I'm at my home airport of IND. Thinking of maybe either doing some practice runs for a Super Bowl flyover (F-14) or running a few charter flights in the PC-12.

I've been flying from Moscow (DME) to Kazan and return (KZN) today on Level D-767. It's an A319 in real life but S7 have 767 equipment so I'm using FSX poetic license
Have a full S7 itineary planned out for this week...will be fun

Boeings in Russia?
Come on, that is booring.
As a matter of fact, I think I will have a go at the next leg of the tour around CIS tonight - couple days ago, I left MNS for LED, today it is out to GOJ, and then its out to SVX and NJC.
Done properly - flying the Tu-154M
Fly with PT!

Just preparing for the next flight from LAX to ANC. There I'll start my eastbound Round-the-World tour as CPA 3272 on B744F. That should keep me busy for the coming weeks

Quoting Fabo (Reply 7): Come on now, each and every of the NK-8-2Us produces over 23Klbs of thrust, more than your typical CFM56-5A4 on that A319...
Ok, ok..I'll give you that one!
Quoting Fabo (Reply 7): currently enroute on IVAO as MAH745 HEL-BUD in honor of Malev Hungarian Airlines
I was watching this flight yesterday on FlightRadar24 as it tracked south to Budapest. In the evening, caught the exact same a/c (I forget the reg) as it crossed the Irish Sea. Such a pity for Malev and Hungary.
I just finished a 6hr 30min trip from FRA to KJA on LH Cargo MD11....it's frickin' cold here!

I'm in my PMDG 747-400X doing a quick flight from YMML-YSSY. Right now I'm descending through FL230 passing overhead TARAL. Next I'll probably take my brand new ATR72 from Flight1 to YSTW and YBBN. I'll post a few pics from my recent flights shortly.

Currently flying ORD-IAD with a UA B772. Due to a slight oversight, I am at FL300 at about 13 miles out from IAD. I got sidetracked and forgot about the sim. I'll have to circle a lot as I descend, but I'll get there eventually.

I recently bought a PMDG Boeing 737NGX (worth every cent) and have been putting it to good use:
Auckland-Whenuapai-Auckland a few times in an Air New Zealand -800WL .
Auckland-Wellington in the default PMDG livery -900WL.
Christchurch-Queenstown in an Alliance Airlines -800WL.
A few flights around Rio De Janeiro in the GOL10 years livery (PR-GTF) -800WL.
Helsinki-St Petersburg in a NordStar -800WL.
Prior to all this, I began a flight in a Hong Kong Airlines 747-8i (Skyspirit 2011) from LAX-HKG. The flight was going very well until I needed to go to work. I left the flight with the autopilot activated and the aircraft at FL380 somewhere south of Alaska. When I returned home after work the aircraft had crashed somewhere between Nagoya and Osaka. OOPs
Next flight: St Petersburg-Arkhangelsk in the NordStar 737...

LED is my next destination. Currently I am in KEF. I just finished installing all traffic that operates into LED and need to install my LED scenery and then I can complete the flight.

I'm rather new, both to A.net and the FS world. But I usually do rather short flights. Typically EHAM-EGLL or KLAX-KLAS. Flights that can easily be done in about an hour. What's the charm of doing transatlantics? I mean, it can't be that interesting to watch the autopilot search for the optimal thrust setting while cruising over the atlantic? Or am I just being weird here?
On topic: I'm on my second approach attempt on a very foggy day in EGLL, coming from EHAM in a KLM 737-800. I was told by ATC to go around on first attempt as a BA 772ER got a liiittle too close on short final

Quoting Harmonium (Reply 23): What's the charm of doing transatlantics?
Well, I used to fly short legs all the time too. Lately I really enjoy flying the long runs. Of course you don't sit in front of your virtual cockpit for 8 straight hours, that would indeed be very boring and lame. I take off, climb and a little into the cruise, I leave my computer and do other stuff. Inbetween I check if everything is alright, do the occasional step climb or look outside the window if I'm just overflying something interesting.
The "charm" of that is that you land in a different region of the world and really feel like you have flown there, because 8 hours have passed since you took off and you could have flown that onboard a real plane in the same time as well. I personally don't like using timelapse, it just feels weird if you land in IAD 1 hour after you took off in LHR...
AMS-LHR sounds cool.
Tomorrow I'm flying from ANC to KIX in my FedEX MD-11F...that's some 8hrs again.

Yeah, I can kinda relate to that one. I did one flight from KLAX to KLAS in the early morning. Climbed out of KLAX over the ocean with the rising sun in my face, turned all the way around and climbed over the surrounding mountains with the sun starting to clear the morning's haze, eventually landed in the desert of Nevada. It was quite nice to see the ground turning from green and vigorous to desert
