floating. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which plants and animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea’s main, northern basin is 50 kilometres (31 mi) long and 15 kilometres (9 mi) wide at its widest point.
Today I saw that the English Electric Wren by Rara-Avis Sims was published and since I’m a sucker for vintage aircraft I had to try it out. It’s one of the first microlight designs and first flew in 1921. It only has 3 hp and is very fuel efficient, managing 87.5 miles to the gallon.
Included is a 8hp version and the original 3hp version. I took the 3hp version up for a couple of short flights around Andrewsfield.
On Friday I ferried my King Air 350i from Marie Galante (TFFM) to Key West (KEYW) via Santo Domingo (MDSD). Enjoyed some beautiful Caribbean sunset scenery.
New York Teterboro (KTEB) to Toronto Lester B. Pearson (CYYZ) in the Longitude:
I had a bit more than a week without a flight so I was kind of expecting to botch the landing and I was trying so hard to be on the centerline I started to pull up the nose late, thus came down without a flare. Otherwise it was quite a nice flight.
Full video later here:
What helicopter is that? Default Asobo model, or a 3rd party helicopter?
