... we have some european-managed touristical hotspots: The first one is Madeira, out departure airport for today.

An outstanding airfield, with a tricky approach similar to the old Hongkong Kai Tak.

... and the harbour of Arguineguin. If you ever come there, visit Marino Chico and get yourself the Café Mexicán! https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/ShowUserReviews-g580323-d3372651-r661338713-Restaurante_Marino_Chico-Arguineguin_Mogan_Gran_Canaria_Canary_Islands.html

We descend along the settlements of Maspalomas. I have seen this approach often in real life, now we get it in the sim as well. (I have to admit I even added some photoreal on top of the great improvement by OLC.)

Pozo Izquierdo. One of the worlds hottest windsurf spots. It is guaranteed no sand will be flying there (it has only rocks...).

A pleasure to fly with these sceneries. The virtual world is becoming better and better...

Thank you Herman. This was quite a short flight, now I go back to Africa and these are other distances...

Fantastic Gerold.  Let me ask you a personal question.  I've been so extremely busy lately that I don't even have time to sleep.  I'm curious, how many hours a day do you spend at the PC flying the sim?

Thank you Jack. My block time varies... from zero (rarely), to 1-2 hours (usually), to 3-5 hours (extreme, over weekends or holidays).
