Keywest in its prime

Recommended Posts

Took off outta Opa Locka, doing my best Steveo TBM impression....wasn't really in the mood to grab the departure as it was all dark...but upon descending into Key West...I looked over my left shoulder and started snapping pics. 🙂

Desending down, the Keys just off my left and a stunning sunrise to boot!

Almost lined up...the AP bug that is making the last 10 degrees of turn take forever almost guarantees the AP will overshoot turns. 😞

On final...can't say there are not too many better looking approaches...into the sunrise that is not up enough to blind you yet.🤣

Just about there...love the water reflection to the left...so cool looking

Slowing down...will make this turn off!   Excellent scenery by @virtuali at FSDT!

Safe at Signature.  The details on the hangars and building it top notch!  Love the rust and weathering effects!

Love how you leave the sim sitting and when you come back...you have another great shot just by virtue of time passing. 🙂

Was an excellent way to start my morning this morning!  With a cup of coffee...but unlike Steveo in the real TBM...I don't have to wait until 60 mins ETA. 😄

You know the drill.. Aviate, navigate communicate..Click, Click...click, click.

Disconnect the AP sort yourself out then put it back on if needed :wink:

Despite the bugs, the new sim does indeed deliver great visuals in some places..

Oh I did...was just testing the AP to see if they may had fixed it and not told us.  DC'd it right after that pic and hand flew her.....she's nice to fly 🙂

it almost looks like you could doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure folks have accidentally landed at NAS Key West though, it's right on the way and just a few miles North east

Wonderful shots, Steve. The TBM is my favorite plane in MSFS, I fly here always by hand on final.
