Southern Sweden Hops BGA Flights December 25, 2021. Yup Christmas day  Thanks Allen. I hope your Christmas was blessed. Aviat Pitts Special, MSFS 2020 ESSV Visby to ESSW Vastervik When I got here 3 days ago there were just light patches of snow on the ground - it is colder and snowier now. It was kind of chilly in the Aviat bi-plane (even with a canopy).    I love the floating ice down there  And I like the snow melt on the sunny side of the roofs. This is ESSW Vastervik.  Changed to a Diamond Aircraft DA-62 with a little warmer and more comfortable cabin for the hop to ESSP Kungsangen. I can barely see the runway down there    This far north the sun is not very high in the sky - was about noon.   Made it to ESSP. Next two hops are ESSZ and ESSB  |

Wonderful shots Steve, great scenery! You are well on the way to making me get
FS2020 fully operational. I'm being lazy and FS9 is still what I fly.

Hi Ed. Thanks for the kind words. Maybe you can be flying MSFS 2020 in 2022. That would be a worthy accomplishment. If you have the PC power and SSD/HD space, and can stay ahead of the constant upgrading of the sim, there is nothing as impressive and enjoyable as 2020. I am sure the upgrades will lessen or come to a halt sometime in the future, and we won't feel like we are beta testers. I am fortunate that I have only had two updates that stopped me in my tracks. But I was able to find a way to solve the dilemas via forums, help desks, and even a call to X-Box. Updates always provide aditional scenery and in one case 5 free aircraft. The sim upgrades are ways for Asobo Studios to solve simulator problems. So, the 2020 sim keeps getting better and better. I still use X-Plane 11 and P3D ocassionally in multiplayer sessions that require aircraft not available in 2020. Having to try to remember the controls of three sims keeps my brain working as I get older. Each of the three sims have their own benefits but I am really glad to have MSFS 2020 Cheers Steve |

Thanks Steve. I will get off my backside and come to terms with MSFS 2020. Ed

Southern Sweden Hops BGA Flights December 27, 2021. ESSP - ESSZ - ESSB - ESSN flying the Socata Trinidad TB21 GT in MSFS 2020 Departing ESSP (Kungsangen) off in the distance at my 5 O clock    Not too far from ESSZ  Someone forgot to get the mower out - maybe it was too cold - I couldn't find the grass runways so I carefully landed in a field. Here I am on a runway ready to take off from Vangso ESSZ.  On my way to Stockholm Bromma (ESSB)  Looks like they need to get the snow-blower on that runway at ESSB  A quick livery change and a brief tour around Stockholm before heading out to the last hop of the day to ESSN  Church steeples everywhere.   On the ground at Norrtalje. Stopped on the runway after a good landing. OOPS guess I needed to find the off ramp and a place to park for the night.  Finally time to get out and get something to eat at ESSN  This is so much fun - think I will try to get some more hops in before 2021 rolls over to 2022. |

Hi Steve, did the frozen grass on the runway at ESSZ require a longer takeoff run?

Good question Allen. I didn't notice the end of the runway, and I don't recall flying into any trees on the way out, so I don't have an answer to your inquiry. I bet in a non virtual world all that icy grass would have had an effect on the take off run. |
