Flew a bit around Narvik today as I got the ORBX Scenery for it and oh my god how detailed it is, it's insane how if you have ever been there you can recognize stuff so well from their scenery.
(FYI I have no clue of how to fly the F16 properly.)
-
Flew around Lofoten a bit tonight with Lunnain!
-
Flew from Arlanda to Samos today with Tailor again and quite an interesting approach as you gotta fly the last bit manually and with a rather short runway (6476ft, 1974m), however got down safely with a -160fpm as landing rate and I kinda love this scenery around here.
Tho looked rather funny as Tailor came in to land since I got scenery for this airport while he doesn't and the runway was a bit off then I'd say and he did a bit of an "off-road" landing and went all the way for his passengers and cleared them through customs!
And I just love the scenery at this airport, it looks so amazing!
-
Ah nice nice, yeah first off I'm not using FSX but Prepar3d V4.
And yes when it comes to aircrafts I use PMDG products mostly, then like this airport for example the scenery is addon and something I bought yes and also have a bunch of addons to make the aircraft sound better, skies look better, fauna look better etc. So yeah could basically say my P3D is smacked with lots of addons!
-
Loaded up again and flew back from Samos to Oslo instead with Tailor and Scotty, then switched to a last flight with Ryanair from Stansted to Edinbrugh now with Tailor and London. Been a total of 9h of flying today I think and just finished my 50th flight, totally dead right now so now it's finally time for bed.
-
Flew from Gatwick to Jersey today, god it feels good to be able to fly again and without any lags.
(Brace for pic spam)
-
Flew into Greenland the other day, even tho the weather was nasty from where I departed it was still pretty nice in Greenland.
(Departing Canada)
(Arriving Greenland)
Still learning to use the yoke tho so the landings are a bit on the rougher side at the moment.
But hey Ryanair would still hire me with those landings.
-
Flew out of Tromsø tonight towards London and Gatwick with Norwegian Air International for a 3 and a half hour flight, was a nice flight with Scotty and another guy (which I don't know the forum nick of but Monkern60 on discord).
Lovely weather over with a bit of turbulence between 13 000ft and 10 000ft on approach to Gatwick, for those of you who care my landing rate into Gatwick was -134fpm.
Also FYI I still really like the Tromsø Airport and scenery.
All parked up at Gatwick and now gonna call it a night.
-
Flew the big lady today from New York JFK to London Heathrow, a beautiful aircraft but handles like a fridge in the sky compared to the smaller 737 and I still struggle to get a good landing with her... :/
-
Flew this baby today for a short jump with Tailor, god I love the 737 and flying it.
Landed her at Albany Airport with a whopping -81fpm.
-
Flown Singapore - Oslo - Lakselv - Stockholm with this baby now over the past few days, parked her up now as it's time to get ready to head back to work and out to the airport early in the morning to grab a real flight down to Oslo.
-
Flying one of my aircrafts from Tromsø back down to Oslo, found quite some traffic at ENTC today and not bad flying weather at all. Seems to be a really beautiful flight down to ENGM.
-
Flying over from Berlin to Norway while watching Jeff Dunham on Netflix and I am literally dying, Walter and then that Irish baby omg.
Maybe it's because I am a bit tired or something but this is just too funny.
-
Flying the cute and chubby 737-600 today to my hometown, y'all gotta agree on that it's quite cute.
The cool thing too is that she's so tiny so she basically don't require lots and lots of runway to takeoff.
-
For them classic car lovers, or anyone just feeling for a spook hunt in the castle? This spook mobile got some real fire under the hood producing a whooping 590bhp after tuning it a bit.
(PS spoiler contains some honourable mentions of some other cars. )
The Bean wagon, producing a crazy 242bhp. (that's a lot for such a light car.
The Toy car, this one is just INSANE. It has 300bhp and 3 wheels, it's so unstable that it's nearly impossible to drive on anything other than a straight.
The Robin, having 680bhp and also 3 wheels as the other one above you can also see how hard it is to manage to take turns with and it does as in Mr Bean easily roll over without a doubt.
The beautiful VW Gold GTI 16V MK2 1992 model, having 730bhp it sure moves forward at least.
And last but not least, my 1976 JEEP CJ5 Renegade. This insane machine I call "The Beast" after tuning it as it now produces a whopping 1380bhp, it is literally impossible to press the gas pedal to go just an inch forward with it as it will instantly jump 10 feet forward instead.

FH4 is just FH3 all over again but apparently set in the UK, yet the map looks like they just ripped 3's map & edited it! Forza used to be better than GT but now they seem to just follow suit & spit out the same bunch of cars in " new " dlc packs & not really changing anything.
Its annoying because thats where Need For Speed went wrong releasing Carbon a load of times. Why cant they just go back to how FM4 was before it all got stupid. What made me laugh is the aussie guy is back but they edited his voice to be more british & then theres the fact people will want it for the london taxi only to ruin it by shoving a v8 or whatever up its rear, slamming it into the ground making it go nuts & ultimately killing off the icon it once was......yes you can weld the engine from a gtr in the back of a smart car, but that doesnt mean you should

Found an old YouTube clip of me, or well it's not really me but the truck overtaking in the beginning is me driving. Think that car might have learned in the end to not piss off truckdrivers anymore!
-
Friday night and it's finally time to jump into my own bed at home again and sleep without having to have any alarm wake me up tomorrow.
-
Good evening everyone,
So regarding those dash cam clips I have posted a while back I know it's quite some time now since I last posted one so thought I'd do that right now actually, have had this and the future clips to come in the next day on my computer for a while now never just got around to post them.
So todays(tonights) clip is from arriving in Harstad, Troms from entering the city/town and driving up to the dairy production facility we drive from incl. a detour due to roadworks so the main road is closed. Observe the Toyota Land Cruiser and how he wobbles all over the road and seem to be unable to stick to a specific speed, drunk or something maybe?
I thought I'd try to upload one or two more tomorrow for those of you still interested.
-
Good evening everyone, for those of you feeling like it I just published a new video for you lot to watch, recorded earlier today while arriving into Tromsø.
-
Good evening you lot,
New video should be up right now and available to everyone still interested, this time with a bit more snow and some beautiful wintery landscape!
-
Good evening,
Got another video for you lot ready now, a short one tonight tho containing some stupid animals etc.
Observe how other vehicles flash their high beams at me to warn me for oncoming danger, also observe the thumbs up I got from the second truck cuz I scared them off.

Haha Mirrland as you can see this clip is a couple of days old, I got a newer clip going up later taken a day ago and its A LOT more snow in that one I can tell you. Winter sure is on its way, wet roads and freezing temperature tonight which means I can officially classify myself as an Ice Road Trucker. Even looking and the brake pedal made all of my brakes lock... xD
And nah Mika its not snow all year around, we got some mountain tops where there is snow all year around yes but not that many. We get some warm summers here too and especially since the sun never sets here the temperature stays about the same day and night. And yes I did actually lay on my air horns mounted on the roof to scare them off as they love to lick the salt on the roads not much else scare them, I am even shocked that I actually did managed to scare them cuz usually they don't care about anyone or anything when they're about licking salt off the road...

Good evening,
New clip should be up and available now from last week when driving over Kveanangsfjellet during the night, quite some snow that has come there now and this is just the beginning of the winter so a lot more snow is expected over there. Some parts of that mountain you basically drive on the cliffside that goes 400m straight down into the fjord so basically if you drive out of that road thats something you only do once.
And also this mountain pass and some others nearby are notorious when it comes to foreign truck drivers getting stuck up them during similar driving conditions as this and theres actually 2 spots in this video one on my side and one on the opposite side of the road where you can see that trucks have been standing still for a while, can you find them? Btw the clip is speed up x2.

Haha Trucker, södra Sverige har ju inte ens vinter. Var nere i Blekinge/Skåne förra julen och var ju 10 plus och finväder över hela julen så vi tog oss till och med en dagstripp till Helsingör och strosade runt på gatorna där över dagen.
Yeah Positive I can agree with you on that, most of the times they have bad tires that aren't made for conditions like these. Sometimes the drivers aren't aware of what they should do or how they should act when its slippery etc, I mean most of the trucks have a lot of equipment to assist with bad roads etc. For example I have a tag lift so I can move load over from the rear axle to the drive axle or even lift the rear axle no matter the weight if I'd like, also one thing to switch off on slippery roads is traction control as it may doom ya. Then we also have something called OnSpot which basically is a tiny wheel sitting next to the drive wheels that has chains hanging from them and by the push of a button from my cab they lower them selves towards the wheels and rotate with it and in that way throws those chains in under the wheels itself, however nothing beats the proper snow chains we have hanging on the side. But I really dislike putting them on since its quite some work and you get really really dirty with sand and stuff everywhere...

@Noxii hahaha halland hade dock lite snö förra året jag övningskörde med farsans bil och fick understyrning i en korsning men klarade mig genom understyrningen. får la ha vinter mod på ets2 då så det känns som vinter även ifall det är ett spel

Good morning you lot, been a while since I uploaded any dash cam clip so I finally got around to upload another one tonight or rather this early morning. Recorded last night when we got quite a large amount of snow coming down driving from Tjeldsund Bridge towards Harstad, as always I hope you like it or find it interesting or something!
Still have some other old dash cam footage saved on my computer so hopefully I'll have some spare time in the next few days to upload some of them as well for those of you interested.
As I am finally parked up in Alta (the northernmost city in Norway) for the night and the clip is uploaded I am finally going to call it a night and go to bed so goodnight!
-
Good morning you lot, early sunday morning which means it's soon time to head back to work sadly...
Got a new short clip for you lot again, thought I'd share a longer one tomorrow. This one is from a while back earlier this autumn as a Volvo seemed to have some kinda engine problems so the Popo officers decided to show their muscle by pushing it up the hill into a better spot to stop.
-
Gosh I just love the Italy DLC, such beautiful scenery around and the sunrises and tiny roads in some places etc.
-
Got a bit more snow tonight!
Parked for the night, now it’s time to hit the bed and sleep a little before driving home towards weekend tomorrow afternoon.
