Amazing shots Jan! Some unique planes here and some real classics. I actually had my second ever flight (a joyflight) in a Tigermoth at Adelaide Biplanes, based at Aldinga, South Australia. The first flight was on a QANTAS 737 to get to Adelaide the day before. That was an amazing experience. In the sims I wouldn't say I use biplanes a lot, but I do enjoy flying the Tigermoth by Ant and the Waco YMF5 by Carenado (Adelaide Biplanes has one of these too). I just hate taxiing in ANY biplane! 😅.

Great shots Rodger! That does look relaxing. I must admit I VERY rarely touch gliders. I did about half of the glider lessons in MSFS. It is fun though and a very different experience from a powered flight.

Amazing shots! The Tornado has some great lines.

Lovely shots as always Darryl! Is that the FSS E190? If it is, how do you find it? Would you describe it as study level? It's been a while since I flew an E Jet in a simulator. Probably since P3Dv3 and the Feelthere E Jets.

A nice flight from Kahului in the default MSFS Cessna 152, out to Kaho'olawe Island. Kahului Airport is by Northern Sky and Kahului City photogrammetry is by Demoken.

This plane's too slow for Chuck 😅

Thanks. The Air Canada airliner is the PMDG 777-300ER. All in P3Dv5, and I think the two sceneries it is in here are Fly Tampa's Montreal (CYUL) and Fly Tampa's Boston (KBOS).

Here's another image at Brussels Airport. I THINK this is a Finnair A350 at Gate 157L (Terminal A).

I have a few different methods of finding gates for different airliners. I like to replicate real world routes at times, and try to match the type of plane, the company, and the route. For this, websites like Flight Aware are great. You can just type in either a route or an airport, and go through the lists of departures to look for your plane model. I just had a look at Heathrow, and the first A350 I saw was a British Airways plane, Flight number BAW93, flying to CYYZ, Toronto. A lot of the time Flight Aware will tell you the gate number at the departure airport and/or the arrival airport. Also, you can click on track log to see the altitude that flight flew up to, along with coordinates of the route. Another way if you're not too worried about exact gate numbers to match what each company uses is to check online for an airport map that shows which terminal is the international terminal, and this will generally be the terminal that uses larger aircraft, like the A350. Some Navigraph charts may show this, but usually they are just identified by a letter or number. A third way I have used in the past is to take a look on Google Earth or Maps, zoom into the image, and look at which terminals have which type of aircraft at them. You'll be able to spot the international terminals pretty easy like this, and gates which suit larger aircraft, and then you just compare where that terminal is to your Navigraph chart to see what the gate numbers are or just the identifier for the terminal. Sometimes you may be able to see the gate numbers on the satellite image.

Yeah, sorry you're having health issues Wayne. Take it easy, your health is the most important thing. I love your new bus. Enjoy!
