🌪️ Brutal WIND Flight 🌌 Bratislava 🇸🇰 ➤ Piešťany 🇸🇰 | MSFS 2020 | Missed Runway Landing!

A NIGHT flight across Slovakia 🇸🇰 turned into a wind-fueled nightmare! 💨

It all began with a violent takeoff from Bratislava – Štefánik Airport, where crosswinds slammed my virtual Cessna 172 sideways off the runway. Rudder? Maxed. Control? Barely. I finally got airborne — barely surviving — and switched to autopilot to stabilize the flight toward Piešťany Airport.

But it wasn’t over. The winds were just as vicious at the destination. 🌪️ My approach? Completely off. I couldn't even align with the runway — the wind threw me wide and I ended up landing right in the grass, totally missing the tarmac! 😱

This was not a controlled landing. It was survival.

🛠️ My DIY cockpit features:
🎮 Saitek yoke & rudder pedals
📻 Dual radio panels & full nav/autopilot controls
🎚️ Two throttle quadrants & switch panel
🖥️ Two touchscreens running Air Manager
🌀 Two knobsters for smooth instrument control
🪚 All in a home-built setup made from scrap plywood and 3D printed parts!
