Once more in the TBM with Beyond ATC guiding me from EBLG (Liege, Belgium) to LOWL (Linz, Austria).
Quite a long flight compared to what I usually do, but it’s the weekend!
More pictures in here ...
Weather seems good so far, we won’t be going near these showers
Spotted EBST! Close to where I actually live.
Cruising at FL290
Looks like the weather is a little less ideal down there
I was hoping for clear weather at FL290 but no
Ok … I underestimated how long the flight was and I’m getting sleepy 
Good thing Beyond ATC woke me up!
I’m surprised seeing rain at -10°C was expecting icing
And here we are! Another flawlessly guided flight by Beyond ATC.

I was flying a very pleasant flight from Vegas to Seattle setting off just after dawn, clear skies and enjoying the view over the Rockies. I hadn’t taken any pics.
At about half way there were some minor pressurisation issues, my A320-200 was experiencing fluctuations in cabin pressure which were not normal. I investigated but they were not serious so we carried on for some time at FL380.
Then there was a sudden loss of pressure. Oxygen masks on, dial the altitude knob down, open descent, full speedbrakes. OK we are descending, dial the speed up to maximum to increase the descent rate, declare emergency, and check our descent altitude. We are over the rockies and the terrain display says 14,000 ft tops so 15,000 is our base for now.
BATC was very unhelpful, refused to acknowledge our emergency nor a mayday. Eventually I told it I was ready for descent, then it played along.
At 15,000 ft now and the cabin pressure is maintaining about 10,000 ft so not a total pressure loss and this is OK for our passengers. I checked and they all seemed pretty relaxed, one of them was still playing on his Nintendo Switch.
Not too far from Seattle, so we stepped down to 10,000 ft as terrain allowed and then flew a normal approach and landing.
All passengers safely deboarded. The plane has been handed over to maintenance because we were unable to figure out the cause during the flight.

So I was sitting on the runway over in Madagascar minding my own business when I got jumped by four flightless birds, when I came to we were in the air. The flightless birds were at the helm and the animal friends have taken over the rest of the plane

Today I took Taog’s fantastic new Huey up for some low level fun around the German North Sea islands Helgoland and Düne. Taog’s Lama & Alouette are my favorite helicopters in the game and the Huey is just as good, maybe even slightly better!

Taking off out of Jolly ol’ England (Manchester). I love sunset flights.
Found the runway somehow. These approaches in Europe are crazy.

Western Airlines! The ooooooonly way to fly. A staple when I was growing up, and gone way before I started simming in 1995. Nice flight from San Diego to Salt Lake City. Thought I had removed LVFR, but, yikes, I had my new, payware BMOTW KSAN on with it on as well. BATC turned me way too soon, on the 16R approach, so I’ll ignore calls like that in the future.

Had a few days off simming due to family visit. Continued with my tour of the UK. Edinburgh (EGPH) down to Carlisle (EGNC) with glorious live weather, then Carlisle down to Llanbedr (EGFD) and finally Llanbedr down to Swansea (EGFH). All visual landings with the FSR500.
It was one of those days when MSFS performed perfectly, flying between FL90 and FL180 things just worked and it looked great. I got caught up looking out the window so only got a couple of screenshots. Flew over a very unusual location - turned out to be an ‘MOD’ site just North of Carlisle…
Great views over North Wales, right over Mount Snowdon and could even make out the mountain railway.
Off to tour the Irish Republic next…
Neil.
