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

Fixed my USB hub and I’m back in action! Quick jaunt from KPDX to KBFI

Turning final at La Baule (LFRE) west of France. MSFS2024 | SU3 Beta 1.5.13.0 | Carenado PA28 Dakota | Real time weather MSFS.

Salt Lake City, Utah (KSLC) to Portland, Oregon (KPDX) in the always amazing Black Square Starship. And holy heck, the HOOD5 arrival into Portland is gorgeous.

Flew the Black Square King Air from Provo UT to Las Vegas, then had some fun in the CAP 4 and Carbon Cub on a nice gras strip I found





Flew the CRJ 10000 v2 Fort Wayne (KFWA) to Buffalo (KBUF) to see how it would handle low cost carrier ops, turns out it would do ok on US low cost carrier routes :slight_smile:

2020, Dove into the Jaguar for the first time. Was enamored by its wicked look back in the 80s. Coldly sobered by this flight as the plane drank fuel rapidly. Still, a good flyer. Flying around SW Deutschland out of RAF Bruggen…










I began a 8 hour flight from Africa to Poland in the A321lr. 4 hours in and I forgot about not using cursor mode in inibuilds airbuses and I went and used it by mistake, instantly sending the plane into TOGA. I managed to salvage it but once I used the cursor during flight the ai pilot will keep interrupting the flight. So ended flight and flew a flight from Alicante to Manchester, remembering not to touch cursor mode. I use the mouse instead. Funny enough the bug was reported to inibuilds around 7 months ago and I’ve seen it mentioned on here, but doesn’t seem to have been fixed.

An ~1-hour tour around Nantucket Sound in the DracoX.
Leaving Falmouth Airpark (5B6)…

With 3 sightseers:

Passed over Oak Bluffs Harbor on Martha’s Vineyard:

and continued onward to Nantucket Island:

For our first stop at Nantucket Memorial (KACK)

Then back past Martha’s Vineyard…

And across the State line into Rhode Island:

To our next stop at Newport State (KUUU):

And finally back to Falmouth Airpark (5B6)

Time for refreshments, I think.

Buffalo (KBUF) to Charlotte (KCLT) in the default 737 max 8


Packing up for a weekend getaway in the 310 :smiley:

LXGB-LPFR









Finally got my Maddog navdata issues sorted out, so here are some photos I took during my flights. Enjoy! :slightly_smiling_face:






2020, flying around the NE corner of the Netherlands Antilles. Readjusted the controls of the Huey, as I’ve been doing with each aircraft in my collection, and had a good flight around. Also put in some freeware helipads, making the tour even more satisfying.










The final leg of my tour up the center of Papua-New Guinea.

Heading out from Kompiam (AYAQ) for Telefomin (TLF):

Fine views of the highlands en-route:

Just a quick pit-stop at Telefomin, which is just a grass/dirt airstrip:

From Wurigelebur Airport (WAXU), one can follow the Sungai branch of the Baliem River:

Past Tinggipura (WA0U) the river disappears. The river the other side of the ridge is actually the same Sungai branch, which has traveled underground for a few kilometers at this point due to the Karst limestone geology of the region:

Kwijawagi (WAKL) is another grass airstrip, located by the banks of the Baliem Barat:

Back in the air, we climb again…

as our route passes by the peaks of Ngga Pulu (4,800m) and Puncak Jaya (4,884m)…

…the Grasberg copper-gold mine and Fairytale Valley (no pics, you can fly there from Beoga Airport (WACZ) :grinning_face:)

Then it’s a short distance to Lake Paniai:

and our final destination at Enarotali Airport (WABT) on the shores of the lake:

Charlotte (KCLT) to Gainesville (KGNV) in the Aerosoft CRJ 700 V2

After holding off from the HondaJet in 2024, waiting for it to get updated to 2024, I finally decided to fly it anyways (still not updated). I decided on a short hop from Toronto Pearson (CYYZ) to Syracuse Hancock (KSYR) and flew in on Vatsim:

The plane flew mostly fine, there were some VNAV and autothrottle issues and the registration seems to have some lines missing, but othervise it was fine. With 0 crosswind, even the landing was okay.

Return to Charlotte (KCLT) in the default 737 MAX 8

Sometimes I forget this little fancy feature: when you let your copilot make the radio call, she has her lips animated when she speaks :slight_smile:

Charlotte (KCLT) to Exuma (MYEF) in the Aerosoft CRJ 700v2 :slight_smile:
