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

Default a321 from Quebec (CYQB) to Newark (KNEWR)

Toronto to Kingston Ontario.

Newark (KEWR) to Rochester (KROC) in the heart es30

Did a trip to the “Hacienda Napoles” where Pablo escobar had his own airport. It looks empty on MSFS but there’s a whole theme park there. (I’m from Colombia)



Planed flight: GMTA (Cherif El Idrissi), Moroco to a dirt strip at DAAB (Blida), 34KM south west of Algiers, Algeria. Real life got in the way so I stopped short at GMFO (Angads), just north of Oujda (what the ATC call it). So I did not make it out of Morocco.

Something for another day when time is in my favour.

Flying past Naldor, Morocco; but you knew that…:upside_down_face: sPK

KBAK to KMIE in the Beech D18. Weather was good but I wanted to practice my IFR flying with this aircraft. My first takeoff resulted in a right engine failure with the left engine slowly losing power. Executed the “impossible” turn and made it back, reloaded and tried again. Much better second takeoff. Loaded the approach for the ILS for runway 32 at KMIE and followed it perfectly with the autopilot behaving exactly like it should. Switched to VLOC and LOC NOM modes and captured the glideslope just beautifully. Was a very satisfying flight since everything went so well. (after the initial excitement that is)

Back tp Stockholm from Talinn - in s***** weather:

Pointe Noire in Congo






Rochester (KROC) to Charlotte (KCLT) in the default 737 max 8

Made a private charter mission in career mode in the C172:

I don’t usually use sim rate, but I was so fed up with the C172 that I did use it this time.

Then I decided that enough is enough, sold the C172 and bought a Corvalis for the private charter company. I intentionally ordered it to be delivered to Cairo, so I might get away from all that winter I got myself into when starting my company in career mode, however there are no/zero/nil charter missions in the zone, despite the issue having been closed as fixed :frowning:

Well I won’t have time to fly in the next couple of days, so I’ll just leave it there and see if any will pop up or if I will have to transfer it back to fly missions over the Alps in freezing conditions. Well, at least the Corvalis does have prop and airframe deice, so it should be better, right?..right?

2020, Was worried about power outages, so did not fly for two days. Winds died down, fires slowed down. Sunland dodged the fires this time, not like the Station Fire a decade ago. So, I saw a post here showing the fire ops app for 2020. I had no idea it tracked fires, just thought it put one where I wanted it… So, took a flight, Whew!
Started at Whiteman, with Say Intentions handling my ATC - VFR plan. Well done, btw… The nearby Sylmar Fire was already vivid from the airport.



Headed next for Malibu and Pacific Palisades. What a conflagration… The winds have died down enough to allow aircraft to operate.



Surprisingly, the Sunset Fire (Runyon Canyon) did not register, so the area was clear of smoke

After Hollywood I headed to my neck of the woods, and the Altadena area…


The event filled flight ended so it was time to return via my home in Sunland to Whiteman. Was amazed how the sim showed the air clearer in my area, as it was today, while it showed the southern valleys and LA basin enveloped in smoky haze.

Flew Charlotte (KCLT) to Providence (KPVD) in the default a321 Neo

Government DC-3 for a short hop from Kingston CYGK to Trenton CYTR

Not sure how I got it all dirty but this is how it looked enroute.

Flew the default a321 from Providence (KPVD) to Rochester (KROC)

"Low flying around the hills and valleys was always a thrill or, alternatively, we would head for a loch that was in an isolated spot.

Picking up to maximum speed as we descended towards it, we would fly low across the water and then skim across the trees at the far shore.

For obvious reasons, this was known as a ‘Dambuster beat up’ " - Bob Williams - Born to Fly

:firefighter: :salute:

Is that how the terrain in 2024 is representing Mount Lee? So much growth and trees. Hope that can be dealt with.

Apparently nothing :frowning:

I flew a private charter mission in career from Zurich (LSZH) to Innsbruck (LOWI) in the Corvalis:

Everything went fine, I even managed a decent landing, despite having very little experience in the Corvalis, then on the summary page I got an error message:

Of course I could not use the NEXT button in the background, I had to click OK, then I found myself back in LSZH and the job was not done.

Apparently if you do a career mission that goes beyond midnight local time, then you get this error. It has it’s own thread which is “feedback logged”, but of course there was no way I’d have known this without this happening to me. Needless to say, I’m not amused :angry:

I absolutely salute you with how you do a cold start, and drive down the runway, and do everything so perfectly. Wish I could do that…However, I just love to get into my helicopter which is already started and hit that throttle and off I go.

Different strokes!

At RCAF Station Trenton for my first session with the iniBuilds T-33

Did one circuit and landed. I’ll remap my joystick before the next flight and plan a cross country somewhere.
