Del Norte County KCEC → Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR

This leg again? Yep, another short test flight, in the Cirrus Vision Jet again. But the real focus? Testing the Map Enhancement Plugin for X-Plane. The scenery looks so much better with it!

Next stop? Not sure yet. But Portland, OR is just 200 nautical miles away! Rumor has it there are some amazing breweries there…

Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR → Del Norte County KCEC

Back in California for a short test flight in the Vision Jet. The next flight will take me further to the north, promise!

Del Norte County KCEC → Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR

California is now behind me; Medford is the first stop in Oregon. With the King Air, the 70 miles passed in no time at all, there was barely enough time to snap a few photos.

Del Norte County KCEC → Del Norte County KCEC

This time, I switched to X-Plane 12 as my flight simulator software and completed a few training flights.

The King Air C90B is a twin-engine turboprop and comes with a classic-meets-modern "mullet" cockpit, so I wanted to give it a try.

The default ground imagery in X-Plane differs from Microsoft Flight Simulator in that there’s no aerial imagery projected onto the ground, which is a slight drawback. However, the lighting effects are impressive, which makes up for it to some extent.

Shelter Cove 0Q5 → Del Norte County KCEC

Crescent City is the last major settlement before the California-Oregon state border. The forests grow increasingly dense, and the landscape becomes noticeably greener.
