PeterSuranyi86 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It has been a long time since I last flew. It's time to take out FSX again, and dust of my VOR navigational skills. I love California (and of course the NorCal addon from ORBX), so I decided to take a Cessna 182 to an early morning spin. This morning's flight was from Benton (O85) to Half Moon Bay. KHAF is my favourite airport since Flight Unlimited II, can't wait for Misha to bring this airport to us (hopefully still this year)! The NorCal region already did some updates to it, but it is still light years from proper ORBX treatment... In Northern California, there is so much to see! Starting the day at Benton Field in a trusty old C182, 5:00am. The sun is just peeking on the horizon yet! Taxiing... Takeoff! The Bay awaits! Just after takeoff. NorCal is so realistic! Looking back at the still sleepy Redding This is what I like about real weather: looks like there are some surprises mounting on the horizon (I know, I should have checked the weather before, like every good pilot does)! Lake Berryessa (also reminds me of Flight Unlimited II) More and more clouds as I'm getting closer to the Bay Area. The City Suburbs of San Francisco in the middle of the soup Getting closer to KHAF, time to lower the landing gear! Moments before touchdown... ...and safely on the ground. Time to taxi! Finally, stopping in front of the (not-yet-there) Three-Zero Cafe. Time for a nice breakfast! I can't wait for ORBX KHAF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
