✊Welp, I did it. Finally built up the courage to fly my first flight on vatsim.
Took me a looong time to figure out wtf I was doing and what directions I was getting from ATC but... I did it 😅
FRS22#VFR hop from Hay River (CYHY) to Loon River (CFS6). ✈️🌲
Quick pass by Enterprise on the way — but there was no Captain Kirk 😊
Flight time: 01:20 hours
Altitude: 3500 → 5500 ft · Circuit: 1,500 ft
Approach into Loon River was bush-strip style: following the river carved deep into its bed, descending into the valley until the runway finally popped out between the trees. Defenitely worth flying multiple times.

Anyone here using #flightgear on a windows computer and flying online on #vatsim?
Emsdale (#CNA4) → Sault Ste. Marie (CYAM) ✈️🛩️
Distance: ~160 NM
Flight time: ~1h 15min
Avg GS: ~155 kts
Cruise: 11,000–14,000 ft
Smooth departure from #Emsdale with calm conditions and wide open views 🌤️🌲.
Cruising above lakes, forests and frozen patches — classic #Ontario scenery from above 🧊🌊.
Weather stayed friendly for most of the leg… until #CYAM decided otherwise.
Snow showers, blowing snow and gusty winds on arrival ❄️🌬️ — visibility down, runway lights doing the heavy lifting.
Not pretty, but perfectly flyable.
Sometimes the destination just wants to remind you who’s in charge.

Maarten van Gompel (proycon)The past year has been the year where I rediscovered flightsimming, something I already loved to do as a kid! It's been hundreds of flight hours and too many euros on fancy flight equipment and virtual planes.... but we're having fun!
Luke VegasBAW1474: EGLL 🇬🇧 -> EGPH 🏴 in the #A32N. Overall uneventful flight with some nice weather changes. Trying to get back into the #VATSIM groove again, and ran the flight in observer mode, but low #fps caused me to loose connection constantly. I might honestly ditch #mac for #flightsimming as the performance is just not there unfortunately.

Good morning everyone ☀️
Proud to announce that a couple of new #Friesenflieger went back to school again – and passed the final examination check flight ✈️💪
We’re officially not newbies anymore, which also means losing the N behind our callsigns.
My old one was FRS156N, and I got to choose a new one.
From now on I’ll be flying as FRS22 🎧🛩️
Huge thanks to all mentors, trainers and experienced folks in the #Friesenflieger community – real-world pilots, #vatsim controllers, or both.
Great to learn from all your experience 🙌
