Las Vegas to Furnace Creek - MSFS 2020

A flight from Las Vegas to Furnace Creek, Death Valley National Park :The lowest, hottest airport in the United States. 42 degrees on this day.
Furnace Creek is a community made airport. Solid work.
The pens behind the terminal are apparently wild burrow pens. The park captures them.
Climb out at 7:00, the Strip at 13:15 or so, landing in Furnace Creek 6:20.

Wow, fantastic scenes and VR mixing that appear to match your pilot skills. This is a superb combination of art, skill, and technology. With two brothers and an uncle being private pilots I have just small appreciation of your passion and skills on display here. Now mix that with my head over heals love affair with Death Valley National Park you may see why I'm so enthusiastic about your video production. Also, your plane is totally gorgeous! For this reason I've edited your video to a custom format for non-pilots who know nothing about cockpit instrumentation but love the geology of Death Valley with common landmarks inserted. It's just under six minutes long but I believe captures the thrill of your flight which includes many of your VR scenes which I believe add an informative and entertaining aspect to your work. The soundtrack is of two songs about flying which I hope viewers will hear as an enhancement to the emotional experience of flying into Death Valley. Here's the six minute version for your review which currently is uploaded to my channel as "unlisted" awaiting (hopefully) your approval to post it "publicly" for fans of Death Valley National Park to enjoy. My channel is non-monetized because I have no desire or need to profit from videos I create about my favorite national park. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h520kmiXpb-fp9E

Thanks! No trouble at all with using my video. Good job on editing it. I’ve never been to Death Valley. It must be a pretty amazing place to see. The closest I’ve got is BC. :) Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate that.

I appreciate you pointing out the various landmarks and providing the real world photos by the way. Really nice.

@@markgruchy727 Thank you for the permission because I really enjoyed pulling the video together. However, I'm puzzled "that I've never been to Death Valley." Does this mean your entire video is Virtual Reality? It appears to me that you personally piloted your plane from Vegas to Furnace Creek Airport taking a video from a head mounted GoPro type camera and added the VR outside shots of you in your plane in post production. I'd be fascinated by your reply if you have the time. Thanks again!

@@DeathValleyDazed Nope. That is all Microsoft Flight Simulator. The airport at Furnace Creek is a community made add on. The landscape mesh in the US is pretty high quality. Because Furnace Creek is unique in that it is amongst the hottest, if not the hottest, airport in the world, and because it offers an interesting fly out from Las Vegas, I sought it out and sometimes fly in there in the sim.

@@DeathValleyDazed The sim uses real world weather data. I think it was 46 degrees Celsius there that day if I recall.
