  1. No, this is not yet the new MSFS T-33 (which I'm really looking forward to), this is the old FS9/FSX T-33 by Tim "Piglet" Conrad, which I ported into MSFS. The panel is from the Milviz P3D F-86.

    I'm taking off from Landsberg in Bavaria and flying to Locarno in Northern Italy.

    I've actually been to some of those places.

    Me too, Jack. I did a bit of sailing here many moons ago, when the coast was not yet as touristy as it is now.

  3. Today I'm taking the good old Transall from Athens along the beautiful Adriatic coast to Zadar in Croatia. As is so often the case, I didn't quite stick to my flight plan this time either, but luckily the general direction and my destination were right

    I'm not sure, but I think marble is quarried there

    Someone seems to have had quite a fright. I'm flying at an altitude of 2,800 feet

  4. The island at the northern end of Exuma, one of the most beautiful places on earth for me, used to be called “Leeward Stocking Island”. And upwind of the prevailing south-easterly trade winds here in the Bahamas was “Windward Stocking Island”.

    Meanwhile, this area in MSFS is looking really good

    I am gradually approaching my destination for the day: Little Whale Cay, a 38-hectare (93-acre) island that is part of the Berry Islands

    Little Whale Cay is a private island and is located 140 miles (230 km) southeast of Fort Lauderdale, and approximately 40 miles (64 km) north of Nassau.

  5. Great post, P_7878. Luckily I have flown in both, the B707 and the A340. Back in the 1980s, when I lived and worked in Lahore, Pakistan, the PIA 707 brought me from Lahore to Karachi (and back to Lahore), where I caught an LH flight to Germany. And the LH A340 I was able to enjoy a couple of times crossing the Atlantic. No alcohol on the PIA flights of course, but lovely champagne on the LH A340 😃

    Btw, the son of a friend of mine is captain on the LH A340-600 and flies regularly into Bejing, Seoul and Hong Kong.

    Interesting front view for the pilot. It helps a bit that you can switch the camera to the outside.

    Every time I attempt to land I do not only set the view closer to that little hole in front of me, For some reason I also move my face much closer to the monitor screen 😉😉

  7. I have to admit, I don’t fly this plane too often, but when I do, I just love it.
