Screenshots

While we're at it, add name and maker of the textures, the location of the shot, what scenery was used, links to all of the above, the weather settings, the time of day and your favorite color.

Why? I recognise every aircraft so far

Sorry, overreacting a bit, but I used to visit a forum where these things were strictly enforced: forgot 'the list' -> post deleted....I just stopped posting and visiting, as did most others..
Imagine every post with a Spitfire having to state it shows the Spitfire 1A/IX by ....

And what's wrong with just asking if you want more info?

Quite!! And it's not that we're overwhelmed with different models of the same aircraft. It's early stages. Your last phrase nails it!

Finally had one flight that pushed me pretty much to the limits. Norway, Stavanger to Alta, exploring the polar circle. Weather was immediately moderate at best, taking off in rain, climbing to FL200 trying to clear the clouds. After a while I found a clear layer between the clouds, even managed to spot some ships along the coast. Than some more clouds, deicing turned all the way up but I forgot the prop de-icers. I was loosing speed while the engines where pushing pretty hard. Got that sorted out, but it went dark a lot faster than I expected. VOR ranges were actually a lot lower than stated in LittleNavMaps so Navigation included more dead reckoning than I felt comfortable with. Also some turbulences were rough enough to deactivate the altitude hold function, I guess it also gave some purpose to the barf bags ;). Than to make things interesting finally, my COM1 / NAV1 unit went dark. Flying into darkness with no/low visibility and missing an important piece of ILS equipment is not exactly the situation you want to be in, I guess.
Managed to sort things out, found the breaker for the Bendix unit (not on the main circuit breaker "wall" but on the lower right side), got navigation back on track and managed a good approach to a dark snowy runway.

I enjoyed the story that went with the pictures. Remids me of something Ernest K Gann might of writen.
 
Thanks Baz, JanKees did the nice paint. Great job on the aircraft, actually took off and landed without breaking anything, LOL. :encouragement:

Thank you John, coincidentally I just started reading "Fate is the Hunter" a few days ago and I know what position the book has amongst aviation enthusiasts.

Here are some more from the next flight. Alta (Norway) to Oulu (Finnlad) in one of Jans excellent liveries. Very smooth, complete ILS approach with a low and dense cloud layer. Second shot is Tromsø where you can just about spot the Arctic Cathedral.

Sorry for the monotomy in my aircraft choice, but this pretty much represents how I use FS2020 currently. If anyone is getting weary of it, let me know.
 
Absolutely NOT, I'm kinda fond of her myself! :)

For the moment however, I'm scooting around the US in Robert Young's TN G36, and loving it-

I know MSFS has it's share of shortcomings (for now) but how on earth am I supposed to fly P3D anymore when this is straight out of the box?
