Just brought my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus Vision Jet back to Eugene (KEUG) via Atlanta, Tulsa, Aspen and Twin Falls, Idaho.

I was just out at our airport 2.0 hours ago, and it was really REALLY foggy. With RW #WX turned on, the sim nailed the fog.

On approach to 16R, I did not see the ground until over the ALSF2 lights.

METAR said 100' on the floor of the fog. More like 50'. Can I expect a call from the tower?

Naw. The regs are meant to be broken in fantasy flying.

@nonno Ja, so ein Xbox ist ziemlich limitiert, schön um schnell ein zu steigen vielleicht. Mit einen richtige PC kommt man weiter. Headtracking/VR habe ich noch nicht versucht weil ich befürchte dass es mir schwindlig macht.

#xplane kommt noch etwas zu kurz im scenery-Bereich, aber ich spiele ausschließend auf Linux wo es native läuft und versuche alles von Microsoft zu vermeiden. Bin der ersten Monat aber auch mit MSFS2020 angefangen.

Ich weiß nicht wie so eine FS-Gruppe funktionieren soll?

Tonight's #XPlane #flightsim mission was hauling a group of #UOregon Ducks fans from Scranton, PA to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl next Friday.

Dispatchers let me slap a Ducks logo on the side of my #Cirrus #SF50 Vision jet so the pax felt at home.

Oh what fun we'll have flying my #XPlane #flightsim. I've had my #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet on the east coast during all this cold, icy, snowy WX, tonight it was Cleveland-Scranton.

Made it thru squalls all the way, great RNAV approach and landing on RWY22 at KAVP, but then I see a FRIKKIN' radio tower sticking out of the runway.

Pretty sure that is a software glitch, and KAVP did not build a radio tower right on their runway.

Never a dull moment with fantasy #flying.

In 2025, I made big indulgent updates to my XPlane 12 FlyWithLua scripts that add multi-button functions to the Yawman Arrow controller. The scripts became easier to adapt to new aircraft. I also wrote a quick Outdoor Air Temp and ISA UI XPPython3 script. See my projects on Codeberg. #XPlane #FlightSim #FlyWithLua #XPPython3 https://codeberg.org/rpmik

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!

Just found out that #XPlane 's airport scenery is released under GPL, which is why they get away with using Esri Imagery in their editor for free and why #FlightGear uses their scenery too
