Had a go in Career mode doing a VIP flight last night in a DA62 over the alps which I haven’t tried doing before due to the low pay-outs. Visibility forwards in this plane is horrid. Curved pillar and a high line dash do not make the forward view pleasant. Otherwise she was faultless and easy to fly.
The Final blue box was way off the runway to the right. The runway itself was such a thin one it was almost imperceptible given the final was so far off track from the runway. Bit of a bumpy landing and performance points lost for the “not caring about my aircraft” due to the late ID of runway. PANIC “where is it, oh god where is it “
(2020) I flew a Neofly cargo mission from Bella Coola to Dean River then on to Annette Island in a Cessna 206. I started this new company with the goal of a floatplane business in Ketchikan, sold my starting plane, took a loan and rented this 206 with tundra tires and all the bells and whistles an operator needs. It has G5 instruments, GNS 530 and 430 and the GFC500 autopilot plus a belly pod for extra cargo. I thought I was going to have to land in some lovely IFR weather with rain at Annette Island but it cleared up enough to land, though I absolutely crated that landing. Good thing Cessnas have tough landing gear.
All in all a great trip and now I’m one island south of Ketchikan. Time to source a floatplane to take hunters and fishers to all the lovely lake cabins and lodges around the area. I wonder if anyone has a cheap Beaver for sale.
Guess it’s back to me being a photographer, but I think MSFS 2024 will make things that much more fun.
Being inspired by a recently watched horror movie, I felt the need to head to Louisville, KY
To visit the Waverly Hills Sanatorium
I must say I’m impressed with how amazing this looks, of course I think the spirits inside the place were messing with me because of how my helicopter ended up.
Seychelles is a beautiful touristic destination in the Indian Ocean and it has an international airport. However, in MSFS, the airport exists and does not exist at the same time!
You can see the airport when you fly around Seychelles but there is no airport listed on the World Map. The not-so-Zen-Desk has been notified of this for over four years without any resolution.
Enjoy Seychelles in real-weather, real-time. I flew amphibious since I could not spawn on the non-existent airport in the MSFS World:
As I continue to view some sights since in 2024 you can get out of your plane.
Interesting Note: I was flying the BeachCraft c90 King Air, this plane hasn’t been green lit for MSFS2024, so while it does work, at times things may not work as great as it did in the previous game, this isn’t the first time I flew it and it’s a bit of a hit/miss to be honest with you.
The last time I flew it I was able to shut the engines off without issues, this time it wasn’t the case I landed a little bit away and managed to steer the plane down into the parking lot which is where I got out, the plane had it’s own agenda and it kept going until it found its safe place in amongst the trees.
The geek inside of me was happy to check out the Kennedy Space Center, I know in the previous game you can buy the spaceshuttle but it’s for landing missions only, I honestly wanted to fly it from Toronto to Tokyo or something like that just to use it as a plane, otherwise the $20 (Canadian Coin) price tag on that addon is a bit steep for a few landing missions.
While I may have landed in the parking lot across the street and drove my plane into the Kennedy parking lot, I will maintain that my plane landed at KTTS as my launch pad for my next flight.
Now since I got out my various rambles… onto the photos:
A couple of flights at sunrise as I headed from Great Yarmouth, across Essex into London. Ludham Airfield to Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome / Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome to Denham.
Shortly after take off from Ludham Airfield, flying low over the flat Norfolk Broads.
Oh you know, had a wonderful flight with the 737 from Montenegro to Germany, everything perfect, 90+ % on everything, but apparently i missed one ATC communication (never did), so lost half of my S reputation. Wonderful game!
