Short flight from Santa Maria Airport to Halter Ranch Vineyard, a beautiful place in real life.
Hope to see some third-party scenario about it in the future.
In the sim that strip is so bumpy.

Easy Saturday Afternoon (woke up late IRL) - taking the 170 for an early dinner at Block Island from Newport.
Happiness is trimmed level, in cruise.

My latest legs on my around-the-world journey sees me travelling across the Arabian peninsula to Dubai, UAE.
Despite the vastness of the Arabian desert, there are incredible sights, from natural forces, such as sea and desert, to human created features seen in agriculture and urbanization.

Manchester (EGCC) to London City (EGLC) tonight
Manchester ground was really helpful and took time to improve my flight plan by a lot. I tried to plan airways as close as possible to a direct line between the two airports, but I did not realise that there was actually an epic STAR to London City that starts almost at Manchester.
The flight itself was pretty uneventful, but as I was on very short final, even below minimums, I got a connection lost window, which obscures most of the screen… I managed to tick it off and land (another sub par one) but oh boy, I wish that error message was smaller, and in a corner…
As for the good news, I was absolutely awed how the full Moon illuminates the airplane at night. So far if I ever tried to take exterior pictures in a night flight, the best I could haveI were outlines against the lights of a city.
I recorded the flight too, but as usual it will take time to upload and process:

Practicing with the updated Longitude.
Doing KSNA John Wayne → L35 Big Bear, which is a short hop for a jet… but there’s no ILS there, and while there is a published RNAV approach for runway 26, in-game ATC gave me a visual approach and vectored me in (which, amazingly, actually sorta put me in the right direction for once 
)
I’m still having trouble lining up manually in the Longitude; I’m used to taking GA props or the Vision jet in here and they’re lighter and easier to maneuver! Practice makes perfect…
Nice view of Fashion Island shopping center during climb out of John Wayne:

Today I flew over a war zone. A panoramic flight over Donetsk, Opytne and Avdeevka, from Donetsk International Airport. From 2015 to 2022, the frontline of the Ukrainian civil war was frozen exactly at the runway of this airport. A few months ago, the forces of Donetsk Peoples’ Republic, helped by Russia, managed to move the front a little to the north, after Opytne. Despite the airplanes and buses at the airport, this is pure fantasy. It has been completely ruined during 8 years of war. No wonder it is an international airport without ATC.
A busy phantom airport.
Central Donetsk (under Russian control).
Still over central Donetsk.
The frontline is situated now after that village along the river, called Opytne.
Opytne.
Typical Sovietic residential sector at Adveevka, which has been transformed into a fortress by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Almost landing.
The airport still exists on maps and on MSFS 2020. In reality, it’s completely ruined and no aircraft uses it.
Parked at a phantom airport.
Edit: I’ve also edited the next short I’ll publish on my Youtube channel next monday (https://youtube.com/@fswt).

A loop around Scotland. After more than a few updates of a freeware Lossiemouth and one for the Eurofighter, I gave it and other locations a whirl (and right after, Lossiemouth was updated again). Fine flight, though.

A smorgasboard of flying today - I needed the break after a really long and exhausting week at the day job.
Getting reacquainted with the Turbo Bonanza - I fixed Robert Young’s mod so you no longer need to keep the Working Title G1000 NXi 0.1.4 “bridge utility” in the Marketplace. It will now reference the latest G1000 NXi in the sim itself. ASI still broke though.
Recreated a typical US Embassy Staggerwing Courier Flight - Duxford to Paris. The aluminum panel mod lightens up the interior a lot - I really like it.
Tried out the Baron - I typically eschewed this twin because I much prefer the DA62, but it was okay. Because of the similarity of the panel, it felt like a twin Bonanza of sorts. I can’t say I’d be flying this again - nothing really wrong with it, it just didn’t appeal to me for one reason or another.
Orlando to Key West in the SR22 - RWY09 is always a picturesque approach with the cruise ships clustered in the harbor.

Crashed the Longitude at Big Bear again. Still getting the hang of doing a manual pattern in this bird; it flies like an airliner and it’s easy to end up overcorrecting and getting yourself into a stall on final if you’re too high or not lined up right!
Stay alive, go around.

Hello, I’ve just purchased this aircraft today after some research. As a beginner into casual flight as well as some more serious stuff, it’s perfect!

The Vison Jet or the HondaJet? Though both are similar and very well done.
I bought the VJ first to start flying more by the books as it seemed more for the student pilot and I just love the panoramic view from it.
The HJ has more jet like performance and I like its ergonomy better, but it is less forgiving.
Both have the same issues with the “flight plan unsynchronised” or maybe I have. I’m not sure.
But I can only recommend them anyway.
