Looking for him between the buildings...

Returning to the airport A few of the buildings scattered around the ramp

Some of them are quite close to the runway too! Guess I won't be flying this helicopter too far from the airport - in this weather you can't see far enough to really go anywhere, at least not without flying IFR! But I finally found Luke's plane

Landing close by and planning the next flight already Shutting down Next I'm flying this Finnair A319 to Helsinki (they don't really fly this route though)

With all the buildings blocking my way I couldn't get to runway 20... so I'll join Luke at runway 02 even though it'll be a downwind takeoff Luke's A320 is already lined up on the runway Holding short while Luke takes off

Taxiing into position... ...and rolling Takeoff from EYVI

As I climb through the soup, the autopilot fails to engage! Looks like this new 8.60 autopilot will take some getting used to... The hailstorm is damaging the windows as I switch to manual control to climb out of the clouds Out of the clouds - that means less haildamage but also very low framerates, unfortunately...

Finally got some of the autopilot modes to engage... Climbing past 18000 feet

Cruising above Lithuania at FL370 Turning back on course after the autopilot decides to stop following it for some reason (so much for smarter course following!)

I've fallen behind Luke because of all the autopilot glitches - he's already approaching Estonia while I'm still in Latvia And while I arrive in Estonia, Luke is passing Tallinn 10 minutes later Tallinn is showing up on my scope as well
