I've got a massive backlog of screenshots from 2025 even into this year.  I don't have as much time to make long posts with 20 pics of all of them.  So I decided to start off with some great views and some of my favorite pics from the last 20 flights or so.

I've also been busy painting for Black Square (along with TimHH) - we made all the default liveries in the C208, not to mention the dozen or so uploads.  We'll do them for the Commander 114 and most likely many Black Square projects moving forward.  I also try to make one or two paints for any new product that comes out as long as it's a General Aviation aircraft.  That's where my heart lies.  I'm not a huge fan of airliners.  But I will get the PMDG 737-700 whenever that arrives.  Maybe I'll even try a paint!

Anyway, here we go!

It's amazing the contrast in a sunny Syracuse, NY flying to a dreary Waterloo, Ontario Canada!  This is the default CJ4 with Verticalsim KSYR and Astralis CYKF - both sceneries very nice and detailed would recommend! (Same with the aircraft!)

I thought NY02 airstrip was fictional, but it's not.  It's a raceway AND a runway.  Mountaintop Airport has nice great freeware at flightsim.to.  I flew the turbine Bonanza late fall out to 57B, just a superb little freeware strip SW of Bar Harbor, Maine

I recall having great weather to start but ran into a thick cloud layer and had to descend VFR below it earlier than expected.  The turbine Bo is a true gem of a plane!  

57B with a runway length of 2400 ft, could potentially accommodate a small bizjet like shown... but really it's better for piston singles or turbine singles/twins with reverse pitch

I flew the payware CJ3 from Windsor Ontario (CYQG) to Augusta Maine back in the middle of winter.  I really liked this pic above Buffalo, NY

Freeware KAUG from H2Air is nicely done and works fine in 2024

I really enjoyed the A2A Aerostar's evolution as they updated it in early access.  I flew it from CNC4 (Guelph Airpark as seen in Flight Chops videos!)

I took a direct headwind flying 350nm to Chicago Exec KPWK, crossing vast portions of Ontario, Michigan and Lake Michigan - it was one of my longer GA flights this last season.  I had a stiff crosswind on final as seen here eek

I had picked up the Taog 500C last year (I think?) - it's got the best helicopter flight model I've seen yet in any sim.  And it supports the TDS GTNxi with HTAWS.  I'm looking forward to their Dauphin.  Here I am landing downtown LA

Here I am again flying out of Windsor (airport by Dyffler Direct) - really nice airport and I own his Detroit and Windsor scenery as well!  Black Square Velocity XL is shown in the pics - very fast slippery plane with no speed brake or flaps!  

Apparently I flew a lot more in Canada over the past 6 months!

I remember this flight...  A really low IFR Fargo, ND to Brainerd, MN (KFAR - KBRD).  Both airports freeware at the usual place.  I ended up performing a circle to land due to winds.

This is my goto for capable winter flying.  I would also love the Aerostar but it's not FIKI capable and is a bit slower aloft.  A2A is apparently considering making a turbocharged version with de-ice boots.  That would be amazing!

What a great looking bird!

This is my absolute favorite paint I've ever done, for the Black Square A36 TC.  (you may have seen it on my profile pic at flightsim.to).  I flew from KMHT to KPVD (I bought the Dreamflight version which imo is the best for visuals and performance)

I thought these skies looked pretty moody (just NW of Boston here)

And then touching down at Providence

 

 

 

These are all fantastic Ryan! And your skills as a painter are top notch.

A splendid selection of images and planes.

You are very handy with the paint brush too, great work!

GA at its best! Thank you for the impressions. I really love the raceway/airport scenery - that's really something different!

Absolutely fantastic, Ryan. I have many of your paints (and those of TimHH), and I like them all.
