Actually this was yesterday. I completed a nice long flight from Tampa (KTPA) to the Atlanta area (22GA) in the 172.
Nice bizjet on the ramp.
This is when a hurricane is nice. I got some good steady tailwinds from Nicole for half the trip up.
Finally made it before the fuel low warnings could kick off.
Had an mostly uneventful update - so far - and took the DC-3 up for some getting acquainted. Nice, for the most part, but I’ll have to get used to the handling on from take-off to getting flight on. Realized I’d not put my updated flight plan so ended the flight before I could try a landing.
Checked out the revised Princess Juliana / St. Maarten airport. Honestly, I’d be poolside at one of those hotels watching the approach rather than getting sandblasted on TikTok like everyone else. Love the Live Traffic - one of the PC-12s was departing but a nice mix of small liners, regional turboprops and even a DA-40!
Took the Jenny out for a quick spin around Pioneer Airport in Oshkosh. Loved it and can’t wait to try some more of the new aircraft.
Came ashore to quick didnt get my wheels all the way down, but it tried to get up that hillside:
I got my d-box to work MSFS today
Wept at the fact that MS included the A310 but the textures in the cockpit flew me right back to FS9.
Another slow and steady flight from KTPA to KSCD in Alabama.
Racing a Spirit Airline to the threshold of 19L.
The weather over Georgia wasn’t that great. Nicole still having an effect.
update to su11 and lose 20fps on average. weak
Had the utmost difficulty learning the helicopters. Sadly, until I get better, I’m going to have to keep some assists on.
Then took the Spruce out of San Francisco bay and was joined by another!
Some serious dissonance. The Volocopter is technically a helicopter (of sorts), yet I’m not allowed to launch out of any of the new Heliports. I can however land there.
I have yet to find any heliports.
Secondly, I’m saddend to discover the lack of Water Runways for the Spruce Goose, near the site of her original home in Orange County, CA.
You’d think she’d have the watery red carpet rolled out for her, figuratively speaking.
I had to use the Content Manager and type in the word “heliport” to find the ICAO codes for the ones I installed. Some are very bespoke, so I’m trying to be thoughtful since SSD space is always foremost in my mind.
I raised it to the Community Managers, Dev Team confirms it’s an oversight so hopefully will get fixed!
Ah, ok. It’s chaos at the US Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles. I’ll be picking up Iniscene’s Hooper Heliport tomorrow.
EDIT: Forgot to post the pic.
Flying the A310 to Hong King from Australia. First impressions it’s a great aircraft reminds me of the Level D 767.
A little dismayed by the apparent quality drop us Xbox simmers seem to have suffered with the update.
Regardless, got a new 4K tv so continued my cross Canada trek. From Halifax to Charlottetown and then a short hop over to miscouche. weather wasn’t great which made things interesting.
Doing the glider training missions
However I’m stuck with the third one, where winch cable snap should be emulated and a circuit is to be flown. If I manually release the cable when told, then screen blacks out as if I crashed the plane. If I wait for the cable to auto release, then screen blacks out as if I crashed the plane 
I had 100+ winch take offs IRL, can’t figure out what is wrong here…
Got the rotary controls dialed in on my setup and it feels great.
What a gorgeous sim!
