Flew from KMEM to KPIT. Full ATC throughout the memphis region, and had ATC in Indy and at Cleveland Center. To top it off, I had one of my best landings in the game.. been trying to practice with the PMDG but I always had terrible landings.. this definitely wasn't a 10/10 but I'd rate it at least a 5/10 (my others being 2/10 lol)..

 

By the way, everyone on tonight was awesome. Thanks for the ATC everyone!

Very nice. I was on that night and I did KCLT-KMEM. Definitely good pilot on controllers on that night. Glad to see you had fun. Full ATC is very nice.

 

Happy Travels,

I was stuck waiting at 36L for a few guys on final, but it was a good flight. A bit of turbulence around the 22 to 27 FL range, but good flight. Though it was funny... clearance gave me the runway of 36C... found it odd since I was so close to 36L.. then after I contacted ground they basically rerouted me to 36L.. .

 

Graphics at KMEM aren't that great (used default FSX scenery for it) but I did take a quick pic of this:

Graphics are 1000000x better on my screen then the picture... I was sending it to a friend of mine interested in flight simming and so it was taken from my Galaxy s6... not from a screenshot...

HI Johnathan,

 

welcome to the pack! It is always great to see and read if new members enjoy their flights with online ATC. It is the essential thing here.

Always happy to hear a pilot have a great experience. Challenges with flying will always arise but being able to adapt to various situations always makes for fun. All of us on this network love aviation so continue to share your experiences..both pilots and controllers benefit from it!
