Had a nice hour long flight in the Black Square Caravan, from Kelowna CYLK down to Pitt Meadows CYPK. Really bouncy trip over the mountains. Departure was fogged in, and en-route saw many valleys to the South fogged in as well.
I didn’t do it on this trip, but if you ever see something like this, set the sun low on the horizon so that it casts shadows across those foggy valleys, then try flying down through them. The lighting’s really eerie.
Finally was able to upgrade my aircraft in Aviatife from the Seneca to an Embraer EMB-110, which has made a huge difference in making decent money per flight now. First flight is taking a charter load of passengers from Houghton, MI to Superior, WI.
Snapped a couple shots to mark the newest member of the fleet and even got a shot from a passenger of their view as we climbed out over Lake Superior.
Found that Ochiai has updated his scenery for Osaka and Kobe. Also flew around another creator’s helo scenery as well as practiced with the HPG action pack. Last one works well, but does not adapt well with inclines (hillside scenery)
Re-installed an amazing free Capri scenery addon and flew the PC-12 for the first time. This is visually the most detailed addon I’ve seen so far. I wish MSFS would be like that everywhere!! It’s breathtaking in VR.
The panel with the AIDS and DFDR event button had the labels and the divider light stripes not perfectly centered, so I tried my best but there is only a very limited space for these labels - or they are no longer illuminated.
There was nothing I could do for centering the light stripes (they simply disappeared when moving them a few millimeters to the left) - but the AIDS label could be centered with a small trick: Having a part of the letter A no longer illuminated could not be avoided, but camouflaging this visual bug by making it look like dirt caused the problem, solved the texture problem…
I love these details, like how some panels (in this case the weather radar control panel) were clearly taken out of older Airbusses and mounted in this A320 here.
But after some overthinking I have decided not to make any of the Airbus panels more weathered or dirty-looking because the Fenix already looks absolut PERFECT like it is.
