I flew with some cargo from SACO to SAMA (cordoba to General Alvear (south of Mendoza) Argentina ) in C208
also forgot to report my flight past day in King air, from Dijon in france to strasbourg then Friedrichshafen, Germany (LFSD → LFST → EDNY) giving me the opportunity to fly over my town … but as expected it was really cloudy there

A walk around the island of St. Maarten, a tourist flight around the island where you can appreciate its crystal-clear water beaches and its wooded mountains.
We take off from Grand-Case airport and land at Princess Juliana airport, famous for its spectacular landings of tourist planes.

Puerto Rico bush-trip in WB-sim C172 in real weather: TJRV 
PR27 TJMZ TJIG
This trip has only 3 legs, so I finished it in 1 go. Weather was very nice. Clear sky and mostly calm wind. But some parts were turbulent. Also navigation was easy as the whole trip is just to circle around the island.
Also this time I had some actual GA traffic. On departure I was taking off mid runway, and I had to hold short for 2 other Cessnas taking off. After reaching my cruise altitude 4500" I saw that the Cessna was not far. And soon I could hear ATC informing about traffic alert. Luckily we had about 2000" altitude difference.
East of the island was quiet without any traffic. And on arrival I could see some aircraft approaching nearby airport TJSJ.
And this concludes finishing all Carribean bush-trips. Next time back to US.

Fun in El Nido and vicinity with the COWS DA42 and the GotFriends Lake Skipper. First, a little inter-island hop.
A quick circle around the scenic islands before landing at RPEN.
That looks like a great beach to explore using the Lake Skipper!
Now for a closer look at the islands, and lots of trimming for ground effect within a foot or two of the water.
Lake Skipper is a perfect companion for all of Cli4D’s tropical scenery.
Those look like some nice accommodations!
VR beach party time!!!
Happy virtual Escapi-Sim!!!

The Comanche and I are still getting to know each other - today was a short flight from KTTD Portland-Troutdale to 1WA6 Fall City, via Seattle.
For any Twin Peaks fans, in the last shot you can (maybe) see in the blurry distance the "Great Northern " Hotel, sitting next to it’s waterfall, just above the treeline.
Speaking of getting to know the plane (and at the risk of exposing my ignorance), I have noticed that in the Comanche the aeroplane icon on the Garmin display doesn’t seem to face the way I am traveling, which is a bit off putting .
I haven’t noticed this in any other plane, so not sure if I’m doing something wrong?
Edit: Never mind, turns out I am an idiot. Hadn’t aligned the HSI with the magnetic compass…

Made a very short flight in the Vision Jet from Atlantic City (KACY) to Teterboro (KTEB):
It was a very interesting flight despite its short time, I had really low visibility on approach. At minimums I could only see the approach lights, luckily that allow one to continue to 100’ AGL, by which time I could also see the runway itself.

Bad weather in Appalachian mountains, so I couldn’t continue my bush-trip. Inspired by Bing image of today I explored The Pragser Wildsee lake in Dolomites. And I combined it with exploring of POIs in the area. And for this short flight I took ultralight Sting S4.
Departed from Bolzano LIPB

Finally confident landing the Fenix A320 and ready for a new challenge. I’m Thinking the Aerosoft CRJ900. Does anyone have a recommendation? I’m pretty confident in the B787, PMDG B737 and the Fenix A320. Maybe the A310? B757? I feel like with the Airbus if you’ve flown one you’ve flown them all.
Descending into ORD, the winds are kicking up some lake effect snow. Bummer for Michigan, clear and a million in ORD.
Don’t over flare, don’t over flare, don’t over flare… This feels weird… Phew! Just like I planned it.
What a fun sim!

So yesterday I had one of the worst flights in my time in the sim.
I loaded up a Turbo Porter (because I hadn’t flown one in more than a year). I’d intended to fly one of the Milviz (Blackbird) ones but for some reason the sim only offered me the stock Asobo versions so I went with the analogue Asobo one.
The plan was to fly into the Catskill mountains from Kingston-Ulster Airport on the right bank of the Hudson next to the Catskills (scenery by 69Yanks, which I’m sure he thought was a hilarious name) to Roxbury Airstrip (again freeware, in this case by the less suggestively named - as far as I know - Sashook), just on the Western edge of the Catskills.
When I loaded into the sim several in-game menus were already open - why I didn’t realise at first. Eventually it occurred to me to look at the Assistance Options page - everything had been reset to Easy. I didn’t - as I should have - go through all the options but just reset everything to Hard.
I eventually got the Turbo Porter running despite not having touched it for a goodly while, and taxied out to the runway. Now those of you who fly the PC-6 will know that its special party trick is that it insists on the rudder trim being set hard right for takeoff (move trims to the green marks). I did that as part of my takeoff preparations and opened the throttle. The plane promptly ran around in a tight right-hand circle.
Oh dear. That didn’t end well. I restarted the sim - a runway start to save time - and tried again.
This time I centred up the trim, pointed the aircraft down the runway and hauled it into the air. Phew! A harder start than I was expecting.
I got myself into the Catskills, and headed for my destination. I did notice, however, as I did this that the power lines below me were lacking in, well, power lines. The Power Lines add-on doesn’t quite reach everywhere, but I was pretty certain it covered the Catskills (spoiler: it does).
Then, as I flew over the Catskills, the windscreen began to ice up.
Now I was under the impression - clearly mistaken - that ice formed when the temperature was around 0° C and the air was full of moisture. But here I was in clear air at -12° C, watching my visibility disappear.
Luckily, my destination airfield wasn’t that far from my start point. Unluckily, when I restarted the sim, I’d forgotten to re-plot my route to my destination. In all the preoccupation with the icing, I flew right past it.
Oh well. Any airport in an ice storm! I saw one, and made preparations to land.
In doing so I noticed that this was one weird airfield. It looked as though someone had just plonked the bits and pieces of an airfield next to a straight section of a road - the runway didn’t stop at either end but just curved away at both.
I intended to have a better look at it with the drone camera once I was safely shut down, but while attempting to do that the Turbo Porter suddenly went into full reverse - I have to push a button on my joystick to get the throttle to do that, and my hand was on the mouse at the time, so I have no idea what happened.
Crash!
Quit in disgust!
That was yesterday. But Dagwit, I hear you cry, this is What Did You Do in MSFS today?
I’m getting to that. Today I tracked down the mysterious road-cum-airstrip I landed at yesterday, and spawned in there in the Bell 407 (had enough of Turbo Porters for the moment, thank you - though I did notice that today the Milviz/Blackbird ones were once more available).
The airfield is called Mountain Top Airport (NY02 will find it in-sim), and it’s not actually built on a road - except it is, sorta. Its runway doubles as the straight of a motor racing circuit, hence the curves off at either end.
I think it’s just stock scenery - I’d like to think to think a third-part designer wouldn’t have opted for levitating fuel pumps.
Anyway, when I’d satisfied my curiosity about Mountain View I fired up the 407 and headed off for my original destination of Roxbury Airstrip, a rather more traditional back-country airstrip - dodging, I’m happy to say, power lines on the way.
And that’s what I did in MSFS today.
What caused yesterday’s problems I don’t know. It may have been Dune-related, it may have had something to do with just having started to use Addons Linker. Hopefully, I’ll never know, because it won’t happen again. We’ll see, or preferably not.

Great minds think alike! (But some have better graphics skills than I do.)
