https://my.vatsim.net/events/2-years-on-trip-to-wolf-s-fang-runway Can recommend this one next time. Although you should definitely look into programming a custom waypoint before you try to land. Spotting the runway is hard in the middle of nowhere.
I think I boot up the simulator too sporadically to join a VA, I've read multiple VA's that require you to fly at least once a month. Plus it feels a bit limiting in a way? Not being in a VA allows you to fly where ATC is on Vatsim and wherever in the world you want.
If anyone has tested the Fenix A320 alongside it, would love to hear if that works as well
I've seen a video about this plane by Tom Scott years ago. But I only recently learned this is an A310. Learned so by browsing the liveries of the IniBuilds A310 for MSFS, and there it was! It's a very cool variant for sure.
They seem interesting. Aircraft accidents always make for engaging stories somehow, added them to my list! I'll see if I like em, thanks!
Had one go-around, but the landing was good for the weather I'd say. I was kinda surprised, the performance calculation showed me stopping at the end of the runway, but I stopped one holding point before the last one even! (G4 instead of G5)
Anyways Volanta showed it as a -335 fpm / 1.07G, so I'm happy
Weather at the time:
METAR EHAM 050855Z 26029G41KT 8000 -RA FEW018 SCT023 13/12 Q1002 TEMPO 4000 RA
Thanks to the Vatsim ATC at Schiphol for making the landing even more exciting!

Be sure to right click the image, and copy the image URL, instead of the URL of the webpage. So in case of Imgur, the URL should look like i.imgur.com , instead of imgur.com
Good to know that posting from Volanta servers works flawlessly! Great way to reduce storage on the lemmyfly servers I'd say
Update for @sergih123@lemmy.world and @alehc@lemmy.ml:
Falling into the sun is a bit time comsuming and finnicky. Try to keep your speed low when you approach the surface, and keep time warp to the lowest you can bear.
The surface is at around -30 km. It looks like this:
Descending further... Long trip. As you approach the core your speed will pick up rapidly. When you're at the core, you'll get slingshotted out of the core at a ludicrous speed, in my case 22248.0 km/s. Interstellar travel before it's implemented?Anyways quite satisfying flying out of the sun's core at a fraction of the speed of light. Can recommend!
... (picture soon, it won't upload)
Still an enjoyable flight. Can't wait for more long haulers in MSFS!
AMD Chill limits your FPS basically. You can enable it in Adrenalin.
Wish it could go lower than 30, but it's a quick way to toggle between 60+ fps and 30. Will definitely be using it when I arrive in the cruise phase from now on.
As it was just a science experiment, infinite fuel has been used...
But in the end I achieved this tight orbit!
I tried to land on the sun as well for the fun of it. The surface at 0 m is not solid. Currently debating if I wanna wait the 30 minutes it takes to get to the centre of the sun.
Played a little this evening. Performance is a lot better than before. Especially noticeable when launching from the launchpad. Where it froze for a second before it just chugs along smoothly now!
Is this the "Live, Laugh, Love" of planes?
I put a 1000h into MSFS2020, surely I can reach a 1000h more on this one!
Feel free to post screenshots of your game when it drops in !flightsim@lemmyfly.org
Is this added to the base game, or do you need to do some tricks to get this to work?
