I’ve getting behind on my posts again, so the next couple document the legs flown, but without much other detail.
PAHO Homer – UGB Ugashik Bay
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:

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:
