Flew the ILS into Malang, East Java. Unfortunately departed a bit too late, and arrived after sunset.
Malang, 1712ft amsl, is surrounded by peaks of up to 12000ft on all sides but the south.
Landing after dark, eerily scooching past the mountains on the way down!
I know several people who got into XP around the time, and had roughly the same experience with the FFA320
At least the abundant frustrations are tempered by its charming (and, I guess nostalgic) quirks !!

Please appreciate how accidentally & perfectly-timed the Vatsim traffic was for this screenshot 😂

Is it Challenger time? I think it's Challenger time. 😊

Hey! Zak from Discord wants you to rate his landing at LFLB:
That’s superb! I miss MD-80
Glad to hear it, I can’t wait!!
One of the most relaxing things in the world: Watching the whole world fly past below, just like this
Looks & sounds cozy 😊
X-Plane is updated and ready to go, waiting for me while I’m itching to fly 😅

AutoOrtho makes it a lot more worthwhile 🙂
Love it!
That's my exact setup as well, flight sim go brrr

Getting my money's worth out of this! 😅
Finally back in the sim 🥺
Glorious!
It used to be OKBK. It changed to OKKK after MSFS 2020 was released 🙂

Got the CEO and took it for a test drive. Good fun, doesn't get old.
I know @c172aroundtheworld.bsky.social can't relate; the king of world tour follow through! 😅

I can't be the only one who plans ambitiously long flight sim tours and then never follows through 😔
