Amongst all other things about the sim i really like the colouring and shadings and what you can see in the reflections on parts of the airplane.
As i looked back an recording of an earlier flight last week and took/recovered some shots of a particular part of the flight in the vincinity of isdafjørd
CYHO to CYPN in the Shorts 330
Visited Torres del Paine National Park. Departed SAWC, landed at SCPY, a dirt strip that is almost impossible to see from the air.
En-route to the park:

[Edit: You can clearly see in these pics, from the “line” running down the center, that the color correction is slightly different on each of my two 1360 x 768 1080p monitors.]
took once again the C208 to fly this time in north america to canada ( KLWS → CYPS)

0 nav aid in this area, I had to focus on few landmark as mount cleveland
after aprox 200 nm of flying island to island, saw the runway ! it was hard landing because I was a bit too fast, had a 25knot crosswind making my plane doing some wheelbarrowing

CYPN to KROC in the shorts 330 ending my world tour in the Shorts 330 reading for my next world tour plans
Learning the ins and outs of complex aircraft is not really my favourite thing in the sim, and so there’s a bit of a queue. I was keeping the Transall C-160, which I bought in the Christmas sale and was really looking forward to flying, as a reward for finishing the BAe 146; but succumbed to temptation today and flew the C-160 from the grass strip of Delegate Airport (YDEG) in New South Wales - my takeoff was accompanied by a serenade from the stall horn, but I made it - to Canberra International (YSCB).
I had a hugely enjoyable low-level flight. You obviously can’t throw the C-160 around the way you would a fighter jet, but my, it’s a remarkably smooth-handling plane.
Made it to Canberra without hitting anything. I hadn’t realised how rough the terrain around Canberra could be.
KROC to KFWA in the Dash 7
Dash 7 from KFWA to KDSM
KDSM to Alliance in the Dash 7
Nice Côte d’Azur (LFMN) to Rimini Federico Fellini (LIPR) in the Vision Jet:
Since LFMN servers as airport for Monaco and LIPR serves San Marino it was all about connecting the mini states with the mini jet ![]()
The flight was quite spectacular, the coast line is really well made, only over Italy did I meet some low quality map tiles, otherwise it was really worth gawking outside the huge panorama window.

A couple of the old FS2004 activities, flying the cub around Mt. Rushmore, then the Spruce Goose around the shoreline of Long Beach & LAX. My main flight today was in the Grumman Goose from Ushuala (SAWO) to Carlos Ibanez (SCCI), with a couple of landings along the way.
