Embraer E175 of KLM en route from Amsterdam to Stuttgart. The FSS eJets continue to have updates and continue to be unpredictable for me at times- still a disappointment after all this time. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

It has been suggested that today, 25 Sept (or 9/25 in US date system) should be marked as #DollyParton Day, so what better than a flight (Embraer Phenom 100 from Knight Exec in Tampa) to the newly renamed Dolly Parton International Airport in Nashville. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Loganair no longer fly the Saab 340 but I fancied taking the #MSFS2024 model for a flight, so here we go a bit retro en route from Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands to Edinburgh. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

One of the aircraft to receive a significant update for #MSFS2024 over the summer was the Boeing 707, a true classic of the jet airliner era of the 1960s and 1970s. Here it is in a Turkish Airlines livery in the skies above Istanbul. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Ace Airstream @aceairstream.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Back in early August, the new A220 eventually loaded properly- or so I thought. A SwissDay flight from Zurich to Venice- all well until I realised the STAR waypoints were all over the place, so manual vectoring was required. But generally I liked the experience.

During the summer I’ve been exploring some other interests than aviation including new tech developments such as AI, music and road cycling- they have come together in some songs for a fictional West-end style show, called “Vuelta! The Musical” listen here youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I’m going to be taking a bit of a break from posting flight sim screenshots during August. There might be the occasional post, but the pattern of daily posts will take a few weeks off.

Aug.1 is Swiss National Day, so an excuse to fly through the valleys, taking in parts of stages 1 and 2 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift at Lausanne, Aigle and the banks of Lac Leman. We're in the C172 Reims Cessna Hawk, Yverdon-les-Bains to Bern. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

The Synaptic/iniBuilds A220 - a day 1 purchase as I enjoy the short regional routes for which it was designed- but I was expecting the difficulties in getting the plane to load proerly, streaming over the MSFS servers. After these initial attempts... #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Remembering a visit to Cap Ferret in 2018, now evacuated due to the wild fires. One of the campsites nearby also evacuated, near le Porge, boasted the world’s only naturist golf course. I’ll pass by the witticisms as the situation does look pretty dreadful throughout the Gironde département.

It’s a bit of a shame that the opportunity couldn’t be taken to transport the Belugas in one of the Airbus Belugas- they used 777Fs instead.

As the Gironde wildfires to the south and west of Bordeaux, France, continue to blaze, threatening towns, villages and forest campsites around Arcachon, Cap Ferrat and the Dune du Pilat, the Canadairs are doubtless flying round the clock. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Off to Paris Orly from Grenoble-Isere airport in the Vueling #TourdeFrance livery for the last time. Totally fictional; a more sensible & eco choice would be a TGV from Grenoble to Gare de Lyon- but this is a flightsim account! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek
