It’s been a few weeks since I’ve last posted and I’ve continued to make progress on my around the world tour.
My most recent legs have taken me and my XBOX TBM from Kolkata and the Ganges River delta, through Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, Chang Mai-Bangkok-Phuket, in Thailand, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and across the equator to Jakarta and finally Bali.
Flying in the tropics has been smooth sailing in the flight levels - no head/tailwinds to speak of - though there has been the typical smog of the big cities and tropical rains.
Flying through the Lesser Sinda Islands has been very interesting, the numerous volcanoes creating their own weather!
Since the last MSFS update, the TBM930 has all its indicator sounds back and the FMS hasn’t done any weird approach routing or dropped waypoints.
I’m well past the halfway point now and will continue southward towards Darwin and Adelaide, my most southern extent. After that it will be northward bound, heading towards home!

Took the Black Square Bonanza out for a spin, and spent so much time in there I ended up living in a plane down by the RIVER!! Seriously magical upgrade for an already awesome plane. Had fun flying all over Southern California, took out all the GPS-es and went for some nice VORs, then plopped in the GTN-750 and followed the pink line for a while. If anyone needs me, you know where to find me. DOWN BY THE RIVER in my Bonanza.

Exploring South Africa: FAPM FAHR
It’s not easy to do go-around at 5500ft altitude. C172 does not climb as easy as at sea-level. It’s good I decided not to land with full flaps.

Today scheduled flight: EasyJet Airbus A320 from London-Heathrow (EGLL) to Toulouse-Blagnac (LFBO).
After about one hour of flying, on descent to waypoint NARAK, I just got a warning “Connection Lost”, bandwidth is too low for data streaming and it automactially switched to offline. I tried to reset “Online Functionlity” from ON to OFF and back to ON again as suggested from Asobo, but my sim just crashed right after that unfortunately.

In real life The B-2 Spirit’s home is Whitefield AFB in Missouri USA.
In the world map screen if you zoom in you can spot some specialty airplanes including the above mentioned.
First there was a cool departure-
And a cool arrival
And in between departure and arrival back to Whiteman AFB, the (virtual) Kansas City Chiefs fans had a wild introduction to their game…
