MS Flight Simulator 2024: Around the World update 7: Continuing North-west through mainland Alaska

Following on from update 6, I continued heading north-west along the coast of mainland Alaska. I’ve gained an appreciation for how vast Alaska is. Most of my other legs flown so far I’ve easily passed through a couple of states or even countries in a single leg, but it’s going to take a few more hours to make it west to Russia and then on to Japan.

I’ve also been having a hard time keeping track of my inflight screenshots and matching where they were taken. A quick Google and I found the Geoshot add-on for MSFS, which automatically geo tags your screenshots, so I’ll be using that from this point onwards (once I’ve caught up with my backlog of the last couple of legs).

For this update I’m covering 2 legs:

Port Hardy CYZT – PAVD Valdez

PAVD Valdez – PAHO Homer

First leg:

MS Flight Simulator 2024: Around the World update 6: Oregon -> Washington -> Alaska

Continuing from Update 5, I left Southwest Oregon Regional KOTH, continuing north from Oregon, through Washington and into Alaska:

Although it seems I’m seeing less issues with MSFS 2024, random weird issues still popup, like this odd rending issue on the ground at KOTH:

This reminded me of the screen update issue you used to get on Windows 95/98 when you drag a window across the screen and leave a trail:

A restart and some time later, and passed over Seattle:

Into Alaska, no glaciers yet, but incredible scenery:

MS Flight Simulator 2024: Around the World update 5: I5 North through California, into Oregon

I have a backlog of screenshots to catchup on with my Around the World flight – here’s continuing from Update 4 – this update covers 2 legs, from Edwards to Half Moon Bay KHAF, and then onto Southwest Oregon Regional KOTH:

After leaving Edwards and flying over LA, I started flying North following I5 over the Grapevine and into the California valley:

Took a short break on this leg, stopping at Elk Hills Buttonwillow L62:

From Buttonwillow I headed west to the California coast, passed San Luis Obispo and then started heading north along the coast:

More scenery streaming issues over SFO:

Realtime weather, fogged in approaching Sonoma County for a break:

Northern California following 101 north:

It’s surprising how mountainous most of the Oregon coast line is:

I ended this leg at Southwest Oregon Regional KOTH, but forgot to take any screenshots on approach.

Next up, heading through Washington and on to Alaska.
