Welcome to Japan! We have made some flights there recently and after my homepage being up again it was time to take some pictures of this beautiful World Update in MSFS2024.

Real Scale Modeling

Better late then never!

Due to the server downtime I have not posted a project I am currently working on. It is quite a unicorn in modelers circles, a Monogram Trans Am in 1:8 scale. The kit was gifted to me about a year ago by my friend Attila and was a garage find. The kit is close to 50 years old, but still in good condition.

All engines back online!

Thanks to furious work over the last couple of days and a little help from ChatGPT I was finally able to import all the photos from Google. In total 190 galleries have been restored and everything should be there again. I even found a few more albums I hadn’t even posted yet, but that is for another day.

Thank you, Google! Not!

Due to the deactivation of the Google Photos API on 31.03.2025, currently all pictures of pontiac51.com are OFFLINE!

I am currently transfering all the pictures to a new provider and deciding which gallery plugin to use in the future.

Please stay tuned, I hope to return the site to full service soon.

Building Bricks

Now a Streamer

Recently, I have become active on Twitch. For the time, I am building bricks with @LadyMacBrick, an old friend of mine. Usually, I do stream on Wednesdays, at or about 6pm CET. After the stream, videos also go live on Youtube. Like this one, buliding the DeLorean form Back to the Future.

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.
