I decided to take a few moments to redownload 2024, I did a short flight around Toronto.
I know that I don’t have the fastest connection, and I usually give the game a moment or two to fully load when I do a flight since I know with it being more online based it takes that brief moment, it’s not a long time somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds.
The flight was much smoother this time, one small glitch but the glitch was the slighest pause as I guess it was trying to load things since I was flying in a city and staying kind of low to the ground so I know that it had lots of stuff to load over a short amount of time. What can I say I liked weaving between buildings.
Finished the flight at Billy Bishop and took a picture
Rather than flying all the way back to Sacramento on a reposition, DispatchGPT was able to pick up a charter in Salt Lake City bound for SFO, so we took a short hop from Aspen to KSLC to pick up our passenger. She was a tech entrepreneur scheduled to speak at a conference later in the day, so the high and fast Citation X was just what she needed.
After refueling and loading up the catering, we were on our way, scheduled to hit SFO around 1830 Zulu.
Like the legs before, we had a bit of weather, but nothing the Citation couldn’t handle, especially after we reached our cruising altitude of FL470, zipping right along at Mach .90
After dropping our VIP off at SFO, we did a very short reposition back to KSMF; we didn’t even reach 15,000 feet for this leg.
Nevertheless, it’s always good to be home.
Now that we are back at home base, the KASE-KSLC-KSFO-KSMF trip resulted in gross revenue of about $16,900. After factoring in the costs for the repositioning flights, some minor maintenance issues, crew costs, etc., we netted around $4,000.
In total since we left Sacramento, we have netted $24,574.90. Along the way, we have had only minor maintenance issues: some WIFI repairs, cleaning, etc, and the bird is about 50 hours* away from inspection.
DispatchGPT informs me that we might have a charter up to Vancouver next.
*Not actual hours: I don’t spend near that amount of time in the sim, so I use a multiplier and random generator for maintenance issues.
Flew Northwest Florida Beaches International (KECP) to Charlotte (KCLT) in the default 737 max 8

I was reading the latest issue of WILD magazine when I learned about Kati Thanda for the first time. I read the article keenly and then flew there in MSFS.
Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre in South Australia is Australia’s largest lake by area, but it is an ephemeral, endorheic lake located in a desert region and rarely fills completely. Known for being the lowest natural point in Australia at roughly 15 meters below sea level, the lake’s appearance varies dramatically, from a dry, salt-encrusted bed to a vast, temporary “inland sea” when rain causes infrequent but significant floods. The lake is co-managed by the Arabana Aboriginal people and the government in Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre National Park.
A note of thanks goes to WILD magazine, and @gue63 - a legendary Australian aviator, author, giver, creator, curator and contributor to MSFS who has corrected the Australian salt lakes to their true-to-life form through his modifications.
Enjoy the first collection of images from the trip. You may like to hover over the photos to read their captions, where the smaller lakes in the Lake Eyre region are named and listed.
