  11. The mandalorian lost its way when kathleen kennedy decided to undo the entire point of getting grogu to skywalker. Then they got worse in season 2 then just yeeted it into unforgivable disrespectful bs in season 3. Having jack black in there and lizzo removed the last zeptogram (as tiny as a single protien molecule roughly (10-21)g) ). That was bad enough then we got the unwatchable acolyte… ya im bitter, but also given general fan hatred of acolyte im not really wrong. /rant 221607072024 new page post 2 whee
  12. Guys im doing my first transatlantic flight! KJFK to EGLL or if you prefer London Heathrow! Gonna be a long one! 5 hours 57 minutes! 213107072024 update: just settled into cruise airspace and did my cross checks because its a long way to go. Anyway on my nav display i have the DATA feature on. It just shows me when I will reach a given point and distance remaining to said point. So i see: ELSIR 0437.Z 646NM except they are written with elsir above 0437.9Z above 646NM as a small column on the upper right corner of the nav display. Anyway as my last cross check for the next hour or so i cross ref between the nav display and my legs display on the FMC/CDU and my brain broke. I saw the CDU say 646NM (563NM now) and read 437.9Z as the range and not time. I thought for a moment my CDU froze. Then i saw it tick down to 645NM then 644NM and re-re-crosschecked to see i misread and both displays concurred. ELSIR is 547NM out which is 1 of 2 step climbs, FL370 to FL380 at ELSIR now 541NM and my next will be to FL390 at GISTI some 1937NM away at 0743Z. EGLL 2488NM out. 104107072024 ELSIR now 525NM away lol UG stupid forum killed my edit… ok 1 correction. Ive yet to reach oceanic airspace, im over Newfoundlands east cost. So update: ive been watching TCAS and see 2 aircraft near me closer than 40nm. 1 is United Airlines Flight 940 a 767-300ER the other is British Airways Flight 49N a 787-10. Both departed Newark around when i left JFK. Guess i have company over the ocean. Oh for fun: ELSIR IS 262NM 230907072024 ELSIR has come, ELSIR has gone. I am FL380 now with about 1375 nm till GISTI and my step up to FL390 but first, going OCEANIC as I hit submit! 233907072024 we are OCEANIC! im alone out here over the ocean. My fellow aircraft took different tracks than mine. My next waypoint 5330N is N53°00.0 W030°00.0 and its a transition from the CZQX Gander Oceanic FIR to the EGGX Shanwick Oceanic FIR where I transition from North American ATC to European ATC with my first controller at Shanwick in Northern England. Its also the middle of my flight give or take. GISTI is 850 NM away to FL390. Airtime so far: 2h58m 003607082024 sunrise over the Atlantic even in a sim is beautiful. At 0611Z i will reach EGGX Shanwick Oceanic FIR. I will be halfway across the Atlantic. GISTI is closing in at just over 550NM where I climb to final cruise altitude FL390. Its quiet over the ocean. Just me, my 2 GE90-115BLs churning away behind me. Partly cloudy over the Atlantic. Bingo 5330N halfway! GISTI now 538NM out. EGLL is 1095nm away. ETA 0836Z 011307082024 the blue skies above, puffy white clouds below and the blue of the Atlantic below that. Ireland is ahead of me with London Heathrow still over 600nm away. The end of the flight nears with top of descent coming just beyond Ireland. Its been a long lonely flight, but rewarding. Thank you friends for joining me on this, my first transatlantic flight in MSFS2020, a first in simming for me and a flight I hope one day to experience real world. My last update will come post landing. 021107082024 update in new post. 035507082024
