2024 Jackson Hole to Mc Call, Idaho

[ryanbatc]

We're flying the baby king air (C90 GTX) from KJAC to KMYL - it's a clear and crisp wintery day.

Hope you enjoy!

Stunning paint work by TimHH

Climbing west over the Teton Range

FL220 will be our final today!  Just passed KICNI on the ALPIN4 sid, turning to IDA, then onto MYL.

Looking SW towards Pocatello, ID

Over Idaho Falls (IDA)

A groundspeed of around 260 kt today - the trip takes us a bit under 3 hours

Tim's paint is simply stunning here in the January light

Approaching our TOD, we'll load the RNAV RY 34 into KMYL

Looking at the Cascade Reservoir - the 4th largest lake in Idaho

Looking south towards Boise

We're established on the RNAV final approach course - about to configure for landing!

A sea of white except for this little red barn

And I found another cool red barn for parking!

Nice ones Ryan.  How well is the C90 working in 2024?

It flies fine.  It's very default hehe.  Sounds are so-so.  It's not amazing but it's not too bad either.

It’s from Carenado right? If so, is the payware version of it more detailed than the default 2024 version? I assumed all the carenado birds in 2024 were at one point payware.

I don't think they had a payware C90 in msfs.  I think they did have a payware C90 in P3D v4 if I recall.  It's basically the same as that with much nicer textures haha.

I've flown in and out of KJAC airport umpteen times, Ryan...Of course, I mean the (virtual) one by Orbx of our FSX/P3D days...🙂...

Had never seen the Tetons around KJAC...covered by snow like this...seems like winter wonderland...

The Baby King Air looks sharp too. It's interesting how it shines silver bright with sunlight, but otherwise appears grey...Nice repaint by Tim.
