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

A quick BA shuttle run from EGCC (Manchester) to EGLL ( Heathrow).

Not much going on to be fair, although VNAV couldn’t get me down enough and the final turn to the approach was early so skipped the IAF by quite a bit leaving me with lots of work to do…

Not sure if it was me or the A320 V2.

Cheers, Neil.

Did the weekly flight as usual, changed up the route a bit, took a slower plane. Since I fly solo my plane and route is always different compared to what they have set out but the start/end airports remain the same:

I was continuing an personal challenge to complete a Round the World trip. Level of difficulty; use only the Twin Otter. I started at CYYC, at the Kenn Borek hangars, since this is home of the Antarctic Mercy flights. CYYC is also home to the De Haviland Canada Maintenance hangars, the Twotter will feel completely at home here.

First big challenges were the 'hops from Labrador to Greenland, Greenland to Iceland and Iceland to Scotland (Hebrides). Currently in Egypt, but my flight out of Cairo met with a lousy CoD.

I’ve had to rely on maxing my fuel to 80% on those long legs. Since I also work for a living I can only limit my time to about 5 hours, also, need to do stuff around the house, so Auto Pilot is my friend.

I’ve long ago decided that I will minimize usage of any facilities in Russia, I have it down to one stop only.

Also bought the Goshawk. Nice flyer. First time trying a carrier landing, been over a decade since the bunch and I did that stuff. Happy Independence Day!

American Airlines actually briefly operated the e190 after the us airways merger but retired them early

Back in MSFS after a couple of months. I did a flight from KSFO to KRNO (after having to re-configure half of my controls that lost the settings after the last updates).

Crashed a halo pelican around the Charlotte on the return flight from Richmond, came in way to hot after batteries and avionics switched off somehow in flight and I was going so fast I don’t think this aircraft would be very recoverable :slight_smile:

We finished the third and final part of our STL to MCI tour today. Head over to Pee-Wee and Nag’s Sky Tours (and Other Thoughts) to give it a read.


That’s the biggest shuttlecock I’ve ever seen!


K.C. sure knows how to do memorials…


…and hotel disasters.


To the moon…or at least Anaheim!


Who needs an airport when you can have some junker cars?

Today (technically yesterday) I planned all day to sit down and do a flight in time for the fireworks to start as I flew. I had setup the sim so that it was butter smooth the last time I used it. I sat down, loaded my flight, and the frame rates were subpar, quite jerky and annoying. At 10pm the fireworks never happened. I figured out later that the real time date is based on UTC, but the time is local time based on my machine time… so the sim thought it was 10pm tomorrow night. The frame rates continued to decline, and it was even more annoying. I decided to just land and it was bad landing because of the bad sim performance, so I rage quit it.

Then after I settled down I decided to try flying again and check out the Washington DC scenery. It was butter smooth. I was in the Icon A5 and I decided to land on the water as I’d done many times. It was a perfect landing…best water landing for me yet. Then when the plane came to rest in the water and I was about to lower the water rudder, the screen went blank and the sim claimed I crashed into the water.

I calmly and silently rage quit. And that was the end of my use of this software. It’s always been a disappointment.

Continued my wanderings in the Vision Jet in VR from Burgas (LBBG) to Istambul Ataturk (LTBA) on BeyondATC

Based on all the screenshots, I definitely do not hold my head level, all the screenshots are slanting to the right… :flushed:

Flight was rather short, but fun. I did not record it all, but I did record my flounderings during approach and landing in both 2D and 3D SBS.

Not today but yesterday I took out the new C-46 Commando for a test/ review flight. I went from Kunming to Luliang in China using flying the hump scenery. I created a video on my channel as well. I will put a link below for those interested.

Purchased the Comanche on Xbox, loving it, best aircraft I have purchased yet!

Just learning it currently, flying around UK, below Isle of White across to France.
