November 23, 20241 yr Today, I defined a few more (essential) controls and assignments on my MSFS/Xbox, and wished to fly the DC-3 on a short flight to continue to getting my feet in the (troubled) waters of MSFS2024...🙂...For this post, I picked one of my favorite (test) flight routes that I must have flown 100+ times since the FS9/FSX days. The distance between Seattle and Vancouver is about 120 miles, which is the route I've flown often in the past. Here, however, I travel, in the opposite direction, from Vancouver/CYVR (8L) south to Seattle/KSEA (16L), along the Pacific coastline and across the many picturesque (and scattered) islands on the ocean (see images). The flight was not perfect. While on the final approach to KSEA, making good use of the "Retrofit" Autopilot and GPS units on this DC-3, suddenly out-of-nowhere a message flashed on my TV-desktop, "Aircraft System Malfunction - Flaps" or some such thing, and indeed, the flaps of the DC-3 stopped responding... Oh well...I somehow managed to land the airplane...but it was not pretty...🙂... Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this collection of pictures from my flight today (with a morning departure from Vancouver around 7:30am). Thanks for viewing...!

November 24, 20241 yr Author PM, Jim, Bernd, Will and friends: Many thanks for the comments and responses.... on my 2nd flight in MSFS2024... I have to say as someone who has thoroughly explored the twilight (dusk and dawn) in MSFS2020…🙂…, such lighting in MSFS2024 looks marvelous and may be actually better...unless my eyes are playing a trick here... Rest of MSFS2024 so far has been "to-be-seen"...🙂...BTW, I'm on Xbox, so, your PC experience may be different... Edited November 24, 20241 yr by P_7878
