I started my x country flight from NW Washington to Key West in the Piper J3 Cub. No radio, no GPS, no AP, pure VFR dead reckoning stick and rudder flying.
Trying to figure out my next leg across Idaho, checking to see if it’s possible to make the journey from S82 to KMSO following the clearwater/lochsa rivers over Lolo Pass.
KPBG → KPBG
Tried to bust into Vermont from New York. Some METARs in the area looked marginal for ceilings, but otherwise light stratiform rain with good visibility so figured I’d give it a shot.
Flew VFR into IMC trying to cross Lake Champlain and had to turn around.
The sim was drawing small showery cells with dense low visibility rain cores instead of overcast with steady stratiform drizzle, which seems to be a pretty common limitation of Live Weather unfortunately. I tried to pick my way through it flying different routes without busting Canadian airspace or the Burlington Class C.
It looked pretty solid to the east though so I had to turn back to Plattsburgh, landing long on what is a giant runway for a non-towered airport.
Will try again another day.
2020, Nicosia Ercan to Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen… eight months in stick aircraft, and I forgot much about the many steps of flight planning, ATC, setting up the Airbus… Well, back into the yoke saddle…
Charlotte (KCLT) to Wilmington (KILM) in the default Saab 340B
Wilmington (KILM) to Charlotte in the default a321 Neo LR
KPBG → KEFK
Weather’s not perfect, but nicer than yesterday. Let’s give this another shot.
Crossed Lake Champlain with some sun.
Looking pretty iffy up ahead, and my last VFR checkpoint before the destination is a mountain peak. Turn around again or push on?
Found the mountain.
Well, I found a mountain. I tried to do the flight with just the navlog, but with the reduced visibility I had to pull out the sectional on the last leg. Wound up being a couple miles off course to the north.
Made it to Vermont. One of the uglier airports so far. I wish the autogen default airports got more attention in 2024 compared to some of the other things. Just having actual hangars with hangar doors would go a long way, and buildings with a recognizable “front/back” facing the ramp/field. And if not that, getting the World Hub up and running would help to vastly improve this game.
just started the Charlotte American Eagle Seasonal routes 
Fs2020 Charlotte (KCLT) to Aspen (KASE) in the fs studios Embrear 175LR
Next airlines coming up in the Charlotte flights is Contour Airlines but we don’t have any study level aircraft for those flights yet
A flight over Northern California in gloomy live weather from Gravelly Valley (1Q5) to Red Bluff (KRBL) in the Zlin Norden:
On approach to Red Bluff airport:
[MSFS 2024 v1.6.22.0]
Flew from Budapest (LHBP) to Klagenfurt (LOWK) in the HondaJet in FS24 using BeyondATC:
Unfortunately the HondaJet is still not upgraded, so I had a few issues, like the excessive fuel usage and also BATC didn’t properly vector me on the first try, so I had to go around. Luckily the second one went fine.
Full flight video uploading to:
Airbus A320 | Rio De Janeiro (SBGL) RW33 | No ILS | Hand Fly | Precision Landing Challenge | MSFS2024
2 weeks off, new airport, no ILS , VFR and hand fly in on short final. This is a super challenging landing (for me).
Fs2020
Aspen (KASE) to Denver (KDEN) in the fs studios Embrear 170 LR
Back in fs2024

I did Route Able, the most northerly of the Hump routes.

I flew around parts of the Swiss Alps at dusk in my Hawk T1 from Just Flight.
