Test flight with ILS approach 16L and crosswind.

An exceptional FREEWARE - "Hold my Beer"'s SR22.

Thought I might set up a flight from Damascus to Tehran. Got the new OIIE airport scenery and it's great, so that felt like it might be good trip. Went to take a look around Damascus first though and wow! I really thought I'd fired up my old FSX system by mistake. I can understand that it's probably not a good location to expect amazing aerial imagery these days, but even so, it looks pretty bad. Oh well, it's the only really disappointing place I've discovered so far which is not bad going. I know Tehran is pretty good for an arrival so maybe I'll go from Beirut instead. And who knows, this may get sorted with a regional update at some point.

Hi simmers 😃 Happy Birthday Air France.. over France cheers 😉

No, not really. Not in this lifetime, anyway. So here I am instead, releasing my inner hooligan at Shanhai Pudong in the Ryan. I flew around the airport when I first got it and thought to myself "hmm, that looks like a possibility . .", and waddya know - it was! Enjoy (or grimace - whatever works for you) D*mn! I was in the wrong lane! I normally record all my flights but I didn't keep this one. In case the FAA seize my PC <grin>

Quick 2.5 hour evening hop from Reykjavik-BIKF to Oslo-ENGM over scenic Iceland, the North Atlantic and the fiords of Norway. On approach, I put it in Äctive Pause" for about 30 minutes, to make dinner. When I returned, MSFS hung and crashed, so I'll have to try my landing next time! Should have Saved the flight......

Just 4 On Route Parked up

Starting out in the water in the north bay area, nearest airstrip KFVO Started off with the "misty morning" settings tried "light rain" to give it a bit of atmosphere but figured it was too dreary so switched to something a bit sunnier. Because I can . . . Cutting across Mill Valley to the Pacific Nice little cove at the ocean side turning south towards the Golden Gate Not so much "whoo, going under the bridge", just that it was too much effort to get up high enough to go over it Got a couple of nice books about the building of this. Bridge building is always impressive stuff Ni…

Some of the Golden Age Simulations vintage aircraft are being converted to MSFS from FSX, with GAS permission. This is the Aeronca C3, converted by DonFanucci. (Freeware at .to) Flies nicely. Sound reminds me a bit of a VW. T45 (MSFS) Lots of turnbuckles & bracing. Departing from a Napa Valley airfield. GAS followers will recognize the signature leather satchel. Heading up Napa Valley

As follow-up, here, to my previous post about the flight from Juneau (PAJN) to Yakutat (PAYA), I pick up, where I left off...from cruise level FL230 (the Dart turboprops speeding me along at a steady speed of 220 knots). This plane is equipped with a basic but most effective autopilot (see one close-up shot, below, of the FO Side [VC], where the autopilot panel can be seen just below the Pedestal). So, my flight continued onward, tracking, roughly, the Gulf of Alaska coastlines of the Pacific Ocean, and overflying the southeastern-most corners of Alaska. This region (otherwise referred to as the Alaska Panhandle) is known for its remarkable natural scenery, of dense fores…

Just a few from the first stage of this flight to KLGB (which I haven't actually managed to complete yet). But SF looks good this time of day from up here (at least it does in the sim, wouldn't have a clue about real life!) so I thought I 'd post some of these. On the way out from KSUU, and I do like this aircraft. To me, it's beautiful, but then each to his own, I guess Coming up on the the Bay Probably a bit too close to the PG here, beginning to see the weird vegetation effect. I don't usually bother with PG but SF is one of those places that benefits from it as long as I can stay up a couple of thousand feet. Another early bird …

Back at Travis again. I really like this bit of scenery (at Simmarket) - I've got a couple of French Airbases as well and I'm always interested in a well modelled military base like this (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Air_Force_Base for more info). So, I had planned to do a full flight to KLGB, but I got a CTD somewhere south of San Jose. I suspect because I was using the version of the C-17 from .to based on the UKMil model but with the default 747 VC. My own converted model is based on the Virtavia one, but has absoulutely no working gauges, so I figured I'd try the one with the 747 interior. Worked quite well at first, but I was obviously overreaching by try…

First flight from ESGG to EKCH. Only had time at airports to take screenshots. So just 4 Enjoy! EGSS EKCH

Anthony Fokker (aka The Flying Dutchman) was one of the most enigmatic characters in the history of aviation. His Nationality is listed as (Dutch, German, US). He was born in Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), inspired into aviation, in France, by witnessing Wilbur Wright's demo flights near Paris, moved to Germany, and designed remarkable (and innovative) WWI planes for the German Army (e.g. notably, helped create the legend of Red Baron...now, why do I think of that goggled aviator on the cover of a certain "Classic Crust Pizza"...🙂...or of the anthropomorphic Snoopy, the Beagle,...oh well...). After the War, he returned to the Netherlands and started a new aircraft com…

A short while ago, in one of my posts, I'd referred to Airnorth, the Northern Territory (Darwin) based Australian (regional/charter) airline. Today, coincidentally, I came across another repaint of this (same) Australian airline. It's for a DC-3/C-47 (Reg. VH-MMA). But, this is an older livery of the Airnorth airline, mostly of metal color, and the imprint on the fuselage appears as "AIrnorth" [i.e. first two letters of the name are uppercase, and, no space between "AIr" and "north"; see images below]. I also noted that the plane, originally built in 1943, is still airworthy of as of 2020...just amazing...!! So, it, certainly, has a story to tell, from its remarkably…
