plainsman Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 The original thread had lots of interest, but is getting too large. A short flight from Phillipsburg, Kansas to Holdrege, Nebraska. You fly over Harlan County reservoir along the trip. The airport at Phillipsburg did not work originally, but is now operative.

Buck Turgidson Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I've been checking out the Swiss update which in my opinion is wunderbar! Took a short tour and landings around the Grindelwald area and other than a few huts missing near the sphinx, I was stoked. I went back a week later to fly the Zermatt area and with real wx it was socked in! Decided to run what I brung so plotted a RNAV got some good IFR with a trip down the valley and a bit of ice. If I had to run RNAV down the valley like that approach I would want a backup VOR or ADF to make sure the GPS had not been... "moved". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiloWatt Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Ugh, I'm so jealous of you all. I haven't flown in a while because I've so much crap to do around the house. :mad: I'm supposed to be learning the C208 in preparation for a bushtrip. I've flown GA for the last decade, so it's fun to do something new (provided that I have the time). - Bitter kW Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB 3733 MTs RAM, Radeon RX5700 OC, 2560 x 1080 Ultrawide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aptosflier Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 KDEN to KSBS I flew a G58 from KDEN to KSBS (Steamboat Springs) again today, per a Navigraph flight plan I first loaded into the World Map, and then went into the NXi's MFD to clear it of several waypoints that didn't belong in it. I'm not sure how/why they were inserted; they weren't in the FPL. The approach to Steamboat -- RNAV (GPS)-E -- got me to the general vicinity of KSBS, but not to directly to it. But after yesterday, I knew where to look. I followed ATC's instructions to "circle to land RWY 14." I would've preferred to land in the other direction as I was already well past that end of the airport and it would've been easier to set up for landing. As it turned out, I could've landed in either direction, as there was a crosswind. I only understood this when I saw which way the windsock was blowing -- after I landed. The landing was ugly. I turned on base too early, ended up wide to the right of the RWY turning on final, and had to do a lot of maneuvering and speed-dumping and so forth to make the RWY. I didn't contend well with the crosswind and landed partially on the grass. But nevertheless with no damage to the aircraft (on medium MSFS settings). I made a video. Obviously, I need to learn how to land while crabbing.

Patinthedesert Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 KJAC Jackson Hole Wyoming to KWYS West Yellowstone Montana. Beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers. In the Diamond DA-40. No screen pics from me, sorry. Fly it as low as you dare to enjoy the scenery. Fly beside the mountains not over them. I think I stayed to a max of 9000 ft after the takeoff at over 6000. I diverged from the direct flight line to go roughly straight N to fly along the front of the Grand Tetons. Then turned to NW later. Nice long runways at both ends.
