Hi all, this was a flight from EDDL Düsseldorf to LIMC Milano in the AIrbus. Always like to fly in XP11 though it's all not new but it works like a washing machine. All freeware scenery here. EDDL Part of Duisburg which is in the "Ruhrgebiet" close to Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf Cologne Koblenz if I'am right It's nice landscape there between Cologne and Frankfurt Near Karlsruhe Basel, in this area France, Germany and Switzerland come together Geneva and again coming to the mountains and Courchevel down to the left Torino Bella Italia and I can see the airport, what luc…

Haven't used the Ryan for a while, so thought I'd give it a go. I don't tend to do islands much so thought I'd see what Madeira looked like. Out from LPMA, scenery all default. Airport is quite good but not over impressed with the PG and scenery on the island itself, but that may be down to the usually poor quality from the servers on a weekend evening here. Still, had some fun and grabbed some snaps, which is the main purpose of this for me. Out from LPMA, late afternoon, sun is going to fade out fairly quickly around here, I expect Never been here in RL either. Seem to be some impressive cliffs here. Those boats loo…

Nothing major here, just another sale buy in the Texan. I rather like this, and it was a good price in the Marketplace sale just gone. So just a few quick shots after heading off from EGFE (Haverfordwest) quite nippy, and fun to fly.

The A318 and B736, the "chubby baby" versions...🙂...respectively of Airbus and Boeing, have long been my (personal) favorites, since the earliest days of involvement in the hobby (of course, speaking, here, as an entirely "non-professional" virtual and non-pilot aviator...🙂...). OK, these 2 favorites of mine have never got the recognition in our hobby as much as the constantly recurring renditions of the (household-known) ever-present everywhere...in the airports and in the sky...the A320 and the B737...🙂...There are good reasons for it, but that does not detract from my fondness for these two forgotten (baby) heroes... Some of us may recall that, once upon a time, A…

Hi simmers 😃 Another flight with the JF BAe 146-300 this time the Cargo Version. Flight was from OINR to LTAF around two hours.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

Hi simmers 😃 A short trip with the updated BAe146 from Justflight ( V.0.2.0 ) and its a beauty, at last for me.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

To remember it as it was....... Had crossed that bridge countless times since 1986. Many are surprised at the extent (length) of the bridge. Climbing from a left turn out of KBWI after a takeoff to the southeast from 13L

BTW I love the Spartan Exectutive airplane.

Hi simmers 😃 Two livery varitation of the BAe`s 146-300 in PAX Versions. BA Express.. BUZZ.. ASTRA Airlines So sometimes i like such livery comparsions.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

I was reading a bit today about Jetstar of Australia and caught sight of the all-orange "#jetstargeneration" special livery. Jetstar, an LCC subsidiary of Qantas, with the slogan "Low fares forever", is all about offering some of the lowest (no-frills) airfares in Australia. On the side of its fuselage (see my images below), it says, in big and bold typeface, "#jetstargeneration". I love "Orange" color in an a/c livery (after "Red", of course, brighter the red, the better...🙂...) while fully aware that some folks nickname such orange-colored aircraft as "flying carrot"... (in the same spirit as the yellow-colored "flying banana"...Hughes Airwest and Braniff come to…

(This is bit of a follow-up from my earlier post of my brush with the easternmost edge of the Rockies Foothills). Located in the heart of Rockies, the official name of this Coyote Valley is "Kawuneeche Valley" ("Kawuneeche" meaning "Valley of Coyotes" in the native Arapaho language). At the upper corner of this valley, the Colorado River (of Grand Canyon fame) originates as a small stream, from one of the small lakes called "La Poudre Pass Lake". Of course, the Colorado River came into existence first triggered by the melted glaciers from even higher-up altitudes of Rockies, and then formed this lake (pool of water), and next, with its onward flow, carved out this 20-m…

First of all, bridges are nice...I really like them a lot (I like rivers too since the bridges span the rivers) ...And don't know why but whenever I think of bridges, as now, I am reminded of that "Simon and Garfunkel" song "Bridge Over Troubled Waters"...🙂...wonderful lyrics and tune, and an equally wonderful meaning to it... The "big" bridges such as e.g., Golden Gate Bridge, Oakland Bay Bridge (please see my (past) post on San Francisco visit, if you wish), or the Brooklyn Bridge of NYC, or the Tower Bridge of London etc. are all impressive, beautiful and engineering marvels of their times, but here I am pondering about the "smaller" bridges, visited in RW or not…

Hi all, so that's where he's hanging around! 🙂 Thank you very much for viewing! Cheers Andreas

Hi simmers 😃 A small set from depart at the Philippines ( RPLL ) - and take a look at this wonderful propeller blades lightning.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

Miami...A First Look Several more pictorials to come, hopefully you enjoy this one. Hopefully, you enjoyed these images, your commentary is always appreciated...Darryl

Hi all, this is one older set of shots again and it's a nice scenery there by Orbx. There's a road crossing the runways which therefore is sometimes closed because of car traffic. Thank you very much for viewing! Cheers Andreas

Hi all, now I've installed some vessels for the islands there and did some little flights between Hana and Lihue. The "Airwolf" Bell 222B is by Cowan. Looks great and flies well but I cannot activate the autopilot as it is in Xplane. The switches are blind and this makes me a bit upset. Or I am just too stupid to find it....😗🙃 The situation here would of course cause some problems for the people down there because of the air vortex created by the heli. But it's not simulated...🙂 These airports by Northern Sky are absolutely great. Some more vessels all around now, could be more…

There have been some nice posts, here, in MSFS, about Africa. And I'd myself explored a bit of the northern Africa (specifically Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco). This 2nd largest continent surely has bit of a complex, curious, irregular and fascinating geographical shape...🙂...Basically, it has a thick tropical core in the middle sandwiched between an arid top section and a temperate bottom section. Of course, it has that unmistakable bulge on its north that tapers down southward. Today, I wished to travel part of the bottom cusp of that big bulge, west to east, along the Gulf of Guinea, from Ivory Coast (also known as Côte d'Ivoireto due to strong French influence) to Came…

Here's a fun little VFR flight I flew from Lewiston, ID to Walla Walla, WA (LWS - ALW) I'm showing off TimHH's stunning blue livery for the Carenado T182T Skylane. I'm also showcasing Bullfrogsim's LWS and recent ALW airports. These are all incredible freeware from people who spend hours to bring us these creations: https://flightsim.to/file/71487/carenado-cessna-t182t-n323cs-dynamic-registration https://flightsim.to/profile/BullfrogSim/trending I got a weather briefing and although ALW was on the eastern edge of a large system (moving NNE), it still showed VFR, so we'll get going and takeoff to the WSW for our 60 mi trip. I do about 110-120 over th…

Hi simmers 😃 A bit different today - found a nice small Airport called Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (FLHN) situated in Zambia.. And some from VHHH with my lovley Concorde.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

During my trips to Denver, I had travelled twice to the Rocky Mountain National Park. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City, because 1 mile = 5,280 ft, and believe it or not, the official elevation of Denver is (exactly) 5,280 ft, so, it cannot be any closer to a mile of elevation. The so-called Great Plains of U.S., the expanse of flatlands to the east of the Rockies, ends at the foothills of the Rockies, which begin just 15 miles west of Denver. So, one can clearly see the Rockies from this City. I recall, before heading out to the park...first having lunch at a restaurant, near the hotel we were staying, while looking out the window of the restaurant at the Rocki…

Hi all, inspired by P_7878 and his Xbox I was interested to see if I can fly in the simulator by using a gamepad as main controller on a pc. I don't have a Xbox but I have a standard gamepad in the drawer which I bought some time ago to try something out. But I never used it instead of the joystick. So I started my old PC where I usually don't fly and my one and only joystick is plugged into the simulator. On the old PC I still have an installation of XP10 and so I plugged in the gamepad there. And fired up XP10 and I could assign the x,y and z axis to the main pins there. There are more pins and buttons all around the thing but I have the other k…
