I decided to try the DC Designs F15E on my RTW flightplan. I could have continued with the LongEZ which was four days into my planned six day flight on Sunday but my web connection timed out which paused the sim so I decided to end the flight and try the F15 which should finish its flight tomorrow. Funny--it started with dark glass gauges but they turned on ten minutes into the flight and with Flow Essentials my autopilot could ascend using my planned 3500fpm to FL320 and Nav hold turned towards the flightplan's first waypoint and started tracking it when I intercepted the Flightplan's course. I like DC Designs F15, a nice Miljet.
I love the Lancer which runs CTD free on my Xbox S. It will be my next choice for flying my non-stop around the world flightplan, or maybe the Phantom. Currently I am 80 hours into a real time, 21K RTW flight in the LongEZ which is simple but if you do not have it, I recommend the Rutan classic. This flight will end if no CTD's on Tuesday evening. I have never flown a flight non-stop this long--choosing Florida as my departure and landing point I am well into Asia before beginning the long Pacific crossing, before finishing up by flying over the US west coast, then past DFW arriving at Kennedy Space Center coming in from the North. I think we both know the LongEZ, even with a glass gauge, has not crashed because it is a simple aircraft. Funny it started with dark screens but I used Flow Essentials to set my autopilot cruise altitude to 12,000 ft and my rate of climb at a gradual 500 fpm as I headed southeast down the Florida coast before my crossing to Africa. I passed Indonesia 76 hours into the flight, 10K miles into it using a cruise speed of 135 knots and getting away with the non-stop by using unlimited fuel. Making the RTW flightplan after using Orlando Intl to take off from the south and choosing Kennedy's long runway 15 as my arrival runway was just connecting the dots. I discovered a RTW flightplan following a great circle route can be set up by choosing a S runway departure point and a return S runway arrival as long as the return runway threshold is north of the departing runway and preferably to the east about 20-30 miles like the Shuttle landing runway is in Orlando. You are blessed to live in Florida and were it not for the expense of moving and the preferable, less humid except during our 100 degree days with our monsoon storms which roll in from July thru late September which give way to October and November cool weather and showers. Of course being a Daddy who took his spouse and daughter more often to Orlando than Disneyland from '05 onward, my daughter's first visit to Disneyworld. So she could sleep the night before and also keep up with her studies in school, we did not tell her she was going. We told her we were taking her to the mall, and she was a mall rat, though thrifty shopper early. Since Sky Harbor's terminal four has a huge mall, we knew she'd love that and the mall is land side. But when we arrived at the airport in the parking garage she did not want to stay until I opened our Highlander's back, which had a cover to cover luggage, and pulled out her fav suitcase and we told her she was on her way to Disneyworld. Her face lit up. I never told her about planned vacations until I knew she was old enough not to let the excitement interfere with her studies because like me and her Mom, she was a straight A student from the 8th grade onward. Thanks again for letting me post a long share. I love your videos which tell a story about Miljets especially. BTW, if you did not see it watch the Army/Navy game highlights. Since my Dad was in the Army from 45-53 and worked as a Civilian for the Navy from the mid 60's to early 80's, no matter who won it'd be a good game and one of my neighbors told me since I normally do not watch that many games.
Do you know why on msfs2020 I can’t click on my smoke pods and every time I hit my smoke button the smoke pops up all the way from the aircraft plz talk to touching-cloud about this because this has been going on for weeks
After 9 months of not playing msfs, I finally made the switch to pc. I haven't bought msfs24 yet. But curious where do you go to get the free planes and weapons packages?
Awesome you flew out of my hometown base. Lived there my whole life!!!

Have you tried the Avro Vulcan yet? They captured the infamous Vulcan howel really well.

Honestly, this game is almost worse than day 1 cyberpunk
