Niche hobby alert: if you have X-Plane 12 and the JustFlight/Thranda BAe-146 and the Yawman Arrow Controller, then you may be interested in my FlyWithLua script that enables multibutton functionality. For the BAe-146, I completely rewrote the script so that the header defines the buttons and commands. On my way to modularizing this! #XPlane #FlyWithLua

@ErrolNZ @oscarfalcon Holy crap, Errol, this is the first time anyone has found a pic of the real airplane I was flying in #XPlane. THANK YOU. Damn cool stuff right there. And yes I am sure it sounded amazing.
Almost finished with "The Cannibal Queen" by Stephen Coonts (he flies a big yellow Stearman around the lower 48), tonight's #Xplane #flightsim fun was to fly a similar Stearman over to Florence #Oregon. Only one small bounce on landing, never flew this airplane before.
Filled up with virtual fuel, and here's a shot of the nine-cylinder radial on the nose. And yes, the sim does make a very nice radial sound...but could not get the "wind in your face" feature to work.
Just found out tonight that a good friend from my Flying Mag and Oshkosh days - Rob Mark - has set up an #XPlane #flightsim v12 rig and wants to confab with me to iron out the usual first set of kinks all new users experience. Happy to help.
And, if anyone here ever needs a little mentoring on X-Plane, DM me and I'll walk you thru anything I can. I go back to the first versions so not much that stumps me with the sim these days. I know a few tricks as well.
Quick hop on a clear evening Eugene to Burbank (KBUR) in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet.
Nice magic hour shot of what the sim thinks is Yosemite Valley. Maybe not exactly correct, but I can use my imagination to envision Half Dome and El Capitan.
After several weeks of East Coast and Midwest assignments, my dispatcher had pity on me and I am finally coming back to the Left Coast in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Nice magic hour light as I plow west at FL260, 380 knots of ground speed. Departed Broomfield, CO and no sig WX between here and Eugene.
What's sim flying worth if you can't have some virtual fun with it, eh?

Beautiful westbound sky tonight flying my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet on a charter flight from St. Louis (KSTL) to Broomfield, CO (KBJC) hauling some virtual Pilatus suits from a conference back to their completion center.
Direct 75 kt. headwind is slowing things, but the extra fuel is worth this view.
Did not expect a pair of Piaggio 180s on the Pilatus ramp. The virtual suits tell me they were both traded in by the Ferrari F1 team. (Logo on far tail).
Having some #formation fun tonight in my #XPlane #flightsim. Took a couple of DC-3s out to Victorville, CA and just dinked around at 10,000' MSL and 120 mph.
Did not trade any paint.
Returned to KLAX and parked my ship in a FedEx hangar for the night.
Just landed my #XPlane #flightsim virtual #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet at KOSH (IFR RNAV approach to RWY 18) to bring some virtual #EAA staffers back from a make-believe conference in Wilmington, DE.
Ground told me to park on Boeing Plaza but a Cathay Pacific four-seven was taking up all the space. Get a load of that cool livery! Taxied thru the back streets to park in front of the tower instead.
A quick #funfact about flying the #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet in my #Xplane #flightsim
A few weeks ago, on final to Lake Tahoe, the plane froze up and I dumped it into the lake. On the panel are only switches for pitot and windshield heat, both were on.
Just this past week I learned there is a way to build a keyboard shortcut to turn ALL ice protection on, which turns on the X-plane version of a TKS weeping wing.
Went up into -30C +precip WX, and it stayed flying.
Problem solved.

Ihan pätevän näkönen tää X-Plane 12 nykyään. Ainakin jos on varaa ruuvata detaileja vähän enemmän päälle.
Flew from Orland-Haigh Field (O37) to San Francisco International in the Beaver, and ATC told me to taxi to the Coast Guard hanger but it’s been DOGE’d. Closed and locked. #JokingNotJoking #XPlane #FlightSim #ThrandaDHC2 #macOS #Aviation #USPol

Somebody's losing their JOB:
Just arrived thru some nasty TS into KEUG from Rapid City, SD (KRAP, no jokes, been there done that) in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet.
Parked in my usual spot in front of the old terminal, called for fuel, and the driver was apparently suffering "first day on the job" woes.
Drove the fuel truck right thru my left wing. Ever heard of a BRAKE PEDAL?
Called his boss and got: "No worries, that'll buff right out."
One of the "perks" of being a Captain for Dano Airlines in #XPlane #flightsim is that the suits let you drink beer on the flight deck. Pretty cool, eh?
Oh, did I mention all they allow is non-alcoholic beer? No worries, I always have a stock of Athletic Brewing Co.'s fine N/A IPAs.
Enjoying a cool one headed to Rapid City, SD tonight from Int'l Falls MN. Why?
(apologies for the crappy iPhone 8 pic)
