What's been your most memorable flight in MSFS?

Clearly it was the last flight i did because my old memory only goes back 1 flight 😂

  my next flight  🙂

The landing challenge into Chagual, Peru was pretty intense. Same with the first few times into Lukla and Courchevel.

It was my 1st PMDG 737 flight out of DD Renton to FT KLAS. 

For the first few seconds after started taxiing, I was so stunned by the smoothness of it, I froze up and darn near ran off of the taxiway. I can't describe the feeling, but it was a perfect first flight in an old friend on a new platform, and I was absolutely thrilled, even giddy that MSFS had finally proven itself capable of being a proper airliner sim. Needless to say, it was a perfect night landing at KLAS and probably the most stutter free flight I ever had. I had to pinch myself when I shutdown at the gate.

Now if we could get Umberto to work faster and get GSX out, we'd be there. 😀

A few for me: 

Flying over the Lake District (NW England) and being able to identify the towns and the fact that each of the hills were instantly recognisable.

Admittedly with freeware scenery, the detail of the hoodoos in Utah's Bryce Canyon bringing back so many memories of the time I spent there 20 years ago.

Naviating VFR across country at night (Southend to Birmingham) and the lights of the towns and major roads are exactly where they should be.

Flying around the San Francisco Bay area when the visibility drastically reduces as the sea mist rolls in.

Completing my first "proper" cold and dark - cold and dark flight in the FBW A320 NEO. That was a proper "Yessss!" moment.

 

I flew a Cessna 172 from Cape Town to Exeter in the UK, over 30 odd legs which was pretty breathtaking.  With the tree distance mod before it got nerfed.  I think the bit from Nelspruit north through the Kruger Park into Zimbabwe was most memorable.  Or the Sinai peninsula was superb, as was Northern Israel/Lebanon. 

Very first flight in the sim. It was the first time I'd simmed in a modern game (many, many years since playing some military sims as a kid).

Took off in a C152 in white-out conditions from a small airstrip near Morgan, UT, USA. Couldn't see a thing and ended up crashing through the pines into the side of a mountain. My second flight was in live weather and went much more smoothly, but the sense of danger and my awe of the visuals in that first flight really made an impression.
