Britten-Norman Islander 2P in the Caribbean #1/3: St Maarten L'Esperance TFFG to St Barthelemy TFFJ #flightsim #msfs #avgeek

submitted 13 hours ago • 1 comment

The Britten-Norman 2T Islander, in a flight on another windy day from Cranfield to Liverpool John Lennon. Flight Radar indicates this airframe is active in the UK but in a different livery- this appears to have been its first paint-job. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Flying south down the Pacific coast of California, from Hayward Executive Airport, near San Francisco, to Santa Barbara, in the Cirrus Vision Jet. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

"Deeply d-ippy 'bout the curves you've got"; Right Said Fred's 1992 song seems appropriate for this German-registered AirGo curvaceous Piaggio P180's short transfer from its HQ in Mainz-Finthen to Bonn-Hangelar.

Although the latest update to the Pilatus PC12 had an fps bug upon release that made it unusable for me, SWS fixed it quickly and the aircraft was ready to test on an early morning Sounds Air sector across the Cook Strait from Nelson to Kapiti Coast (Paraparaumu) #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Continuing a series of flights in GA turboprop aircraft, we take the FSR500 as it's called in #msfs (in reality a Piper M500) from Paris Le Bourget to Annecy-Mont-Blanc. There are some great cabin refinements and boarding features but it flies well too. #flightsim #avgeek

I enjoyed yesterday's KingAir 350 Ops in Iceland, so today flew the virtual Osprey Regional 350 from its base at Bournemouth to a very blusterly Blackpool; crab salad at its spiciest thanks to the gusting crosswinds! #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

This Qatar Cargo B777 Freighter was fulfilling a real world flight from Madrid LEMD to East Midlands EGNX yesterday, a good route to recreate in #msfs #flightsim. This time, GSX decided not to cooperate despite an update! PMDG Ground Ops stepped in successfully! #avgeek

Eurowings A319 (Fenix) sector from Stuttgart to Bremen. Unlike yesterday's stutter-riddled flight in the A319, this was silky smooth until Bremen, where someone appears to have covered the terminal in Harry Potter's invisibility cloak! #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Please could someone explain the rationale behind the Hemel 1E STAR and PIGOT transition in to EGNX 27R? There must be a reason for flying in knots over south Leicestershire! #avgeek

A short hop in the #msfs default KingAir 350 on a real world route (IRL a King Air 200) in northern Iceland from Isafjordur to Akureyi. The approach into Akureyi along a fjord is very pleasing on the eye. #flightsim #avgeek

A somewhat eventful A319 flight in the Fenix CFM Delta from Detroit to Washington DCA. Huge stutters and low frame rates on take off, AP failing to disconnect, a TA Resolution advisory in cruise (close call!), but a butter smooth landing at DCA 01. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Fictional livery and route, but interesting to try a Manx Air (a now defunct airline operating from 1982-2002) flight in the Kodiak 100 from Isle of Man to Manchester Barton and a grass runway landing in MVFR conditions. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

A very short hop in the Kodiak 100 onwards from Orcas Island to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands, Washington State USA. #flightsim #msfs #kodiak

About to spend some time with the Kodiak 100, which has been rather neglected in the hangar of late. As a starting point, setting off from the Kodiak HQ at Sandpoint, Idaho, across the wintry mountains of Washington State to Orcas Island close to the Canadian border near Victoria #msfs #flightsim

The Pilatus PC12 returns to HQ with a short hop from Sion to Buochs, Switzerland, where the Pilatus factory is located on the shores of Lake Lucerne. It's a spectacular visual approach! #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

The Pilatus PC-12 tour returns to Switzerland. Latest leg from Girona in Catalonia, Spain, to Sion, with a spectacular RNAV approach through the Valais Canton. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Flights during the hours of darkness are trickier to take screenshots, but when it is near full moon, one or two interesting possibilities do become available! The Pilatus PC12 moves on from Palma to Girona. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

The Pilatus PC-12 is used by Sounds Air in New Zealand in a commuter configuration to operate a number of routes between the North & South Islands, based out of Wellington and Blenheim. Always great to fly in NZ. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Time to reacquaint myself with the Pilatus PC12 from SimWorks Studios in #msfs2020 ahead of an upcoming update. This flight is from the Pilatus HQ in Buochs, Switzerland, to Nice on the French Côte d'Azur. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Returning the Piaggio P180 to Genoa, from Venice "Marco Polo" to Genoa "Cristoforo Colombo"- I suppose you could call this route the "Explorer Express". The Avanti certainly made quick work of it. #msfs #flightsim #Piaggio #avgeek

My next Piaggio Avanti sector, helping to gain familiarity with the aircraft and build hours - London Biggin Hill to Annecy Mont Blanc. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek Where next, I wonder..?

As always with new planes, it will take me a few flights to become familiar with the Piaggio Avanti, but this sector onwards from Innsbruck to Biggin Hill was helpful in learning the FMS and how to get the VNAV descent cooperating, transitioning well into ILS. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Some great reviews of the FlightFX Piaggio Avanti persuaded me to take it for a test drive, between the Piaggio HQ in Genoa and a wintry Innsbruck, with the added bonus of the circle-to-land 08 approach. Most enjoyable!

A retro experience with a Brymon Airways route from about 1990 between London City and Lille. The DHC-7 is great fun, with its four props resembling happy dogs, and was I think the first aircraft to be certified for London City. #msfs #flightsim #avgeek

Queen of the Skies! Another plane I have hardly ever flown in #msfs2020, but which with its Working Title mods, behaves very well (with one startup quirk). Lufthansa (one of the tiny handful of airlines to operate the 747-8) livery for Frankfurt to New York JFK #flightsim #msfs #avgeek

Decent weather, so a good excuse to take the new upgrade to the Just Flight Hawk T1 trainer for a spin from RAF Valley around the Mach Loop. Great fun! #msfs #flightsim #machloop #avgeek

Groundhogs Heathrow Harry & Salzburg Sid both saw a shadow today, so six more weeks of winter, good news for this sector taking London BA pax to the Austrian ski slopes on the (Fenix) A319. A bonus today's was the 33 RNAV(Y) approach with its "circle-to-land". #msfs #flightsim #avgeek #groundhogday
