My gaming PC is old. I only really use it for #MSFlightSim and it runs #MSFS2020 fine, but #MSFS2024 refuses to even start. I've been running 2024 in Xbox Cloud with a game controller. It works OK that way, but I've just gone back to 2020 on the PC using a proper joystick and it is so much better!

Another reproduction in #MSFlightSim of one of my favourite photos. I couldn't get to the same viewpoint - too many auto-generated trees in the way.
Being able to get out of the aircraft in #MSFS2024 and walk around is a really nice feature...!

I love the attention to detail in #MSFlightSim, like the tyre tracks after landing the Joby S4 on a beach.

This might be my new #MSFlightSim hobby. Flying to places I've taken some of my favourite photos, walking to the exact location and reproducing the photo as much as possible. The beach here looked a little different, and I didn't have my lens ball in the SIM, but I still like the result!

That was my 2nd choice and probably better overall, but apparently the 9070XT runs MSFlightSim'24 better than cards costing 2x as much. Something about that sim having hardware optimizations so it can run on a Xbox.

A photo of the Warwick Uni campus taken from a hot air balloon in #MSFlightSim. Although things don't always look so good at ground level, from this height it almost always looks amazing.

I love flying at sunset and the way the light reflects off the water and the aircraft. The effect still delights me. Annoyed, though, that I forgot to fly low enough to see Caernarfon Castle properly. #MSFlightSim

The view (in #MSFlightSim) from the most northerly point on the most northerly island in the UK - Out Stack. The next thing you'll come to in that direction is the North Pole.
That's live weather. It is a bit grey. Could be worse - 10 minutes ago it was raining a lot.

It is a bit windy in Scotland right now, so I thought I'd try a little #MSFlightSim experiment. How would a light aircraft (Cessna 172 in this case) behave in high winds (60+ knots right now in Islay). The answer is, like a kite! Meet the VTOL Cessna 172 😂

I love flying the Joby in #MSFlightSim. Maybe I'll need to find an excuse to have a ride in one once they're in service. Although I imagine it won't be cheap...

One of the new things you can do in #MSFlightSim 2024 is get out of the aircraft and walk around. That's when you really discover how detailed the simulated world is. Here is a quick look at Barra airport after landing...

I always enjoy flying into Barra airport - apparently the only tidal beach runway that takes scheduled flights! Not that being a beach is a big problem in the Joby S4. I am enjoying flying this thing, although I do still need more practice.

If the live weather in #MSFlightSim is to be believed, it was pretty windy in Ireland earlier this afternoon. Bumpy flying in a light aircraft...!

Just tried taking a Cessna 172 up in #StormDarragh. I couldn't get it off the ground without crashing, never mind landing it. This is not the weather for light aircraft. #MSFlightSim

A little bit of practice in the Volocopter Volocity in #MSFlightSim, flying from home to the ICC in Birmingham. Wouldn't be allowed to cross the BHX flight path like that in real life! I hope Birmingham City centre looks better in MSFS 2024 - in 2020 it is awful.

Meh. Too many drama queens out there, mostly left wingers or MSFlightSim riders. That's an 800 mile trip. Easy VFR at FL080 with flight following. Only reason to fly FL340 is to save fuel. People need to put their panties back on. The pilot wouldn't have flown that without OK from the dispatcher.
