https://i.imgur.com/D2zreCW.png As a complete departure from the mountains, valleys, rivers, and canyons that have featured so prominently in our recent flights, we move to a country that has none of the above. Less than one percent of the nation is dry land, and its highest point is a towering 7 f...

Nice try, Nick, but no. Trim is disabled in the configurator, hangar assessment is "Great shape".

Curious issue with the Cherokee autopilot that arose recently. (Yes, I'm still flying it and loving it after - how long has it been? - TEN YEARS!) In trimmed level flight, when I engage the altitude hold the aircraft pitches down and descends, porpoising. It will hold altitude if the trim is run way...

Do you have the GPS enabled in the Shift 3 menu?

Some food for thought: I did a test flight in the Comanche. Climbed to 16,000 feet in 18 minutes. First symptoms of hypoxia began 14 minutes later. Descended, levelled briefly at 14,000 and still experienced symptoms, then went down to 12,000 for 10 minutes where I was fine. Climbed up to 17,000 in ...

This one is the proverbial morceau de gâteau.

You noticed! Just to reassure you: I flew the straight-line route in the Comanche with a few deviations around the higher stuff and a LOT of diving into the low bits to stave off hypoxia and only once experienced the first symptoms.
Of course, most of the time I was at about 50 feet AGL.

Trapped in Taltal, Chile, your only hope of survival is to steal an aircraft from the nearby airport and head east over the mountains to Salta, Argentina. Time is of the essence. Flee!

Get ready for spectacular vistas, a couple of bridges, and lots of valleys and canyo...

"On that topic, I was wondering how much a full walkaround is really needed, if you make several flights in quick succession." I've found, for example, a missing aileron nut, a damaged flap linkage, and a quirky elevator trim tab on various A2A airplanes. Each one, presumably, happened on ...

A sobering reminder of what the stakes really are, Dudley. Thanks. I think we'll all behave more responsibly.
