Some screenshots I made during the migration to `avian_fdm`. The aeroplane handling is already way more realistic compared to before.

Flight with callsign VLG7CH from Barcelona International Airport #LEBL using the aircraft FenixA320 CFM SL, to Faro Airport #LPFR, landed with a landingrate of -319 fpm (1.07 G) #MSFS #flightsim
Mule Creek CBS4 → Tanis Mesa AK69

After takeoff, I went over a small mountain range, which required an extra loop in the old Cessna to gain enough altitude.

After that, I followed the rivers down to the Pacific coast, where I chose one of the available grass strips for landing.

In addition to the packs controlling an actual fan/airflow, i got the dome light switch controlling the actual closet light last night and it is incredibly satisfying

Skagway PAGY → Mule Creek CBS4

A route absolutely perfect for a hand-flown Cessna 172.

At the destination, there was strangely a King Air just sitting there alongside the gravel runway, I've no idea what it was doing there ;-)

Similar to my first experience trying to land a plane in a flight simulator.

Flight with callsign SVA562 from King Khaled International Airport #OERK using the aircraft Fenix A320 - Saudia Standard HZ-AS64 2025, to Dubai International Airport #OMDB, landed with a landingrate of -242 fpm (1.02 G) #MSFS #flightsim

#AI is playing us for a sucker all the time.

I wanted to know which type the grounded yellow plane from the #intro video of #fs2024 is.

As I could not find otherwise for some time I asked #DuckDuckGo AI (a,b,c) and #Startpage Assist (d). Not only did the Artificial Idiot come up with different airplanes every single time - all four answers are wrong.

a) Piper J-3 Cub - nope
b) De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver -nope
c) Boeing Stearman Model 75 - nope
d) Gee Bee Model Z - nope

In fact it is a #Cubcrafter X Cub (by Asobo). Found out myself yesterday in the sim as I did not choose a #Zlin or the #Wilga as usual for a bush or outdoor flight.*

And it is a fantastic aircraft BTW, albeit not so easy to land - like all taildraggers. đŸ›Šī¸

* Ceterum censeo: I want the old hangar from #fs2020 back.
