January 10, 200917 yr I just completed another near perfect flight from KMCO to KMEM (FDX 1209) using Active Sky Advanced (ASA). Got some turbulence in flight that didn't disturb the AP, even a couple quick gusts climbing out that didn't effect the AP/AT. ASA performed perfectly, so I can't understand why so many are having problems.This plane is so darn exciting to finally have! Been a great start to a new year.Flight plan details from FlightAware.com are as follows:FDX 1209KMCO --> KMEMCAMDT CTY SZW VUZ LARUE3FL360Departure 9:59 PM ESTFlight time is about 1 hour 42 minutes. A perfect short haul to play with this wonderful bird. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

January 10, 200917 yr Author I can't fly those long hauls, it's just too boring and draining on my poor computer. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
January 10, 200917 yr Thats cheating Mike...its much more fun (boring) into a steady 70-90KT headwind! :( I did LAX-NRT prior to that. Not quite as long, I know.Chris, if you want a real short flight, KMCI-KSDF is a nightly UPS flight. Just over an hour long.
January 10, 200917 yr Author Cool, that's an even shorter one!
