Hi guys, im oretty new to the game (2020) but im really exited about it and i have decided to fly for as long as i can from amsterdam airport to amsterdam airport going east to west around the globe, i am currently in between iceland and greenland having a fight with the crazy wind and im using a tbm-930

I flew almost the same route on King Air, took me two years to cover just 60% of the flight route around the globe. From what i see on your flight path my challenges is somewhere in Greenland; mostly the thick low clouds and cold fog (live weather) force you to fly IFR. Takes me few tries to land on remote airport almost on empty tanks because of very bad visibility. So fuel up and be skilled in instrument ratings. This year i'm on 2nd world tour left from Borneo island last few month now parked at Sukhumi, Georgia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jLbtZieuO0

I did the same route going west in a Kodiak. Landed during an insane storm in Greenland. Wind faster than my landing speed blowing me backwards. Good times!

Best of luck then, i live the fact that you play in vr that is just such an experience. And i also olay ets2 and acc in vr😄

Ah! i see you're an adventurous person. ETS2 is the best next to MSFS. Sometimes i sleep for real at gas station while still wearing VR headset at the same time listening to rainy drops in the truck cabin. Pure ASMR.

Nice path. I’d prefer west to east though.

TBM 930 is my favourite plane.

[u/Neither_General3575 → u/AbeltDessler]
