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

I continued my journey along the east coast of Australia, from Canberra (YSCB) to Shellharbour (YSHL) and then to Sydney (YSSY)…

Here I took a tour of the city by helicopter…

I love flying around Australia. Usually I’m flying the Robin CAP10.

Landed at Gsteigwiler-Interlaken helipad (LSXG). Luckily with all those people watching me land, I didn’t stuff it up. Lovely little heliport at the foot of the Alps.

The scenery was downloaded from https://flightsim.to

I am digging this sim..it is just a joy to go anywhere on this planet at the comfort of your coach..Happy weekend cheers.
Landing somewhere in Colorado.



Tonight I flew Fenix A320 from EGKK to EGPH. Edinburgh looked so pretty at dusk!


Took the GotGravel Vertigo for a spin to test it at high altitudes out in the desert. Got up to about FL550 before it started shaking violently and finally stalled out. Absolutely wild turbulent spin, didn’t manage to pull out of it until about FL250, but it would’ve killed me IRL – my screen went into redout doing negative Gs. :smiley:

Got a nice shot of the Salton Sea up through Palm Springs:

Ready to roll!!!

(Sigh) I finally bought the Airbus A319 from LVFR.

Despite the seething hatred this thing gets for some reason, I absolutely love it, especially considering I generally don’t fly Airliners. Although, I have found myself flying the 320 more as well.

I just look at it as it’s literally just a “shortened A320” because it is.

Took her for a quick test spin from KSAN to LAX.

As long as you’re having fun - it’s all good! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I had some fun in VR with the C172 and the new avionics at 330am. Winds 30kts and gusting. Heavy rain with zero visibility in places. In other places, the moon came out and the night sky became visible. I started out at CYYJ Victoria and flew IFR around the area. I landed straight into that wind back at CYYJ, and had some fun taxiing back to go again. I needed full rudder and full differential braking to get the tail around. I headed over to Friday Harbour, but the crosswind component was too high. I diverted to Oak Harbour, going into a 40kt headwind with 100kts of airspeed. Very nice side slip landing with ground affect included. Wowsers! That was fun!

Flew from TJSJ to TNCM with 1800lbs of cargo. For some reason the game crashed thrice just north of the BVI. This is the 4th attempt for this route, and I made it to the end.


Sat morning KJAC


Flew from San Francisco (KSFO) to Reno (KRNO). It was raining on takeoff and landing.

“After forty days, Noah sent out a P-40 Warhawk, and it did not return. Thus Noah knew the Earth was once again suitable for soft field operations from unimproved airstrips.”

That’s how that story goes right?

“Enemy shipping sighted, sir. Commencing strafing run.”

Just having fun sight seeing in the new inibuilds P-40F. Flies real nice, doesn’t try to actively murder you on take-off or landing, but will still bite if you’re careless or reckless.

Did some nature sightseeing for passengers in south New Zealand in Kodiak 100. NZMF → NZQN
Was a bit surprised to see snow, when outside temperature was 17ºC.






Graz Austria


Flew with a good friend of mine I hadn’t really been in contact with since he joined the Marines.

Today, we spent the last 4 or so hours just cruising around to different places.

KLAX - KLAS
KLAS - KSEZ
Machloop
Grand Canyon Trench Run in F-18s
…and finished off the night with his home turf, KORD to KDTW.





Kind’ve an emotional experience to be an honest sap, but neither of us have the financial means to really meet up to have a beer, so this is the next best thing.

Took the new R22 update through the Barron Gorge.
Great scenery by @Nethiuz :wink::clinking_beer_mugs:
City footage coming soon.

Fun?  Fun??!! Sounds like you need either a better cardiologist, (for the heart-attacks), or treatment for being a blatant masochist!  :wink:

I know that I would be white-knuckles all the way!

btw, Graz is in Austria.. just saying.
