Flight sim is *pretty.*

Thought I'd run the #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet down to France today to try getting it into Courchevel (LFLJ) which is tricky. Only 1,759' long and you land uphill, takeoff downhill into a deep valley.
Rented a virtual XCub near there, bopped on down and it was an absolute BITCH to land there in real-world winds. Did 3 go-arounds.
So no freakin' way I'm taking the jet into there. Although many turboprops can land there...here is a PC-12 video:
Lakehopper looks like a wonderful casual seaplane flight simulator
Fancy a new type of simulator? How about flying your own seaplane? Lakehopper has launched into Early Access on Steam with Linux support.
Palm Springs International KPSP β Catalina KAVX
It's new plane day! With the Cirrus Vision SF50, I'm heading back to the Pacific Coast from Palm Springs. The sky kept getting cloudier, so a few planned views unfortunately didnβt happen. Better weather is forecast for tomorrow!

Woke up today in Scotland (Tuesday in the EU) and thought some fresh Danish pastries sounded good, so I took a deadhead over to Copenhagen (EKCH).
No RNAV approaches so far here, all ILSs, but the #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet with G1000 handles them perfectly.
As soon as I parked, the ground crew moved in with their baggage conveyor rig. I guess they think the bags come out of my airplane's ass.
They just do things differently over here.
Calexico International KCXL β Palm Springs International KPSP
Instead of taking the short, direct route, I decided to make a detour through Joshua Tree National Park and approach Palm Springs from the north. With the TBM 930, the visit to the national park was significantly shorter than by car (where you can β and should! β easily spend an entire day).
