Today was interesting. A HOLY COW moment in Hawaii. I was playing with some settings today and got tied up looking at the new tire tracks, Terrain and such, and out the corner of my eye, WHATâŠCOWSâŠI say? Spun around for a closer look, and they werenât having it lol. They started scattering when I approached them. Had a ball chasing um round! Thought I was in Texas for a minute rounding um up. Nope it was Hawaii. Still laughing bout itâŠHappy Flying all
Whats that moving around over there?
Figured Iâd lean into that âlow-n-slowâ focus on 2024 and did a little bush flying around Yosemite. Got to admit the ground level looks nice out in the wilderness.
Originally I talked about doing two flights today, the second flight I was going to go to Easter Island. Although I quickly learned I was mistaken, as I thought my drone or the hypersonic jet from MSFS2020 made its way to MSFS2024. I was wrong for both. So instead my second flight will be the Friday fly-in that I chose to do at night because I really like the night-life especially since they made the changes that they did in MSFS2024
On a more serious note, after the Cessna cow chase, I took this girl for a rip. She was good and strong with power. Iâm setting up a profile for her now. Try to Tame her down a bit. She felt capable of some good flights in the Future for my style of flyingâŠ
[FS24] Before I hopped into the cockpit, I installed some recently arrived new Corsair RAM, doubling my memory from 32 to 64 GB. Easy install and immediately noticeable difference in the sim in both the GA aircraft and flying tubes.
Once back in the Carenado King Air, we continued our trip along Highway 50, taking off from Grand Junction to Pueblo. This was a beautiful late-afternoon flight, but I got a little surprise about 20 miles out from Pueblo: my left engine completely failed! Despite attempts at a restart, nothing worked, so it looked like we were going to limp into the field. Nerves were high for those last few miles and there was a palpable sense of relief once the wheels were on the ground!
Still not sure what went wrong, but we will have a mechanic check out the old girl in the morning. Definitely an exciting evening!
Territory #11. Tour of Spain. From Gibraltar up to the North East, then across to Bilbao. Back down via Madrid to the Costa del Sol. Out East to the Balearic Islands. Then up the East coast of Spain to Barcelona and the Pryrenees. 14 hours flight time to explore this imposing country.
The final stop was Seo De Urgel (LESO) in the Pyrenees, which is effectively Andorra airport (despite not being within mountain-locked principality). Andorra is the next destination.
For some unknown reason the left enginge stopped twice during the flight, I have no idea why. There was quite enough fuel, I have not been tampering with the condition levers or anything. Otherwise the flight itself was quite okay. However after landing the brakes just stuck and I could not figure out how to release them. Iâve seen this on several aircraft in FS24, sometimes pressing and releasing the brakes help, sometimes not.
Took the Vjet for a spin today, checking out some new settings. After taking off, I decided to land at Dillingham in Hawaii and make a few more minor adjustments. THENâŠOh NOâŠThe cows have made it to the other side of the island. lol. They are determined to get me now for chasing them on the other side. They ran out the bushes and tried to hamper my landing. What! I held course and they ran back in the bushes. I found um after sitting still, took off, made a few low passes and scattered um again. Somebody better be rounding up some cows. Iâm looking for a freezer addon as we speak.
