December 28, 20232 yr Today the route will be... hum... should be VFR. But the real MSFS weather didn't agree. But it's in the sim and I want to continue testing SayIntentions AI ATC with this expected 45 minutes flight. Should be challenging to depart with this weather and catch Flight Following to finally certainly reach clear-sky at Banning (screen shots from iPad ForeFlight). At Atlantic FBO with FreakyD freeware LongBeach KLGB v4: https://flightsim.to/file/1499/daugherty-field-long-beach-ca-usa-klgb I use the FLY chart to navigate in this congested Los Angeles area (screen shots from iPad ForeFlight): The weather is really not really VFR compatible for my plan, at departure: At destination, it should be ok 😉and it's not a surprise knowing the area: Taxiing at Long Beach. SayIntention Artificial Intelligence ATC initialy gave me the 26L. And I made a mistake arguing with the AI that there isn't any 26L at KLGB. Obviously, I can't read a ground chart correctly and my departing briefing had to be revised. Anyway, I weirdly win against the AI 😉 after several exchange. Here we are at KILO runway 26R and finally cleared for take-off : It's definitely not going to be a VFR departure. Obviously, it wasn't legal and I get thru the cloud to be on-top for my VFR FLY route. Los Angeles bassin is fully covered. As planned ( 😉 ) the SKC is ahead of me. I really love this real MSFS weather: Approaching the Banning Pass, it's getting clearer and clearer as planned: It's all clear when I start to "firmly" descend to Palm Springs: Get (more or less) cleared for a right downwind entry for runway 31R. That finally changed, lately in a straight-in for the 13R: Atlantic FBO is my favorite (actually, I never went to Signature at KPSP 😉😞... ... because I have the pool in sight! Scenery by iniBuild. Hope you enjoy this VFR flight report as much as I did flying it! Edited December 28, 20232 yr by vbazillio Vincent B.

December 28, 20232 yr Very interesting weather change depiction. I really liked those 2 Banning Pass shots as the "soup" thinned out.
