Just to keep discussions alive on the forum and toot my own horn, I am really getting used to the MSFS2020 simulator (Microsoft calls it a Game). For P3d I have a lot of Payware airports. I am not repeating all those in MSFS. I am only getting the major airports that I like to visit, virtually.
I still enjoy the P3D as I can use more aircraft. And it is a lot easier to maneuver around the program.
Since KPHX is my home airport at AAV, naturally I have a good version of it. GSX for MSFS along with the Simbrief make it much more Virtually real. Gotta Love it!
These pictures are at the gate and getting ready for a flight. The aircraft is a PMDG B738.
So posting more screenshots here;

MSFS 2020 makes it real easy for Screenshots to look good, especially for the Screenshot contest. But still one has to have an "eye for the photograph" and visually compose the shot.
Thanks all
Am I boring you yet?

Re: Am I boring you yet?
Have you watched any of the youtube instructional videos for the 737 by 737NG Driver? Here's an example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBGSunG-N48

Re: Am I boring you yet?
I watched how to set it up in MSFS. Not applicable for my setup. I am fairly adept at using the PMDG products. Carry over from FS9-FSX- P3D- MSFS.
Good Video link Harold for VNAV nice stuff to use.
I have been starting the simulator each morning before the rest of the family, my dog, gets out of bed. Fine tuning the B737-8 on flights of my own FREQ. I do not want to jump on VATSIM as yet. Still a little slow with the MSFS program to keep up.
I would like now to get on JoinFS and see how the MSFS performs. I am in the Pacific time zone and free anytime. (retired 20 years now). Any takers, contact me off forum. I know you said you would Harold.
If that works and I am able to keep up in the program, then maybe the weekly or a Bi-monthly GFI could come back and interest new pilots. I would have to learn VATSIM speak all over again.
Thanks

Re: Am I boring you yet?
I'm doing my last leg of my FREQ tonight into DCA. Just so happens they are hosting a fly in. It's the Cherry Blossom fly in. I should be flying in CRJ9, but given it is a fly in that just started, and a lot of traffic loaded already, I want to fly something that can handle anything the throw at me...so the pmdg it is. here I am at KCLT.

Re: Am I boring you yet?
It just gets better with age.
KBOS from FlyTampa and GSX makes the aiport xperience much more. I spend more time on the apron than I do flying it seems. The AI for MSFS has taken this all to a new level.
My wide screen cockpit (3 monitors) really does the sim what it was designed for.
Gotta Love It !
