March 24, 20215 yr Commercial Member This morning, i woke up early and had some time to fly a leg for my VA. the leg was EGLC -> EGPE (Inverness). Everything went well and as usual i recorded the flight in order to get my screenshots after i land, which i did. During the captures i had some problem with both Live Weather and REX WF.. The weather was off and i tried to correct manually. Happy enough i took the shot which i post below and put it in FB/reddit etc. with description something like "First coffee of the day at Inverness". People liked it but some of them (strangely not many) started to joke as to when EGPE got parallel runways. I checked and indeed this was EGCC and not EGPE. I got crazy for quite some time in order to find out how this happened. Absolute crazy. Bottom line: When i loaded the recording i accidentally loaded one of my previous flights which ended up in EGCC 😂😂 I am getting old guys (actually tomorrow i am turning 47) Here is the capture: __________________________________________________________________________________________ My FS Photos - My MSFS Settings - i7-14700K / 64GB RAM / MSI 4070 Ti SUPER / 1440p

March 27, 20215 yr Any Landing you can walk away from is a good landing....No matter where it is. Awesome Capture. 100%75%50%d8a34be0e82d98b5a45ff4336cd0dddc Patrick
March 27, 20215 yr If it's open at the moment, then you might have been able to get a coffee at the Airport Hotel (just to the right of your starboard engine). An excellent place to go planespotting - the taxiway for 23R goes past the pub's beer garden 😉 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

March 28, 20215 yr Great story...!! I hope, though it was Inverness or/and Manchester, whatever,...and "virtual", you did get to enjoy a "real" cup of coffee...🙂... [BTW, all the best, and trust me, you're not old....there are plenty of us, here, how should I say, more experienced folks....🙂....]
