Geneva (LSGG) to Salzburg W.A. Mozart (LOWS) in the Longitude:
Though I was “cleared for the approach” I kept waiting for ATC to tell me to descend, so I kind of blew the approach, in the end I gave the passengers a bit more jet experience as professional, but managed to put the airplane down without going around and while descent was quite steep, the landing itself wasn’t rough. Still I feel kinda stupid for the descent hiccup…

With a positive pre-buy inspection, I hope to pick up an Arrow II, IRL this weekend!
So naturally, I did some pattern-work and worked on my flows in the JustFlight Piper Arrow III. Gotta figure out what that blue thingy does, and how to turn on those three green lights! 
Lots going on, and figuring out repeatable sequences is key to consistency. The difference between the inner-most track and the outer-most track is the difference between “Do I trim for level on Crosswind or Downwind?” The Arrow is a little quicker than the 172 I’ve been flying (complex, too), and will get you to pattern elevation quicker. On a hot day, with passengers In a C172 you’ll still be CLIMBING on the turn to downwind… it makes a difference.
The last few laps were pretty consistent. Turning Final and hearing “500!” from the headset, and rolling out into an immediate “Short Final Kilo Alpha November Echo” at nearly the exact positions, being the proof in the pudding.
I think I’ve got this figured out. 
Also, I’ve got a bunch of Cessna-specific gear for sale, if anyone’s interested?

Used the Darkstar to complete the Frequent Flyer Miles achievement. Landing that thing is not easy.

Your video has totally eliminated any curiosity I previously had about how well VR works in the sim.
I probably won’t be abandoning TrackIR or my mouse anytime soon.

Nothing too amazing yesterday. I didn’t have much time to fly, as I was finishing errands and getting ready to leave for work, so I jumped into my current favorite Air Atlantique DC-3 for some instrument air work at Coventry and neighboring Birmingham. I’m glad I didn’t plan on flying anywhere awesome, as Bing was having some issues, which I’m sure you all noticed, too 
That’s better 
Outbound holding over the Birmingham NDB for the EGBB ILS 15. I hadn’t practiced NDB holds or even used an ADF in a quite a while, and I’m glad to say that it went quite well!
On the missed approach from Birmingham, turning for Coventry and home, with the clouds illuminated by the sun’s final light. I usually fly during daylight hours, so this was a wonderful treat!

Decided to try the 787-9 Horizon Simulations mod on a cross-the-pond run in real-time today. Departed EHAM with the last glimmers of the autumn daylight fading on the horizon and chased the sliver Moon across the sky for about 7 hours and 15 minutes before landing at KJFK.

Got far enough working on my MU-2 livery that I can use it, so time for a break from Blender and off for a flight to CYGR. Gotta appreciate the shape of the wing tip fuel tanks.
