(larger image if clicked) So spotting a CB in MSFS has been a rarity. Actually, I do not believe I have ever spotted an isolated CB (cumulonimbus cloud or thunderhead). So this is looking east from KDEN this afternoon. MSFS SU9. The Hjet G3000 wx radar did show some showers in the area, but this appears to rise from the earth. Any reports of nuclear tests this afternoon in Colorado?

(This bit of memory about the A340-600 is triggered from my previous post of flight with A340-300). First of all, here is a most remarkable (modern) aircraft, 4-engined too, that we don't talk (or mention) much about, here, primarily because there is limited availability of this a/c SIM from the payware developers (there have been a few, though), and in the pecking order of popularity of Airbus a/c for our SIMs, this is the one that's most likely to be bypassed (or overflown so-to-speak...🙂...) ...This is because, once we're past the A320/A321/A319/A318 series, there are the A330s, noting that, the A320/A330 come in both ceo/neo variants, then there are, of course, the mo…

It's a great day for flying... Here's a short trip from Haden, CO to Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. KHDN RIDJE TOMSN8 (RNAV 30R) KBJC The scenery is exquisite in this region of the USA.

I don't know what happened... one second she was there, and the next... I should have been easier on her. Now I have to handle the radio calls into Auckland Intl myself... Gloomy weather today at NZAA. Bit tricky getting in with winds at 18 knots. Flying taildraggers is not my speciality.

[While exploring a bit, recent news about Airbus, for my previous post on Airbus Freighters, I came across an interesting story...so, here we go... (MSFS flyers, please see note at the end of my text, below...) ...] We're aware and have seen pictures of the (specially equipped) C-130 Hercules or the (versatile and STOL capable) DHC-6 Twin Otter landing on the ice field Runways of Antarctica. However, even though (commercial) jet planes have often been deployed on sightseeing excursions over and around the Cold Continent, landing of such jet planes there is a rather rare event. On the record, a few (commercial) jet-planes e.g., B757s/B767s have, indeed, landed in Anta…

Usually, when I fly in Norway, I choose the area around the Lofoten with its dramatic mountains and peaks. This time I went further north to a small town called Stokmarknes. Another beautiful area to enjoy flying around, I have to say. Thanks for viewing

I'm blown away by XP12 lighting with orthos, hope we get this as default scenery soon! Enjoy this shot approaching EGMC 👍

Hi simmers 😃 From last flight.. Flightplan: IFR Fenix A320_Lyon Saint Exupery (LFLL) to Carthage (DTTA) RW19 cheers 😉

I purchased this L39 single from the MP today (had a bit of hassle doing it as I'm not a fan of the MP - but it did go through finally). For 7.50 USD (plus maybe a bit of vat or tax) it's honestly a decent addon. It's not a PMDG jet or an A2A GA but it has a lot of character. The flight model is decent, I felt like I was flying a jet. The visibility from the canopy is excellent. I also chose this for the avionics.... knowing that once WT releases their GNS refresh this plane will get even better. I already owned the 'Red Thunder' L39, with glass G3X and GNS. I still like that one but the G3X is not great...and this L39 has beautiful analogue HSI and VOR. It's a…

Early morning, sun low in the sky - XP-12 captures the light perfectly. Ortho4XP ZL16 SimHeaven World Europe - new release for XP12 About 30 minutes earlier I was over a much cloudier South Wales heading East towards the rising sun.

Hi simmers 😃 Went out for a short sightseeing around KSEZ.. cheers 😉

Hi simmers 😃 Just a little set.. cheers 😉

Having some Fun with DCS Apache and a GIF App. Thank You for viewing Friends.

FS2020 has taken learning more about our world to a new level. There are parts of the world that I always thought would be rather "dreary" or barren, but I've been proven wrong. I've a new appreciation for: Iran: Into OIAA (Abadan) Into OINR (Ramsar), on the coast of the Caspian Sea I had always thought of Iran as basically a desert county... Turkey: Into LTCA (Elazig) This is actually an inland lake and mountainous area north of the Mediterranean. The entire southern Turkish coastline with the Med is strikingly beautiful. Reunion Island (East of Madagascar and west of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean) There wa…

Here's an illustrated summary of my general aviation world tour that I completed yesterday. My overall impression after travelling 24,082 nautical miles (44,600km) is that there is beauty everywhere. From the natural beauty of Iceland: ...to the busy streets of Chicago: From the snow-covered wilderness of Greenland: ...to the lush beaches of the Amami Islands [Japan]: I flew over majestic peaks: [Mount Fuji, Japan] [Mount Kinabalu, Borneo, Malaysia] [Mount Rainier, USA] ...and saw impressive man-made structures: [San Fransisco] [The Great Seto Bridge, …

I've always enjoyed learning more about our world via flight simulation. FS2020 has taken that to a new level. There are parts of the world that I always considered would be rather "dreary" or barren, but I've been proven wrong. I've a new appreciation for: Iran On a flight from OICC (Kermanshah) to OIAA (Abadan) LTCF (Kars, Turkey) to OITR (Uromijeh, Iran) OIFM (Esfahan) to OINR (Ramsar, Iran), on the coast of the Caspian Sea Turkey Approaching LTCA (Elazig) Reunion Island (East of Madagascar and west of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean) Approach into FMEE - rain squall over part of i…
