What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 3)

Messina to Valletta Harbor in the Savoia Marchetti S.55X.

Tied up by Molo Norimberga dock:

Taxiing out of the harbor. The Stele della Madonna della Lettera is to the left:

Take-off:

Heading down the coast of Sicily:

Thought about stopping at Syracuse, but descided to keep flying:

Approaching Valletta Harbor:

Getting ready to land…:

…Passed Fort St Angelo:

With all the ships and boats in the harbor, it was hard to find a good spot where I could tie up:

I spent some Saturday time setting up a new add on for boat marinas. Here are some shots of marinas on the ILS into SFO. Far as I can see no performance hit.
[excuse the fog… it is SFO]

Wahlstedt (EDHW) to Koster Vig (EKMN) in the Junkers F13

Wahlstedl is a small grass airstrip west of Lubeck:

After take-off, we meet up with the A20 and follow it east to the city:

Of note in Lubeck is the Holstentor and museum:

Turning north, we follow the coast past the town of Gromitz:

To the Fehmarn Sound Bridge connecting the mainland to the island. This is too tempting!

Following the E47, I thought a bridge just north of Nykobing Falster was missing, but looking at the map, it appears that building a tunnel was more economical:

The sun has set, it’s getting cold in the cockpit, so time to find a place to land:

Koster Vig (EKMN) is just a grass strip two miles from the town of Lendemarke, where I hope to find a bed-n-breakfast where I can spend the night:

Noticed that the Airvan had a 24 hour free trial, so I took her out for a spin from KTVL to KSAC.

Fun plane. Flies about how you would expect a van on wings would fly…

Continued my 48 Capitals tour with the Comanche from Concord to Boston-Logan. Quite some bad weather out there, but we made it!

Hello,

my friend and I did another flight with the Blaniks. Live weather, classic ridge soaring day at Osório.
Better editing, I guess, just the fun parts.

Cheers

Well, I found a B&B in Lendemarke where I could spend the night, but when I returned to Koster Vig (EKMN) the next morning, I found that my Junkers F13 had morphed into a Cessna T207A overnight! :magic_wand:

Today we are sightseeing, visting some castles as we head northward along the coast:

1st sight - Valloe Castle:

A bit of a detour inland to Roskilde to see the Cathedral:

Then due east to overfly Kobenhavn:

North to Frederiksborg Castle…

… and Fredensborg Palace:

East again to Kronborg Castle:

Before heading across the sound to land at Hoganas (ESMH):

A small glider airfield that conveniently is right next to the Hoganas golf club. There are a couple of restaurants by the airport that I can choose between for lunch after my round of golf too: :clinking_beer_mugs:

Taking the 737-800 from KSMF to KBOI as I continue to learn her systems. Overall, a beautiful late afternoon flight, but I came in too high for the glideslope, so we had to do a go-around where I got a bit….creative….on the landing because it is late in the real world.

I am sure the higher ups at Alaska Airlines will be giving me a call soon after the numerous lawsuits are filed. But, we got everyone down in one piece!

I have thought about more so focusing on MSFS 2024 than 2020 as it tends to get a bit much keeping up with the two sims and trying to keep my two pilots in the same areas but right now it’s just a thought. I would have to get my 2020 pilot back to Toronto (CYYZ) to do that

2020, Van Nuys to San Simeon. Last of the winter storms in Southern California? Wanted to see how the Mugu Coast Guard helipad mod looked. The Bonanza Black Square Pro is a star in the hanger.

Pt. Mugu - will have to do a cg flight or two in the helo soon to inaugurate the station

Santa Barbara is very lonely since Asobo changed something that made all the oil derricks in the channel disappear - the pads remain, levitated in the air. All you 2024 people got the coastal oil derricks with landable pads in the Channel Islands area?

Only time I personally went to the castle, it was pouring rain, but still enchanting.

Though Hearst strip is actually shut down, it works fine and even has some ground crew and small strip looking features thanks to a free mod.
