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

TNCM-TFFF at night



And after 3 hours…TFFF-TFFR

Performed a steep landing at Skiathos in strong crosswind:

Vernon with (left to right) Kalamalka Lake, Swan Lake, Okanagan Lake, B.C.

Fog over Okanagan Lake, real weather, real-time, Kelowna, B.C.

Dubai to Abu Dhabi hop. Waiting for the big mamma to depart…



Cheers,
Nish

Flying the stunning DC-3 between old former RAF bases in UK ( Devon to Yorkshire ) . Lovely day for it ! .

Hi! Can somebody explain why - after each update - we users always lose the ability to fly big traffic airplanes via autopilot – and lose the IFR to the runway of our destinations??? Mostly the few ILS are also gone!!

Flew the CRJ 700 on Delta Connections route from Great Falls Montana to Salt Lake City Utah

Somewhere in North Germany and Lübeck (EDHL) with DRF Luftrettung:




Flew from Billings Montana to Rapid City SD.
Obviously had to stop by Mount Rushmore to snap a pic.

I did a 40min flight and was so amazed i had to shrink it into a short video.

St John foggy approach


Kodiak 100 Series II STOL flight from Bradley Lake To Nanwalek, Alaska, landing on an 850 feet airstrip!

Made it back to my new hq2 Charlotte NC, flight aware had an American a321 going from Salt Lake City to Charlotte so I hoped in the LatinA321 NEO and did that flight

Today’s flight is from Maniitsoq, on Greenland’s west coast, to Kulusuk on Greenland’s eastern shore. The early morning weather in Maniitsoq was similar to landing the other day - sleet, dark and windy.

Sunrise is at a leisurely 10 am this far north in the middle of December.

Chasing sunrise eastward

Arctic moon in the west, FL310 cruising at 342 knots

New instrument panel in the TBM today. Looks like the G3000? Anyone know?

Approach to Kulusuk. RNAV in real life, VFR in sim life. Terrific weather!

Taxiing to the terminal

Updated TBM has doors that open!

Next leg on the tour is to Reykjavik - Keflavik and then to the Faroe Islands.

Happy flying! :airplane: :sunglasses:

RJOO to RJCC. Scenic flight over Yukiguni (western shore of Honshu), which just got snowier on the move north. Was concerned about the way the plane was frosting up, but it worked out.










Saw that a B-52 Stratofortress was released on the Marketplace today! Got excited. Saw who it’s made by. Muttered some unpleasant words relating to “no” with a slight chuckle and promptly disregarded it.

Went to watch some reviews on YouTube (I feel sorry for those that had to put themselves through that). This B-52 makes Captain Sim and Bredok3D look like top-notch effort.

Then I took the updated VisionJet for a short hop up the Florida Keys.


flew my B350 above egypt

Flew a “stock” Cessna 172 from Ostafeyvo (UUMO) around central Moscow, got thoroughly lost, and then used all the Moscow landmarks I installed to figure out where I was.

Eventually, (after several tries, go-arounds and getting lost again), I was able to land my Cessna on Red Square.  (Landing a Cessna in Red Square has been one of my “bucket items” for every flight sim I’ve ever owned.)  There’s even a “Bush Trip”, (Gorbachev trip? :wink:), published on flightsim.to that duplicates Mathias Rust’s flight to Red square.

Here you can see Lenin’s tomb, (it’s still there and I believe you can still visit and see Lenin’s body), the Kremlin behind it and St. Basil’s Cathedral, (also a big tourist spot).  Not shown is GUM on the far left and what used to be the Lenin Museum to the rear right.

I almost nailed the landing ice-cold until I over-flared and bounced like a basketball. Didn’t wreck the plane though.

Note this picture was taken before the MVD, (МВД - the Russian Federal Police, like the FBI), showed up on the scene, arrested me, and hauled my turkey butt to jail! :wink:
