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

The Obersee, deep in the valley behind the Königsee, is perhaps one of the loneliest lakes in Germany and a good place for a landing challenge.

My destination: Landing near the Fischunkelalm (pink line)

Approach over the ice

Done

And ready for take-off

Today, I started my second world tour in the sim. This time I’m taking the A32NX around the globe.

Since it’s been months since I’ve last flown (my old PC gave out, and I just got a new laptop. Not ideal, but it’ll do the trick), there was a bit of a learning curve again. The FBW A32NX has changed a lot since then :sweat_smile:
Once I figured out how to start the jet from cold and dark again, it was smooth flying.

The tour started in my home airport Brussels, Belgium (EBBR) with a short leg to Berlin (EDDB).
The weather was absolutely horrible, cloudy all the way. So no real sightseeing opportunities.
My landing was way too hard, I even bounced up again. I guess I need to relearn how to properly flare again.
Tomorrow, maybe, I’ll do the second leg towards Kyiv. I’m going to fly around Russia, through Asia. :slight_smile:

The colors are insane. I tried to apply the same nvidiia filters of yours but sadly it doesn’t look like the same in my sim :frowning:

Flew the Longitude for the first time after the AAU update. Wow. What a difference three Sim Updates makes, between the G3000, the Synoptics pages and the complete rewrite of the procedures, avionics and flight modeling. A “milk run” from fictional Kai Tak to Manila, about 2 hours 10 minutes at M0.82, max ceiling. Landfall over Lingayen with a beautiful curving approach into RWY 06 via DAGAT.

Where the hell did I get the idea that there would be snow in Salt Lake City a few days before Christmas? Can one of all the airliners here take my Tanarg 912, the unknown lady in the back seat and me to a proper ski resort … business class of course! I am waiting at KBTF!

Bought SamScene3D’s Nagoya and found it deliciously replaced a lot of 3rd party freeware I’ve used for nigh on three years. Thanks SS3D! AND useable helipads on the buildings!

Next 2 legs of Portugal bush trip in WB-Sim C172 in real weather: LPCO :airplane: LPSC :airplane: LPEV
Today it was quite windy in Portugal. On the first leg I had almost 30kn tailwind. Unfortunately the situation was not much better at Santa Cruz airport. I did 3 go-arounds because of strong gusts. I guess I should just continue to next airport, because landing afterwards had a big bounce. And when I tried to back-taxi the runway, I realized the wind was stronger than expected, because I had hard time turning on the ground.
On the next leg the wind was less turbulent (also more flat region), but still strong. Difference between heading and tracking was 15°. Evora airport had much smaller winds at the ground level, so landing was not a problem.

This is the Cessna 207 and below us is Seattle. Just out for a little sunset flight from KPAE to KOLM.


Fine views everywhere you look.


The airport spares no expense on their holiday light display.

Just an observation about the C207, since I began taking flight instruction IRL I have been flying all of the GA planes in the sim, trying to see how close I can get to landing it the way we do in realsies. I’ve been able to coax some of the most amazing flares out of the Stationair, in this session I literally pulled my Alpha Yoke back all the way, right as the stall horn sounded and then gently down on the main gears. As the nose settled I saw that my application of right rudder was sufficient to wind me up right on the centerline. The C207 is the best $10 I’ve spent in a very long time!
