That was me in my DC-3, nothing to see here. :wink: The copilot forgot to hang the catch bucket on the right engine after shut down.

I think the external view of your aircraft is way too small. it lacks detail and definition and looks like a toy plane. A larger aircraft would make the video a lot more enjoyable to watch.

I must say the lighting has really improved from 2020, especially those ground lights :astonished:

2020, KSEA to KBUR, drizzly start, hazy end. PMDG almost always makes an RNAV arrival easy as pie. Say Intentions started off well, got me down fine, then forgot me on the ground. That’s some tight parking at KBUR.

So here’s Pineapple Packages heroic attempt at our first night time ‘medium’ delivery, flying ‘bulk cargo’ - wink, wink, nudge, nudge - from LGKZ / Filippos / Greece to LIPM / Modena / Italy:

Take off into a lovely Greek sunset. All well and good.

Lovely evening clouds. All well and good

Arriving at the lovely Italian coast. All well and good.

Bit of weather ahead, but our destination is clear. All well and good.

Aliens are landing, but they’re friendly. All well and good.

Bit low on the approach, but with 500 meters of runway ahead we really have to nail our 408 right onto the threshold. All well and good.




Well…

Seems even we, at the very competent and very professional logistics power house that is Pineapple Packages, are at the mercy of our digital overlords sometimes.

As it turns out, there was a bit of a problem with a certain piece of FS2020 scenery that was a bit incompatible with FS2024 and PLACED A HARD VERTICAL 50CM EDGE RIGHT ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE RUNWAY THAT DESTROYED OUR LANDING GEAR AND CATAPULTED OUR NOSE INTO THE AIR AND SMASHED OUR TAIL INTO THE GROUND!!!

NOT SO WELL AND GOOD AT ALL NOW, IS IT?!

sigh

But not to worry.

The Pinapple PipePunters Patallion will hammer all the bits and pieces back into airplane shape and a certain amount of ‘bulk cargo’ - wink, wink, nudge, nudge - could be scraped off the wet runway and deliverd to an overwhelmingly happy and perfectly calm customer as well.

Because here at Pineapple Packages, there are no such things as ‘problems’ or ‘setbacks’ or ‘stupid bugs’. There are only opportunities to grow, and we welcome each and every one of them!

Because only through them can we become even better at our mission: Flying your perfectly legitimate products into uncontrolled, remote airfileds too small for cargo airplanes! So don’t hesitate and book a flight with us today!

I’ve been reading James Michener’s “Centennial”, much of which takes place along the south branch of the Platte River. I decided to see how flight sim 2020 portrays that area. Flew the cessna 152 from N Platte airport, and flew along the south branch. The irrigation projects are obvious, and the land appears fertile.

Anybody live in Nebraska and familier with this area in rl? Is the fs2020 scenery close?
