Fly to the Azores!

No, not a scenery offer, I'm afraid, nor an easy ride, but rather, a challenge.

 

With Nadine, that blonde Tropical Storm, approaching the Azores we got some really nasty weather around there. Horta is, at this time (07:00 UTC) being hit by strong gusting winds and precipitation.

and... the x737-800 taking off from LPHR RW 10

 

 

 

already airborne...

 

 

 

Flying under such conditions was not only possible, although the airport is closed right now due to the bad weather, but it was specially gratifying for showing how much better X-Plane10 RC2 renders this kind of nasty weather :-)

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Glad to see they have fixed it then! That aircraft used to feel like a Kite in a TS in early X-Plane Builds!
