From the 1st post in “What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 1)”, back in September of 2020:

In the spirit of this topic, please keep posts related to what you did as far as flying in MSFS. If you are having an issue, been troubleshooting or need assistance, please use an appropriate category on the forum.
2020, Dang, WDYDIMSFST (Part 3), whew! So, made the dive into the 727 Pax and it has a learning curve, for the 1960s. Used the auto crew thing, which, as I’m not an aspiring RL pilot, it suits me. The AP will be something to figure out more as will the FMC. But the plane flies decently and suits my period-flying bug. Milwaukee to Minneapolis-St. Paul. Cheers!
Quick apologies to anyone who got annoyed by the number of images in my recent travelogue posting. I got overly excited after the flight and didn’t realize I was actually putting 21 images into my posting. Won’t happen again.
I was confused too! The post was acting all weird as the mod was doing the changes in the background and I had no idea what was happening then I saw your post and was like, “Aw dang it.”
Well, I accepted a nice VIP contract from near Beijing to near New Delhi that could give me some millions. I was almost sure that a PC-24 could not get there in a single fuel load, but I wanted to test it. Not in Beta, Live environment.
When in cruise I realized that the full flight time was about 6:30 hours and I had fuel just for 7:15. Few miles later the ratio had lowered and obviously I could not reach VIHR, so I used a magic wand and I refilled the tanks. My customer would get to India, no matter what.
A couple of hours later I casually found out that the flight plan could take me near the Everest. Some more fuel refilled out of nowhere did not matter now, so I took a long way and passed just over it. When I arrived there I found that the Everest in the sim looks less tall than some other mountains around. Hmmm… I’ll check that better another day.
I’ve arrived to Nissar 8 hours after take off. Counting all bonuses it has rewarded me 7 million. Not bad, but it was cheating. But the real problem was allowing that plane to do that mission in the first place.
Apart from that, I was just doing my ordinary and boring job.
As for a while now I flew the Albatros VOR to VOR as the G3X touch (no AAU3 for this plane) cannot handle GPS very well. The flight was pretty nice, especially as weather became cloudy in the vicinity of Santiago. Landing went pretty bad, I even bounced off once… I should have remembered how this plane drops like a stone if you pull throttle to idle too soon… On the other hand the albatros is a military training jet, I guess it can handle 404fpm@1.17g on landing without crying for engineers.
Been flying more Medevac Missions with the PC-12. Despite all the crazy flaws, it’s still amazing. Great ambience during an early morning run in Alaska.
Since there is so much more to see from groundlevel and many unseen forces and the impact they can make in the sim
I bought me a boat to see if harbor patrol could be intresting for some discovery
And see how it behave
I know I posted the MSFS 2024 edition of the flight, here’s the 2020 edition of it… I know your thinking, how can a weekly flight be just shy of 5.5 hours… It’s because the pilot got tired and decided to nap halfway through the flight
Buffalo (KBUF) to Charlotte (KCLT) in the Fenix a319 my Fenix spun out of control randomly again I wonder what is happening for it to keep nose diving like that
All images from the three POIs of WU19 Brazil along the route.
This flight started in Natal, the northeastern capital of rio grande do norte. In 2017 Natal was documented the most dangerous city of Brazil and 4th world wide.
When I left I made sure to check Arena das Dunas, a stadium which was build for the football world championships 2014 in Brazil. Sadly, Natal doesn’t actually have a first league team de futebol, so there is no real need for such a big thing (which is why the stands were deconstructed considerably).
The route took me southwards, along the coast line until I finally reached Maceió.
I was greeted by the Farol da Ponta Verde, a lighthouse that was put on a concrete block in the open water to resist the tide.
Also the Estádio Rei Pelé is located nearby, a stadium build in 1970 for football mainly, but nowadays also used for other events. Obviously it was named after the famous football legend Pelé.
Won’t happen again.
