Screenshots from Berlin to Lublin in the Citation X. Once again, a delight to fly, and even time for a bite of lunch...! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Screenshots from this Newcastle to Berlin stream in the Eurowings A320 from Fenix. The Orbx/Aerosoft Berlin scenery had to be updated to v3, so that new runway assignments were recognised by Beyond ATC. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

I'm now live on a test stream, with the Citation X flying from Berlin to Lublin- If you feel like saying hi in the live chat, we're at cruise now... youtube.com/live/pvt5TA9...

Second attempt at a live stream, Newcastle to Berlin in the Eurowings A320. www.youtube.com/live/W-MZzCI... - in which a few things get forgotten and go wrong- this streaming business is not easy!

The Phenom 100 is operated by the RAF as a multi-engine trainer called the Phenom T1, based at RAF Cranwell. We take it for a training flight from Cranwell to RAF Valley on Anglesey, North Wales. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #AViation #AVGeek

Some screenshots from the MAN-NCL Pilatus flight. Focusing on streaming meant that I didn't give full attention to the flying, so some errors crept in, especially in a still relatively unfamiliar cockpit; the NGX has the same Honeywell Avionics as the PC24. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

I tried streaming for the first time! Just a test stream, my mic stopped working before I went live, and I failed to enable ATC sound! But this flight from Manchester-Newcastle in Pilatus PC12 was ideal as a test flight. #msfs2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek #Streaming youtube.com/live/oH9soY6...

Etihad A350 flight from Zurich to Abu Dhabi. The plan was to use time compression once at cruise, but the aircraft was so unstable, even at 2x, that the only way to complete the flight was at 1x. This really limits my opportunities for longhaul with the A350. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Final leg for now in the Pilatus PC24, from Rotterdam to Manchester. Silver Aviation operate a PC24 based at EGCC, showcased at youtube.com/watch?v=sAFt... but their livery is not yet available in #MSFS2024. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Onwards in the Pilatus PC-24 from Stockholm-Bromma to Rotterdam-The Hague. #msfs2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Why have I never flown to Donegal? This small airport is hand modelled by default in #MSFS. Aer Lingus' only domestic Irish flight links Dublin and Donegal and we take the ATR72-600 "St Elvis" (yes, really!) to enjoy sunset in NW Ireland. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Flying the Cirrus Vision Jet from Colorado Springs Meadow Lake to Aspen Pitkin, the destination as featured in the #MSFS2024 startup video. All we're missing is the chap in the pink suit! #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Vilnius to Stockholm Bromma in the Pilatus PC24. As I get more familiar with this jet & its Honeywell avionics, the more I enjoy it. Although the Carenado model isn't "study level" by any means, it has enough features to be flexible, automated but customisable. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

When I first tested the PC24 in the early days of #MSFS2024, it was almost unflyable. Glad to say, it is now flyable and an enjoyable experience. This first flight, from Lubeck to Vilnius was about familiarisation- the Honeywell avionics in particular are unfamiliar. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

I enjoyed the Embraer Phenom 100 enough to give it another outing, heading onwards from Bonn Hangelar to Lubeck in north Germany. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

The GA/BizJet tour continues from Annemasse near Geneva upto Bonn Hangelar in the default Daher TBM930, not unlike the PC12. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Loganair ATR 72-600 flight from a sunny Edinburgh to a heavily fog-bound Manchester this morning; this was as close to an Autoland as its possible to get in an ATR, especially as the aircraft is only certified Cat II. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

With Il Lombardia done and dusted, and the favourite dominating again, winning for the 5th year in a row, we move on in the excellent little Embraer Phenom 100 from Cockspur, from Bergamo to Annemasse, close to Geneva on the French side of the border. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Exploring the area between Bergamo and Lake Como in the Diamond DA62, following the route of today's Il Lombardia, the "race of the falling leaves", the final cycling race "Monument" in the European calendar. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek #Cycling

From Elba's Marino di Campo airport to Bergamo, ahead of Il Lombardia 2025; what better steed than this Italian pusher-prop stallion, the Piaggio Avanti P180, always a pleasure to fly. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek #IlLombardia2025

I gave the Diamond DA62, a default plane in #MSFS2024, an outing, flying on from Florence to the airport at Marina di Campo on the Italian Island of Elba. It flew the sector well, behaving and responding well to both automatic and manual controls. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

I do miss the iniBuilds aircraft being able to do the really effective cruise flight acceleration that PMDG can achieve with their upto 8x smart speed, which make really long haul flights possible in a reasonable timeframe without the risk of loss of control. I'd like the same with iniBuilds.

The Honda Jet is a good choice for a small business jet to cover this route from Innsbruck to Florence in Tuscany, Italy. Though a 2020 aircraft, it flies well enough in #MSFS2024. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek
