Happy Birthday, Jörg!

It has become a tradition that the person having its birthday can choose the route flown on that day. It was Jörg’s turn and he choose Switzerland. We crossed the country from Zuerich to Geneva along its southern lakes.

Altiports and Altiports

Altiports is a name unique to french airports with extraordinary features, usually sloped and short runways due to mountain terrain. And we had a lot of them on this flight towards Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps.

Into the Alps (again)!

The France bushtrip continued, we left the Mediterranean Sea behind us and climbed into the Alps. From now on all airports will be Altiports.

This part of France is beautifully modeled all around. Flying out of Marseille into the mountains was a truly breathtaking experience I can recommend to anyone.

France-Spain-Andorra

After flying in Australia and Vietnam, we decided it was time to continue the France bushtrip and flew 3 more legs up to Montpellier.

We admired the mountains and battled the weather and for the last legs it was getting dark as well. None the less MSFS provided great scenery and lots of foto opportunities.

AUT-SLO-ITA-CRO

I had a sightseeing trip planned for my friends spanning four countries in a little over an hour. Thanks to various world updates there was a lot to see on this trip south from Klagenfurt via Ljubljana and Trieste to Pula.

Back after hack!

Yesterday this site was attacked and subsequently closed down by the provider. While it was easy to get what little files the server had (most is elsewhere anyway) from a backup, implementing more stringent security measures was not!

Kudos go out to my friend Chris! Without his profound help pontiac51.com could have been gone forever.

But I am happy to report that all is back and well! In addition, we are now graded “A” on SecurityHeaders.

Blue skies,

Into the Pyrenees!

We (only Jörg & me this time) decided to continue the France bush trip as Chergo was still not available. Next time then!

We continued to marvel at the beautiful landscape, but later had to battle the weather and the mountains enroute to our first altiport landing.

Vive la France!

We (only Jörg & me this time) decided to start a new bush trip as Chergo was not available and we did not want to spoil the end of our Patagonia bush trip for him.

We have never flown in France before so we were curious what to expect from this trip. And we were in for a surprise.

Patagonia again!

We (Chergo, Jörg, me) covered a lot of ground flying legs 8-13 of the bushtrip in Chile and Argentina.

From deserts to mountains this legs seemed to be the most beautiful, certainly with foto opportunities around every corner. MSFS landscape generation really shines in this part of the world.

Thx to Chergo there is also a small video to watch with us battling side winds near Laguna Redonda Airport.

The Chevy is ready!

I finally found the time to finish my runner up car from the 2012 and 2013 season of the Virtual Racing DOM (Deutsche Online Meisterschaft). This was the most prestigious series I ever raced in and I am very proud to have this model in my collection now.

This model concludes my collection of the virtual cars I raced during my online career with Virtual Racing e.V. from 2005 to 2013.
