And after 3 hours…TFFF-TFFR

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
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!

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 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?
), 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! ![]()
