Rodger commented on their temperature the other day being -12deg C! Got me thinking about my experiences weather-wise. I have only ever experienced what I would call extreme cold and that was only for a few days in Roveniemi Finland in December, -20deg. My beer turned into a slushy!
Locally we experience very humid summer days but that's the norm this time of year. We've been on the edge of cyclones but never had damage. The only extreme weather event thus far were the floods of February 2021 that basically closed down our region.
What have been your extreme weather experiences?

Good on your son for having got this job!
So you are also living at the Gold Coast?
PS: Now let's hope that also John's house will eventually find its way into MSFS.😀
Hi Wolfgang, Tweed Heads is in the far north east of the state of New South Wales. We share the border with Coolangatta ( which is the southern most suburb on the Gold Coast in the state of Queensland). Gold Coast Airport is less than 10mins drive from my place. The crazy thing is during summer (now), one side of the street is an hour ahead of the other. As a business owner on the border I can tell you it is a real pain in the a..... !!
Cheers Wolfgang

I can imagine that comfort food is great in your winter Rodger. Just checked out the Denny's Spokane website, fancy almost all of it!.
My/our favourite local diner is the Chinderah Tavern. My go to is the 400gram Rump Steak cooked rare with fries and salad. We went there last week however it was not so pleasant being hot and VERY humid - add to that the mozzies, they're really bad at the moment! Might give it a miss until the mozzies are under control, the local council is currently using drones to spray the waterways.
Enjoy your winter mate.
Cheers

I've got in early today 7.48 pm.
My kids and their partners and I would go to the Mowbray Hotel
in Nth L'ton. Great variety of counter meals.
2 meals for the price of 1 of a Monday night.
I would go for 2 lamb shanks in red wine with veg and salad, delicious.
Haven't been back since covid but it's put the thought back into my head.
Btw A Grandfather for the 2nd time today another little boy.
So much for my flying but he's worth it.😍

It's a bug in MSFS. Once you've selected your departure, select your starting point / gate with the dropdown.
That works, thank you

Maybe you are selecting a gate that isn't configured for the airliner you're flying?
No that's not the case. For instance I select a gate at Brisbane International terminal with an A320. I do however click the dot at the gate and don't use the drop down. Still haven't had the chance to try it

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

Setting up a flight I select a gate/parking but when the flight loads it puts me on the runway. What am I doing wrong?

Not our local landscape but our very local backyard on Christmas morning. That's me in the foreground with my wife and two of our kids (and our son's girlfriend). It was such a great Christmas day!

As I'm not proficient in the full systems of avionics, GPS and instrument flying I really enjoy VFR in the South Island of NZ. Visited the region in real life in October and was blown away by the splendor of the landscape and the atmosphere of the towns. The beauty of the place is astounding! There are heaps of quality freeware airports on flightsim.to. Just today I flew from Queenstown to Milford Sound with three stops enroute. I'll be exploring for a while.
Cheers

Thank you for the music indeed Adam. A music generation before me but my late uncle made sure we (and the neighbourhood ) got to know his music. Some amazing, classic tunes that will live on. As I mentioned a while ago Southern Cross gives me goosebumps. Thanks Adam.
Cheers
